William Russell, was a prominent Irish Thesophist, socialist and nationalist.
Whilst his pacifism precluded active service he designed the Starry Plough flag
raised in the heroic Easter Rising in Dublin 1916. The shocking brutality of
its suppression led, ultimately, to the creation of the Irsh Free State. In
this book he explores his mysticism, describing awareness of realms beyond the

The Practical Angel Magic of John Dee's Enochian Tables, Tabula Bonorum
Angelorum Invocationes, Golden Hoard Press 2004 Hardcover 292pp. This work describes how
Dee wrote a manuscript of his personal invocations of Angels in Latin. They
show his sources and show how it pased through the hands of Elias Ashmole to a
group of prominent 17th Century magicians, some of who were powerful and
influential figure in their day. They developed Dee's work into a coherent
magical system. It presents the complete text, with variants of the previously
unpublished 17th Century manuscript titled the Nine Great Keys. This describes
an Angelic hierarchy and relates it to the Enochian system. It give practical
instructions for the summoning of these beings. The manuscript also presents
the theology and philosophy underlying the work. This book also describes the
summoning of the Four Demon Princes and their place in this system of magic
which is astonishingly comprehensive, including Angels, Demons and Elementals
etc. Whilst this work does appear to have been available to F.L.Gardiner and
also Wynn Westcott, and the Rev. Ayton
it was only very partially incorporated into the Golden Dawn and even
then may have been suppressed by the Golden Dawn chiefs. It did not find its
way Regardie's Golden Dawn. Thus Crowley was unaware of the complete system.

interesting to see as the book is dedicated to John Camden Hotten. He was a
Picadilly bookseller who was also publishing limited edition William Blakes and
a Druidic title. Decorated boards featuring red cross upon gold disc. The cross
and circle design on front board and spine is apt symbolism for the nature of
the book. Discreet bookbinder's label on rear pastedown. Rubicated title
page. Approx. 300 illustrations. An
important work. The subjects discussed range from ever burning lamps, fire
worship, sacred architecture, hermeticism, templarism etc. Whilst it has
virtually no reliable information about the Rosicrucians its perception of
sexual mysteries in religions and sacred architecture was immensely
influential. It was followed by numerous publications, often anonymous and
privately printed, devoted to phallicism which represent an often overlooked
British tantric tradition which, in turn, was very influential upon the sex
magick teachings of Crowley. Hinges have been reinforced. Spine darkened wear
