Straight to Hell

For those of you looking for more Grimoire material from Jake Stratton-Kent we can confirm that Volume II of the Encyclopaedia Goetica is under way and it promises to be a weighty tome.

Jake will also be featured in our second volume of Howlings due this Autumn.

The deliriously tactile veiny vellum Goes edition of The True Grimoire sold out to our subscribers immediately (another fine reason to subscribe).

We still have the striking Death's Head edition in stock here


What sets this work apart from the strictly academic approach of Joseph Peterson's Grimorium Verum is that it is illuminated by the practical experience of being a working Necromancer. Jake has 37 years of continuous practice.

For those wanting to go deeper into their Goetic magic and having devoured The True Grimoire, Jake has an essay in Devoted explaining the importance of a devotional approach to Spirit work, something he touched upon in his dramatic speech at the Occulture Festival. Perhaps this is one of the most overlooked aspects of modern practice, and one of the master keys to success with the grimoires. Details of Devoted can be found here




Jake has also produced a series of pamphlets for Hadean Press, a suitably subversive format for the spreading of ideas.
Hadean Press also produce the British Journal of Thelema which is recommended for those looking for creative and heretical strands of Thelemic thought.
We are pleased to support this small independent press, another sign of a resurgence in the magical community.
They can be found lurking here





Above all we are delighted to see Jake Stratton-Kent getting the recognition he deserves for his masterful work in the grimoire tradition.

Much Love

True Grimoire Goes Edition


We are delighted to have the Goes Edition of The True Grimoire back from our binders and they are all signed and on their way to their new homes.

The quarter binding in veiny vellum ensures that each book is unique.
It is a delectable talismanic volume which will be treasured and worked with.

The Death's Head edition is still in stock and causing quite a stir.

Jake Stratton-Kent is already deep into the second volume of the Encyclopaedia Goetica which we will be publishing in due course.

Occulture



We would like to thank those who attended the Occulture Festival in London.

It is vital that the magickal community has the opportunity to meet face to face.
There are few opportunities to find so many magicians in one place who are willing to share the results of their hard won work.
Scarlet Imprint put all of our support behind these real world events.

Jake Stratton-Kent gave a powerful account of his work with the Grimorium Verum.
Dave Evans debunked the Amado Crowley myths.
Stephen Skinner explained a little more of his experience with grimoires, which we found invaluable.
We were able to begin to put forward the practice we are doing with Babalon and the Beast, which will eventually find it's way into print in Seven Heads/Seven Veils.
There is so much more to come.

It is our wish that Occulture, and the other magickal festivals live up to their potential.
To that end we will also be attending the Equinox Festival in London and the Esoteric Book Conference in Seattle.

This is only the beginning.
