In response to the recent death of crucial figures in the occult community, including the iconic Jake Stratton-Kent and Mike Magee, Farrell presents this edition as a respectful tribute and a deeply philosophical exploration of death and transformation. The collection examines these themes through historical rituals, alchemical texts, and new perspectives from contemporary occultists. Readers will find contributions that blend Western alchemy, Eastern tantric practices, and Greco-Roman theurgical methods, presenting a unique fusion of traditions.
Like previous editions of the Hermetic Tablet, this 2024 edition brings together new and more established authors in the esoteric field.
Highlights include:
- “The Invocation of Nebiros” by Jake Stratton-Kent, a detailed account of a robust operation blending ancient grimoires with modern interpretations.
- “Alchemy: Mātṛkābheda Tantra” by Mike Magee, exploring alchemical and tantric insights from Indian traditions, emphasising the transformative potential within esoteric rituals.

Nick Farrell said: “This special themed edition of the Tablet is not just about death as an endpoint but as a transformative force, inviting readers to reconsider their perceptions of life, the afterlife, and the impact of those who walk between worlds.”
