reswati Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) It ceased to exist a long long time ago. There is a thread about the topic already, use the search function. If you want to buy occult books, please ask your local witch doctor, or go to Ixaxaar. Do What Thou Wilt.

Rock Historian Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Without looking it up for you, I believe it closed in the mid-late 80's? If you are interested in occult books, visit New Orleans. (or find em' online) There are Voodoo shops who specialize in this particular area..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aen27 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) I bought the "Book Of Lies" in paperback because Jimmy sold the elaborate hardcover at the Equniox. I saw a copy of what it looked like a while ago on line. Edited June 2, 2012 by aen27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZISH Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 As you can see from my profile photo, I still have some sticky back adverts for the shop, my sister used to help out at the shop, she was Jimmy's housekeeper not too far from it.

Sagittarius Rising Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The bookstore sold hamburgers too??? Impressive, that's what I call diversifying. I pray they never sold gnostic mass biscuits...nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aen27 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) There is wonderful information about the Equinox in Light and Shade AND Trampled Underfoot. It sounds like a beautiful place. This is Eric Hill's descprition in Light and Shade who ran it for Jimmy. I wished I could have seen it!! It sounds beautiful! The shop partitioned with glass panels etched with Egyptian gods, including Thoth, Horus as well as others. All the shelving was in a black neo-Egyptian art-deco style, with soft lighting throughout. On the walls hung paintings by Alister Crowley and Austin Osman Spare. Edited October 25, 2012 by aen27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZebedee Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) I remember going to London specially back in the summer of 82 to try and find it. Spent hours wandering around only to discover it had closed 5 years previously! I was hoping to find Jimmy serving behind the counter - I know, I know!

Walter Five Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 A "complete" Crowley collection would be impossible, manuscripts and paste-ups of entire books diasappeared during the Author's life. Hundreds of pages of his "Confessions" remain unpublished. Hundreds of pages of letters and diaries likewise unpublished, many in private hands. My "incomplete" collection has cost me several thousand dollars and 31 years to amass. Some important material remains unpublished, believe it or not, while other important books are currently out of print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boleskine Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 According to Nick Kent it was partly staffed by junkies and was also a drug connection place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 4 hours ago, Boleskine said: According to Nick Kent it was partly staffed by junkies and was also a drug connection place. Undoubtedly, but it was still a legitimate business. Jimmy republished Crowley's Goetia through The Equinox in 1976. An original is shown here: https://www.miskatonicbooks.com/product/goetia-by-aleister-crowley-equinox-bookshop-jimmy-page/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boleskine Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I've seen the Goetia on eBay but never the Hickey book. Wonder how many of each they made. Very interesting description of the shop here https://credencedawg.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/my-first-occult-bookshop/?fbclid=IwAR3_Gj6TMkOdlU1RIwGXcz5ikj8vZRo5fvxJKc7lm0XO86N-Y15QwcVFW2Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
