Sourceworks of Ceremonial Magic Volume 1.

The authors have discovered what happened to one of John Dee’s most important manuscripts, his book of personal angelic invocations which kept in Latin, and how it was preserved and developed by 17th century magicians into a full working magical system. Only a small part of this material reached the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the 1880s. Even this was then suppressed by the chiefs of the Order, and it did not appear in Israel Regardie’s monumental work on the Order rituals.

They have also traced how the classical techniques of invocation and evocation drawn from late mediaeval grimoires, were passed through John Dee’s magic, via Elias Ashmole, to the aristocratic angel magicians of the 17th century, including some of the most powerful and influential figures in England.

In the 20th century many fanciful constructions were added to Golden Dawn Enochian. Even writers such as Aleister Crowley were seemingly all unaware of the completely developed system that already existed, and which is here published in full for the first time.

Dr. Stephen Skinner began his career as a geography lecturer at what is now the University of Technology in Sydney. He wrote, with Francis King, the classic Techniques of High Magic in 1976, and later The Oracle of Geomancy and Terrestrial Astrology: Divinatory Geomancy, which is now the standard work on Western divinatory geomancy. He edited Aleister Crowley's Magical Diaries and Astrology. Highly illustrated books on Nostradamus and Millennium Prophecies followed from his prolific pen. 

Stephen was responsible for originally stimulating interest in John Dee and Enochian magic by first re-publishing Meric Casaubon’s True and Faithful Relation... in 1973 and subsequently publishing a fully corrected edition as Dr John Dee’s Spiritual Diaries. 

He also produced two substantial reference books: The Complete Magician's Tables and Guide to the Feng Shui Compass. More recently he published Techniques of Graeco-Egyptian Magic and Techniques of Solomonic Magic. 

He is also the author of more than a dozen books on feng shui, including the first one in English in the 20th century. In all he has written more than 46 books, translated into more than twenty different languages. 

David Rankine is the author of a number of books exploring the magical practices of the Western Mystery Tradition, including Wicca: Magical Beginnings, Becoming Magick, Climbing the Tree of Life, Heka: The Practices of Ancient Egyptian Ritual & Magic and Practical Planetary Magick. He has been studying magic since the 1970s.

David has also written prolifically for magazines, with many hundreds of articles and essays on esoteric subjects printed in a variety of international magazines. Since 2003 David has been working with Stephen Skinner on the Source Works of Ceremonial Magic series. He is the author of 27 books on magic, and currently lives in Glastonbury with his partner, where he researches and writes about magic and the development of the Grimoire tradition.
