Black Runa

Being the Shorter Works

of

STEPHEN EDRED FLOWERS

Produced for the Order of the Trapezoid

of the Temple of Set

(1985-1989)

From the Introduction:

What you have before you is an anthology of contributions I made to the official internal organ of the Order of the Trapezoid within the Temple of Set. These were published between the years 1985 and 1989. Many of the articles have to do with some aspect of the Northern tradition of magic and initiation— but from the unique angle of the Left-Hand Path.

Black Rûna is designed to allow the general public some access to the genuine ideological and magical world of the Order of the Trapezoid— which I hope will dispel much of the inflammatory nonsense that has been written about this noble Order in the tabloid-type press.
