The Last Stretch!!! We are now entering the final days of the Kickstarter campaign for A Ruby Bright As Fire: William Blake and the Esoteric Tradition by P.T. Mistlberger.

This is the moment for one last collective push.

Now would be the perfect time to help us spread the word one last time:

• Share the campaign
• Mention it to fellow readers, artists, poets, mystics, and collectors
• Post it in groups and communities
• Send it directly to anyone you feel would resonate with Blake and the esoteric tradition

Let’s finish strong. 💪

+ + +

A quick reminder:

The “LOS” Light Hardcover Edition and the Deluxe “LUVAH” Edition are exclusive to this Kickstarter campaign. Once the campaign ends and quantities are locked in, these editions will not return as standard offerings through our website or resellers.

Only the dark “URIZEN” Hardcover Edition and a very small number of “THARMAS” Artisanal Editions may remain afterward.

+ + +

Also, this is the last chance to grab The Dancing Sorcerer by P.T. Mistlberger as an add-on at its heavily reduced Kickstarter price.

+ + +

Behind the scenes, things are moving quickly. The first physical book prototypes are already on their way to us as we speak. Realistically, they may arrive only after the campaign has ended, but we fully intend to share photographs and impressions the moment they are in hand.

Additionally, artist Caroline Chernega has now begun work on two additional illustrations for the back covers of the Collector’s Editions, unlocked through the recently crushed stretch goal.

+ + +

And finally, a reminder that shipping and taxes are NOT charged during the campaign itself. These will only be collected later during the Pledge Manager phase, approximately 5–6 months from now, closer to fulfillment.

Thank you all, let us carry it as far as we can before the gates close! 🙏

Benisons,
~The Anathema Team

Since last week, many of you have been asking about the books appearing in the background of our recent photos—especially Qayin Redivivus Deluxe.

So yes… I did not acquire only one copy.

And here it is.

Qayin Redivivus – Corpus Philosophorum Artis Daemonicae by Gilberto de Lascariz , published by Sauroctonos Publishing , is one of the most ambitious contemporary works within the current of daemonic and Qayinic philosophy: a monumental and uncompromising text for serious students of the occult arts.

This is Deluxe Copy Nº IV.

The publisher’s edition is already sold out, which means this may very well be one of the last opportunities to obtain the book at a normal price before it inevitably resurfaces later as a collector’s item at twice the cost—or more.

Available now, while it lasts.

A new arrival worth your attention:

Via Onirica by Naamah Acharayim

We are pleased to present the latest addition from Sauroctonos Publishing, a work that continues their distinctive exploration of the dreamlike, the esoteric, and the liminal spaces of consciousness. As noted by the publisher, this title will also be the final one produced and shipped from Portugal—marking it, perhaps, as a quiet turning point in their body of work.

Via Onirica unfolds as a poetic and visionary journey through nocturnal landscapes, weaving together ritual, symbolism, and the deeper currents of the subconscious. It is a text that invites not only reading, but immersion—one that lingers and reveals itself gradually.

Now available through our shop: https://www.apepbooks.com/category/sauroctonos-publishing

Very sad news.

Peter J Carroll (1953-2026)

The Wizard has gone. With great sadness, we have to inform all that the celebrated occultural author, teacher, and innovator Peter J Carroll passed away unexpectedly in the early hours of Wednesday 22nd April 2026. He was a star whose books and ideas changed the lives of millions. He was instrumental in the birth of Chaos Magick, one the most significant new magical/philosophical streams of thought of our times. He is survived by a wife and two daughters. Pete will be cremated in a simple private ceremony for close friends and family. He leaves a great legacy which will be the subject of a longer eulogy and memorial in due course. An online memorial page will be available shortly

We (I mean, YOU) did it! In less than 24 hours (18 hours, to be precise), “A Ruby Bright as Fire” by P.T. Mistlberger is fully funded!!!

That is phenomenal. Truly. We couldn’t be happier.

