Star.Ships: A Prehistory of the Spirits


Gordon White - 2016
    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.

The Tao of Craft: Fu Talismans and Casting Sigils in the Eastern Esoteric Tradition


Benebell Wen - 2016
    Fu talismans are ideograms and writings typically rendered on paper and empowered by means of invocations, ritual, and transferences of energy, or Qi. Talismans can be used for many purposes, such as strengthening or weakening personality characteristics, finding love, earning more money, or easing emotional tensions in the home. The Tao of Craft shows how metaphysical energy can be harnessed to amplify, strengthen, weaken, dispel, or block other metaphysical energy and to rectify perceived imbalances in the material plane. Supported by an abundance of detailed charts and images, this book serves as a step-by-step handbook that gives readers the knowledge and confidence to craft their own Fu talismans for personal empowerment. Wen, author of Holistic Tarot, delves into historic and cultural contexts of the Fu, from the neolithic period of Chinese history to contemporary practices of esoteric Taoism. Providing a solid foundation in the principles of Eastern spellcrafting, she highlights the blending of Taoist metaphysical practices with Western approaches to magic by pointing out eclectic, integrating, and harmonizing facets from other cultures and religions. Historically, Fu talismans were used by medieval Chinese for alleviating illness; averting misfortune, magical attacks, and curses; defending against assaults; and avoiding poverty. This book shows Western practitioners that the skill and knowledge to develop an interactive relationship with spirit realms are still available to them today, and serves as a practical handbook for accumulating Qi energy from sources in the environment and channeling it in concentrated form into their own Fu talismans."

Wicca Moon Magic: A Wiccan's Guide and Grimoire for Working Magic with Lunar Energies


Lisa Chamberlain - 2016
    For millennia, the Moon has been associated with many central concerns of human existence: love, passion, fertility, mystery, death and rebirth, and the afterlife, just to name a few. It’s no wonder that this celestial body is the domain of the Goddess in so many traditions! Wiccans know that the Moon influences all of us, whether we realize it or not. Yet it’s not always clear what this means in the context of our day-to-day lives. The focus on the New Moon and Full Moon throughout so much of Wiccan and Pagan lore can leave the impression that the Moon’s significance is limited to these times. But in fact, each phase of the lunar cycle offers particular energies that you can attune with and harness for your specific magical goals. This book is for anyone wanting to learn more about the connections between the Moon and the practice of magic. While much of the information comes from a Wiccan perspective, and it is designed to include newcomers to Wicca, the broader focus of Moon Magic provides a rich foundation for enhancing your personal practice of magic through working with lunar energies. Foundations of Lunar Magic Many books about Wicca and magic will tell you that the waxing Moon is a time for attracting and the waning Moon is for banishing, but in reality, there’s much more to it than that. Moon Magic takes an in-depth look at the lunar cycle, providing limitless possibilities for working with these multifaceted energies. The practical elements are accessible enough for beginners, yet those with more magical experience will still find plenty of new ideas, concepts, and tips to enhance their practice. In this book, you’ll find: How the Moon’s energy influences the Earth, animals, and people The core elements of the Moon in Wiccan spiritual practice How the Triple Goddess in each of her aspects—Maiden, Mother, and Crone—aligns with the lunar cycle, and how each aspect can assist you with manifesting your magical goals A detailed breakdown of magical properties of the lunar cycle, beginning with the New Moon and moving through all 9 phases of the Moon’s journey around the Earth Working magic on Blue Moons and Lunar Eclipses Spells for each phase of the lunar cycle, as well as magical recipes, techniques, and correspondences—all focused on making the most out of your connection to the Moon’s amazing power So whether you follow a particular tradition of Wicca, Witchcraft, or another Pagan path, or an eclectic combination of all three—or even if you’re simply just curious!—you will find plenty of useful information within these pages.

The Magick of Influence: Persuade, Control and Dominate with the Forces of Darkness


