    About this ebook

    pMaster of modern occultism, Lon Milo DuQuette, (author of iEnochian Vision Magick/i and iThe Magick of Aleister Crowley/i) introduces the newest Weiser Books Collection – IThe Magical Antiquarian Curiosity Shoppe/I. 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./ppIt has been argued that the Egyptian Book of the Dead established the ultimate format for initiation – that initiatory programs of the great mystery schools of Greece, and Rome and the modern orders of Freemasonry all owe their existence and essence to the ancient Egyptian initiates. In this little pamphlet you will discover how you and a few friends with far too much time on your hands can throw on horses heads, dress up like Zeus and enter into the mysteries of iTHE SONS OF OSIRIS/i./p

      “By Magicians, For Magicians…”

      In the 1970s when a fuse board kept blowing and all the lights went out, Amado Crowley – who dubiously said he was Aleister’s secret son (see FT414:32-37) – announced he would claim he’d done it, just as his ‘father’ had, it is said, caused the books

      Lives Of The Great Occultists

      Sep 10, 2020

      Personally, I blame that Aleister Crowley. If my memory serves me well (which, these days, it seldom does), Hunt Emerson and I more or less drifted into creating ‘Lives of the Great Occultists’ after I told him a couple of my favourite yarns about th

      Introduction

      It is the object of this ritual to burlesque to some extent, these great mysteries, thereby producing amusements where, in ancient times, awe was the result of the initiations.

      A Side Degree for Secret Societies

      America’s passion for fraternal organizations has waned dramatically from the heyday century that began in the early 1800s and grew unabated through the First World War. Freemasonry, the unchallenged king of all fraternities, continued to grow through the 1950s and remains vibrant, but the myriad smaller and lesser known organizations would become all but extinct by the time Eisenhower became president.

      For the better part of 200 years, however, membership in a fraternal organization was for the majority of adult men a part of the American experience. Freedom of speech and of association in the young republic made membership in such private institutions an almost a patriotic duty. It has been estimated that in 1900 a full one half of the male population of the U.S.
