The Hermetic Hour

On Thursday July 21st the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review two new books in the Hermetic field: "The Emerald Tablet" by Martin Faulks from Faulks Books and " Liber Spirituum" compiled and edited by Adam Forrest from Azoth Press. The Emerald Tablet is only 84 pages, and follows upon Martin's first publication "The Universal Master Key" (2013) (reviewed by the Hermetic Hour on March 26th, 2015). Martin Faulks is an ardent Bardonian and the Emerald Tablet is a commentary on that ancient document from a Bardonian perspective. Martin brilliantly analyses each paragraph or aphorism of the Tablet in relation to the Four Hermetic Elements in a process of internal alchemy and the ascent and descent of the Holy Spirit on the Middle Pillar. The second new publication is "Liber Spirituum" from Azoth Press, (251 pages hardbound) which is a compilation of articles on traditional magical evocation, invocation, and talisman making edited and introduced by Golden Dawn authority Adam Forrest.
