It may very well be that, politically and medically, we have recently experienced some of the darkest months of the current age… and the winter season being upon us, we often seek to rekindle the Clear Light during this time of the year. Many ancient traditions allude to such practices, visible signs found even today among neopagan revivals of “Imbolc” (Imbolg) or “Candlemas” and even “Groundhog’s Day” as we approach February Eve.

Among many efforts to rekindle this Magical Light during the Dark Months, as we begin the 2021 year, the Joshua Free Imprint has scheduled two amazing editions for release on February 19, that are sure to keep your flames burning as we confront the new challenges of the year and begin new phases of work in Mardukite Zuism and Metahuman Systemology toward creating the ultimate post-modern, post-human, future we want right here on Earth!

Two New Hardcover Editions Coming Soon! On February 19, 2021…
–THE WITCH’S HANDBOOK: A COMPLETE GRIMOIRE OF WITCHCRAFT (Unpublished 1998 Manuscripts) by Joshua Free writing as Merlyn Stone, edited and introduced by Rowen Gardner.
–NOVEM PORTIS: NECRONOMICON REVELATIONS AND NINE GATES OF THE KINGDOM OF SHADOWS (Mardukite Liber-R9) by Joshua Free, foreword by Rowen Gardner.

Once intended a sequel to “The Sorcerer’s Handbook” by Joshua Free while writing as “Merlyn Stone” in the 1990’s, his “notebooks” composing the historically legendary “1998 Book of Shadows”-and eventually “The Witch’s Handbook”-were only released privately to members of his own Coven operating in Colorado, and other groups he networked with, during a peak period of development for the modern “New Age.”

Among the many facets explored within these pages, you will also encounter the complete structure of the original century-old “Book of Shadows,” illuminated for the first time with a new revolutionary never before published presentation of concise descriptions and references that uncover influential behind-the-scenes sources of many contemporary Wiccan and traditionalist Witchcraft movements. Rites of Initiation, Consecration Rituals, Tools, Herbs, Sabbats, Ceremonies, Ritual Magic, Spellcraft… It’s all here!

From the Key of Solomon, to the Rites of the Golden Dawn and OTO, to the Aradian Gospel of Witches, to the relatively modern innovation of a “Neopagan Eightfold Year” by three men: a Druid (Ross Nichols), a Magician (Aleister Crowley) and a Witch (Gerald Gardner); an underlying story unfolds beneath and back of the 20th Century Witchcraft revival and no stone or pentacle is left unturned in this effective, yet candid, complete practical guide to the true “Arts of Witchcraft.”

Long-standing and returning fans will celebrate the release of The Witch’s Handbook as the “missing link” of a once proposed “Merlyn Stone” trilogy from the 1990’s, which includes “The Sorcerer’s Handbook” and “The Druid’s Handbook”-both of which have been widely accepted in the underground “New Age” scene already. This special premiere edition is dedicated by the author to Fairuza Balk and, as a bonus, features Joshua Free’s tribute to “The Craft” movie, including his previously unpublished treatment of its practical witchcraft as “Nancy’s Book of Shadows.”

The original classic underground bestseller by Joshua Free returns to print, commemorating its 10th Anniversary with a special hardcover collector’s edition that is sure to become a prized addition to your personal esoteric library.

A refreshingly coherent revelation for our times, illuminating long-lost remnants of primordial spirituality, ancient Mesopotamian religion, Sumerian Anunnaki mythology and a hidden mystery tradition developed during a nearly-prehistoric Babylonian era of magic and Otherworldly encounters.

From original Anunnaki traditions to the origins of all worldly and metaphysical systems; from the Yezidic and Persian lore of the Ancient Near East to the past century of underground occult traditions inspired by Aleister Crowley and Kenneth Grant; from the archetypal themes present in the “Delomelanicon” to the experiences of the millions of people who have read, or even used, Simon’s Necronomicon… No cuneiform tablet is left unturned, no dark corner left undiscovered, in this amazing and concise guide to the forbidden knowledge lost thousands of years ago, and yet now covertly infused within the heart of all “magick,” “religion” and “spirituality” on the planet today.

In “Novem Portis: Necronomicon Revelations and Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows,“ world renown director of the “Mardukite Research Organization” and founder of “Mardukite Zuism” and the Systemology Society invites the Seeker on an incredible and practical occult journey into underground esoterica, unlike anything ever published before. Joshua Free candidly reveals how “spiritual beings” and “alien intelligences” have increasingly influenced the imaginations of “metaphysical” writers and “fantasy” artists, primordial “gods” seeking to have their stories told and knowledge of their existence reborn. And what’s more: the power and influence of this invisible hand appear to be behind all of the primary systems installed into human civilization, whether social or mystical, since the time of the ancient Sumerians.
