The Tarot of Marsilio
Down Here is the first of a meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated three volume work, The Tarot of Marsilio by Christophe Poncet; a landmark inquiry into the origins of the Tarot de Marseille. Against the prevalent view in the academy, Poncet argues that the Tarot de Marseille is a work of esoteric philosophy hidden in plain sight.
Arriton
Arriton is an enigmatic work from the artist Ayis Lertas. To open Arriton is to encounter the remnants of a lost esoteric tradition, leaves from an untranslated manuscript, a chance find amongst the disordered bookstalls of a remote ancient city. The seeker is thence immersed into a world redolent of gnostic gems, magical alphabets, defixiones and the spells of the magical papyri, which unfolds following a logic all of its own and yet remains entirely alien. It is a Borgesian artefact which will intrigue, challenge and reward contemplation.
Avalon Working
Mark Nemglan’s Avalon Working is equal parts grimoire and devotional, gazeteer and visionary journey. The work passionately argues for Glastonbury as centre of emergence and initiation, a latter-day Eleusis. Through essay and ritual, the author invites readers to actively participate in the Holy Island’s unfolding destiny, in partnership with its spirits and powers, to co-create its mythopoeia and, in doing so, forge a new Avalonian covenant.
The Olympic Spirits (Forthcoming)
The book examines the ritual magic and spiritual frameworks of the renowned Swiss alchemist Paracelsus (1493–1541). Its approach to the subject is divided into three categories: biographical, historical and practical.
Land of the Goat
The Pyrenees Mountains of Spain, France, and Andorra are the birthplace of the primordial witch known as the bruxa. This unique supernatural figure could communicate with spirits, cast spells, control weather, and serve as the Devil's consort. It was here, in the dark, rugged alpine landscapes of the Pyrenees, that the first secular laws against witchcraft were passed in 1424. Drawing on legal records, local history, and folklore, the Land of the Goat explores the Pyrenean witch, its magic, and evolution over time.
Glastonbury Abbey (Forthcoming)
We discussed doing this book with Paul some time ago and are delighted that it’s now underway. Paul’s deep researches into the Abbey – its saints, kings, nobles, and sinners is sure to be a fascinating read. Anyone familiar with Paul’s previous works in history, myth, psycho-geography and synchronicity can look forward to another thrilling and strange journey, this time into the Abbey and its secrets.
