This was mentioned in Frater Archer's most recent email newsletter.

From the email : the astonishing 1967 anthology . That last book, in particular, is the first volume from a shelf I have set aside to guide me into my next project: a book on sigils and ritual magical practice as they took shape between the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
