Keith’s book is one of a series of short small format books published in the UK in the late 1980s and 1990s by Pentacle Enterprises. Long since out of print these publications are concise guides to witchcraft and Magick from renowned authors such as Morgan and Gerald Gardner.

Some of Keith’s views can, at times , come across as a tad old fashioned by today’s standards but his work is nonetheless considered important and relevant to today’s practitioners. In this book he discusses the way our Solar System and its planets can be used in magick by the use of ritual, astrology, numerology and sigiils.

The book is easy to follow , clear and has the original artwork including the magical squares for each character planet.

Keith Morgan associated with authorship—particularly in niche spiritual, occult, and witchcraft topics—appears to be a British writer (often linked to Wales/UK publications) who produced numerous booklets and books on magick, paganism, and related esoteric subjects in the late 20th century.

This Keith Morgan is noted on platforms like Goodreads and Waterstones for titles such as:

•  Making Magickal Incenses & Ritual Perfumes (one of his most popular works, focusing on crafting incenses for rituals)

•  Rune Magick

•  How to Use a Ouija Board: The Truth About the Use of Ouija Boards and the Way in Which They Can be Used Properly

•  The Truth About Witchcraft: A True Account of the Beliefs and Practices of Witches Today

•  Alternative Wicca: The Expansions of Consciousness Regarding Natural Magick and Its Application in Contemporary Wiccan Practices

•  Crystal Magick (exploring the metaphysical properties and uses of crystals)

•  Simple Candle Magick and other spellcraft guides

His works are practical guides to witchcraft, natural magick, divination tools, and pagan practices, often aimed at beginners and practitioners. Many are short booklets or small-press publications from publishers specializing in occult topics

Interestingly, there is a librarian note on Goodreads indicating that “Keith Morgan” may be a pseudonym used by Kimberly Morgan (or Kimberley Morgan), who edited the “Deosil Dance” journal and claimed initiations into Alexandrian and Gardnerian Wiccan lineages. This suggests the author’s output was part of the broader modern witchcraft revival scene in the UK.
