The goal is, as Gordon writes, the restoration of context.To this end, White applies his globally-recognised data and demographics skills to realise a groundbreaking work of truly interdisciplinary research. Utilising mythological, linguistic and astronomical data to reconstruct palaeolithic magical beliefs, he maps them to the human journey out of Africa; explores which aspects of these beliefs and practices have survived into the Western tradition; and what the implications (and applications) of those survivals may be for us. Written for a magically literate and operative audience, Star.Ships displays the flair, wit and engagement with evidence that adherents of his runesoup blog have come to expect from Gordon. He deftly handles vast time scales and cosmologies to build his case; avoids the pitfalls of alternative historians with a refreshing absence of dogma or wishful thinking; and, in a masterful deployment of the latest research, simultaneously questions outworn dominant narratives and is not afraid to champion the work of independent researchers and entertain forbidden discourses. It is exactly what chaos magic should be.Göbekli Tepe, the Pyramids and Sphinx, Nabta Playa, Gunung Padang, Easter Island and Sundaland are some of the points spangled across a work of truly cosmic scope. Star.Ships beckons those who are willing to engage in the adventure to follow the great river of history that flows into and out of an ocean of stars. Minds will be blown.

    Working at the intersection of spiritual experience and depth psychology, this manual is a modern interpretation and rendering of the traditional symbols and processes of alchemy into a workable road-map for Self-realization and transformation.Kindle version available on Amazon;https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089FMX6WD/...Print copy available here: www.spiritualinstinctpress.com

    Print copy available from the Spiritual Instinct Press website:https://www.spiritualinstinctpress.co...From the back cover:"The toad has had a colorful and checkered history with its role in magic and folk-lore. It has simultaneously been seen as mid-wife's helper and devil's familiar. At the same time both life giver and life taker. There are toad rituals to protect property and live stock and toad spells to being sickness and calamity. Toads can be used for love charms or they bewitch an enemy with their evil eye and even cause death. The present work is unique in its comprehensive treatment of the occult history connected to this ambiguous creature. It includes information from many sources that are translated into english for the first timeincluding the entire study by Ernst hentges: 'Die Krote; eine okkultiistisch-kulturgeschichtliche Betractung.' Also included are sections on the complex nature of toad symbolism in both Eastern and Western Alchemy, as welll as thorough-going theoretical and practical treatments of the arcane art of toad magic."

    Lavishly illustrated, The Essential Paul Laffoley documents the evolution of his unique intellectual, spiritual, and artistic approaches. Living and working in a tiny space in Boston he called the “Boston Visionary Cell,” Laffoley became best known for his large mandala-like paintings filled with symbols and texts. Their titles range from the paranormal and arcane, such as The Ectoplasmic Man and The Sexuality of Robots, to the organic, as with Das Urpflanze Haus, to the erudite, including De Rerum Natura, a reference to the Roman poet Lucretius. Whether focused on working with plants to create living architecture or centered on the process of alchemy, these detailed, brilliantly colored works reflect Laffoley’s utopian hopes and transdisciplinary interests: throughout, he aimed to unite the boundless freedom of human imagination with the mathematical precision of the physical world. Nearly one hundred of Laffoley’s works are showcased here along with his accompanying “thought-forms,” texts specific to each painting that comment on its particular content. Together with an introduction by editor and gallerist Douglas Walla, a biography by fellow artist Steven Moskowitz, and essays by scholars Linda Dalrymple Henderson and Arielle Saiber, this book is a long-awaited celebration of the theories, writings, and artworks of an extraordinary mind.

    You must have heard of the two great epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The Mahabharata states that there are eighteen Puranas and also names three of them, the Markandeya Purana, the Vayu Purana and the Matsya Purana. Although the Ramayana does not mention any Puranas by name, the word Purana is used several times. This means that the composers of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata were familiar with the Puranas. The Puranas are thus fairly ancient texts. Fourth in the series is herewith.

    It is hidden and forbidden knowledge about our true origins, the greater family of man and the destiny of Earth to join its ancient ancestors in peace. There is a war going on between those who are self-serving and those in service to others. There will come a time very shortly where all will have to choose which side of the fence they will act out their final days. As the Hopi prophecies stated there will be a separation of worlds. Those who chose self service and misuse technology, those who act against Universal Law and those who act in a way that is harmful to humanity and the Earth will not see the next world. Those who choose service to others living a life in harmony with each other and nature will continue. The Earth is ascending. If we are going to go with her we have to become frequency specific and match her ascension process. We have to rise to the occasion, heal and release the past, shift from reactionary mind to creationary mind. This is a destiny no man can stop. It is as if the Supreme Intelligence what some call the Creator has said, “It is finished, time to graduate".

