RED FLAME, A Thelemic Research Journal - Issues No.10 & 11
Jane Wolfe, Her Life with Aleister Crowley by Phyllis Seckler.
CA: Berkeley, Corneliuses, First Printing 2003, 6x9 paperback. These issues detail her childhood, her time spent at Agape Lodge, Cefalu and up to her death. The Appendix titled ‘Jane Wolfe in Films’ details her acting career while listing every movie she ever appeared in with rare photos. In fact, there are massive rare photos throughout both volumes. For individuals associated with Grady McMurtry’s AA lineage these books contain priceless historical data & if you loved Grady’s bio, you’ll love these too! They have long been out-of-print, are very rare and like other RFs, they’ll probably never be reprinted. MINT condition.
I’m selling both volumes for $75.00.

AMPHORA
by Anonymous (Aleister Crowley)
London: First Impression series No.21, 1993, 5 x 7 ½ Hardback, black cover 82 pgs. This is a reprint of the of a book which is probably Crowley's most famous practical joke. In 1908 Crowley anonymously submitted the text of this book of devotional verse to the well-known Catholic publishers Burnes and Oates Somehow the publishers managed to overlook the dubious theology and strong lesbian undertones. They published it under the title Amphora. At around the the same time Crowley published his own private edition with an obscene epilogue. Somehow Burnes and Oates found out who the author was, and apparently withdrew the edition after only a small number of copies have been bound, giving (or perhaps selling) the unsold sheets to Crowley. Crowley had a new title page printed, and reissued the book as 'Hail Mary'
under his Equinox imprint. This edition reprints Crowley's original handwritten notes in his copy of the book. It original sold new for $32.00; this copy is Mint; $40.00
Crowley's HYMN TO PAN - First Edition Argus Bookshop; First Edition, a single sheet 9 x 12 folded buff colored paper, folded once to make four pages. The first page has a floral decorative device and the title etc., the second and third pages contain the text of Crowley's poem The Hymn to Pan, and the fourth page the limitation statement “Of this broadside one thousand copies were printed for the Argus Book Shop by the Renshaw Press.” This poem was originally written in Moscow around 1913. Crowley intended to publish it in his ill-fated The Giant's Thumb but instead it did not go to print until 1917 when it appeared in The Equinox Volume III No.1 (The Blue Equinox). Later that year it had this, its first separate publication, in an edition of 1000 copies by Ben Abramson (1883-1968), proprietor of the Argus Bookshop. Due to its ephemeral nature this considered one of the most scarce early Crowley pieces. ... Back cover has Achad Oasher 583 signed in tiny letters with the stamp from the Ordo Templi Orientis Lodge known as Brocken Mountain; showing the library of its origin. It is in fair condition; obviously repairs by tape along spine after Grady McMurtry accidently ripped it while telling a story about it. ... just $350.00

ALEISTER CROWLEY AND THE OUIJA BOARD by J. Edward Cornelius
CA: Feral House Publishers, PB, 2005, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 165 pgs. Time-waster, party game, fake divination, staple of urban myths, horror movie trope, conjurer of the dead, devil's gateway -- these terms indicate the extraordinary variety of opinions inspired by the ever-controversial Ouija Board. Part fascinating history and part practical manual, this engaging guide takes the position that the Ouija Board is indeed as powerful as its detractors claim. Author J. Edward Cornelius shows how anyone armed with the proper knowledge can use the Ouija to communicate with invisible beings and other worlds. Drawing on the writings of Aleister Crowley, aka the ‘Great Beast,’ and other magicians who advocated the Ouija's use as an occult tool, Cornelius examines the long history of "talking boards" and the power of the planchette, an ancient symbol believed to act as an invisible doorway.
