It began with a simple question, sent from an unknown e-mail
address, and it kindled the fires of a quest that would take him on
a journey of discovery spanning several years; a journey that would
lead him closer to the enigmatic secret society known as the Odin
Brotherhood. Continuing a quest for understanding which had been
started by his mentor years earlier, and following a trail of
cryptic clues and mysterious lore, Canadian author Jack Wolf set
out on a journey into the workings of this largely undocumented
secret society. Accompanied by a mysterious informant known only as
Crow, he embarks on a series of adventures that will ultimately
draw him closer to penetrating the history, lore and secrets of
this elder pagan fraternity -- an entity which has existed for
nearly six hundred years.
OCCULT / MAGICIn this wide-ranging view of magic and ritual, Gareth
Knight demonstrates the presence of the Goddess throughout Western
esoteric traditions. From Greek myths and the Mysteries of Isis to
the emergence of the cult of the Blessed Virgin and
seventeenth-century Rosicrucian spiritual alchemy, he shows how the
Goddess--the elemental consciousness of Earth--has revealed herself
in different times and places.Honoring her many guises, Knight
explores the powers of the Goddess as maiden, mother, initiator,
protector, sorceress, and faery queen. Guided meditations on each
of these qualities lead the practitioner into direct contact with
the potent healing energy of the Divine Feminine. The author also
offers rituals, exercises, and other practical tools for
integrating the Western magical tradition with worship of the
Goddess. He shows how we, and our planet, have suffered due to the
repression of the feminine principle. For our own health, and that
of our environment as well, we must recognize the power of the
Goddess within to reconstitute and guide our existence.GARETH
KNIGHT has spent a lifetime unearthing and teaching the principles
of magic as a spiritual discipline and method of self-realization.
He was trained in the esoteric school founded by Dion Fortune and
has been actively involved in the Western magical tradition since
the early 1960s. He is the author of thirty books, including Tarot
and Magic and A Practical Guide to Qabalistic Symbolism. He lives
in England.
