Open Request Liber Umbrarum : Book of Shadows

[Mohammed Salah]

Liber Umbrarum is a complete six-month system of practice for conjuration of elemental spirits, demons, planetary archangels, and the Holy Guardian Angel. The practice is a synthesis of material from the Abramelin, the Key of Solomon and the Heptameron, with elements from the Arbatel, The Magus and the writings of Eliphas Levi. The structure and composition make this a much more viable and practical method than the Abramelin for communicating with the Holy Guardian Angel in the modern age.

The instructions include preparations for the temple (‘the Oratory’), daily prayers, clothing, and diet, as well as the rules of daily life and specific directions for three groups of two lunar cycles. This all leads to the ritual of initiation or self-consecration, with detailed rules to be observed for the rest of your life. It also includes construction of the magic circle, and preparation of the robe, altar, sword, pentacle, and wand which are to be used during the rituals.

This exciting and beautifully illustrated Italian synthesis of grimoire texts draws attention to the widespread range of magical groups and practices outside of the popularly publicised traditions of modern magic. In so doing it reminds us there is still a wealth of unseen and important material waiting to be brought into the light, of which this is a bright illuminating ray.

Originally published by Edizioni Rebis and edited by Pier Luca Pierini, this new Hadean Press edition is translated by Steve Savedow.

Our hardcover edition is limited to 300 copies, and is covered in black buckram and stamped on the cover and spine in gold.

Book Request Rule No. 5 "The request must reasonably be able to be fulfilled (don't ask for super rare books that are not digitized and obviously no one has access to them)"

The book is only available as a hardcover in a limited edition of 300 copies by a specialized fringe publisher. It doesn't get much super-rare than that.

You're right, it's now offered as a paperback on amazon now so I've changed the thread's tag to "Open". A declined request is mostly meant as a signal to book sleuths that it's very unlikely the book will ever surface as a free file; it doesn't mean that it's prohibited from being fulfilled - we've had such cases before when a super-rare book was declined but later found by a member against all odds.

Indeed; this availability definitely increases the possibility of seeing this one fulfilled. Cheers!