    The relationships between the mineral kingdom and the human kingdom are as old as life itself, for the mineral kingdom--comprised of beautiful crystals, dense rocks, sands, clays, and everything in-between--is the very foundation upon which life developed on Earth. Supporting humanity through the eons, these teachers offer curative and restorative properties for healing as well as powerful guidance to catalyze spiritual growth.Integrating gemstone lore from around the world with modern mineral science, Nicholas Pearson guides readers on a journey into the inner realm of the mystery teachings of the mineral kingdom, a journey that mirrors the soul’s path to perfection. He reveals the archetypal wisdom embodied within 7 essential crystal and gemstone mentors--obsidian, jade, lapis lazuli, emerald, quartz, amethyst, and diamond--examining each stone’s mythological, historical, and cultural associations in tandem with their crystalline structure and chemical composition. He explores each stone’s healing and spiritual properties, providing practical exercises, esoteric revelations, and meditations on the specific spiritual work each stone archetype supports. Obsidian, for example, is the stone of initiation, revealing our shadow side and guiding us to places in need of light. Diamond, the final perfected stone of the seven, illuminates Divine Love, purifying us and leading our consciousness to enlightenment, cutting through any vestiges of fear or illusion because it is the hardest, sharpest, most luminous teacher the mineral kingdom has to offer.Enabling each of us to harness the power of stones for spiritual evolution and healing, this guide to the mystery teachings of the mineral kingdom shows how the ancient call to evolve with the crystals and stones that surround us lives on in an unbroken legacy.

    The path articulates the ultimate quest for meaning, which seeks to pass through the clutter of the mind’s conceptual associations to nakedly and directly recognize the innate essentiality of all things known as the light of En (no) Sof (end), or the Infinite. Most mainstream conventional schools of Kabbalah hold such a radical aspiration to be inapproachable at best, and heretical at worst. • The work introduces six stages that articulate how the mind breaks through its own restrictive habitual reflexes to awaken to the ground of En Sof, which is the mind’s essential nature • Each stage is illustrated by the author’s own original works of art and line diagrams • Draws upon obscure sources such as the 13th-century Kabbalistic text "Fountain of Wisdom", various alchemical and gnostic texts, and the writings of Isaac the Blind The author reveals how meaning never remains static—its nature is to move, transmit, and display—yet its precious potential becomes buried under layers of mental constructs. He explains how the mind’s habits and reflexes impose structures of containment that try to make sense out of phenomena, but these very structures actually obscure their essence completely. Smith’s experiential path to gnostic awakening reveals how, in the wake of the lesser concerns of the conceptual mind, primordial purity shines in resonances of vast poetic beauty, if a sensibility of wonder, awe, and delight is cultivated.Contemplation begins with intellectual understanding. As contemplation deepens, the mind shifts from the accumulation of data to the unfolding of direct gnostic apprehension. This dissolves the idea that outer and inner or personal and cosmic distinctions exist, allowing phenomena to return to its basis as a single, uninterrupted continuum. As the mind becomes dwarfed by the sheer immensity of this vast wholeness, the character of meaning begins to change. Meaning’s fullness shapes the mind rather than the mind’s reflexes and habits shaping meaning. The fullness opens beyond the experiences the mind relies upon to define both itself and the world, but paradoxically only arises within those experiences as their basis. Once this basis is recognized as the root of the paradox, the awakening ground becomes clear. Offering a step-by-step analysis to the ecstatic aspects of contemplative revelation, David Chaim Smith explores how to ride the razor’s edge of the paradox to coax the mind from the sleep of habituation towards the culmination of gnosis. Although the process is described within the traditional symbol system of kabbalah, its import is a truly radical exponent of extreme mysticism.

    What is this human mental ability that can create such marvels due to its Consciousness? What is this Consciousness that has so perplexed the great philosophers of all time? What makes a person himself and not another, completely different individual? What are the various levels of Consciousness? Is it true that the Consciousness of every person is infinite? And above all, why do the greatest minds in modern physics maintain that the Consciousness is also part of the universe? These are some of the questions that this book attempts to answer with the helping hand of contemporary science that shall aid in the understanding of one of the greatest mysteries of mankind: the Consciousness of man.

