The Secret Book of Black Arts

First published anonymously in
1878, this rare grimoire has
later been attributed to
Henry T. Williams.

Freshly typeset edition

The Secret Book of Black Arts is an extraordinary Victorian compendium of occult knowledge, first printed anonymously in New York in 1878 and later attributed in bibliographic records to Henry T. Williams.

Here the hidden histories and practices of the “Black Arts” — from sorcery, witchcraft, astrology and divination to spiritualism, table-turning, ghosts and apparitions — are laid bare with an uncompromising mixture of curiosity, scholarship and fearless inquiry.

In its own bold Preface the author declares there is “no question however enshrined by superstition” that will be dodged, and no belief treated *simply because it is the belief of some confiding souls” — and this promise is kept on every page.

This remarkable volume draws together decades of mystical lore and popular superstition, examining everything from the rites of sorcery and witchcraft to the curious beliefs surrounding the evil eye, divining rods, and ghostly visitations. It combines historical accounts, folkloric curiosities, and practical descriptions of occult practices, all presented with the Victorian appetite for the strange, the unexplained, and the deeply intriguing.

Rich in arcane detail yet candid in tone, The Secret Book of Black Arts is a rare archival treasure — one that captivates the imagination of scholars, occultists, and curious readers alike….

Mystic Masonry

Or Symbols of Freemasonry & the
Greater Mysteries of Antiquity
Supplemental Harmonic Series,
Vol. V.  1911

Freshly typeset edition 

Troy Books is proud to present a newly typeset, finely crafted edition, first published in the closing years of the nineteenth century, Mystic Masonry is J. D. Buck’s bold attempt to restore Freemasonry to its place as a true School of the Mysteries. Rather than tracing lodge histories and quarrels over constitutions, Buck asks what the Craft is really for: what its symbols, rituals and legends reveal about the origin of the soul, the purpose of human life and the “higher evolution of man”.

Drawing on the Ancient Mysteries and the emerging occult philosophy of his day, Buck reads Masonic symbolism as a universal language of initiation. The rough and perfect ashlars, the broken columns and lost Word, the five-pointed star and temple-architecture all become keys to an inner work by which the candidate learns that “man is not man as yet”, and that real initiation is an at-one-ment between the higher self and the unseen source from which intuition and spiritual power arise. Education, for Buck, is not mere intellectual polish but the awakening of latent faculties of the soul – a process mirrored, degree by degree, in the work of the Lodge.

Across chapters on education and ethics, the “genius” of Freemasonry, the Secret Doctrine, science and religion, the septenary nature of man, the Great Lodge and the outline of Masonic symbolism, Mystic Masonry uncovers a profound esoteric philosophy within the Craft. It presents Masonry as heir to the Egyptian and Greek Mysteries and as a living custodian of the “Great Secret” preserved in their initiations: a working hypothesis for the psychical and spiritual life of humanity.

For practising Freemasons with an occult bent, Mystic Masonry illuminates the inner side of familiar ceremonies and working tools, revealing the Craft as a path of genuine spiritual transformation rather than mere conviviality. For witches, magical practitioners and students of esoterica, it offers a compelling bridge into Masonic thought, showing how lodge symbolism, ancient Mystery-traditions and the modern occult revival interweave into a single, initiatory tapestry…..

Witch Dance

A Journey into the
Irish Rituals of the Year

Dance is more than movement—it is magic in motion. In this ground-breaking work, Oscar Tusk unveils a forgotten yet vital aspect of Traditional Witchcraft: the Witch Dance. Long depicted in folklore and ritual as central to the Craft, dance has too often been overlooked as a true source of magical power. This book restores its place at the heart of witchery.

Through a blend of history, practical guidance, and lived tradition, Witch Dance explores both the communal circle dances that raise power in covens and the solitary movements that open the gates to the Lunar Astral. From subtle gestures and postures performed by candlelight to ecstatic expressions of will, Tusk shows how the body itself becomes a spell—an offering of power, beauty, and transformation.

With step-by-step instruction, chants, and ritual practices, this book invites witches of all abilities—young and old, beginner and adept, able-bodied and disabled—to discover the liberating truth: if you can move, you can dance, and if you can dance, you can weave magic.

A guide to preparation, ritual tools, sigils, and sacred visualization grounds the work, while practical dance sequences unlock the mysteries of knowledge, power, balance, will, and insight. Whether performed in solitude or with others, Witch Dance offers a path to embody magic, to become the spell, and to let the spirit move through you.

Witch Dance is both a call to reclaim one of the oldest arts of the Craft and an invitation to embrace dance as a magical performance of power and beauty—accessible to every witch who dares to step into the circle.

The White Magic Book

Freshly typeset edition

The White Magic Book, published initially in 1919, first explores the nature of magic and the power of the mind – with its ability to shape reality – in a world and time in which wonders of science, seen not long before as magic, had become reality. The book then reveals unto the reader a system of divination that can be mastered by anyone willing to engage the unseen forces that lie within every person – the power of thought, will, and focused intent. The method is simple as all wonderful things are simple for there must be a method of arriving at any result, and if a simple one can be discovered, so much the better. It is built upon the principle that thought is a real force and leverages the inherent power of the mind to gain insight, clarity, and answers to life’s questions.

Within The White Magic Book, an array of life questions will be found. The diviner is to select a question to which they earnestly require an answer, focus their intent and touch the Table of Signs. Via the symbol selected unseen, the diviner is guided unto the answer they seek. A simple method indeed, but one that requires a focussed mind, directed by an active will-power. The will-power should be roused and the mind awakened to its possibilities.

As the book warns its readers and would-be diviners – the thing will be as you make it. Use in sincerity, and you will be amazed at the accuracy of the results. Be foolish over it, and you will be repaid in your own coin.
