Open Request The Master Key to Ancient Mystery: a Victorian Grimoire (SWCM - Sourceworks of Ceremonial Magic Vol. XV Series)

[Mohammed Salah]

This is a Victorian Grimoire which contains almost all of the magic current in that era without any reference to initiation or to the Egyptian gods, which were introduced 30 years later by the Golden Dawn.

I wonder what is the content of the book.

I wonder what is the content of the book.

It is nothing interesting, just a reproduction of some quite dubious compilation with MASSIVE amount of mistakes. It is mix of Picatrix, Agrippa, etc.

Actually, the more some book is being advertised, the less interesting it is. It is a bit sad to see somewhat aggressive advertisement in the annotation to this book from Stephen Skinner, because it doesn't deliver at all.

I will upload the compilation soon.

Sorry, I was rash to mark this request fulfilled. It will stay open until somebody comes up with the Skinner & Clark version.

Also, to make things worse, the book is in it's print version not the quality of former books, no cloth bad binding, etc.

Sorry for discussing the contents in a request thread, but I believe this is relevant here. This book isn't a transcription, it is literally just (blurry) pictures of the manuscript printed on a page. The introduction is super basic (6 pages, if you include images) and there are no annotations - a table of contents and a minimal 3 page long index is all you get. So, you're better off checking the MS scans directly, at least they're in high quality (see the other thread @HoldAll linked).