Corwin Hargrove - 2016
    Discover twenty-three magick rituals for exerting supernatural influence. Working with angels, demons, ancient spirits and gods, you access many powers. The book won't tell you how to create rapport, charm and charisma. There are other books that can teach you those skills. This book gives you magick. Powerful people get where they are by influencing others. Influence individuals and groups. Create trust and convince somebody that you are right. Make somebody find you attractive, and even make somebody care about you. Make another person see you as a leader. When you want to cause disruption, you can sow the seeds of doubt in somebody's mind, so that what once seemed certain becomes uncertain. Create unease, confusion, mistrust. Cause hatred between people that you know. Inspire loyalty and make somebody confess what they have kept secret. There are rituals to make loud people quiet, to silence gossip and to make an unwanted person move away. The rituals can be used to make people fear you, or you can project authority, trustworthiness and charisma. These powers can be used within family situations or to gain an advantage in business or politics. Solve small problems, like noisy neighbors. Land the promotion you've deserved for years. Undermine your competition. Convince the skeptical to fund your projects. The first half of this book uses The Magick of the Calls, which originate from the Greek Magickal Papyri. The second half of this book works with the Demons of Goetia, using a unique and simple method to get results fast. The only equipment you need is pen, paper and courage. If you think it's wrong to influence, or evil to perform magick for your own benefit, then please go buy a book on mindfulness. If you're scared of demons, this might not be for you. If you've got no idea what this magick is, but get the feeling that magick might work, this is going to be fun. If you already love magick, this should give you the all-important power to exert your power over others. By changing the way people see you, and each other, you can manipulate reality.

The Toad in Magic, Sorcery and Midwifery


Ernst Hentges - 2016
    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.

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."

Opening the Doors of Perception: The Key to Cosmic Awareness


Anthony Peake - 2016
    Huxley's title is taken from William Blake's 1793 book The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In this Blake makes the following observation: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern." Opening the Doors of Perception will update Huxley's work and suggest process and procedures whereby man can, indeed, perceive reality in its true glory. The concept of 'the scale of transcendence' is analysed in great detail, and suggests that there is a scale of perceptions whereby the doors of perception are slowly opened and, bit by bit, they reveal the true nature of 'reality' as suggested by most esoteric teachings and mystic traditions. Most human beings perceive the doors as being securely closed. However there are occasions when the doors become slightly ajar and allow fleeting glimpses of what the Gnostics called 'The Pleroma'. For 'normal' people these glimpses are experienced during fleeting 'noetic' experiences. However for others the doors are prized upon by certain neurological processes starting with migraine and progressing through various 'altered-states' such as temporal lobe epilepsy, bi-polar syndrome, autism and finally, when the doors are fully open, schizophrenia.

A Witch's Book of Silence


Karina BlackHeart - 2016
    Silence is the space from which creative impulse flows. In silence we touch the power we call God/dess and become attuned to wisdom beyond our own. We learn to commune with the spirits of land, our ancestors and others of the unseen realms. We enter the ineffable mystery sought by ancient and contemporary mystics alike. Through silent communion we attain ecstatic union with the Divine. The book addresses some of the most pressing and controversial concerns of the Craft as both a modern-day movement and private, religious system. A Witch's Book of Silence is a mirror for us individually and collectively. Here we see reflected our beauty and power as well as our fear and foibles. Divided into three segments. The first defines terms, explores concepts and discusses how and why we resist the practice of silence. The second segment offers practices leading the seeker into the heart of silence where the mysteries are revealed . The final segment offers a glimpse of what awaits us should we dare to steep ourselves in the cauldron of transformation. A Witch’s Book of Silence is born out of decades of studying, practicing and teaching the art of Witchcraft during which time the author noted the impact of the internet on the transfer of once closely guarded information. The Witch's Pyramid became unbalanced as the powers to Know, Will and Dare were highly sought after while Keeping Silent fell out of fashion--a silly, scary and inconsequential relic of the past. The Witch must confront and overcome her fear and resistance to entering the realms of silence. Keeping silent is necessary to build power, perform effective magic and engage deeply with the mysteries. While written from the perspective of a Feri Witch, the concerns, practices and resolutions offered will be equally valuable when applied to any spiritual path requiring the practitioner develop self-awareness, personal integrity, cognizant communication with spirit and the use of meaningful speech imbued with creative force.

Out for Blood: Essays on Menstruation and Resistance


Breanne Fahs - 2016
    Fusing together gender and feminist theory, critical body studies, political activism, and menstrual anarchy, Breanne Fahs illuminates the troubling omissions of menstrual coming-of-age narratives in the museum, the outdated terminology of "feminine hygiene," and the moral panics about blood that erupts from in and outside of our bathrooms, classrooms, and cell phones. Borrowing from a multitude of voices--single moms, trans teenagers, zine makers, menstrual artists, college students, tour guides, French philosophers, and culture jammers--Fahs forcefully argues for a new culture of menstruation, one where the joys, rhythms, and controversies of menstrual cycles collides with the defiant, shameless, and bold new possibilities of menstrual resistance.

