The Spirit of Magic

`…..I held a new sword in one hand, and in the other the ritual. I kindled two fires…and began reading the evocations of the ritual in a voice at first low, then rising by degrees…and as the flame again burst up, I beheld distinctly before the altar the figure of a man of more than normal size, which dissolved and vanished away…'

(Levi: `Dogme et Ritual de la Haute Magie')

Eliphas Levi (Alphonse Louis Constant) is famous for his exquisitely written works on the history and practice of High Magic. In the middle of his career, in July 1854, he was invited to London to perform a magical evocation of a phantom, that of Apollonius of Tyana the ancient Greek magician and philosopher.

Given as a lecture at the Hell Fire Club, this is an account of the legendary Apollonius and the nature and origin of the obscure ritual used by Levi over three weeks isolated study, prayers and intense fasting.

First edition limited to:

36 copies bound in quarter black goatskin with emerald cloth, scarlet title label with Eliphas Levis pentagram, scarlet endpapers.

Notes:
Come along, have a picnic and meet those of like mind. It's a fun day of laughter, chatting and meeting new people.

The park is beautiful, it's next to the lake with a playground for the kids and toilet facilities including a disabled toilet.

Coffee and tea are available (gold coin donation appreciated). Bring along a picnic lunch or if you wish to cook up a feast use the BBQ facilities. But if cooking is not on your agenda, there are shops within walking distance.

Just look out for the colourful marquee and banner. Even if it's raining, Pagans in the Park is still on, we'll be sitting under the large undercover area at the front of the park.

We have a "Topic of Discussion" for each of these gatherings. These are informal "talks" that start at 1pm and, while we may begin the conversation, we look forward to hearing everyone's opinions and takes on the topics – just bring an open mind!!!
