Donald Tyson

Countless books teach you the mechanics of magic, but very few teach how to develop your occult mental abilities so that you can perform magic effectively. Before you perform spells and rituals, you need to develop your mind's muscles. Without mental preparation, you'll just go through the motions without any results. Everyone, regardless of experience or traditions, can learn from these exercises and gain the mental focus to make your magic much more effective. Donald Tyson provides twelve chapters that each cover a different topic or type of occult skill--such as concentration, meditation, scrying, astral travel, and aura manipulation--and why it is necessary for better magic. Within each chapter, you'll find ten exercises to help develop the corresponding topic or skill. Magic comes from the self, and you need to work on yourself before you can cast spells that work. This book has everything you need to do serious magic.

The human voice is one of our most powerful and primal tools in magic, and now you can learn how to use it more effectively in your own practice. Esteemed magician Donald Tyson presents an advanced look at how to compose spoken charms and spells, enchant objects, use words and names of power, control the living breath, and more. Tyson walks you through three categories of incantations healing, love, and protection and he shares different types of spells within those categories. He shows you the inherent potency of vibrating words and vowels, providing numerous examples from historical texts and occult practice. You'll also learn about enchantments for herbs, potions, wands, and even people. From binding the wind through knot magic to using alliteration and repetition, this book balances scholarship and practical workings.

In the fullness of his life, Abdul Alhazred, author of the dreaded Necronomicon, was snatched into the air and devoured by an invisible demon in the marketplace at Damascus before hundreds of witnesses. But where necromancy is concerned, all is not always as it seems, and death is not necessarily the end. Alhazred's lifelong companion, Martala, is determined to search for his remains so that he can be resurrected from his essential salts. But where to look? With the help of Hassid, son of a wealthy merchant and Alhazred's young student in the necromantic arts, and Anisah, the half-fairy daughter of the great Greek mage Harkanos, she sets off to find Alhazred's bones and restore him to life. Alhazred's father, who is a djinn of the Ninth Circle, aids them in their search by lending them the fabled flying carpet of Solomon. Their perilous quest leads them across the face of the ancient world and to other worlds beyond comprehension. Have the final words of Alhazred's story been written? Has fate closed the book of his life? Or is Martala's love strong enough to burst asunder the gates of time and space, and free his soul from everlasting torment?

H. P. Lovecraft's most mysterious character, Abdul Alhazred, author of the infamous grimoire known as the Necronomicon, returns in a new series of adventures in this thrilling blend of sword and sorcery with Lovecraftian horror It is the dawn of Islam. The civilized world, Christian and pagan alike, has bowed before the conquering blade of Mohammed. Onto to this heroic stage strides Abdul Alhazred, a young poet of Yemen who in his later years will come to write the most dangerous of all forbidden books, the Necronomicon. Some men call him mad, while others say he is a fool. Born from the union of a mortal woman with a djinn of the Ninth Circle, he was horribly disfigured in his youth by the king of his native Yemen, then cast into the great desert known as the Empty Space to die. But he did not die. He learned how to survive against all foes, natural or supernatural. With daring and the use of his wits, he became a necromancer, and made his home in ancient Damascus, city of wickedness and sorceries. Follow his adventures across the Arabian deserts and through the twisted streets and graveyards of the oldest city in the world, where mystery and horror lurk behind every shadow. Go with him as he and his two companions encounter gigantic djinn, corpse-devouring ghouls, powerful mages, and alien creatures of nightmare. Herein are rare delights and strange sorceries that will shock your very soul and change you forever.