We actually received the funding confirmation email last night while my wife and I were having dinner. We shared a moment of relief and gratitude… and then made the conscious choice to step away from the screen and enjoy a quieter, more peaceful evening.

This morning? We woke up to something even more incredible: the momentum is still building. Pledges continue to come in, and, to our great surprise, there is now only ONE Super Deluxe “LUVAH” Edition left.

What Comes Next:
If this pace continues, you can expect a few upgrades for all backers sooner rather than later.

We intentionally designed this campaign to be simpler and more focused. Anathema is, at its core, a very small operation; largely a one-person endeavor, with the invaluable support of my wife, along with trusted collaborators and contributors. Because of this, we chose not to lean heavily into complex stretch goals.

That said… we do have a few ideas in mind. ;-)

Let’s Keep It Going:
Now is the time to keep the momentum alive.
Share the campaign. Spread the word.
Tell those who love Blake.
Tell those who don’t yet know Blake.
Tell the poets, the artists, the mystics, the occultists, the seekers.
Tell your friends, and yes, even your neighbors, as they roll their eyes and think “there they go again with that mumbo-jumbo…”
Because this book matters.

And together, we can bring into the world something that will stand as a meaningful contribution to Blake’s legacy, and to future generations of esoteric readers and practitioners.

P.S. In the next update, we’ll address a few technical questions that have come up from backers. Stay tuned and again, our deepest gratitude. 🙂

For this week’s announcement, several notable titles arrive under the aegis of Editorial Manus Sinistra , each approaching the work from a different angle—structure, transformation, and direct experience.

At the center of this week’s arrivals stands the long-awaited deluxe edition of Draconian Initiations.
Issued in both cloth and leather slipcase, it marks a subtle departure from the publisher’s usual format—here presented in the leather slipcase, a less common variation within the Manus Sinistra catalogue.
Beyond its physical form, the work articulates the initiatory system of Dragon Rouge, offering a structured path through draconian and Qliphothic practice.
After allowing sufficient time to ensure that the publisher’s remaining copies would not be reclaimed, a substantial portion of the available stock has been secured, and both hardcover and softcover editions are now restocked in the shop.

Alongside it, Akhkharu: Vampyre Magick appears in two distinct forms—Snake Leather Red and Snake Leather Black—embodying a more elaborate approach to the book as object.
Here, the emphasis shifts from system to transformation: vampyric praxis is treated not as metaphor, but as a path of predation, self-deification, and energetic sovereignty.

Completing this triad, Astral Projection: The Psychonaut’s Manual returns in its second edition, turning toward direct experience.
Focused on out-of-body work and altered states, it provides a practical framework for those seeking to move beyond theory into exploration.

In addition to these arrivals, several long-unavailable Manus Sinistra titles have been secured again in limited quantities, including Qabalah, Qliphoth and Goetic Magic and the Draconian Trilogy, now available in softcover.

Some books simply refuse to wait.

I had every intention of sharing this over the weekend — as I usually do — but a few arrivals demand to be acknowledged the moment they cross the threshold. This is one of them.

Aperi Circulus Draco (BD8) by Peter Hamilton-Giles has just arrived — published by Atramentous Press, a house known for its uncompromising approach to both content and craftsmanship, situated firmly within the current of Western esoteric thought.

I am especially pleased (and, I admit, a little proud) to have secured a few copies of the Special Standard Limited Edition, which is already no longer available.

This is a book I have been waiting for — one that forms part of the initiatory Black Dragon series, engaging deeply with the Proklosis Ring and its operative framework.

Copies are now available through the shop: https://www.apepbooks.com/category/atramentous-press

Some arrivals are less about acquisition and more about recognition

We are pleased to announce that Sussex Coils and Loops by Paul Holman is now available in the shop.

Published by Scarlet Imprint, this work unfolds as a richly layered exploration of serpentine folklore, landscape ritual, and contemporary parafolkloric practice—tracing a living tradition across texts, sites, and time.

Alongside this new arrival, we have also restocked a selection of previously sold-out titles from Scarlet Imprint, now available again in limited quantities.
