The tracing paper is a beautiful touch it seems-of course the book of the Red Goddess would be covered in a veil that is easily tarnished. May be a symbolic gesture to throw the cover away for the time we are living in, but I would keep the shroud of mystery so that only those with a true-hearted and curious inclination towards what is hidden would be tempted to take the book off the shelf and look at it.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

That's a lovely thought 😊🙏

[@dracul6259]

I was luckily able to get a copy of this edition too! Absolutely beautiful

[@josiahsophia8938]

Me too!

Sounds like an interesting book...I think your review made it clearer than the description of it on Scarlet Imprints website.

[@myleonasi]

After this review I couldn't resist seeking out the pearl edition. It is stunning, both the content and the book itself. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

[@joaobatistatoledoprado6367]

Lovely, lovely book! As if the slip case in fabric and the dust cover in translucent red paper weren’t enough, the pages still have gilt edges. Anyway, a jewel! Plus this review has the merit of providing a much more accurate idea of ​​what this book is about. Finally, Denis’ statement that Peter Gray is the inquirer of the Christian villans was a great one! 😝

[@kenclarkeis]

I have the paperback to read. I love how you treat the book as an object with meaning in itself. Another great review.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

For sure these are the ultimate telesmatic objects 😄🙏📚

[@robertblackmore703]

I grabbed the pearl addition. I have to credit you sir, I wouldn’t even know about Scarlet Imprint if not for your videos. I’m pleased to see the channel gaining favor and subscribers. As always you do excellent work delivered with solid narration. You have been favored with a fine voice for the job; I always enjoy listening. Cheers, and best of luck in your future endeavors!

[@theheartofcosmos]

The color and golden stamp are gorgeous.

[@JiandiP]

I just ordered a Pearl from SI. I have been drawn towards the idea of the divine feminine. I've been thinking about this book since you made this video.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

You'll be pleasantly surprised 😄 that pearl edition is absolutely gorgeous!

[@Di5functi0n3l_playp3n]

Great review of the physical structure and content. Can't get that one though. Maybe for review at later time when I'm more stable. Information is powerful, and not all doors should be opened just because you have the key 🗝🙄. maybe I'm too cautious 😆😆, but I'd rather be safe for now at least lol.

[@Danthehorse]

You are trusting your instincts , 100% right thing to do.

[@abrazor]

I chose the paperback as I just adore the art on the cover, a picture which is not found in any of the other versions.

[@silkweaver]

Thanks for the valuable review! You clearly confirmed that I should've just ordered when it was available and not overthink any further. Still a delight to watch you sharing your impressions!

[@TakeTheRing]

you're lucky to get that edition! I have the 'white' one. I love it, love Grey, love SI. thanks so much for the review. Please do Two Antichrists when it comes out

[@robertbradley8309]

Beautiful hardcover and great video. Speaking of esoteric subjects, I received the Easton Press version of the 1455 Gutenberg Bible. This book is absolutely stunning and huge, Smyth binding, real cowhide leather, Finch vanilla vellum paper, and absolutely huge. There is not any videos on this particular edition anywhere. I think you would love this!! Check it out!!

[@silvanus623]

Thanx alot I love your reviews, but I have never seen a review on any of Franz Bardon's books, he was one of my fav magicians, up there next to Aleister Crowley, he lived during the same period. He and Crowley also have letters, they sent back and fourth, but there quite rare and difficult to find.

And I believe in one Earth, the Mother of us all, and in one Womb wherein all men are begotten, and wherein they shall rest, Mystery of Mystery, in Her name BABALON. 93

The Paperback got me through some seriously rough times. Luckily I have a digital copy to help me turn pain in to beauty wherever I go.

[@JiandiP]

So I'm reading it now. Oddly enough the movie "The 9th Gate" was suggested to me right as I was waiting for the book to ship. It is evident that this movie is about Babalon. The woman who enters the main character's life even drives a red Dodge Viper. I wonder what Peter Grey would think????

[@justinroberts7291]

...and isn't she riding a seven headed beast in one of the last woodcut illustrations? Love that film.

[@JiandiP]

@@justinroberts7291 Yes, she was. Apparently, Roman Polanski's film loosely follows a novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. I don't know who put in the Babalon references, but she is not unheard of in L.A. Besides Crowley, another interesting portion of modern Babalon history includes the workings of Jack Parsons, one of the grandfathers of rocket engineering, and L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. Does anyone know if Babalon is alluded to in the original novel?

quick question, i just finished the movie 'pyewacket' which is about evoking demons, have you seen it? if yes, what are your thoughts?

[@anayrre2062]

I think I lost this one 😣 It looks so dreamy. Are there any hardbacks available for less than 200 something dollars? I think now the paperback is also more than 100. I'm sad. 🥺

[@FoolishFishBooks]

The paperbacks are not limited. They should never be more than $20-30 at the most. Check the links in the description.

[@dreggywegs]

I'm curious, Mr. Fish/fellow esotericists, would you consider Thelema to be a LHP approach to magick and mysticism? Thanks, - Drew

[@FoolishFishBooks]

It's a good question, and it depends on your definition of LHP. I'm my latest video on Tantra (for members only until next Saturday, so you should already have access to it), I give a definition of what constitutes tantric practice, and the 10 last points are specific to a left hand path. In my opinion, Thelema matches then all.

[@dreggywegs]

@@FoolishFishBooks thanks for clarifying! I gave that video a watch earlier, but I was at work and it was very early in the morning. I'll give it another watch and listen more carefully.

[@olgaforeman114]

What is the difference btw rose and pearl editions? Do they look different? Also, when I follow the link to the store, only digital editions are available, for all their books/authors. I found paperback edition on amazon, but not even a picture of a rose edition or pearl edition

[@FoolishFishBooks]

"Please note, our bookshop is closed while we are away, and will reopen on Saturday 15th May. Digital editions remain available."

[@FoolishFishBooks]

The rose one is the one I show in this video. The pearl one is white with red edges, red stamped device on the cover, white tracing paper dust cover and no slip case. Also an exquisite object.
