Liber Nigri Solis: An Aeonic Astrochymical Grimoire of the Black Sun May 1, 2009

Launch Party with Signing, hosted by Octavia Press
From 7pm. Launch is free, but strictly guest list only. Email or ring to be added.

Octavia Press and Treadwell's invite you to this launch party in the wake of Walpurgisnacht. The volume is a compilation of the work of Arcanum Ordo Nigri Solis and Ordo Hermeticum Sinistrum. Editor is Victor Voronov, all contributors anonymous. The descrption is thus: 'Presenting the mythic imagery of the Black Sun along with its alchemical and astrological aspects and significances, this grimoire includes a concise though multi-faceted system of esoteric correspondences suitable for work with the Black Sun. In addition, it suggests magical techniques associated with Eighteen Keys opening the Nine Infernal Gates and the Nine Gates of Radiant Darkness leading to the vision of the Black Sun, and the Twelve Crooked Paths that cross their Nine Thresholds. Further, the text describes magical relev ance of the twelve rays of the Black Sun, and other significant concepts such as the Fivefold Unmanifest or the Grand Chymical Conjunction of the arcane Black Suns that unveils the fiery gates of the Inverse Opus. It offers self-initiatory workings, rites, and operations of sinister alchemy.'
