Two editions of the Equinox

Here are two of my Equinox sets. The Weiser edition is in a bookcase in the parlor, while the Keep Silence edition is in the library. The Keep Silence edition is an inexpensive publication comprising meticulously cleaned scans of the original 1909-13 version of the journal. It contains details missed in the Weiser edition (and derivative pdfs), specifically in the Enochian tables in No. 1, Vol. 7. Because of the price, the KS version lends itself to marginalia, cross-reference, and notation. One doesn't have any qualms using it as the workhorse for which it was intended.

Dangerous book encounters

Years ago, when visiting other occultists, I would take a look at their libraries and see what titles we had in common. The danger in this was that oftentimes I'd see books I did not know existed, and I'd then hunt down my own copies. The next danger came when I discovered that some occult books have bibliographies. Currently I'm reading Frances Yates's Rosicrucian Enlightenment, and I discovered yet another danger: interesting studies of books contained within the text itself. Might have to pick up a copy of Comenius's Labyrinth of the World.
