Announcing: 776 1/2, Third Edition
-
(One of the most requested titles College of Thelema has ever produced is coming back into print - in a significantly expanded edition. Current estimates from the printer are that we will have books in hand by early March. This is one of the events celebrating Temple of Thelema's 20th Anniversary Year which began Vernal Equinox 2009 EV. Here is the ad copy from the back of the jacket.)
Reigniting the spark of magick in the hearts
of a new generation of aspirants!
Have you ever tried to use Liber 777 (really use it!) to design and implement magical ritual?Can you read it without your glasses? Can you read it with your glasses?
Can you tell its Gimel from its Nun? Can you pronounce the Hebrew names and words in 777 once you can read them? Can you find your way around its tables quickly and efficiently? (Can you answer “yes” to any of these questions?)
Aleister Crowley’s Liber 777 remains one of the most important occult references of the 20th Century, demonstrating the interrelationships of diverse philosophical, religious, mystical, and magical systems from around the world. One of Crowley’s finest contributions to both practical and theoretical philosophy was this correlation of numerous world traditions, of East and West alike. Yet it has never been very handy for the practicing magician.
Now, this extraordinary compilation by James A. Eshelman, titled 776½, is designed exclusively to support the practice of ceremonial magick. According to its author, “776½ is not quite 777.”
776½ contains 182 tables of the most useful practical ceremonial information. Although much of this comes originally from 777, most of the tables have been supplemented and expanded. The Hebrew and other letters are large, clear, and readable. The columns have been reorganized into a more useful sequence. Additionally, almost every Hebrew word or Name in the entire work is also transliterated into English to assist the practitioner in pronunciation. Numerous typographical and other mistakes from 777 have been corrected.
New tables have been added on such topics as: The Genii and Averse Spirits of the 22 Paths from Liber Arcanorum and Liber Carcerorum; the Thelemic, Scandinavian, Assyro-Babylonian, Celtic, Voudoun, and Santeria pantheons; Psychological Attributions of the 32 Paths; use of the Unicursal Hexagram; the Enochian alphabet and three models of its enumeration; and more. Practical correspondences of animals, plants, precious and semiprecious stones, magical weapons, incenses, “magical powers and mystical states,” and others have been expanded.
And that’s just the first half of the book!
Supplementing these extensive lists is a new essay on Ritual Construction (which is also a partial study guide to Crowley’s Magick in Theory & Practice) and ten sample magick rituals for such purposes as generating magical force, prosperity, obtaining angelic guardians, remapping your character patterns, the highest spiritual attainments, and The Thelemic Mass.
This third revised edition expands the already popular 1995 edition with new tables and additional data. The instructional essays have been significantly expanded and updated to incorporate new teaching approaches. A new Appendix contains instructions for frequently used small rituals of banishing, invoking, and energizing – including the never-before-published Liber Pleiades.
In this new edition, 776½ has grown so much, it should be renamed 776¾!
Aeternitas, thanks. We'd much rather sell a book to someone who actually wants it than someone who doesn't.
Since the second half of the book doesn't interest you, I want to be sure to ask: You do understand (don't you) that this book was specifically created as a tool for the crafting of magick ritual? (Rather than, say, comparative philosophy, for example, for which 777 was especially crafted.) Right tools for the right occasion.

I bought Skinner's book when it came out and I would agree that it is an outstanding reference as well.
But the value of 776 1/2 is in the organization of the tables as well as the guidelines to assist in the magical creation of ceremonial ritual, not with the typical cookbook fashion of do a then b then c, but rather utilizing a proven spiritual process.
I believe the second half represents one of the best structured approaches to the creation of ceremonial ritual that I have seen publicly printed to date...Tony DeLuce

I don't know that information... but the person handling ordering has been good about digging out that kind of information. Click the "C.O.T. Publications Customer Service" link on www.thelema.org/publication and ask him.

