The Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, by Henry Cornelius
Agrippa and unnamed others, is considered one of the cornerstones
of Western magic, and the grimoires it contains are among the most
important that exist in the Western tradition. For more than three
hundred years, this mysterious tome has been regarded as difficult
or even impossible to understand--until now. Occult scholar Donald
Tyson presents a fully annotated, corrected, and modernized edition
of Stephen Skinner's 1978 facsimile edition of the original work,
which was six tracts published as one volume in 1655. For the first
time, these classic works of Western magic have been rendered fully
accessible to the novice practitioner, as well as occult scholars
and skilled magicians. Tyson presents clear instruction and
practical insight on a variety of magic techniques, providing
contemporary magicians with a working grimoire of the arcane. -

Mountains form the most spectacular creations on the planet and
cover such a large amount of Earth's landmass that they can be seen
clearly from outer space. Mountains are also a reminder that humans
count for nothing in the greater scheme of things. They were formed
by tectonic plate upheavals of such magnitude that the fossilised
remains of prehistoric sea-creatures can be found on mountains
tops; in fact, many Himalayan rocks were originally sediments on
the primordial Tethys Ocean floor. In this first of the Sacred
Landscape series Melusine Draco looks at ways of connecting with
the genii locorum that inhabit the caves and mountains of our
world. A companion volume to Sacred Landscape: Groves and Forests
and Sacred Landscape: Lakes and Rivers.
A collection of essays, lectures, short stories, and exhortations
from the Church of Satan's "Black Pope", whose defiant hedonism and
indulgent rituals have sold over a million books--The Satanic
Witch, The Satanic Bible, and Satanic Rituals. La Vey was featured
in Rolling Stone in September 1991.
The Aetherius Society has, since its inception, been instrumental
in making known the great teachings of the cosmic masters to the
present Aquarian Age. Now the society is still further privileged
by being chosen as the organisation through which Jesus Himself
gave the sacred truths known as the twelve blessings. In The Twelve
Blessings, Jesus, operating from His own shining planet, Venus, has
again given to Earth great teachings on the eve of the new cosmic
cycle -- the Aquarian Age. These teachings, given as actual
blessings, are an extension of those He gave 2000 years ago. Here
are mighty cosmic truths given with a simplicity which is the
hallmark of the true understanding found only in the consciousness
of a great Avatar. Humanity needs this power, this teaching, this
cosmic love, in order to survive the ordeal of coming painful
experiences.
As a modern version of one of the greatest classics of esoteric
literature, this book is rich in symbolism with a narrative and
visual manifestation that will mesmerise the reader. Simultaneously
simple and complex, this work will help open wide the door of
knowledge. Each chapter is accompanied by an image whose graphic,
enigmatic and archetypal form artistically represents the infinite
wisdom that the work possesses. These optical illusions give the
reader a better visualization of the universe and how immensely
infinite it is, in addition to how imperceptible it may be in the
eyes of the human being...
