Runes have held a special place in the fabric of Northern European, Celtic and Anglo-Saxon cultures. Serving as both a linguistic and mystic device, these ancient symbols reach across the boundaries of time and space to ensnare both the scholar and the seeker in the quest to understand and interpret the messages that they bring. This volume blends the traditional runic meanings with contemporary interpretations to provide a new voice to the runic oracle bringing it forward into the 21st century for beginners and skilled seekers alike.

The Book of Elven Runes contains 40 elfin runes for use as an oracle and as a magical script. These are not based on the Norse runes but are an original system created by the Silver Elves. The book is subtitled A Passage Into Faerie because each rune also advises a Magical Act that the magic wielder can perform to bring hir closer to Faerie. The use of these runes is itself an elfin spell cast in a unique way as each user weaves hir way deeper into the Elfin Realms.

First published in 1882, Robert Hewitt Brown's 'Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy' created a sensation. Well researched and beautifully written, the book reveals the hidden meanings of masonic and other symbols, linking them both to pagan religion and to modern faiths such as Judaism and Christianity. As a highly respected Freemason, (having achieved the 32nd degree), and a diligent scholar of the ancient mysteries, Brown spoke from an almost unique position of authority. 'Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy' lays bare astonishing astronomical explanations for a host of religious allegories and motifs, allowing the reader to reconcile numerous otherwise incomprehensible enigmas. A must-read for both mason and non-mason alike.

It is somewhat curious that among the great number of books on occult science and all forms of divination which have been published in the English language there should be none dealing exclusively with the Tea-cup Reading and the Art of Telling Fortunes by the Tea-leaves: notwithstanding that it is one of the most common forms of divination practised by the peasants of Scotland and by village fortune-tellers in all parts of this country. In many of the cheaper handbooks to Fortune-telling by Cards or in other ways only brief references to the Tea-cup method are given; but only too evidently by writers who are merely acquainted with it by hearsay and have not made a study of it for themselves.

Sigillum Diaboli is a complete guide to Daemonolatry-based sigil divination using both Dukante and Goetic sigil sets. The book includes information on how to make your sigil sets, how to do a reading, and includes the divination meanings of over 85 Daemonic sigils.

This book describes two subjective methods of evaluating what your subconscious actually feels about the words you use in everyday communications, and in spiritual or intellectual activities. The first method demonstrated measures the spacing of your palms in a 'slow clapping' motion, which follows in response to a question. This technique has been used in the pranic healing school of the Philippines to test the state of energy body components, but can equally well be used to gain a response to mental questions in a form of divination. The second method uses an unusual and ancient form of dowsing, once employed for a variety of purposes in Sardinia. Dowsing seems to date back millenia, to when ancient monuments were sited almost inevitably, above underground water sources. This method counts the number of rotations of a Y-shaped plastic tube (in substitution for the traditional forked hazel twig) you are able to make, in response to questions of the type: 'What is the energy of this (place, word, phrase, name)?' - your subconscious prevents further rotations occuring beyond the number which corresponds to its energy relative to other words. The book contains an assessment of a large number of commonly used words, phrases, names, and emotions, and evaluates also the energy scores for numbers in common use. Many of these evaluations were carried out by the author, and hence inevitably, are subjective, though the method has been used successfully by others. For example, trials with Swedish subjects are mentioned, that show persons with a modicum of interest and competence in 'energy fields' are capable of duplicating these results if they are able to extend their auras. What is the connection with the aura? The author's hypothesis is that both methods are measuring the extension of the aura in response to a question held in mind. The significance of the book then, is that it allows people to assess their reaction to the english language, to persons in the media, and to review excerpts from text files to assess the likely impact they will have on the reader.

So help me. THOUSANDS CLAIM MIRACULOUS CURES THROUGH USE OF OLD PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH MAGICAL POW-WOWS. PRACTICED FOR CENTURIES BY DEVOTED CHRISTIANS, POW WOWS HAS BECOME A HIDDEN RELIGION WITHIN A RELIGION DRIVEN UNDERGROUND BY NEEDLESS PERSECUTION. Over 200 Remedies Handed Down From Generation To Generation. For centuries, people have been using the Holy Scripture to induce magical principles. Some of this has come down to us in the magical practices called Pow-Wows. The majority of these ancient techniques have been handed down from generation to generation mostly by word of mouth. Many have no idea that other practitioners of the ancient art even exist. The rise of evangelical Christianity has forced many Pow-Wow adepts to go underground, or even give up practicing altogether. For a long time churches have taught that all magic is inherently evil and that anyone who practices it is to be condemned and possibly even put to death. This has little actually to do with a few verses in the Bible that speak against witches and diviners, and more to do with the churches power base that has held control over the people for centuries. Many so-called "good Christians" would be horrified to know that many common Christian rituals would be considered magic by their overly broad definitions. In fact, the Bible has been used for magical purposes for centuries by people who would never consider themselves as practitioners of magic. Others, however, have fully realized that Pow-Wow fits within the constraints of "sorcery" and have kept the truth to themselves, only allowing immediate family to learn the age-old practice. Pow-Wow first came to the United States when German settlers began arriving in the late 17th century, settling in Pennsylvania. Two distinct groups of German immigrants came to Pennsylvania. The Fancy Germans, or Lutherans, and the Plain or Pietist Germans. The Pietist Germans included members of the Mennonite, Amish, Dunker, and Brethren denominations. Native Americans were present, at least initially, when the Germans arrived and the term Pow-Wow was possibly derived from the early settlers' observations of Indian Pow-Wows. The word may also be a derivative of the word "power" or may come from the Native American Pow-Wow definition meaning "he who dreams." Pow-Wowing includes some charms and incantations dating from the Middle Ages plus elements borrowed from the Jewish Qabala and Christian Bible. Pow-wowing generally focuses on healing minor health problems, the protection of livestock, success in love, and the casting or removing of hexes. For over 200 years, Pow-Wowers have considered themselves to be staunch Christians endowed with supernatural powers to both heal and harm. Using Pow-Wow can be simple or highly complicated and involves the recital of benedictions, Psalms and selected Biblical verses for magical purposes according to Jewish and Christian magical traditions. PUT THE POW WOWS INTO USE FOR YOURSELF, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Here are over 200 remedies. Some very practical to this day. Others a bit fanciful for the era we live in, but certainly of importance as an historical reference as is this entire work. Partial Pow-Wow Index: A certain remedy to stop bleeding; A remedy against slander; A very good remedy for palpitation of the heart; A precaution against injuries; To make a wand for searching for iron or water; A way to obtain things desired; To destroy warts; To gain God's Favor; and many, many more
