Mandrake of Oxford is a specialist independent publisher based in Oxford, England,[2] primarily known for the publication of "hands-on" books for occult practitioners.[3] The company was started in 1986 under the name Golden Dawn Publications,[4] but changed its name to Mandrake upon the publication of Sexual Magick by Katon Shual (a pen-name of founder Mogg Morgan[5]) in 1988.[6] Mandrake publishes texts on Hermeticism, magick, occulture, Qabalah, sex magic, tantra, and Thelema.[6]

In 1992 Mandrake published Aleister Crowley's The Equinox, Volume I, Number 1 to 10.[7]

Founder

Mandrake's founder, Mogg Morgan, when interviewed by occultebooks, said that he chose the name in 1987 as an homage to Aleister Crowley (see Mandrake Press) and that he prefers to publish new writers who are continuing to develop the Thelemic tradition.[8]
