Colin Dunford Wood had an extraordinary war. He was only one of two survivors of 60 Indian army recruits who joined the RAF in WW2 where, despite his poor eyesight and having to cheat on his medical, he went on to fight in four theatres of war: the North-West Frontier, Iraq, Burma and Germany.This first volume contains a unique record of two little-known campaigns: the fight against the Fakir of Ipi on the North West Frontier; and a rare first-hand account of the Battle of Habbaniya in Iraq, an episode that came very close to driving a wedge through the heart of the British Empire at one of the most perilous junctures of its history. Just 39 trainee pilots and their RAF instructors, in ancient biplanes, stood between the Iraqis and the Luftwaffe, and Britain's Middle East oil supply. Pilot cadet Colin was one of them.

" This really is a pantheon for the present day: up-to-date technowizardartwork, a commentary which soars over millennia of tradition, picking outwhat is useful and relevant at the present, and icons which sum up whatdeities from the whole span of Western and not-so-Western culture havecumulatively come to mean. This is a book to which goddesses and gods,historically so sensitive about their images, should be happy to belong."Professor Ronald Hutton - Fellow of the British Academy" Not content to release a new grimoire, the Chancellor of Arcanorium College has produced three. Oh, also, one of them is a Necronomicon.Elemental, Planetary, and Lovecraftian grimoires are joined by an accompanying tome of digitally and painstakingly rendered icons. The Portals of Chaos, and its Chaobala systemisation, marks a particularly cohesive collection of Carroll's work. But it also contains much exciting new material. Exploration of bi-planetary sorcery - a central component of Renaissance magic somewhat absent in modern occult discourse - is a particularly important feature.Epoch is a useful resource both for those just starting out and for experienced magicians. There is something here to excite and challengeoccultists of many different dispositions and practices. " Alexander Cummins - Author of 'The Starry Rubric'"The enormous scope of the theory expounded within, coupled with the extraordinary pictures (which are better than anything of this ilk since Freida got down with her paintbrushes), provoke many thoughts as well as providing a neat summary of some complex ideas. Simultaneously a history and a prediction, it casts a spell covering spacetime and beyond, allowing your magick to have results." Nikki Wyrd -Author of 'The Book of Baphomet'Pulled together, it is a fantastic cohesion of ideas in need of cohering, doubly so because the cohesion makes no claims to antiquity and doesn't have to fit with either Neoplatonic emanations or Sanskrit body centres. Getting your head around the Chaobala is getting your head around a substantially updated magical cosmology. If that kind of thing is your jam, this kind of book is your toast. Gordon White - RunesoupWithout a doubt, the Epoch will have a great influence on the chaos magick paradigm and modern magick in general for years to come. I think every magician, even if they have their own correspondences, should examine the Chaobola system for its elegance and breadth. James Wilber - Scroll of Thoth
