Item #FUL-WW SONGS FOR THE WITCH WOMAN. Jack Parsons, Marjorie Cameron.

SONGS FOR THE WITCH WOMAN.

London: Fulgur Limited, 2014. Limited First Edition. A Mint Copy, uncirculated, and bound in premium custom blocked cloth, with special matching end papers in glassine wrap, printed throughout on an exquisite Italian paper, with a matching thematic dust jacket based on Cameron's art. Colored illustrations and drawings. Original material was inspired by the affair between Jack Parsons and his artist lover, and magickal confidante, Marjorie Cameron. For Parsons, Cameron was a muse, a fellow student of Thelema and magick, and a primal force of nature - a woman he proclaimed as his 'elemental' in a letter to Aleister Crowley. Without doubt, Marjorie Cameron fascinated, troubled and inspired Parsons. This volume not only features the original verse written by Parsons to document his feelings toward his often absent lover, but, for the first time, the images from the hand of Cameron, which illustrated and echoed the most intimate of themes. After Parsons' death in June 1952, due to misadventure, Cameron continued the notebook in which this work was recorded, and includes a hand-written diary of the magical working, which took place in the period following the deathy of Parsons. All the poems, drawings and diary entries are published for the first time; plus a facsimile of the original 1950s notebook with text by Jack Parsons, and illustrations in watercolor by Marjorie Cameron; The texts have also been corrected and typeset, alongside a second suite of pen and ink drawings, that Cameron produced for the work after 1952: Contextual commentaries from William Breeze, George Pendle and Margaret Haines. 176 pages. Quarto. Item #FUL-WW
