A step-by-step guide to raising kundalini and embodying the
dynamic, sexual force, that is the Power of Sekhem. Sex is the most
potent force in the universe. A primal power. And sacred sexuality
is a gateway to the divine. Something that the ancient Egyptians
recognised instinctively. In The Magical Sexual Practices of
Ancient Egypt, bestselling author, Judy Hall, offers the reader
powerful sexual magic for the present day. It reveals sexual
secrets hidden for millennia. This jealously guarded secret
doctrine is now available to everyone. The system activates your
creative erotic potential. Kindling the inner and outer mystic
marriages, it is a joining of souls with the divine. Through a
cosmic orgasm that is literally mind-blowing, the process generates
the power to manifest and integrate expanded consciousness into the
everyday world. The system can be used to attract a twin-flame or
make a sacred marriage with an existing partner. The practice can
also be worked alone to invoke an integration with your highest
Self. Crystals support the practice throughout. Accompaniment to
Judy Hall's new novel, The Alchemy of the Night.
The most famous compendium of information on the occult and the first comprehensive work of its kind, this volume originally appeared in 1920. Compiled by Lewis Spence, a scholar of occult-related topics, it organizes a truly vast amount of information into 2,500 dictionary-style entries (many of which run to several pages). These entries encompass both familiar terms ("abracadabra," "poltergeist," "spells," "vampire") and more arcane topics ("Martian language," "bottle imps," "magic darts," "tinker's talk"). Numerous profiles of historical figures with ties to the occult include John Dee, Mary Baker Eddy, and Catherine de Medici. An oft-cited resource and a classic of its genre, this remarkable compilation of history and lore offers an essential tool for a fuller understanding of occult subjects. Index.
Pagan Portals: Australian Druidry works as a supplement to the
study of Druidry and other nature-based spiritual paths as
practiced in Australia. The seasons, animals, plants and ancestral
histories of the land in Australia are quite different from those
of the Celtic lands where Druidry originates. Julie Brett discusses
the difficulties of following a nature-based tradition in an
environment wildly different from Druidism's place of origin, and
offers practical information on how to adapt the practice of
Druidry to suit the energy of the land and respect its spirits and
ancestors.

Continuing the journey begun in his acclaimed book "The Cosmic
Serpent," the noted anthropologist ventures firsthand into both
traditional cultures and the most up-todate discoveries of
contemporary science to determine nature's secret ways of knowing.
Anthropologist Jeremy Narby has altered how we understand the
Shamanic cultures and traditions that have undergone a worldwide
revival in recent years. Now, in one of his most extraordinary
journeys, Narby travels the globe-from the Amazon Basin to the Far
East-to probe what traditional healers and pioneering researchers
understand about the intelligence present in all forms of life.
"Intelligence in Nature" presents overwhelming illustrative
evidence that independent intelligence is not unique to humanity
alone. Indeed, bacteria, plants, animals, and other forms of
nonhuman life display an uncanny penchant for self-deterministic
decisions, patterns, and actions.
Narby presents the first in-depth anthropological study of this
concept in the West. He not only uncovers a mysterious thread of
intelligent behavior within the natural world but also probes the
question of what humanity can learn from nature's economy and
knowingness in its own search for a saner and more sustainable way
of life.
Those who have grown up with Pan as a playmate remember how, back
in the day, it would be possible for a young child to disappear
into the woods with only a dog for company for hours on end without
there being a hue and cry raised in its absence; and it was on
those woodland rides and pathways - summer or winter - that
Melusine Draco often encountered Pan.
The Eleusinian Mysteries were the most prestigious initiation of
the ancient world. The ritual’s secrets were protected by death
vows and have been speculated about for more than 4,000 years. The
nine-day festival was run by a group of women called Melissae, or
“bees”: married women, second only in rank to the Priestess of
Athena Polias, who presided over Athens. They amassed incredible
wealth, fame, and political status. Temple accounts from the period
reveal that it was the priestesses’ money that paid for Greece's
glorious architecture. Fees were earned for sacrifices and granting
access to divinity. In return, the priestess made Greece a
magnificent place to live. Oracles, diviners, soul midwives and
creatrixes of innumerable festivals, these women ensured that the
city-state kept favour with the goddess. They achieved that by
emulating the ways of the world’s most successful matriarchal
community, a bee colony. Herbal textbooks speak of a relationship
between these women and the Lemon Balm herb (Melissa officinalis).
Journey into the past and into the enchanting dreamscape of the
hive with aromatherapist Elizabeth Ashley. A delightful odyssey for
anyone interested in herbal wisdom, ancient Greek history, female
empowerment, and humankind’s greatest allies, the bees.

Colin Wilson's classic work is the essential guidebook to the
mind-expanding experiences and discoveries of the 20th century. His
genius lies in producing a skillful synthesis of the available
material - clarifying without simplifying, seeing the occult in the
light of reason and reason in the light of the mystical and
paranormal. It is a journey of enlightenment. He provides a
wide-ranging survey of the subject, a comprehensive history of
"magic" and an insightful exploration of our latent powers, and
brings his own refreshingly optimistic and stimulating
interpretation to the worlds of the paranormal, the occult and the
supernatural.
