SSOTBME Revised - an essay on magic Paperback – April 1 2002

Purchase options and add-ons.

SSOTBME was originally commissioned by Christopher McIntosh (author of Eliphas levi and the French Occult Revival and other works on Hermetic and Masonic history) as an essay for a semi-academic collection of essays on comparative religion. That project never happened, but the material was expanded into a small book published by the author in 1974. The book was an immediate success with a new wave of practicing magicians in the UK, including Pete Carroll, Ray Sherwin and other members of what was to become the Chaos Magic movement. Further editions were printed including a German, two Polish and a US edition. This new edition, published in 2002, is considerably revised, expanded and brought right up to date

There's much food for thought here, whether you're just starting in on magic or consider yourself an old hand. If you've got friends, lovers, bosses, etc. wondering what all this weird stuff is about and you want to steer them towards an intelligent intro to magic - look no further than S.S.O.T.B.M.E..

About the author

Ramsey dukes.

Lionel Snell is among the founding names in chaos magic – though better known as Ramsey Dukes. In 1970 Gerald Yorke (keeper of the Crowley archive) introduced him to the writings of Austin Osman Spare and he wrote "Spare Parts" - an introductory article about Spare's system of magic – which was published in Agape 4 in 1973 together with a facsimile of Snell's copy of "The Anathema of Zos". This, together with his first self-published books "SSOTBME - an essay on magic" and "Thundersqueak" played a seminal role in the nascent Chaos current. He is also known for his contribution to cyber magic, having already pioneered the "information universe" concept twenty years before The Matrix.

While many magical writers begin by taking the reader to another world, a world of wonder, Snell's books begin the magic quest right here in everyday reality – where it is most needed.

Ramsey Dukes - SSOTBME Revised An Essay on Magic (copyrighted book, review only)

darkbooks.org began in early 2008 I am happy to donate my time to providing you this resource, I would also like to note, that, although I try, I do not always have enough time to deal with the site, including, unfortunately, I do not always have time to answer all letters, because I have to earn money for a living. If you can financially help me, it would free me from the worries of earning money for living, perhaps partially, but ideally completely, then all 100% of my time could be devoted to the site. Also I do pay monthly web server/files storage and hosting costs to keep this site on the air. Please consider making a donation to help me continue this activity and devote more time to it or at least offset the cost of paying for storage/hosting. Even a small contribution helps!
