The Book of the Goetia

 

The material in this book was translated into English by MacGregor Mathers (Credited by Crowley as “A Dead Hand.”). It was apparently acquired by Crowley during his raid of the Golden Dawn's Second Order Headquarters in April 1900. Crowley contributed the emendations, introduction, and notes.

     

A pirated edition was later published in the U.S.A. circa 1910 by the Occult Publishing House of Chicago.