The Hebrew and other letters are large, clear, and readable. The columns have been reorganized into a more useful sequence. Additionally, almost every Hebrew word or Name in the entire work is also transliterated into English to assist the practitioner in pronunciation. Numerous typographical and other mistakes from 777 have been corrected.
New tables have been added on such topics as: The Genii and Averse Spirits of the 22 Paths from Liber Arcanorum and Liber Carcerorum; the Thelemic, Scandinavian, Assyro-Babylonian, Celtic, Voudoun, and Santeria pantheons; Psychological Attributions of the 32 Paths; use of the Unicursal Hexagram; the Enochian alphabet and three models of its enumeration; and more. Practical correspondences of animals, plants, precious and semiprecious stones, magical weapons, incenses, “magical powers and mystical states,” and others have been expanded.
And that’s just the first half of the book!
Supplementing these extensive lists is a new essay on Ritual Construction (which is also a partial study guide to Crowley’s Magick in Theory & Practice) and ten sample magick rituals for such purposes as generating magical force, prosperity, obtaining angelic guardians, remapping your character patterns, the highest spiritual attainments, and The Thelemic Mass.
This third revised edition expands the already popular 1995 edition with new tables and additional data. The instructional essays have been significantly expanded and updated to incorporate new teaching approaches. A new Appendix contains instructions for frequently used small rituals of banishing, invoking, and energizing – including the never-before-published Liber Pleiades.
In this new edition, 776½ has grown so much, it should be renamed 776¾!
We could really use some reviews of 776 1/2 on Amazon. Only one review has appeared and, while we can't complain about the sentiments or rating
, more reader opinions would be welcome.Amazon continues to carry the book, but is slow on ordering. (They just ordered 19 - one case - though they've been out of stock most of the week and the sales ranking shot up this morning implying they had a bunch of orders.) You can still usually get the book much faster if ordering directly from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.thelema.org/publications">www.thelema.org/publications</a><!-- w -->. But, regardless of how you get the book, if you have a copy and have an opinion about it, and have an Amazon account, you can post a review on
www.amazon.com/776%C2%BD-Practical-Ceremonial-James-Eshelman/dp/0970449623It would help us, and it would help other people curious about the book.
Thanks in advance.

Reigniting the spark of magick in the hearts
of a new generation of aspirants!
Have you ever tried to use Liber 777 (really use it!) to design and implement magical ritual?Can you read it without your glasses? Can you read it with your glasses?
Can you tell its Gimel from its Nun? Can you pronounce the Hebrew names and words in 777 once you can read them? Can you find your way around its tables quickly and efficiently? (Can you answer “yes” to any of these questions?)
Aleister Crowley’s Liber 777 remains one of the most important occult references of the 20th Century, demonstrating the interrelationships of diverse philosophical, religious, mystical, and magical systems from around the world. One of Crowley’s finest contributions to both practical and theoretical philosophy was this correlation of numerous world traditions, of East and West alike. Yet it has never been very handy for the practicing magician.

Dear, Jim, I think your book is certainly worth the buy, but I think it's not for people who are not acquainted enough with the Teachings of Aleister Crowley, to buy the book as yet, as for me I think it's certainly worth the effort to buy the book, only I have to study other books as well, also this time there coming out so many books who all are of very great interest, so I think I shall buy the book later, otherwise I could give a review of it on Amazon, but unfortunately not now . . .

I order from Amazon regularly but for this book I ordered directly from the Thelema.org link. The book arrived faster than 95% of the orders I place at Amazon. Not sure if anyone mentioned it but the packaging was excellent.
The presentation of the content is laid out very well. This is definitely a book made to be used, a book of action!

Thanks
: Primarily for the review but, of course, also for liking it. I look forward to reading it.BTW I just noticed Amazon is showing the book "in stock." They apparently got the last shipment checked in - and they're actually promising delivery by Tuesday if one orders today, so they feel they have a copy in their actual warehouse. (Sorry for the sarcasm that you should be detecting come through this - they've been good to us over the years, and disappointing on this round for what ends up "leading people on." I don't like that.)
But anyway... They have it in stock.

Got my copy about a week ago. I also got mine directly from COT and was surprised how I had it in hand in just a couple of days. I pulled it out of the box and my wife commented how it looked like my "big blue book", lol...I told her it was published and written by the same guy. It really is high quality, much easier to read than 777 and has some of the most lucid writing on ritual construction that I've ever read. You really do write rather lucidly, Jim.

Cari Fratres et Sorores, 93,
first of all i have to thank Zeph (C.O.T.), who was very helpful to me.
I've orderd "The Mystical and Magical System of the A.'. A.'." but received "776 1/2". After Zeph presented it to me with compliments, i took it as an indication and took a deeper look at it.
From the first moment i liked it very much and it helped me to create a talisman for my wife without taping in a library and search all correspondence needed.
Thank you for this nice little piece of love and light.
93 93/93
In L.V.X.
Frater M.'.A.'.M.'.

