The sexual act is possibly the most potent--and
pleasurable--gateway to the primordial and the divine. From the
Tantric mysteries of Hinduism and Buddhism and the inner alchemy of
Taoism, to the sacrament of the bridal chamber in
Christianity--and, of course, the traditions of Western Magic and
Witchcraft--sex pervades the highest and most secret teachings all
over the world.
In "Sex, Sorcery, and Spirit," Jason Miller draws upon his training
in Eastern and Western mystery schools to produce a frank,
comprehensive exploration of sexual sorcery and spirituality. In
clear language, he will show you how to take your magic to the next
level, teaching you:
How to use the moment of orgasm as a gateway to the highest levels
of spiritual attainment.
The use of sexual elixirs in alchemy and practical sorcery.
How to work with sexual spirits and gods.
The dangers of sex magic and how to avoid them.
A grimoire of sexual spells and rituals.
This daring and tantalizing work throws open the doors into the
realms of sexual magic that have been hidden behind secret orders
and arcane terminology for far too long--until now.
Our world is due for a major spiritual change. A change predicted
by many, from Nostradamus to the Mayans. We cannot foresee the
results of this change without a broader perspective beyond our
limited conceptions. This book takes you behind the scenes into the
world of the Ascended Masters, a world of living planets, space
travel, and advanced sciences. In this world of Operation Earth
Light is a master key that will unlock the door to the New Age. The
author reveals truths never before published, based upon secret
transcripts recorded ten years between the late Dr George King, a
Western Master of yoga, and Ascended Masters.
Filled with exercises and techniques, "An Ascension Handbook" is a
practical "how to" manual for ascending Lightworkers. Here is a
practical manual for breaking old patterns, severing from the
"consensus reality," and aligning with Spirit. With precision and a
dry wit, Serapis reveals in today's language what initiates have
known for millennia and how we can use this knowledge during the
tumultuous years ahead. Since "the fall," we have experienced every
aspect of separation, but now the game is over and it's time to
return to the Source. As we return, we must ascend, and Serapis
shows us how to do it with grace, ease and fun.
An in-depth manual for practicing Fairy Witchcraft including
theology, fairy lore, rituals, holidays, and magical practices.
This book aims to pick up where Pagan Portals - Fairy Witchcraft
leaves off and teach interested people the comprehensive practice
of this system of honoring the Fair Folk and liminal Gods by
blending the old Fairy Faith with modern paganism.
For the entire Pagan community Christmas should be one of the most
sacred times of the year, but the lack of any formal written
liturgy has consigned the festival to a minor observance in the
Pagan calendar. Have a Cool Yule demonstrates that history proves
the festival to be a wholly Pagan event, worthy of being
acknowledged as one of the Great Festivals along with Beltaine and
Samhain. With all the different strands of Pagan custom brought to
the hearth-fire of the Mid-Winter Festival, we all have something
to celebrate in time-honoured fashion, whether our ancestors are
Briton, Celt, Norse or Anglo-Saxon.

a modern mystic's practical guide to life, love and creating a
fulfilling existence, from turning your home into a sacred

rituals, this book will guide you through the process of tapping
into your intuition, intention and self-empowerment to discover and
harness the magic within you.
Throughout history, humans have always been fascinated by drugs and
altered states. Despite the risk of addiction, many have used drugs
as technologies to induce moments of meaning-making transcendence.
This book traces the quest for transcendence and meaning through
drugs in the modern West. Starting with the Romantic fascination
with opium, it goes on to chronicle the discovery of anesthetics,
psychiatric and religious interest in hashish, the bewitching power
of mescaline and hallucinogenic fungi, as well as the more recent
uses of LSD. It fills a major gap in our understanding of
contemporary alternative and in the study of countercultures and
popular culture. Today we are seeing increased social and
scientific attention to both the positive and the negative effects
of psychoactive drugs, particularly following the legalization of
marijuana for medicinal and/or recreational use in some US states,
as well as court cases involving the sacramental use of drugs. This
fascinating and wide-ranging exploration of the controversial
relationship between drugs and spirituality could not be more
timely.
A shaman can serve as a healer, storyteller, and a keeper of
wisdom-but most of all, teaches Sandra Ingerman, "Shamans radiate a

shamanic way-empowered by purpose, focus, and a deep connection to
the spiritual dimensions. "Shamanism remains so relevant because it

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.

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.
Clear and easy to follow, Spells for the Solitary Witch explains
how to prepare and cast spells 87 spells in all together with the
materials needed for each spell and the incantations to say that
will ensure the best results. Tailored to the needs of solitary
witches, Holland suggests alternatives to hard-to-find ingredients,
as well as directions about where to find specific ingredients
crucial to a spells success.
From black magic and Satanism to Gnostic sects and Gurdjieff's
Fourth Way, the left-hand path has been linked to many practices,
cults, and individuals across the ages. Stephen Flowers, Ph.D.,
examines the methods, teachings, and historical role of the
left-hand path, from its origins in Indian tantric philosophy to
its underlying influence in current world affairs, and reveals
which philosophers, magicians, and occult figures throughout
history can truly be called "Lords of the Left-Hand Path." Flowers
explains that while the right-hand path seeks union with and thus
dependence on God, the left-hand path seeks a "higher law" based on
knowledge and power. It is the way of self-empowerment and true
freedom. Beginning with ancient Hindu and Buddhist sects and moving
Westward, he examines many alleged left-hand path groups, including
the Cult of Set, the Yezidi Devil Worshippers, the Assassins, the
Neoplatonists, the Hell-Fire Club, the Bolsheviks, the occult
Nazis, and several heretical Sufi, Zoroastrian, Christian, and
Muslim sects. Following a carefully crafted definition of a true
adherent of the left-hand path based on two main
principles--self-deification and challenge to the conventions of
"good" and "evil"--the author analyzes many famous and infamous
personalities, including H. P. Blavatsky, Faust, the Marquis de
Sade, Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner, Anton
LaVey, and Michael Aquino, and reveals which occult masters were
Lords of the Left-Hand Path. Flowers shows that the left-hand path
is not inherently evil but part of our heritage and our deep-seated
desire to be free, independent, and in control of our destinies.
Undiluted Romani lore regarding the forbidden knowledge of seduction and manipulation. The late Anton Szandor LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, may be the most notoriously familiar for his Satanic Bible, but The Satanic Witch best reflects the discoveries Anton made in his younger days working the carny shows and Mitt Camps. This is undiluted Romani lore regarding the forbidden knowledge of seduction and manipulation.

Paul Foster Case founded the Builders of the Adytum (the BOTA), a
mystery school that still teaches students from all parts of the
world. In this wound-breaking book, he presents a careful
interpretation of the principal Rosicrucian manifestoes -- the Fama
