Arcana
By the Black Quill Element of the Temple of Set
First book by the Black Quill Element of the Temple of Set and the culmination of its Arcana project which contains fictional stories, prose, and inspired artwork influenced in some way by one of the cards of Major Arcana of the Tarot. Created for limited private distribution for Temple of Set members, the contributors were kind enough to make the few remaining copies available to the public. This special edition is limited to 22 copies, each numbered for one of the major arcana.
In order to accommodate the preference of some of the members who contributed to this work, we chose to use a non animal-based leather. Therefore this book is a quarter binding of black imitation leather made from a cotton base. Cover paper is a red and black French marble and endsheets are a black bulgra paper with laid lines. Binding is a beautiful modern cased-in flat back design with the title stamped onto the spine with a gold file and attached black satin ribbon bookmark.
Consecrated Little Book of Black Venus
Attributed to John Dee
Waning Moon Publications is pleased to announce the release of the first English translation of The Consecrated Little Book of Black Venus (also known as Tuba Veneris), translated by Teresa Burns and Nancy Turner and illustrated by Jeffrey S. Kupperman and DARLENE, with contributions by Vincent Bridges and Phil Legard. The text is attributed to Dr. John Dee but veers from his better-known Enochian work. It appears to be a traditional grimoire which instructs the magician in the proper preparations and tools needed to summon the six sprits ruled by Venus, but in fact may be a connection back to the benandanti witch cult and forward to Dee and Kelley’s angelic workings.
This translation was made primarily from the handwritten Latin text of London’s Warburg Institute MS. FBH 51 dated around 1600 CE, with other versions of the text referred to as needed. Both the English and Latin text are together. Also included in the book are several related articles to further elaborate on the significance of this work.
We are excited to be part of this significant contribution to occultism! This is the first publication in book form of an English translation of this little-known grimoire and we have gone to great lengths to use the best materials and bind each and every copy by hand, starting each batch on the day of Venus.
