LeMulgeton: Goetia and the Stellar Tradition by Leo Holmes The book had a total run of 300 copies, but this is the very rare "Folded Edition," limited to only 59 copies of which this is #41. The folded edition also included digital copies in both PDF and EPUB formats, both of which will be emailed to the winner. Most of The Ars Goetia readers, if not all, are much more interested in what they can get or do by using it than in its origins. But how did it arrive to our days? What, or who, are the subjects in the book? Why 72 and what do their classifications mean? What can their depictions say about them? A lot of questions remain, and it is the aim of LeMulgeton: Goetia and the Stellar Tradition to point towards where some of those answers can be found. Throughout the pages of this work, the author attempts to relate both Lemegeton and Mul.Apin (a Babylonian compendium that deals with many diverse aspects of Babylonian astronomy and astrology), attributing the Goetics to the Sumerian Constellations (which include single stars and planets) neglecting the prose’s linear flow for the sake of mythic astronomical approach. For that, the author analyzes every possibility – similarity in names, coincidental depictions, mythological attributions and even Constellations’ modern names – following the order in which the demons are presented in Lemegeton. This associations are not to be taken dogmatically though, but rather serve as a pragmatic working table to stimulate contemporary magicians to further develop knowledge and practice on these matters. Mul.Apin and Lemegeton are apophenic (and pareidolic) maps whose sole intent is to serve as a medium for keeping alive a knowledge which is probably as old as human nature. Therefore, those associations are temporary, ever revolving, just like the stars they are about. The aim of LeMulgeton: Goetia and the Stellar Tradition is to attend a call and to re-establish a long lost connection with the Elder Gods. Table of Contents: Foreword The Rejected Gods The Seventy-two fold Key Godhunt The Tarot Later Middle Eastern Traditions and their Influences The Fixed Behenian Stars Crowley, Grant, Lovecraft and Others The Stellar Kabbalah Prospects Afterword Appendix (Planisphere) Specifications: 106 pages, 135 g. paper.

The first 59 copies are presented in a black rugged folder, sigilized in silver with the Orion constellation and wax-sealed with the Nox Sine Occasu seal.

The author, Leo Holmes, has been studying and practicing magic for over fifteen years, dealing mainly with Chaos Magic and Thelema, but also being initiated in Umbanda, Candomble and Jurema cults. His studies and research made him realize that many Goetic spirits bear the names of ancient Middle Eastern gods and in past these gods had planets and stars attributed to them. LeMulgeton: Goetia and the Stellar Tradition is the result of six months of studying Mul.Apin an
