'By the Collar of the Jackal and the bone that gnaws, embrace your bravery. For the Mother has
smelled you and she is coming. Stand at the ready, for the Jackal-headed god runs ahead of Her and he
brings the bone, the little secret bone, in his jaws and the time of testing is at hand. Place your fear in my
waters; I will drink it as wine and be drunk. Take the bone you are offered and close your eyes . . .'

A Gathering of Masks

Robert Fitzgerald • 144 pages

Aleister Crowley's obscure Liber 231 remains one of his most enigmatic received magical texts, and one whose genesis directly concerns the workings of astral magic and trance-mediumship. A Gathering of Masks is the summation of direct magical workings with the Genii of the Domes, the spirits governing the revealed mystery of Liber 231, and serving as the wards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. Fulfilled by the author over a period of a decade, the twenty-two evocations of the Genii of the Domes reveal a patterning of power and gnosis heretofore little-explored in the practice of the Art Magical.

The book commences with the author's Introduction, entitled "By Seal and Sphere: A Treatise on Astral Magic". The heart of the work is comprised of twenty-two oracles, each of which is accompanied by a commentary and a unique Queen Scale sigil derived from the Work. The book also includes several illustrations by artist-author Barry William Hale of Fulgur Limited. Of interest to scholars of Thelema and practitioners of ceremonial magic, Gathering stands as an outré magical record of the Divinatory Art.

The book is 128 pages, octavo format, with three full-page illustrations and 22 magical diagrams. It was published in two editions:

Standard hardcover cloth with letterpress dust jacket, limited to four hundred sixty-two copies

Deluxe full hand-grained goat with marbled papers and slipcase, limited to forty-four copies

This title has now SOLD OUT.

In early 2012, an 'X-Series' hardcover of the title was released in full maize cloth, without dust jacket, bound from the remaining text blocks of the book. This version is also SOLD OUT.
