About This Item
C3b: SAMUEL WEISER. Very Good. 1969. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Samuel Weiser, New York. 1969. 149 pgs. One of a limited edition of 750 copies. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Charles Stansfeld Jones (18861950) was deeply immersed in occult matters from an early age. He joined Aleisters Crowleys Mystical Order AA (Astrum Argentum) at 23, and was acknowledged by the Great Beast as his magical child. Jones took the title Achad (Unity) , and it was as Frater Achad that he published most of his most famous occult studies, including the ground-breaking Q. B. L. , The Brides Reception. This work is a masterpiece, an occult investigation into the profundities of Qabalah, its arcane symbolism, and links to other esoteric systems such as the Tarot. But it is more than this - it is a book that offers both novice and adept alike a remarkably clear and understandable exposition of this otherwise recondite, confusing, and seemingly contradictory worldview. As The Occult Review stated on the books publication in 1922 we can only advise those who are able to do so to study Frater Achads essay. Their industry will be well repaid. This is a must-read for all students of the mystic lore. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
