Paperback Edition of “A Rose Veiled In Black” Due in February

The Cultus Sabatai’s publishing arm, Three Hands Press has announced a paperback edition of their anthology devoted to our Lady, Babalon. Their FB page sez:

“Due to the success of ‘A Rose Veiled in Black’ –our anthology on the Lady Babalon– we will be releasing the book in softcover in February, in addition to continuing to stock it in hardcover. For this occasion we have commissioned a new original cover by Linda MacFarlane, who also executed the Babalon image for the hardcover. The book will also include a new color image by Thelemic artist Mitchell Nolte on the interior.”

If you’re not familiar with this book, here’s their website’s description:

“The Lady Babalon is one of the more enigmatic figures in the Cult of Thelema. She is a manifold deity in the sense that She is a divine harlot, an initiatrix, a creator and a destroyer. In representative form, the letters of Her name encompass an heptogrammic star; yet She lies beyond mere representation, and Her star signifies only the powers of Her train and not the station of Her immanence. She is the unsignified, a cipher conveying manifestation, and yet the veritable seal of the invisible Order of Illuminated Adepts. In Her subtle and etheric anatomy flows the life-blood of the Saints – the All-Living – and in this is Her deepest mystery, for, as it is written, in the Gospels, and in Aleister Crowley’s Liber 418, ‘The Blood is the Life.”

“A Rose Veiled in Black is the second volume in Three Hands Press’ ‘Western Esotericism in Context’ Series which began with Hands of Apostasy. The book is a potent gathering of twelve essays and rituals of Babalon by scholars, practitioners, and allies of Thelema, dedicated wholly unto the manifest contemplation of Her Mystery. Exploring occult themes of sacrifice, magical liberation, prophecy, witchcraft, and abomination, it marks a watershed publication for the discourse on this important and previously neglected aspect of Thelemic Studies. The written works are enhanced by an offering of original and visionary art from contemporary practitioners, each exploring Her magical arcana from a ritually embodied perspective.”

One notes a number of Sisters and Brothers among the contributors, the full list of contributors being:
