We are pleased to announce the publication of The Magical Diaries of Frances Mary Nottingham (Age 73 /3/4) 2006 - 2010, edited by Gary St Michael Nottingham. Released today, the 20th of December, in quiet acknowledgement of her work on what would have been her 75th birthday. Pre-order yours here.
Written between 2006 and 2010, this volume presents curated extracts from four years of sustained magical practice, recorded without expectation of publication. What is presented in this small volume offers a straightforward and unembellished account of day-to-day work with tarot, geomancy, astrology, the Tree of Life, and the conjuration of Elemental, Planetary, Enochian, and Goetic spirits.
The selected entries show the work as it was actually done -methodical, practical, and rooted in techniques familiar across Western esoteric traditions. Decisions, methods, and observed results are recorded plainly, providing a rare primary source focused on lived practice rather than theoretical exposition.
Published posthumously, the volume includes an introduction by her husband, Gary St Michael Nottingham, outlining the context of their shared work, alongside brief reflections from those who knew and worked with her. You may already be familiar with Gary's work, but if not - explore some of Gary Notthingham's titles here
For practitioners seeking real examples of sustained magical discipline, and for readers interested in primary sources and the often under-represented voices of women in the occult, this book offers a valuable working document and insight into the long arc of practical ritual magic.
We hope to start shipping pre-orders before the end of 2024.
Wishing you a very merry Solstice, Yule and Holidays!
