      I have heard much about these, and have wanted to get my hands on them ever since I did.

      Thank you immensely for the time and effort taken making these available to us. It is much appreciated. 😄

      Looking forward to reading the V&V analysis!

        Let me know what you think.

        And, also know that it "ain't nothing" compared to what's coming... because I'm now ready to announce (but quietly, just in this thread on another subject) that the book I've been sweating away on for the last few months and have almost finished is...

        Vision & Voices
        Aleister Crowley's Enochian Visions
        with Astrological & Qabalistic Commentary

        In other words... the series in BP, with another 10 years of perspective on the material, written for a larger audience, and supplemented with extras to make it more of a book than a magazine series. I mostly just have to finish the 30 or so pages of Introduction and the last 25% of the Glossary, and finish some layout issues, and it will be ready to go off to press.

        Meanwhile... read what I'm now referring to as "the pilot study" ... the articles serialized in Black Pearl.

                  There is a different cover on every issue. You have 11 of them there! 😄 (But the "coat of arms" inside the cover of each is identical in every issue.)

                  I am particularly fond of the cover of No. 1, that was mostly my design. I also think No. 6 sizzles. And they're all pretty cool.

                  I think I made some JPEG scans of the covers when these were first coming out. They may not be very big, though. When I get a chance, I'll dig them out and see if they have any decent resolution.

                    Awsome, the cover of No. 1 is my favorite. Their is something mesmerizing about that hawk in the black sun!

                            I just clicked on it and it worked me for me...could either be your connection or the host server was just temporarily bogged down.

                              I just downloaded the file and opened it. It works. But a slow connection will cause problems.

                              I recommend not opening it in the browser. Instead, right-click on the shortcut and pick Save Target As. Save it to your local machine without opening it first.

                                  I've temporarily suspended the single-issue download, and have left the bundled sets. It seems this last gig or so of data maxed my web hosting space (once thought to be more than I'd ever use... live and learn!). So I deleted the single issues for now to free up a few hundred MB and keep all of these sites running.

                                    Why don't you publish a printed single volume edition of ITC + BP (well-edited)?

                                    It would be awesome.

                                    😄

                                      Well, we did just publish it that way - electronically 🆒 😆

                                      Oh, not what you meant. Sorry.

                                      I really don't believe there's a market for it, and we've moved past it. Humbly, I believe BP was leading edge for its time - 10 years ago. In a sense, making it available in the current form is also a way of saying we've moved on past it, and here is the original. My forthcoming new book supercedes the V&V study that makes up a substantial part of BP. I'm not sure that a bundled magazine makes a very good book except as a memorial. (And it would be very expensive to do it right. With new layouts the final product would probably cost close to $100 retail - not particularly the best service to the reader, and an investment by the publisher that could set back other plans for years.)

                                      And that's just mentioning BP. Add ITC and (besides the several years that typesetting and editing would take), you couldn't fit it into a single volume. You're looking at perhaps a 2,500 page book (on crude estimate of converting those pages to typesetting).

                                          Thank you very much for making these available Jim (and team)!

                                          They make me very excited in anticipation for the new book Jim, as the Aethyr stuff is a wonderful bunch of commentary with, seemingly, a very deep astrological viewpoint expressed throughout.

                                          If the new book included some basics and need to know stuff on astrology (as an introductory chapter, or an appendix), I for one, would find that helpful...

                                          Also, including some stuff on enochian such as the information you just shared regarding the 3rd and 4th aethyrs but in a more tabular format might also be useful for newbies like me. For instance, this paragraph of knowledge is awesome:

                                          "Each Enocian letter has an astrological attribution. P is Cancer (analogous to Cheth, The Chariot); A to Taurus (analogous to Vav, The Hierophant); Z is Leo (analogous to Teth, Lust). The name of the 4th aethyr, then, is Cancer and Leo (the houses of the Moon and the Sun) standing on either side of a Vav, which literally means "and" or a fastening, so that the 4th Aethyr is a vision of the intimate joining of the Sun and the Moon in the person of the two figures. But each planetary principle has both a positive and a negative expression in the Enochian alphabet, and P is the positive (increasing) aspect of the Moon, while Z is the negative (southern declination) aspect of the Sun, so the vision shows the two figures joined but each infused with the other's essential nature."

                                          Thanks again.
