Bibliography of Occult Bibliographies

[tyaginator]

here's what I've got so far. please add to this if you know about
more. I'm scouring the WWW and am acquiring a few of them in print
so as to fill in the blanks on this information science supplement.
I may extend this more in the link-compilation realm, but prefer
to let dmoz.org/ or some other checker-source comb them out. upon
occasion I'll repost this or establish a firm URL for it at LM.

Hoping i am not overlooking the obvious here but i did not see the Crowley
bibliography listed. I don't have a publishing history for it and i only
recall seeing it once in Shambala book store many years ago, it might even be
a vanity press or self published local text. I did not purchase it at the
time as i was already so very familiar with the corpus of Crowley that i did
not feel like spending the money on it when i could spend it on other actual
books, iirc i bought the collected works vols. 1 - 3 instead, but i did make
a few notes from it at the time (since lost) it would be nice to have a
listing, especially of the more obscure poetry. As far as i know except for
a couple of examples none of the "un - published" stuff he left such masses
of has ever been gone through and gathered into a workable format. But then
im surprised that the Frieda Harris pictures have never been published, at
least in book form. Some of the stuff Crowley rejected was, to my mind,
better than what he selected.

OT-- i wrote another post asking about the mitapxviii.txt URL and never got
an answer from you. Unless i have got it copied incorrectly its not working
any more. NIce to see you posting again, i wondered why the sudden lack of
postings from you.

abe.com : great source of used books, do a search for Crowley and see
the rare book market writ in small

amazon of course is also a great source for university press items and
other more and less well circulated texts. amazon also searches pretty
well on music items, not just books. i know this alt.magick crowd is
inclined to musical intelligence.

Yale has quite a bit of the Crowley works, at least if you go by the
cites given in editorial notes. there are roughly eleven main libraries/
collections mentioned in liber aba 2000. This collection is prolly
different than one mentioned in liber aba ed. notes, but there is a
collection prolly next door which hold a collection referred to in liber
aba.

After Yale, there is also the collections at Harry Ransom (Utexas at
Austin), and a few other cites that are depended upon throughout the
majority of liber aba's editorial opus/ apparatus. I'm figuring if these
universities bother to keep this magick stuff, what /other/ related
stuff do they also prolly have access to?

anyway, these ed. notes are not to be missed! forget about Crowley, the
Beast, and his magick. these are great pointers for unallied mystics and
free magicians!

Liber ABA should indeed have a good biblio, but it isn't a biblio itself,
and I'm not aware that its bibliography is online anywhere. the closest
I can recall is the booklist from "One Star in Sight" or the Crowley
Cross-Index that I mentioned previously. most sources online that I've
seen on Thelemic works are set in the form of booklists, without detail.

I think I should also add the following source for skeptical materials:

no but the references and other materials are ample enough indications

well, since the equinox volumes were called "the encyclopeadia of

helpful. if not, i apologize. of course 777 is claimed to be
encyclopaedic, so there is that too.

actually, i don't know about Yale -but the Harry Ransom Library
(UTexas) has an intensely good site, with a good entrie on AC. These
collections have to hold similarly good occult biblios.

correction: it's not a bibliography, but a "Further Reading"
section. it includes 7 titles in 'GENERAL' section, 3 of which
were known to me previously, and 2 were non-English, the remaining
2 being particularly

The Magic Makers: Magic and Sorcery Through the Ages
David Carroll, New York: Arbor House, 1974.

and 'Some Medieval Conceptions of Magic', by Lynn Thorndike, A.M.
in *The Monist*, Number 25, (1915), pp 107-39.

I plan to obtain the first. Thorndike's "The Place of Magic
in the Intellectual History of Europe" AMS, 1967, 1905 text is
classic for his period. background sociology and anthropology,
very down to earth, skeptical.

ok, I'll look....

I found this:

ISBN: [does it have one?]

