First published in 2006. From the Preface: THE BOOK OF CEREMONIAL MAGIC is by a distinguished author whom readers of books in the mystic arts have met before as the author of THE HOLY KABBALAH and THE PICTORIAL KEY To THE TAROT) among others. His present book first took the form of a work entitled THE BOOK OF BLACK MAGIC AND OF PACTS (London, 1898) and that first version has been reprinted many times in the United States, perhaps because of its somewhat sensational title. This book includes the key passages from the principal magical texts of the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. > INTRODUCTION, PART I The Literature of Ceremonial Magic CHAPTER I THE ANTIQUITY OF MAGICAL RITUALS CHAPTER II THE RITUALS OF TRANSCENDENTAL MAGIC CHAPTER III COMPOSITE RITUALS CHAPTER IV THE RITUALS O F BLACK MAGIC PART II The Complete Grimoire CHAPTER I THE PREPARATION OF THE OPERATOR CHAPTER II THE INITIAL RITES AND CEREMONIES CHAPTER III CONCERNING THE DESCENDING HIERARCHY CHAPTER IV THE MYSTERIES OFY
