GNOSTICA
Highly valuable information not found elsewhere without intense searching. One copy of this publication can have a price range of $35 to $60 or more depending on who needs to have it. Here are 12 copies even at the low price is quite excellent.
12 issues of “Gnostica” magazine. An invaluable collection of esoteric information.
“Gnostica” was a prominent 1970s magazine from Llewellyn Publications covering the occult, magic, and New Age scene, edited by Carl L. Weschcke, known for its articles and product catalogs before being replaced by Llewellyn's New Times. While the original Gnostica ceased publication around 1980.
I will be listing earlier issues of “Gnostica” in newspaper format in another listing.
…………………………………………………..
This listing is for 12 issues in magazine format. The photos show one photograph of six issues followed by by two photos of the each issue (left to right) and another photo of six issues followed by two photos of each issue (left to right). These magazines are not common and have incredible topics on witchcraft, magic, metaphysical and other occult topics. It was the best publication of it kind.
The owner does not want to break these up and desires to sell them as a collection. If you need more photos or have any questions, please ask.