One of the original works compiling
Crowley's writings. [666]

==============================================================
ps
those I'd known previously included Richard Cavendish's
"A History of Magic" (Taplinger, 1977), and Frances King's
"Magic: The Western Tradition (Thames & Hudson, 1975),
both of them a surprise.

Thorndike's 8 volume masterpiece constitutes the remaining
volume in his GENERAL section. they've reprinted that recently.

thanks!!! I doubt that it is, proprietary to the order or something.

i followed up and started marking up my new Equinox volumes (IV:1 and
IV:2 Weiser 1996, 1998), only the editorial sections. most of the ed.
notes in the two newer Equinox volumes repeats, or otherwise enlarges
upon similar points as the many of the same libraries, collections,
authors, etc. as the Liber ABA big blue brick (2000) mentioned.

one interesting variant i found right away, however, in the two newer
equinoxes: altare and cvbicvlvm at occcidente in grimorrivm
sanctissimvm's beginning.

# ooh, sounds like a good wun.
correction: it's not a bibliography, but a "Further Reading"
section. it includes 7 titles in 'GENERAL' section, 3 of which
were known to me previously, and 2 were non-English, the remaining
2 being particularly
The Magic Makers: Magic and Sorcery Through the Ages
David Carroll, New York: Arbor House, 1974.
and 'Some Medieval Conceptions of Magic', by Lynn Thorndike, A.M.
in *The Monist*, Number 25, (1915), pp 107-39.
I plan to obtain the first. Thorndike's "The Place of Magic
in the Intellectual History of Europe" AMS, 1967, 1905 text is
classic for his period. background sociology and anthropology,
very down to earth, skeptical.

Thanks for the Thorndike ref. There are a lot of holes in my education.
Too much reading, not enough time. :)

Yup, this one also gets mentioned. I haven't seen it, though i am sure
it clears up some technical liber numbering confusions and whatnot.

redflame is the other oto-allied source i like for most of my
'encyclopeadia of initiation' or related questions.

ps
those I'd known previously included Richard Cavendish's
"A History of Magic" (Taplinger, 1977), and Frances King's
"Magic: The Western Tradition (Thames & Hudson, 1975),
both of them a surprise.
Thorndike's 8 volume masterpiece constitutes the remaining
volume in his GENERAL section. they've reprinted that recently.

The site's still up and planned to continue, but that URL is being
phased out. All you will find there now is a link to the proper site
at:

http://www.billheidrick.com

The Crowley index link to back issues of the Thelema Lodge Calendar on
that page accesses over 200 Crowley items, mainly rare or hard to
find articles and letters. Most of these are not directly Magick or
Thelema related, but quite a few are. All told, there are 19 megs of
material on the site, with the Crowley material in the minority. The
bulk of it is back issues of the Thelema Lodge Calendar, two new
issues of the Thelema Community Calendar (which replaces the TLC) and
a few megs of my own stuff.

am collecting more dates, places, titles, and whatnot.

corrections, additions, suggestions welcome

there iz a fairly short list of institutions, private collectors, and
whatnot that keep popping up in my searches, will post these too as soon
as iz proper, along with the other interesting, related finds. will
follow mla or some system later if needed, but for now, it is fast and
loose. id est, will neaten up all this in a more tabular format if and
when i get to it...

attacking this fairly methodically, relying on the editor's
introductions, references, principal editions, &c. in various modern
editions, some material in Confessions, and most prominently, the work
already done by HBeta, redflame and other many more or less well-known
persons/ sources.

BTW, don't actually /own/ any old version of any of these books
(thirtie-three and poor), but the recent work done here really doesn't
make this too important, only mentioned in case someone hits me up for
somethihg rare: I don't have anything, man! Leave me alone. <g>

Magick Without Tears letter on <<Prophecy>> is a not bad starting point/
rallying point to these weird windlestraws.

