Ouroboros Press is set to release the second volume of the Picatrix on October 18th, 2008.
To commemorate the event, a book release party will be held on that day in Historic Pioneer Square at the Rodriguez Guerra Art Studio where publisher William Kiesel will be signing.
A description of the book from the Ouroboros Press blog, The Serpent Bites Its Tail:
Picatrix Volume Two contains the 3rd and 4th books of Ghayat Al-Hakim and will complete the English translation. It is a larger book than volume one and contains much in the way of the practical working of astral and talismanic magic. Planetary and Zodiacal magic and full instructions for invoking the related spirits are provided along with all the requisite materials needed; stones, plants, inks, colors, incenses, talismans and the invocations.
In addition to this are many anecdotes relating to Arabic and pre-Islamic magical lore, including the writings of Ibn Wahshija, the Nabataeans, Sabians, Chaldeans and Assyrians. Of particular note is the magical plant and mineral lore from the Nabataean Agriculture, which portray ancient practices of pagan Iraq.
The trade cloth edition will be $50, and the deluxe black leather edition limited to 500 copies will run $130.
For more information and to order, see the Ouroboros Press blog.

Yummy! And well over-due!
I’m certainly excited. I sent an e-mail inquiring how to order it on the weekend, but haven’t heard back yet.
It’s been a challenge to find a decent price on Vol. I though.

Ouroboros Press and pay $150 and never heard from them again.
HAVE email them several times and never got back to me.
Paid by Pal Pal and PP told me that it was too late to get my money back because of the time.
Still wating for book knowing that it will never come and feel that I have been ripp off…
Did you end up having any luck with it in the end?
I have purchased several books from Ouroboros Press. On every occasion, they were a bit long on the shipping dates, but I always received my order(s). On one occasion I called them due to the length of delay and had a pleasant conversation with the publisher with an explanation for the delay. I would recommend that approach to any having difficulties receiving products from this vendor.
