The Book of Abramelin (Newly Revised and Expanded Edition)

Post#1 » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:04 pm

I am so excited because my new edition of The Book of Abramelin just came in and I picked it up.

It looks gorgeous it is a red hardcover book with silver text on the spine and it has pressed embossed into the front cover YHWH in Hebrew symbols, Very Beautiful book for being such a low price. Here is some more on it off the publishers website:

The Book of Abramelin (New and Expanded Edition)
This is the newly revised and expanded second edition of this modern magical classic.
Being a complete and modern translation from various extant manuscripts, including a previously unpublished fourth part.
by Abraham von Worms, Compiled and edited by Georg Dehn, Translated by Steven Guth, Foreword by Lon Milo DuQuette.

• An expanded and revised edition including new historical research and some thirty new magical recipes.
• The book has also been redesigned with almost 200 explanatory footnotes and a complete Index
• The only modern translation of this crucial magical sourcework.
• Includes the previously undiscovered and unpublished Part 2, a list of spells and rituals.
• Provides instruction on the practical application of magic, including the first recorded example of a technique for self-development and initiation.

This is a new and expanded second edition of The Book of Abramelin, a modern classic of Magic since it was first published in English by Ibis Press in 2006. This edition includes new material, copious footnotes and an extensive index.

It is the first modern translation of this critical magical work since S.L. Macgregor Mathers’s original translation over 100 years ago. Not only is the language updated, but Georg Dehn, the compiler and editor, has sourced his work from all extant manuscripts, whereas Mathers used just one. The result is a stunning new translation which has already set the occult world abuzz. It includes voluminous important material left out of Mathers’ work, including an entire Part 2 filled with magical recipes, important distinctions in the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel ritual, and complete word grids that had been left half-completed by Mathers.

About the Author
Abraham von Worms, long thought to be a pseudonymous figure, is nearly conclusively proved to be the well-known 14th century Jewish scholar, Rabbi Jacob ben Moses ha Levi Moellin, more commonly known as MaHaRIL. Some material attributed to him is still used in synagogues today. Georg Dehn is a life-long student of all things esoteric, which led him on the quest to not only translate The Book of Abramelin, but also to follow in the original seeker’s footsteps through the Middle East and eventually to the hermitage at Araki. He is the founder and publisher of Edition Araki, a German publishing company specializing in the occult. Dehn is the author of many works, Abramelin being the first to be translated into English. He lives in Leipzig, Germany.
