First mentioned by H.P Lovecraft in the 1920s and referred to throughout his fiction, the Necronomicon - a spurious book of occult knowledge - is so infamous that horror cognoscenti playfully speculate it might exist. Tyson isn't the first writer to attempt a full "translation" of the forbidden text.

Grim Agents of Cosmic Forces...In the early twentieth century, legendary horror writer H.P. Lovecraft described an ancient tome as "the unmentionable Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred...a book which I had never seen, but of which I had heard monstrous things whispered." In the early twenty-first century, best-selling author Donald Tyson wove the myriad rumors and whispers of Lovecraft's dread grimoire into the epic fantasy novels Necronomicon and Alhazred. Intended as a trilogy, this tarot completes Tyson's formidable work.The Necronomicon Tarot brings the phantasmagoric desert wanderings of Alhazred to life in a stunningly visceral deck and companion book. Seventy-eight captivating illustrations by fantasy artist Anne Stokes capture the mythic and monstrous world of Tyson's Necronomicon while remaining true to the underlying structure and tradition of tarot. Prepare to enter a world where the accursed and tormented poet wanders in search of the greatest and darkest magic—divination with the dead.This kit includes 78-card tarot deck and 240-page companion tarot book.Click here to view the artwork of The Necronomicon Tarot.

Written by King James I and published in 1597, the original edition of "Demonology" is widely regarded as one of the most interesting and controversial religious writings in history. The tome, written in the language of its day, has been notoriously difficult to understand. Now occult scholar Donald Tyson has modernized and annotated the original book, making this historically important text accessible to modern readers. Tyson chronicles King James' obsession with demons, their alleged attempts on his life, and the first recorded witch trials. He also offers a knowledgeable and sympathetic look at the details of the magick and witchcraft of the period. "Demonology" features historical woodcut illustrations and includes the original old English text in its entirety.

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.
