It had to happen sooner or later … ignotus press couldn’t stay in the shadows forever. Between 1997 and 2007 it was one of the leading independent publishers of esoteric books on the subject of ritual magic, mysticism, traditional British Old Craft and the Egyptian Mystery Tradition – and was often ahead of its time in only accepting typescripts from bone fide magical practitioners who could prove their antecedents.
In 2017 the press began reprinting some of the old titles that has been out of print for many years and for which we held the copyright … plus there were new books coming along that were crying out to be published under the ignotus banner. So, at Beltaine 2020 it was decided to launch Ignotus Books and although the old domain name had been sold, we were fortunate enough to acquire ignotusbooksuk.com and the new website is in the process of construction.