Lessons in Magic: A Guide to Making Your Dreams Come True


Philip Carr-Gomm - 2016

But what if we could make magic happen? What if we could do things that actually made these types of experiences occur more often in our lives? And what if there was a book that taught this kind of magic?

Pandemonium: A Discordant Concordance of Diverse Spirit Catalogues


Jake Stratton-Kent - 2016
    While not intended to be the last word, it opens up territory that demands further examination. It starts with the first English translation of a major spirit catalogue and ends with an appendix redefining ‘traditional’ grimoirists. Sandwiched between these is a comparative survey of several important spirit catalogues, which is much more than ‘a dictionary of demons’. Totally geared to emergent practice, leading us away from the prevalent focus on ‘tools and rules’, authors and manuscripts, towards a developing relationship with the dramatis personæ essential to the whole tradition.In PANDEMONIUM Jake Stratton-Kent offers a comparative study of the spirits of Le Livre des Esperitz, the Grand Grimoire, the Book of Offices, the German Honorius, Weyer’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonum, the Goetia of Solomon, Scot’s Discoverie of Witchcraft, and more. In doing so he explores the Trinitas, the spirits of the seven days, the spirit council, the four Kings, eighteen-ness, the Long Text Group, and ghosts in the machine.This is a book about grimoire spirits, and the main view at all times is to clarify the important personalities, their roles and inter-relations, rather than simply focus on relevant historical texts with their dates, authors and impedimenta. To achieve these goals, various technical aspects will only be detailed as sub-topics. These digressions will be interrupted frequently by ‘spirit biographies’ to keep on track. It’s quite dense stuff; be prepared to make more than one pass.While trying to steer away from the books, somehow or other though, their aesthetic remains useful in talking about the spirits concerned. Hence, many tables. The first table compresses into a contained visual form the various aspects of a large submerged territory to be explored in these chapters. It will be the first of many tables and precedes various discussions of convergent and divergent subjects. It is a table about books, to introduce many tables about spirits. The connecting element with these books and various others to be discussed is the dramatis personæ, which exist independently, at least in inter- and extra-textual form, and require a discussion unto themselves.

The Luminous Stone: Lucifer in Western Esotericism


Michael Howard - 2016
    In the popular imagination, the fallen angel Lucifer evokes such concepts as heresy, rebellion, pride, liberation from the bonds of demiurgic oppression, and impetus for human evolution. From his earliest origins, the Proud Angel has been hailed by religious and artistic countercultures as a patron saint of enlightenment his most essential quality embodying overthrow of ignorance and the inspired process of revelation. Allied to ancient Gnostic Christian cosmological conceptions, the fallen angel has also found dominion within occult traditions, folk magic, philosophy, as well as art and literature. Lucifer has also, in many enduring mystical traditions, assumed a female form in the guise of Lucina, Lucia and Diana Lucifera. In his guise as the Serpent of Eden, he bestowed the magical philosophy of the Luciferian Woman, she who was not born of the clay, and was therefore especially receptive to the forbidden powers which would render one as God.

The Testament of Cyprian the Mage: Volume 1 (Encyclopaedia Goetica Book 3)


Jake Stratton-Kent - 2016
    This is the final work in Stratton-Kent’s acclaimed Encyclopædia Goetica series which began with The True Grimoire, a working reconstruction of the Grimorium Verum, and was followed by Geosophia: The Argo of Magic which explored the necromantic Greek origins of Goetia. The Testament of Cyprian the Mage is a fitting climax to this endeavour which has placed the author at the forefront of modern magic with a body of work that is both scholarly and aimed at practical application. All are standalone texts though benefit from being read as aspects of a single thesis: the importance of Goetia as the oldest continuous tradition of Western magic. As JSK affirms: ‘Goetic Magic … if properly understood would regenerate Western magic and underline its immense cultural significance, on a level equal to any spiritual tradition in the world.’ This understanding is clearly given in two volumes of lucid and fascinating exegesis with clear extracts from all the necessary works. The Testament of Cyprian the Mage is an ambitious and far-seeing work, addressing two ends of the magical spectrum: the Testament of Solomon and one version of the Iberian Book of Saint Cyprian. In doing so, key aspects of magical practice are revealed. This work draws upon these texts to create a clear understanding of the practice of grimoire magic, not as a discrete or degenerate subset of ceremonial magic, but one which is integrated with folk magic and witchcraft. In particular we discover a shared dramatis personæ, the infernal pact and a common terrain of Wild Hunt and Sabbat. Within the text we encounter the Chiefs, Kings and Queens of the grimoire tradition; the magical role of the Decans and their stones and plants; lunar magic and magical animals; the gods of Time; the Sibyl and the Hygromanteia; Asmodeus and Oriens; Angelology, Theurgy, Conjunction and the Pact, the Angelic Vice-regent and thwarting Angels; Asclepius, Iamblichus and Neo-Platonism; Paracelsus and the Elemental Spirits; Necromancy, and the principles of spell work. As JSK writes: ‘A primary purpose of this book is to explore the implicit mythology of grimoire spirits and the contexts from which it derives.’ It does far more. This is a fundamental revisioning of magic with profound implications for the magical revival which we are all engaged in.

