Description

[OCCULTISM] Maria de NAGLOWSKA - The Light of Sex [with] The Mystery of Hanging Édition de la Flèche à Paris, 1932-1934 - First editions of these two rare works described as "Ritual of Satanic initiation according to the doctrine of the third term of the Trinity". Paperback with covers in average condition, the two works have been taped together at the spine and would probably merit some binding work, the interior being of great freshness and free of foxing. The first volume is illustrated with eight symbolic plates by Lucien Helbé and the second with eight symbolic drawings composed by the author and executed by R. Leflers. The first volume is enriched with a handsome autograph letter signed by the author and numbered on tinted Helio (edition at 500 copies), the second volume numbered on tinted Helio (edition numbered at 200 copies). A curious note in blue pencil on the first cover of the first volume: "Livre qui n'intéresse que pour montrer les efforts faits pour pervertir l'homme", "A déchirer!" and "Livres dangereux comme le titre d'ailleurs l'indique et qui ne peut que conduire en enfer, à ne pas lire sans préparation", which sets the tone! Curious and unusual books, linked to magic and the occult. In-8, 141pp (10) 137pp (7)
