CLAVIS ARCANA MAGICA - Frederick Hockley, 1st & Ltd Ed, 2012

Description: CLAVIS ARCANA MAGICA Book Details + Condition: Teitan Press (York Beach, Maine). First Edition, 2012. Edition limited to 650 numbered copies, of which this is #486. Hardcover. Small Quarto. 84 pages. Bound in black cloth, with a gilt design to the front cover, and gilt lettering to spine. Black "coffin silk" endpapers. Color frontispiece. This first edition comprises an Introduction by Alan Thorogood, followed by a typeset transcription of the text of the manuscript, with explanatory footnotes and a facsimile of the original Hockley manuscript. It recreates the full text of a previously-unpublished manuscript by Frederick Hockley (1809-1885), occultist and Freemason, whose interests included scrying, ritual magic, alchemy and spiritualism. Hockley later joined the Societas Rosicruciana and other esoteric fraternities, and his work was later used by various members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The "Clavis Arcana Magica" is an unusual text for the author, as it is concerned with what some consider "black magic." It gives instruction for magical workings, as channelled by Hockley’s seer Emma. In near-new condition - book has not been read, and has been on a shelf since original purchase.
