You are now able to purchase my new book, Abramelin and Lockdown – a paper presented to the Welsh Occult Conference 2025 in both Paperback and Kindle ebook from Amazon. This is short precis of my experiences during 2020, which formed the basis of my longer work Conjuring Demons for Pleasure and Profit: an Abramelin memoir. I decided to publish this paper in response to people who expressed interest in my talk at the Welsh Occult Conference, but were not able to attend in person on the day.

From the back cover:

Novelist and writer on the occult ALEX SUMNER undertook the Abramelin Operation from April to October 2020, and subsequently wrote a book describing his experiences in detail: “Conjuring Demons for Pleasure and Profit: an Abramelin Memoir” (2022).

In this paper, which he presented to the Welsh Occult Conference at Gregynog Hall, 16th May 2025, he presents an overview of his experiences, including five years’ worth of insights, and a survey of popular misconceptions about Abramelin.

Because this is a short publication, it is not priced as highly as my other works. To purchase, please follow one of the following links:

Out now – CONJURING DEMONS FOR PLEASURE AND PROFIT: An Abramelin Memoir, by Alex Sumner

Announcing the new book by Alex Sumner:

Conjuring Demons for Pleasure and Profit: An Abramelin Memoir is published by Thoth Publications and is available worldwide from Amazon and all good bookstores. To quote from the back cover:

“DURING THE YEAR 2020, the COVID-19 Pandemic affected people across the world in a number of different ways … I personally chose to use the time to carry out a lengthy Magical Ritual to invoke an Angel and subsequently summon and bind all the Demons of Hell.”

In 1996 as a young man, Alex Sumner brought a copy of Mathers’ The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, made most famous by the occultist Aleister Crowley. Alex left it lying on his bookshelf for almost a quarter of a century … until the pandemic lockdown caused him to work from home on full-pay – and enabled him to complete the Abramelin Operation.

IN THIS BOOK YOU WILL DISCOVER:
• The magical diary of a magician who performed the Abramelin Operation for six months, right through to its exciting end.
• What the Operation is, how it is performed and what to expect from “Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.”
• Why most books about Abramelin are full of mistakes, and how you can work out the truth for yourself.
• Worked examples of how to make use of the Word Squares to attain fantastic magical effects.
And …
• Why the Abramelin Operation is actually easier than many people seem to think.

Alex Sumner is a novelist and writer on the occult. In 2009 he wrote his first novel The Magus and has gone on to write six novels in total, several short-stories, and numerous non-fiction articles. This is his first full length, non-fiction book. Alex lives with his fiancée in Essex, England.

Budget 2020: VAT on e-books and newspapers scrapped – BBC News


Finally, the Government has listened to me! In a move for which I have been calling for years, VAT on ebooks will be abolished in the UK – in today’s Budget. For some time now print editions were VAT exempt, but electronic versions were not, hence driving up the cost of ebooks, and punishing authors who rely on the sale of Kindle editions of their books – like me, for example!

Unfortunately, it will not take effect for another nine long months! Come on, do it now, people need something to read whilst they’re laid up in bed, self-isolating themselves!

Current Work

Taromancer, by Alex Sumner – my 2014 novel.

You will next see a brand new novel from me this May – entitled Eternal Witch. It’s all ready, but I have chose a May launch date to give me enough time to get my publicity in gear. And because I figured it was the most auspicious time Astrologically.

Meanwhile, I am currently updating my existing releases – such as my 2014 novel Taromancer, my story about a jaded tarot reader who finds new meaning in her life through the power of Theurgy. Taromancer is available in paperback and on Kindle (click here to download a free Kindle reading app).