    This Teaching will empower you to transform yourself and the world through awakening the omnipotent power hidden in your heart.Existing since time immemorial and called Surya-Vidya in antiquity, this Teaching taught the most worthy people about the sacred meaning of the heart as the sun of their universe — an inexhaustible source of perfect wisdom and divine power. However, humanity was not ready to accept the prevailing role of the heart. Therefore, the Teaching of the Heart has been kept secret and remained the prerogative of only the chosen few — those spiritual teachers who have proclaimed the omnipotence of the pure and loving heart.The time has come to awaken humanity to the almighty treasure we possess because its infinite possibilities can radically change not only individual lives, but also the entire suffering world for the better. This mission has been undertaken by the Greatest Teacher known as the Great Heart — the Lord of Love and Compassion, the King of the legendary kingdom of Shambhala hidden in the Himalayas. He is the Messiah awaited in all religions but under different names: Maitreya, Christ, Mahdi, Kalki Avatar, and so on. Before coming into the world, He has given The Teaching of the Heart , making it accessible to everyone for daily use in modern life. Employing a spiral approach, the inspirational and uplifting books of The Teaching of the Heart series will reveal your heart’s secret powers and cover a wide range of topics from everyday life to travels within the Universe. Through the books published so far, you will:• learn everything you have ever wanted to know about the Coming of the Messiah and receive His first teachings that will be expanded in the following books (Book 1)• experience the Divine Miracle that was predicted by Edgar Cayce long ago and came true but remained wholly unnoticed by humanity (Book 2)• understand the principles of creating a heart-centered society that will help you build good relationships with other people (Book 3)• discover the laws governing the Universe and how your own heart is connected with the Heart of the Cosmos (Book 4)• find out about the Secret Government that rules our planet and how you can become one of its colleagues (Book 5)• gain insight into the profound significance and unknown functions of your invisible energetic heart (Book 6) The Teaching of the Heart was written by Zinovia Dushkova, Ph.D., the best-selling and award-winning author of The Book of Secret Wisdom. She continues the spiritual tradition of the hidden Himalayan Masters who guided Helena Blavatsky and Helena Roerich to lead humanity from intellectual knowledge to the divine wisdom of the heart.“The love and light that seem to magically pour from the pages of prose are both beautiful and healing, and speak a message of hope.”— Alyssa Elmore, Readers’ Favorite“Reading the book’s sublime lines led my heart to tremble with joy.

    Recently the focus of a resurgence of interest in the English-speaking world, the Saints CYPRIAN and JUSTINA stand at a crossroads of the Old and New Worlds, and form an intermediary nexus of Christian thaumaturgy and older pagan mysteries uniquely celebrated in European Magic and its permutations world-wide. Our Saints inspire through their patronage both the Devout and the Heretic alike to new sorcerous endeavors, and this volume coheres around Cyprianic history and the magic of the Old World of Europe.Here the dry bones of ink and parchment are given new breath in the living voices of those inspired by our Saints. First fruits upon an old altar, we offer new and original translations of source texts next to explorations of the famed Book(s) of Saint CYPRIAN and cartomancy traditions that arise therefrom, and delve deeper into the patronage of the Saint over necromancers and sorcerers. Yet these are merely the stirrings of the query and current.Cypriana: Old World is the first in a projected series of compilations collectively focusing on the lore surrounding the famed Sorcerer Saint and Saint JUSTINA with a dual focus on the values of historically and mythically situated traditional practices and spirit-led experimentation and innovation. It is also the inaugural publication of the Folk Necromancy in Transmission series, an ongoing exploration of the study and vivification of the Arte across historical, geographical, and cultural contexts.Table of Contents:Opening the Book—Alexander CumminsThe Conversion of St. Cyprian(Book I of The Acts of Saint Cyprian and Saint Justina)—Translated by Matthew BarclayCyprianus Förmaning—Translated by Johannes Björn GårdbäckCyprian Books of Magic in the Scandinavian Tradition—Johannes Björn Gårdbäck‘In the Manner of Saint Cyprian’: A Cyprianic Black Magic of Early Modern English Grimoires—Alexander CumminsSearching for Cyprian in Portuguese Ethnography—José Leitão‘Seven Years The Sea Thou Roamed’: Cyprianic Ritual and Divination—Jake Stratton-KentOn Saint Cyprian, Translation, and Poetics—Jennifer Zahrt interviews José LeitãoAn Afterword—Jesse Hathaway Diaz
