Light in Extension
The Horus Temple of the Golden Dawn
by Melissa Seims
"With the wealth of new information in her fascinating and detailed account of the history and working of the often overlooked Horus Temple, Melissa Seims has added significantly to our knowledge and understanding of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn - just when we thought that there was nothing more to discover about the Order !"
Dr R.A. Gilbert, author of The Golden Dawn: Twilight of the Magicians, The Golden Dawn Companion and The Golden Dawn Scrapbook.
“Light in Extension opens up an unexplored chapter of the esoteric history of West Yorkshire that will be of great interest to practitioners and scholars alike. Melissa Seims investigates the relationships between the esoteric societies active in and around Bradford in the nineteenth century and their legacy for contemporary occultism.”
Phil Hine, author of Condensed Chaos and Queerying Occultures

Here Be Magick
The People and Practices of the Coven of Atho
by Melissa Seims
“I find two things especially appealing about this book. The first is the excellence of the research, by which so many details have been painstakingly retrieved concerning the people and rites concerned. The second is the author's readiness to see the best in those people, and to bring out their value and significance to the reader.”
Ronald Hutton
“The author’s unequalled, thorough and wide-ranging research techniques in both archives and personal contact are much to be admired and have uncovered the truth behind some of the most enigmatic characters to be found in the history of modern magic and witchcraft, and their association with the mysterious Coven of Atho.”
Philip Heselton
It is rare to find a witchcraft book with something new to say, but "Here Be Magick" does exactly that...

HERE BE MAGICK - THE BLURB
This compelling account of eccentricity and Witchcraft in the 1950s and 60s revolves around two principal characters: ‘Rex Nemorensis’ (Charles Cardell), son of an internationally famous Victorian stage magician, and Ray Howard, owner of the Head of Atho – a representation of the Horned God of the Witches reputedly over 2000-years-old.
From the luxury of his country estate, Cardell trod his own unique path of modern Witchcraft, the reality of which was effectively put on trial in a High Court libel case brought against a major newspaper, following an article by two reporters who had hidden near Charles’ sacred Grove. What they witnessed, would change Cardell’s life forever.
This book, based on new research, explores their fascinating lives and examines their writings and relationships with other witches including Gerald Gardner and Doreen Valiente.
For the first time, the writings of the Coven of Atho are reproduced. They reveal its previously hidden gems and provide a workable form of Witchcraft blended with Druidic influences.
The glistening strands of this story are woven into the larger history of the origins of modern Witchcraft in Britain. Here be Magick…
