The Testament of Solomon comprises a family of texts, some dating to the fourth century CE or earlier, relating an extra-Biblical account of King Solomon's divinely-conferred power to constrain the demons who plague the human race. It is also, implicitly, a handbook for those bold or foolhardy enough to follow his example in the demonological sciences.Translated here for the first time from fifteenth-century Byzantine Greek manuscripts, one such text of this secret Solomonic history has finally been made available in English. Along with the unique catalogue of spirit names, sigils, dominions, and offices found in this text - among which readers will discover some genuinely surprising characters - this edition also includes an expository introduction and annotations by the translator which situate the text within its historical milieu, manuscript tradition, and a lineage of magical and demonological theory reaching back to the Greek Magical Papyri. This scholarly analysis, no less than the evidence of the manuscripts themselves, emphasizes that the Testament in all of its forms was first and foremost a work of practical magic.

In 22 PATHS OF INPERFECTION, Matt Laws offers insights from over twenty years of working with the tarot on an ongoing journey of self-discovery. This is an honest and raw look at the twenty-two major arcana and how they relate to human concerns such as suffering, depression, and the spark that leads us to strange places in life. Here is a guide for traversing the corridors of doubt, depression, and elation. By following the paths through the Tree of Life, and putting the cards into a distinctly human perspective, this little book extends a helping hand to anyone seeking passage through the murky waters of their psyche and up into the wide sky beyond.