H. P. Lovecraft's fabled character, Alhazred, the Mad Arab who wrote the infamous Necronomicon is back with new and startling tales of sword and sorcery, horror, and adventure. Alhazred, author of the dreaded book known as the Necronomicon, lives in comfort and relative security at Damascus in the Lane of Scholars with his two companions, the young Egyptian girl, Martala, and the scarred mercenary and master swordsman, Altrus. In the basement of his house he is free to practice his necromantic arts unhindered by the Caliph's laws or the religious fury of the mullahs. But trouble has a way of finding Alhazred. When Moawiya the Second, the Caliph at Damascus, asks him to investigate an island of walking corpses ruled over by alien monsters from another dimension, Alhazred is hardly in a position to refuse, even if he wants to do so. He and his companions are launched into a series of deadly adventures involving sorcery, ghouls, djinn, strange creatures and vindictive priests that lead them across the entire breadth of the ancient Islamic Empire, and beyond. In addition to ten linked stories of magic and high adventure that take place when Alhazred is a young man, the novella The Last 12 Days of Alhazred recounts the events of the final days of Alhazred in his old age through the eyes of his pupil, Hassad ibn Khaled, a young man of good family at Damascus to whom Alhazred has promised to teach the necromantic arts. As his study of the Necronomicon progresses from day to day, Hassad becomes aware of a gathering shadow hanging over the house of Alhazred, but he is unable to prevent the unfolding of Alhazred's horrifying fate.

H. P. Lovecraft's fabled character, Alhazred, the mad Arab who wrote the infamous Necronomicon is back in a new and startling tale of sword and sorcery, horror, and adventure. The infamous author of the Necronomicon, Abdul Alhazred, is sent by the Caliph, Muawiya II, from Damascus to the distant Oasis of Jubbah, which lies in the midst of the Nefud Desert, to search of a fabled red stone that fell from the heavens many ages ago. The stone is mystically linked to the black stone in the Ka'bah at Mecca, and has the power to transform the man who holds it into a conqueror of nations, making him invulnerable in battle. It was once possessed by Alexander the Great, but was lost in Persia after Alexander's death. Rumor has it that the stone was carried westward into Arabia by the mysterious cliff-dwelling clan of wanderers known as the Thamud. The last mention of the stone in ancient written records intimates that it was hidden by the Thamud at Jubbah. Alhazred must locate the stone before it can be found by the agents of the Caliph's arch rival, Marwan ibn al-Hakam, who seeks to overthrow Muawiya and create a new ruling dynasty. Marwan's agents in Jubbah are deceitful and dangerous, leaving Alhazred to wonder who he can trust. Does the stone lie forgotten in a cave on the mountain Jebel Umm Sanman, which looms over the oasis like a thundercloud, or is this only a rumor to mislead fools? The witch of the mountain, Salamagoogah, is ancient beyond the memory of men. She knows the secrets of the red stone, but will she share them with Alhazred or lead him to his death? Who will find the red stone of Jubbah first? The Caliph, Muawiya, in Damascus? His rival Marwan? The witch Salamagoogah? Or will it be another? The fate of the entire Caliphate hangs in the balance, for the man who holds the red stone holds the world on the palm of his hand.

Fourteen spine-tingling excursions into realms of nightmare in the tradition of H. P. Lovecraft, including two full-length novellas never before published, will leave you longing for refuge. Here hide horrors that burrow under the skin to lay eggs of anguish inside the brain. Waking them may mean never sleeping again ... or sleeping forever. Thousands of years ago, a civilization that inhabited the Gobi Desert chiseled off the face of their stone god. Now modern technology will recreate the visage they destroyed.... Nova Scotian sailors have a charming custom of saluting an isolated rock formation that resembles a mother and child ... but it is an inhuman statue of something else entirely.... A dark lake hides more than a bereft father's grief.... A doomed beast learns what being a monster truly means.... The unguessable secrets behind the House of Usher are unveiled by an unwilling guest.... Witch-kin may be worse than no family at all for a lonely youth.... A nursing job at a care facility in Innsmouth-what could go wrong? In league with the village church, a wealthy mine owner exploits orphans ... or serves a deity far more ominous than two young schoolteachers realize.... An archaeologist is fascinated by two lost civilizations-and their gods, whose enmity persists into the present day.... Holes form, sent from another world, that presage fearsome mental emissaries.... Buried on an impossibly distant island by none other than John Dee, the warnings against exhuming it should not have been ignored.... Some men want what they should not have, cannot refuse a terrible gift.... In a post-apocalyptic America, a hideous religion has a use for an untainted man.... A young lady sent to England to become a governess finds something worse than an entrepreneur's traveling menagerie aboard the doomed vessel on which she sails. Other worlds exist that press against our own-and sometimes things pass through the edges where sanity has rubbed thin. From the fertile imagination of Donald Tyson, a reading experience that takes you down paths untrodden, through unmarked forests, with no signposts to lead you back home.