Steps to the Great Perfection: The Mind-Training Tradition of the Dzogchen Masters


Jigme Lingpa - 2016
    This book is unique because although the lojong teachings of the Kadam tradition are well known, this is the first time the mind-training teachings from the Dzogchen tradition have been presented in an English translation, and most Western scholars and practitioners are unaware that such mind-training techniques even exist in Dzogchen. The contemplations themselves are vividly described, and some unfold as dramatic stories in which the meditator imagines himself or herself as the main character. Thus, they are quite accessible for beginning practitioners.

Practical Astrology for Witches and Pagans: Using the Planets and the Stars for Effective Spellwork, Rituals, and Magickal Work


Ivo Dominguez Jr. - 2016
    Astrology is considerably more than that. It is a sacred science, a highly descriptive symbolic language, and it is also a technology that can be applied to ritual, herbalism, the use of crystals, and much more. But it can be daunting to take on the study of Astrology. After all, it's a field so huge it would take several lifetimes to master it. And that's why Ivo Dominguez, Jr., wrote this book--to provide practitioners of magick with a Pagan perspective on Astrology and the core concepts of Astrology that are most useful to building rituals and creating effective magick. When we look at an astrological chart, what we are actually looking at is a map of the multiple planes of existence summarized and flattened into an understandable diagram--a kind of magickal cartogram. Now, what to do with this map? How can we best use it in our magickal work? That's precisely what you'll discover in the pages of this concise, focused, and expertly presented book.

The Witch's Book of Power


Devin Hunter - 2016
    He doesn't gloss over the soul-searching work with simple spell ‘bandaids.’ Instead, he offers readings and exercises that empower the witch in mind, body, and soul.”—Courtney Weber, author of Brigid: History, Mystery, and Magick of the Celtic Goddess Ignite the Holy Fire Within -- Become the Witch You Were Meant to Be Witchcraft isn’t always about the search for enlightenment; sometimes it’s about power and the path to obtaining it.

A Shamanic Kundalini Awakening


Brendan Ring - 2016
    I love the raw sharing Brendan offers in this work. This initiatory process, familiar to Shamans and Yogis, takes everything from us that is not serving to elevate our souls, and is so often painful. I enjoyed this book immensely, and identified with so much of what Brendan has shared. I recommend this read either as encouragement to those drawn to walking the path of self-realization, or as disillusionment for those who imagine it to require anything less than the death of unconscious living, and rebirth into awakened reality.Dawn Dancing Otter (Teacher of Shamanic Arts)There is much to contemplate and learn in Brendan Ring's 'A Shamanic Kundalini Awakening.' If the way of the Shaman is calling you, then surely Brendan's profound reflections and the Wisdom Knowledge gained from his personal deep journey experiences will be of help to you and enhance your quest for Truth.Susan Ferguson (Author of Inna Returns)

