    About this ebook

    Master of modern occultism, Lon Milo DuQuette, (author of Enochian Vision Magick and The Magick of Aleister Crowley) introduces the newest Weiser Books Collection—The Magical Antiquarian Curiosity Shoppe. Culled from material long unavailable to the general public, DuQuette curates this essential new digital library with the eye of a scholar and the insight of an initiate.

    Much has been written about the Divine Fool. It is the guileless Parsifal who gains the Sacred Lance and fulfills the Grail Quest; In the Tarot, it is THE FOOL who conceals and reveals the mysteries of Being. If being made to feel like a fool is a prerequisite to enlightenment then perhaps you should waste no time filling out your application to The Grand and Noble Order of Button Busters.

      My Sweet Little Turtle Dove:

      Oh! what people did to amuse themselves before Television!

      Fraternal organizations supplied a much-need diversion from the grim realities of 19th century life. Most of the larger orders (i.e., the Freemasons, Odd Fellows, Red Men, the Grange) paid respectful homage to the traditions of the ancient mysteries, and drew simple and profound moral and spiritual lessons from metaphors of architecture, agriculture, husbandry, or the hunt. It is perhaps inevitable, human nature being what it is, that initiation rituals based on such serious subjects would eventually become old; especially to the members who of necessity were required to work them week after week, month after month, year after year. Rather than succumbing
