    About this ebook

    The Mirror of Elicona is a grimoire in the form of magical biography: a personal reflection on a series of encounters with a spirit who was it seems, up until the close of the early modern period, perhaps frequently called upon by the magicians and cunning folk of the British Isles. The purpose of this Mirror is not only to make a small contribution to the development and appreciation of what might be called ‘proto-Goetic’ magic, but also to share something of the author’s own magical practice, which in the last decade has moved significantly away from ritualism to a more subtle appreciation and engagement with the spiritual hierarchies around us.

    Part of the Guides to the Underworld series by Hadean Press.

      In the 1970s when a fuse board kept blowing and all the lights went out, Amado Crowley – who dubiously said he was Aleister’s secret son (see FT414:32-37) – announced he would claim he’d done it, just as his ‘father’ had, it is said, caused the books
