Uncatalogued Arabic manuscript from West Africa — a fragmented. Loose leaves, varying paper sizes. Topics include mathematics, astrology, talismans, magic, divination, and treatises. I am looking for assistance with describing this manuscript, if interested, please DM me. Thanks
Just received my hardback copies of me and @drcummins.bsky.social's _The Black Raven_, and the folks at @hadeanpress.bsky.social are really taking the endpapers game to a new level.

More to come from both Erzebet and I in the future
I'm always pleased to help unearth a long-forgotten gem of operative sorcery, and I can only hope that the author of this 18th-century necromantic treasure-hunting text that I've translated is equally satisfied with our efforts.
This month we welcome Darren Francis, poet, musician, and author of, 'Laylah, the Life of Leila Waddell'.
This is Darren’s first non-fiction title, the first ever biography of the world-renowned violinist, consort of Aleister Crowley, and muse of the Book of Lies, Leila Waddell.
Link below
LAYLAH: THE LIFE OF LEILA WADDELL, the first and only biography of this iconic figure to be published.
Now available for pre-order from Hadean Press

It was a great interview :)
@sethanikeem.bsky.social & I discuss the nature of Curse and Binding through history, the application of language and rage, and how we can adapt historical methodologies into a modern practical approach which focuses on balancing the scales of justice, liberation and community

Let’s welcome Simone Baldacci to the podcast 😃 Simone is one of the many talented contributors to Hadean Press’ Conjure Codex series, and today we settle down to talk about his essay, 'Mother, Daimones and Goetia: Ecstasy and Civilisation.'
Fancy joining us as we gear up for some work with the Grimorium Verum?

Oh, I know your pain. My last two Am orders were absolute garbage.
The first video I made for Hadean Press was for Brian Johnson's pamphlet, 'Naming the Heavens: Orations from the Summa Sacre Magice'. With the release of the full translation of the SSM just around the corner, now has never been a better time to get your hands on this Guide!
