International therapists and teachers share their insights and
experience, showing how their work has been influenced and guided
by the vision of the enlightened mystic Osho. This book is a
journey through a kaleidoscope of different therapeutic methods
aligned around the essential importance of meditation and love for
healing and spiritual development.
The Book of Black Magic is Arthur Edward Waite's magnum opus of
occult lore; this edition contains the author's original icons,
symbols, seals and illustrations. The first part is entitled ""The
Literature of Ceremonial Magic."" Here, Waite examines the
ritualistic traditions which have surrounded the occult movement
for centuries. He notes various texts, and how they each had a
bearing upon the practice of the occult; of magical ceremony; and
the phenomena of spirit summoning. The second part, ""The Complete
Grimoire,"" concerns how those who practice black magic and occult
ritual become versed in the craft. The stringent physical and
mental requirements, and the need to practice a spiritual
attunement and inner ablution, is detailed. Astronomical knowledge
of the planets and their movements is a necessity, as is possession
of a variety of instruments, plus a deep knowledge of the various
symbols and scripts used in the occult craft.
Supporting three wives, twelve children, and assorted relatives,
Mohan Rai is a thoroughly modern man, convinced he's escaped an
outmoded duty to follow his father as shaman to his Bhutanese
village. But the gods and spirits, ancient protectors of the tribe,
have other ideas.
Dishonored and vengeful, they enter his dreams and haunt his
days, destroying his business, his health, his sanity, and finally,
his freedom.
Based on Mohan's letters from prison, this true account by his
first Western initiate will transform your worldview.
"Ellen's retelling of Mohan Rai's first-hand account of his
shamanic apprenticeship in Bhutan is a valuable contribution to the
preservation of this ancient knowledge." ―Michael Harner, Ph.D.,
author, "The Way of the Shaman and Founder, Foundation for Shamanic
Studies"
"I was fascinated. Like "Autobiography of a Yogi," Mohan Rai's
story shares much wisdom. Portraying his training from childhood in
the ancient, mystical traditions of the shaman, this book brings a
hopeful vision I will carry into my everyday life forever...a
reminder of the mysteries that sustain our lives and how little we
know of them. The message runs deep." ―Hal Zina Bennett, Ph.D.,
author, "Spirit Animals and the Wheel of Life: Earth-Centered
Practices for Everyday Living"
