HERMETIC TABLET NEARLY READY

The Hermetic Tablet is coming and it will be an exciting new method of communicating practical occult information to the public. The Hermetic Tablet is a meeting place of those who work within the wider Western Occult tradition. Normally these sorts of papers circulate privately within the writer’s esoteric groups or amongst those who work with them. The goal of the Hermetic Tablet is to present these papers in a journal format for the first time. Although there are some big names in this edition, some of which have not published anything publically for years, the Hermetic Tablet also aims to provide an avenue for new writers who have something to say on the field of Practical Magic. 

This will help foster a new generation of occult writers in the same way that the Occult Review helped to develop the esoteric career of Dion Fortune.

The Journal will not be specific to the Golden Dawn tradition, in fact the aim is to encourage all western esoteric traditions to contribute. Articles will be 1-10,000 words and should not include poetry (other than full on invocations) as we have no way of judging its merit.

The Hermetic Tablet will be issued four times a year in a paperback format, a limited edition hardcover version, and an ebook (several months behind the print copy). The proceeds of each edition will go to a recognised esoteric charity – the first issue is dedicated to the Golden Dawn Legal fund.  The books will be on sale through lulu, but we will be putting into the Amazon distribution system (something we are less keen on because Amazon takes a huge cut).
