UK-based occult publishing house Thein has opened pre-orders for David Beth’s latest book, The Black Pilgrimage. The posted description says:
The Black Pilgrimage by David Beth offers a comprehensive, inside view of Kosmic Gnosis—its mysteries, cosmology, and operative art: a living initiatic tradition aimed at the re-calibration of mortal life into Kosmic allegiance, where the world meets the practitioner as a revelatory, answering reality and the human stands as a contested hearth for living powers. At its core is a rigorous pandaemonism / animism: the Kosmos as a communion of presences and currents, with hosts, daemons, gods, and the Dead.
From this foundation, Part One presents six pylons—and an addendum on Fate and Destiny—as a coherent architecture of initiation: abyssal cosmology and daemonology, the human as hearth and threshold, and disciplines that re-forge vision, dream, and world-experience until the Living All is encountered as immediate and ecstatic. Central to this trajectory is the awakening of the Self-as-Daemon: the practitioner’s daemonic core kindled into sovereignty and magical relationality.
This pilgrimage does not proceed unopposed. David Beth names the counter-forces that work against Kosmic contact: currents that lure the soul toward division, sedation, false light, and spiritual captivity—shackles that sever attention from the world’s deeper strata and transmute communion into dissolution. The path breaks these bindings through ordeal, devotion, and an esoteric armory required to enflesh the Current.
The pylons range across the decisive stations of the Work: initiatic katabasis and the rekindling of inner fire; necropolitan service and the cult of the Dead; grave-arts and bone-wisdom; vows and thresholds; erotic covenant and sorcerous bond—a singular, intense system with no close analogue, articulated in powerfully evocative language that draws the reader relentlessly into deeper experience.
Part Two: The Work deepens and unfolds the pylons into practice, offering esoteric hymns, prayers, and magical rites through which the Pilgrimage becomes operative in body, soul, and deed.
You can have ’em if you can grab ’em!
