Cameron: Songs for the Witch Woman


Philippe Vergne - 2015
    Her powerful personality led to a number of roles in key underground movies such as Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome, and her features adorn the cover of the first issue of Wallace Berman's Semina. Today, her delicate melding of Surrealism and mysticism has been rediscovered by a younger generation of artists. This volume, published for an exhibition at MOCA LA, includes pieces formerly thought lost, ranging from early paintings to drawings, sketchbooks and poetry, as well as ephemera, collaborations and correspondence with individuals such as her husband, Jack Parsons (the rocket pioneer, cofounder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and acolyte of Aleister Crowley), and mythologist Joseph Campbell.

Liber Pyramidos


Jake Stratton-Kent - 2015
    John’ (in Crowley’s Equinox Vol. 1. No. 1.). Jake Stratton-Kent has carefully expanded the abbreviated and skeletonic sections, restored headings and numbered the sub-rituals. It is the author’s understanding that this ritual is not identical with the A. ' .A. ' . Initiation rite (TROA) referred to in the Dominus Liminis task and elsewhere, but is very closely related to it. He is also aware that certain parties, including the O.T.O. are opposed to information being released concerning that ritual. On this occasion the author is in agreement with the Caliph, accordingly, whilecertain documents have been consulted to make this the most definitive text possible, no expanded commentary, and no comparisons with the unpublished text of TROA have been included.Part of the 'Guides to the Underworld' series by Hadean Press.