Beyond Pyramid Power - The Science of the Cosmos II


G. Patrick Flanagan - 2016
    G. Patrick Flanagan wrote this follow-up volume, about which he comments: "Since I wrote my two previous publications on pyramid energy in 1971 (The Pyramid and its Relationship to Biocosmic Energy and Pyramid Power) I have had over four years of additional experience with these unusual energy fields. The results of this research have never been made public. I will reveal for the first time, the results of these discoveries, and details of the construction of the Pyramid Energy Plates. Most of these discoveries were made in a six month period following my trip to the Great Pyramid of Giza in September, 1974. On that trip, I culminated years of research into unusual energies by spending the night in the King’s Chamber of the Pyramid of Cheops. Full details of that exciting night will be given in a forthcoming book. I can reveal that I made contact with a powerful force that has changed my life in drastic ways. Some of my latest findings may tend to contradict a few of my earlier statements on the subject. This is the result of an increased understanding of the mechanics of these energy fields. I have succeeded, since returning from Egypt, in harnessing these elusive energies in practical ways. Energy fields have been produced and transmitted over long distances and detected at a remote receiver. In other words, a new communications technology has been discovered. Pyramid energy has been taken from the realm of the mystical toy, and projected into the infancy of a new technology that could literally change the living condition of man on this planet. I call these new discoveries Tensor Field Devices. A few of these developments are: Tensor Field Voice Communicator; Tensor Field Propulsion; Tensor Field Electro-Catalytic Seed Treatment, which raises the vigor level of seeds from 60% to 80%; and Tensor Field Water Treatment Systems. Additional devices will be described toward the end of this The shape of the pyramid has been experimentally found to have unusual effects on organic media. It was found to mummify meat and other foods, preserving them without decay; improve the flavor of foods and cigarettes; age wine and other drinks; increase the life-span of small animals; improve the growth rate of plants; improve or enhance the meditative state; and keep razor blades from becoming dull! There has been some controversy on this subject as test results are not always consistent. We have found that many variables affect the pyramid’s performance: alignment to the earth’s magnetic fields; electric fields; other objects in the vicinity; and the experimenter’s mind can sometimes influence the results. Sorting out and isolating these variables has been the subject of my research over the years. As my own results were over 90% consistent, I had enough evidence to keep my interest alive. Even N.A.S.A. has realized the importance of the pyramid shape as evidenced by a new patent application showing the use of pyramids and cones as sources of electric power." Of 'Beyond Pyramid Power,' the International Business Connection, Inc. writes, "Excellent insight to magnetic form resonance, tensor fields scalar energies and topological electronics. Flanagan is a true genius and his discoveries continue to subtly shape our world. Fifty years from now, this book will be a classic because it describes lesser-known technologies that will hopefully be second nature to future generations. I am a researcher and have had tremendous results because of the impact of this book, and also other researches of Dr. Flanagan."

Karl Germer: Selected Letters 1928-1962


Karl Germer - 2016

Inevitable What


Sarah Lyn Rogers - 2016
    Featuring gorgeous watercolor illustrations by artist Sirin Thada.These gorgeous poems are haunting, intimate, incantatory. Sarah Lyn Rogers’s intelligence, sensitivity, depth and wit exude from her lines. And she does not waste a word. Her control of craft leads to an explosion of meaning: “muted...And yet expansive.” – Kate Evans, author of Call It Wonder: An Odyssey of Love, Sex, Spirit, and Travel (Coyote Creek Books)Sarah Lyn Rogers’s voice cuts through the clamor of everyday life, not by simplifying it or turning a deaf ear but by opening itself fully to the glorious cacophony. Juxtaposing popular music with Buddhist ritual, quotidian housework with arcane witchcraft, these poems ache to capture the flux and inconsistency of our world, knowing success or failure is secondary to the attempt itself: to make meaning, to tame chaos, above all to connect. “Like pushing a stone upslope sometimes / this need to speak, to explain / exactly what we mean”—Rogers meets this Sisyphean challenge with remarkable poise and music. – Andrew Altschul, author of Lady Lazarus (Harcourt)Sarah Lyn Rogers’s book, Inevitable What, crackles with music and magic and the awareness of unseen mysteries enfolding the most ordinary days. Whether she is calling for rain, washing dishes in a steaming kitchen, or listening to the incantations of a foreign tongue, Rogers’s poems remain fine-tuned to language’s elegant rhythms. They reveal the spells we devise to make meaning of our lives. – Sally Ashton, Some Odd Afternoon (BlazeVOX[books])

A Guide to Celebrating the 12 Days of Yule (Heathen-style!): Folklore, Activities and Recipes For The Whole Family to Enjoy For 12 Days!


Jenn Campus - 2016
     For most Pagans of any denomination, Yule is a high holy season. The ancient festival was a 12 daylong celebration beginning on the eve of the Winter Solstice (known to most Pagans as Yule) and ending at the new calendar year. This celebration was so important in ancient times that it was converted by the Christians to the 12 Days of Christmas. Many Pagans, especially those devoted to the Norse and Anglo Saxon Gods and Goddesses try to find some way to keep these 12 days, yet many are unsure exactly how to celebrate. Social media blows up in the weeks leading up to the Solstice with questions like: How do you celebrate? What do you do exactly? What activities, what rituals, what prayers and celebrations? For the past several years I have been working on this guide in an attempt to answer some of those questions for my own family and for others. This guide is a result of creating family traditions for this special and most sacred (not to mention FUN!) time of year. I put it all together into one little, handy and easy to follow guide, so that you and your family can celebrate the 12 Days of Yule together, with a little inspiration from what our family has been doing. Please enjoy!
