Book Discussion Your Physical Occult Book Collection / Library

[The God-King]

Def gonna have to update my list. Purchased quite a few books since I posted my list

 

[DiLoco_DelEted]

I bought the Ultimate Guide to the Rider Waite Tarot, Hoodoo Herbal, on my own. The RW book is terrific unless your symbolism goes out the window with a new deck. Hoodoo Herbal is a great overview and has good Hoodoo info.
I was gifted for thirty bucks:
The Golden Dawn 7th Ed, outstanding.
Druid Power, good but heavy on Fae.
Wild Magic, fair but heavy on Fae too.
Magic of the Celtic Otherworld. Terrific.
Christmas presents included Israel Regardies and the Philosophers Stone, Candle Burning Magic, and The Mystical Qabalah. Candle burning magic is heavily highlighted and falling apart. The other two barely read.

I had a kickass LHP and RHP library going, burned the LHP books in a religion frenzy and someone kidnapped my RHP books saving them from the fire.
But, that library was bought when I made great money and had a temporary abode for them.
Now to do it all over again requires a job and home first and foremost, not this repetitive decade long crap of mine.

Quick query - do things like Frazer's 'The Golden Bough' count?

 

[Fogseason]

Magick in theory and practice
The Blue Equinox
Adversarial Light, Magick of the Nephilim
Energy Magick of the Vampyre (Pathworking through this)

So far that's all i have, unless Jung counts.

Dude those are some Choice Crowley selections.

I'm a bit jealous you have a HC of Magick without Tears...lol

How is your Liber ABA (Skinner Ed)? Is the Binding Okay?

Also...

I don't think I've ever noticed this thread before.

I'd like to share mine as well but it might take me a while because I have probably 70-80 books.

I'll make a list off-line as I have free time and then post it later.

 

[neilwilkes]

I picked up the Magick Without Tears (1973 Llewellyn first printing) at Abe Books - you can get some great deals there, and to date I have never had a poor experience. The Keep Silence Equinox reprints look great on the shelf too.

Liber ABA is not the greatest HC in my collection, that's for certain and it's not a patch on what I have seen pictured here - no slip cover, no dust jacket, no ribbon marker and some seriously cheap, nasty recycled paper - but the cheap price should have been a warning to me.

I've got thousands of PDF though, and am seriously looking at learning book binding ion order to just make my own one-off copies from printed sheets off the PDF, done by the local laser print outlet (much cheapness but really crap plastic ring-binding of loose-leaf pages) rather than buying shoddy editions from the dreaded Amazon.

Look forward to your list - my physical collection is around 50 books, and I need to get many more whilst I still can.

Damn - got another supposed Dee book I forgot to add as it wasn't on the shelves, but in a pile to be read.

The Rosie Crucian Secrets - their excellent methods of making medicines of metals, also their lawes and mysteries

Oh snap dude!!! You got your hands on a copy of the New Black Brick!!! Noice!!

That's one of my next 'Holy Grails'.

I was going to get a copy over the Holidays but that sale on Liber ABA happened and I had to put the Black Brick on hold.

I definitely want to get a copy before the Spring/Summer if I can.

 

[DiLoco_DelEted]

Definitely grab the Big Blue Book when you can, that book was fantastic, but way over my head at the time, save select passages from the book.
The Black Brick and its newest version are both very good. I did come across Foundations of Magic and Ceremonial Magic online, and have a physical copy of Regardies original The Middle Pillar which is very interesting with the psychology text in itself. Love Crowleys Liber ABA.

Great Collection!!

Echols books are Awesome.

I really need to get a copy of Ritual an Essential Grimoire because it has a lot of Energy work exercises and I’m always looking to get better in that area and Damien is the best teacher of that within Ritual.

Circles of Power and Chicken Qabalah are awesome too and Greer and DuQuette are also two of my favorite authors.

 

[Emperor Time]

I agree Ritual an Essential Grimoire is a great book and has been very helpful. I can't tell if it or the Psychic Witch book has help me more on that front.

 

[neilwilkes]

Another version of Monas Heiroglyphica to add - the 2021 Drs. Teresa Burns & Nancy Turner translation this time.
I'll be writing a detailed review of this at some point, but more on that in the right place as there are things to consider.....and I will be asking for help on what way to jump

[art-vark2323]

Lots of academic books too, mostly books on the history of magic and occultism. Some books on mythology from around the world. A few Theosophy books too!

 

[Lord_Cthulhu]

• ASAYA KA LUXA
• ZAKAEL: The Stargate of KRYST

Hey how would you rate these two tomes? I'm seriously considering buying Zakael but for $850aud give or take I'd like to know what someone who owns it thinks of it?

You have an epic collection