1. the cover is durable
the color advertised is well represented on the web, this is the color
of the hardcover
she is bright orange-red spangled with _gold_ and pure white
the cover materials is slick, pliant, porous and opaque
what is it? it is a bizarre clothbound volume (similar to the third of
volume three of the private Thelema 1909- coloured similarly?)
yes, you have other version of Liber AL, but this one takes the cake

the gold is shiny and turns black in the right ambient light, raised
the white is matte and stands nicely out from the brilliant orange-red
background, like shiny dancing bones

the durable cover a deep red- this red is probably what makes it QP not
ou clothbound?
It looks and feels like a hardback or clothbound to me. I suppose
there's no one to say that some quality paperback masquerade as hardback
or clothbound - as far as i can tell it is a clothbound
hard cover the way i normally define clothbound or hardback

whatever. which i don't care, just noting. It may be classified as
'quality paperback' but she is hard and durable, not flimsy. this is
another 'brick' from the O.T.O.

i am still hoping volume IV no. (3) will still hit the shelves sometime
soon.

Post by tyaginator
2. the pages are sturdy, and not cheap

IOW, white, no tacky gold edges
too expensive to do this feature decently (e.g. usd$100 for Dali deck
which is similarly outfitted with gold edges)

thick paper: i.e. for the serious collector in you, not for casual
introduction unless you have money to burn

Every page is too thick, like you were going to cut animal hides on it,

the pages are seriously nice
the facs. pages are also especially clear for those accustommed to

of greyscale, red bright scarlet, black, white

go buy

since i've never bothered to buy a silly concordance, i keep forgetting
when book supposedly saw print etc.
voila, problem <largely?> solved with references
the editorial note further details the design and logik of the >edition

executive summary to some of the editorial: this edition is a
combination of two printings:
1926 Tunis and
1938 London

a) focus on the MS i.e. materials drawn from Tunis 1926 version
b) corrected reprint, last executed by WTSmith & approved by Author/

diplomatic origins:

throne, was June 28, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria and heir
to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was

later:

Much of the fallen Chancellor's work was undone in the following
decades, as Wilhelm failed to renew the arrangement with Russia,
presenting republican France with the opportunity to conclude (1891-94)
a full alliance with the Russian Empire. Worse was to follow, as Wilhelm
undertook (1897-1900) the creation of a German navy capable of
threatening Britain's century-old naval mastery, prompting the Anglo-French
1904 of Entente Cordiale

and its expansion (1907) to include Russia.

i hope all our students know about Entente Cordiale

invaded Poland. However Japan had invaded China in 1937, and this is
sometimes considered to be the real start of the war.

...
exact details impossible to determine as far as i can tell, but
make no mistake, conscious fabrication or no, this is one of the
/entente cordiale/ dates. else, i suppose it depends on your
thelemicicity er
sumthin. you make your own call. id est, there is not universal
agreement that AC recieved the book on the dates he claimed. Certainly,
it seems he penned it very close to this same date he claims, as I've
seen no compelling evidence to suggest otherwise, and all the evidence
in the world to think it likely that if it wasn't al-Cahira April 1904,
it was a timeplacefix not too far away.

in my humble opinion, the design does the text justice: i am putting my
17$ where me mouth is, twice at least
re: the contents and organization of texts: i liked the fact that the
/introduction/ [thee five part manifesto declaration] is included

goofs (such as printer gremlin variety) yet

of ankh af na khonsu (fl. ca. 26th dynasty)? for seventeen measlie
bucks? the symbolic gesture of /buying/ this strange volume (let alone
owning or buring a copy) iz worth at least this much

no real criteria for now except loose catagories like:
'i like this book' or
'this book is Class A, that book is Class B, &c.'
i will note however, that /chronology/ is foremost among my concerns,
and I have heard others echo this a few times on usenet and elsewhere
(along the lines of: "i'd really like to trace the development of AC's
thought, does anyone have a chronological listing of book swritten by
the Beast 666..." &c.). So I will either generally follow one of a few
orders:

a) intellectual development (e.g. focus on Liber AL publications and
tracing a tentative trajectory)
b) chronology
c) class a, b, c, d, e, &c.

other possible suggestions on sequences are welcome.

OK. I might hit you up and ask you to post it on your site. Therefore,