Can you tell its Gimel from its Nun? Can you pronounce the Hebrew names and words in 777 once you can read them? Can you find your way around its tables quickly and efficiently? (Can you answer “yes” to any of these questions?)
Aleister Crowley’s Liber 777 remains one of the most important occult references of the 20th Century, demonstrating the interrelationships of diverse philosophical, religious, mystical, and magical systems from around the world. One of Crowley’s finest contributions to both practical and theoretical philosophy was this correlation of numerous world traditions, of East and West alike. Yet it has never been very handy for the practicing magician.
Now, this extraordinary compilation by James A. Eshelman, titled 776½, is designed exclusively to support the practice of ceremonial magick. According to its author, “776½ is not quite 777.”
776½ contains 182 tables of the most useful practical ceremonial information. Although much of this comes originally from 777, most of the tables have been supplemented and expanded. The Hebrew and other letters are large, clear, and readable. The columns have been reorganized into a more useful sequence. Additionally, almost every Hebrew word or Name in the entire work is also transliterated into English to assist the practitioner in pronunciation. Numerous typographical and other mistakes from 777 have been corrected.
New tables have been added on such topics as: The Genii and Averse Spirits of the 22 Paths from Liber Arcanorum and Liber Carcerorum; the Thelemic, Scandinavian, Assyro-Babylonian, Celtic, Voudoun, and Santeria pantheons; Psychological Attributions of the 32 Paths; use of the Unicursal Hexagram; the Enochian alphabet and three models of its enumeration; and more. Practical correspondences of animals, plants, precious and semiprecious stones, magical weapons, incenses, “magical powers and mystical states,” and others have been expanded.
And that’s just the first half of the book!
Supplementing these extensive lists is a new essay on Ritual Construction (which is also a partial study guide to Crowley’s Magick in Theory & Practice) and ten sample magick rituals for such purposes as generating magical force, prosperity, obtaining angelic guardians, remapping your character patterns, the highest spiritual attainments, and The Thelemic Mass.
This third revised edition expands the already popular 1995 edition with new tables and additional data. The instructional essays have been significantly expanded and updated to incorporate new teaching approaches. A new Appendix contains instructions for frequently used small rituals of banishing, invoking, and energizing – including the never-before-published Liber Pleiades.
In this new edition, 776½ has grown so much, it should be renamed 776¾!

"Why did you choose Yod for the cover (or I should say, the cover under the jacket)?
Also, the bold font (headings, titles, etc) feels so 1970's!"
If that's the worst criticism anyone levels at the book, I'll live with myself somehow
Typography is a bit of a science and a bit of an art form. A lot of different things went into selecting that particular face in the mid-90s, and I stuck with it. For one, I like it. But it also has some other valuable characteristics. A tiny bit artsy (which is important for a book so data-saturated), yet with very high legibility. Sans-serif not not blocky. The column header/footer typeface is also used for the index column at left, and the weight of the face gives, again, high visibility as the eye follows across the page.
The Yod came from a couple of places. It got on the cover originally because I needed a small bit of artwork to break up the empty space on the cloth and leather covers - something to slightly increase the ratio of printed to non-printed surface. The Yod, sized very large, has a fluidic motion. It's obviously connected to the subject matter of the book, both by being the foundation letter of the whole of Qabalah and by being the letter of Will. There were also personal reasons that were a nice secondary cause; for example, Yod was my earliest magical motto, and strongly connected to most of my other mottos over the years.

(One of the most requested titles College of Thelema has ever produced is coming back into print - in a significantly expanded edition. Current estimates from the printer are that we will have books in hand by early March. This is one of the events celebrating Temple of Thelema's 20th Anniversary Year which began Vernal Equinox 2009 EV. Here is the ad copy from the back of the jacket.)

"Should the Sample Rituals be played out in succession? Or (as I suppose) could the student, finding he needs something that may be Opus 8 (or whatever) perform the ritual of his choice? I've read this book about 6 times now, minus the tables and I absolutely love it."
In succession would be one very good way to do it, I think. Not the only way - but one good way.
