The Black Pullet: An Introduction
The Black Pullet ("La Poule Noire") is a nineteenth century, French, talismanic ritual book and tradition as well as an often-overlooked piece of magical history that continues to influence a large cross segment of different cultures, people and traditions.
What We Are Contributing
In spite of its popularity, up until now the Black Pullet has only seen hastily thrown-together reprints, often riddled with typos, none of which offered any additional research or information into the book itself. This campaign is to help us publish 2 new books on the subject, which will be the gold standard of the Black Pullet tradition for decades to come. We are also offering 2 new ritual circle cloths based on descriptions in the book as well as expanded and clarified magical instructions to finally make this a workable magical system, after 2 centuries of confusion.
Why 2 Books?
These two new books serve two different purposes.
The first of the two books is called “The Black Pullet Grimoire: Secrets of the Sage of the Pyramids,” and it is specifically designed as a manual for use in your temple. It is a small, full-color hardback book with a sewn-in bookmark. It is small in size and concise, with all of the extraneous material removed. As practicing magicians, we are well aware that large books can sometimes overtake your altar space during a working, so we designed this book with practical ritual use in mind. It has the instructions clearly laid out for each of the 20 talismans and rings, with the prayers and magical words in bold and any hand gestures or other magical instructions clearly indicated. It is also the first time that all 20 of the Black Pullet talismans will have been published in FULL COLOR. This small, hardcover, temple manual is being limited to 50 copies only (if a few more copies are needed to fill orders from this campaign, we will print those, as well, but following this fund-raising campaign, this small, full-color hardcover, temple manual will be put out-of-print).

The second book, a paperback, is called “A Modern User’s Guide to the Black Pullet,” and it contains the entire text of the Black Pullet in a new translation; however, it doesn’t just contain the text of the original book. It is the first and only book on the subject to contain an extended introduction which includes not only historical information regarding the publishing history and sources, as well as confusion over several related texts, but it also debunks several common myths and misconceptions about the original text. Also included is a lengthy section on magical instructions for performing advanced rituals of this sort; what kinds of preparations should be made; what sorts of magical tools are needed and so forth. There are also never-before-published ritual instructions for use with the Black Pullet. Regarding the ritual directions included in the book, the savvy ritualist will know how to adjust the instructions for other rituals, and as thus, it's quite an invaluable section of writing in its own regard. This book, “A Modern User’s Guide to the Black Pullet,” is being offered as an unlimited paperback, which will be available for years to come, in our hopes of it aiding future generations of magical practitioners.

How You Can Help
You can help offset our printing costs by pre-ordering either or both of these new books, as well as the 2 newly created circle cloths (based on the diagrams in the Black Pullet), which have been previously unavailable.

The first of the two circles is a 4-foot circle cloth, with a red border around the circumference. This circle is done in the classic style of a Grand Magical Circle, as seen in many of the French texts of the time. The version we are offering matches exactly the version featured in the Black Pullet.

The second of the two circles is a larger, 6-foot circle cloth, featuring a gold-colored ouroboros which hugs the circumference of the entire circle. The version we are offering matches exactly the version featured in the Black Pullet. We have smartly designed it large enough, in order to be able to put the slightly smaller 4-foot circle inside the larger one, if so desired.

We are also offering the full selection of Black Pullet rings & talismans, at a greatly reduced price, for those who may want to help further (or simply take advantage of the sale!).
Magical Ritual Tools
The Black Pullet magical tradition is a collection of 20 talisman & ring sets, each designed with a different magical goal in mind. All 20 of these are being made available at a reduced price, for the duration of this fund-raising campaign. For those who may have previously read the book, you'll know that 2 different ritual circles are mentioned in the text (along with diagrams of the circles). As mentioned above, we are also making ritual circle cloths of these 2 designs available for the first time, for any individuals who want to employee them for use, in their personal temples.

The 20 Black Pullet Sets
This is a list of all 20 Black Pullet ring & talisman sets, which you’ll need to choose from, if you choose a perk which includes one (or more) of these sets. Each set includes one ring & talisman which were designed to be used together. We have made these items exactly to the specifications described in the Black Pullet. Each talisman is about 3.75-inches in width and embroidered on satin in their designated colors. The ring is a standard men's 11.5, made of bronzed-steel, as described in the text and contains the secret symbols (different for each ring) on the underside of the ring itself. In the photograph, they can be seen in numerical order, from left to right and top to bottom:
#1 Conjures the celestial and infernal spirits.
#2 Gives love from women.
#3 Discovers treasures.
#4 Reveals hidden secrets and lets you penetrate everywhere unseen.
