Starchild 
Melusine Draco (click for author biography)
Starchild traces the influence of the stellar-based teaching of Egypt, especially as it is manifested by the god Set, on European intellectual and esoteric history since antiquity. Here we find reasserted even today in the writings of Gnostism and Romantic poetry to Freemasonry and the Theosophist movement, Egyptian deities reemerging in ever-surprising imagery. Since ancient times, Egypt has been associated with esoteric practices and beliefs, and regarded as the source of all secret knowledge - but perhaps for the first time we can understand why they believed they really were stardust made flesh.

Reviews :
"This is a book on Stellar Magic which, as Melusine Draco insists, reaches from the inner chthonic planes of the Earth to the outer limits of Space. It shows the very origins of the magic in the times before Time began, and takes us through to its increasingly important relevance today, leaving the reader quite certain that we – in our very essence – were all forged in blistering furnaces deep inside the stars. Unlike most occultists who have a wearying tendency to bend and misinterpret Science in order to create monuments of fragile dogma, Draco uses her very real scientific insight to smash their flimsy edifices to bits, in order to get down to the real foundations of stellar magic. In fact at times it is hard to tell whether she is a quantum-leaping super-string inspired scientist with a vast and sympathetic insight into the depths of Crowleyan magick, or else a woman soaked in the buried, almost-lost Setian traditions of ancient Khem who uses modern science to clear away the aeons of debris. Either way she writes beautifully and with power, gives unexpected insights on each page, and creates for the reader the sort of bubbling excitement caused by her saying something that is – at last - completely new, yet which touches upon things which are very old indeed…" Alan Richardson: Author of Priestess and The Google Tantra
