In his highly anticipated English translation of the ancient Irish
text known as the Lebor Feasa Rnda (Book of Secret Knowledge),
Celtic scholar and historian, Steven L. Akins, has at last made
available to readers the wealth of pre-Christian teachings espoused
by the Druids in this seminal work of pagan religious literature.
Basing his translation on the only extant transcription of the now
lost Black Book of Loughcrew, the actual doctrines of the Celtic
priesthood are finally brought to light in this timeless rendering
of these sacred scriptures. Of the 180 Druidic texts mentioned in
the historic Yellow Book of Lecan as being destroyed by St. Patrick
in his attempt to convert the pagan inhabitants of Ireland to
Christianity, the Lebor Feasa Rnda alone survived as testimony to
the spiritual beliefs and practices of the Celts in their original,
uncompromised form. First transcribed by the Druid Mogh Ruith from
a series of ogham staves long ago discovered in the tomb of Ollamh
Fodhla, one of Ireland's greatest early kings, the Lebor Feasa
Runda records the dispensation of a vast store of esoteric
knowledge received by Ollamh Fodhla from a messenger of the Celtic
gods known as the Tuatha D Danann. Perhaps the most remarkable of
all ancient Celtic texts, the Lebor Feasa Rnda contains not only an
account of the earliest history of Ireland and the relationship of
its inhabitants to the Celtic gods, but it also comprises a full
discourse on the Druidic religion, providing a complete account of
the sacred rites and ceremonies at the heart of this mysterious
faith. Since it was first recorded in the Black Book of Loughcrew,
the Lebor Feasa Rnda miraculously survived for centuries,
travelingacross Europe and passing through the hands of numerous
individuals until it was ultimately acquired by the Ahnenerbe
Forschungs-und Lehrgemeinschaf, who commissioned its translation
into German in the days leading up to the Second World War. The
original volume was found missing on May 10, 1941, the date Rudolf
Hess, made his ill-fated flight to Great Britain, lending support
to allegations that Hitler's deputy Fhrer had taken the ancient
manuscript with the intention of presenting it as a gift to the
Duke of Hamilton and Brandon, who Hess planned to meet for the
purpose of secretly discussing peace negotiations between Germany
and Britain. In the years since its disappearance, the only known
transcription of the Lebor Feasa Rnda, the German translation
prepared by Henry Thorenson for the Ahnenerbe, fell into obscurity
until 2001 when it was discovered by Akins, who was granted access
to Thorenson's private records, enabling him to complete and
publish the first English edition of this remarkable and historic
work.
This title provides an insightful exploration of ritual, myth, and
oracles in Shang Period China (16th-11th century BCE). Combining
wide-ranging scholarship with pragmatic practicality, the author
shines a light on one of the most obscure and least-known areas of
ritual practice in the ancient world, demonstrating its value and
connection to the development of magical practices in China over a
period of many centuries.
The 'Grimoire of Pope Honorius' is the first and most important of
the French 'black magic' grimoires which proliferated across Europe
in the 17th-19th centuries. Combining a grimoire of conjurations to
demons of the four directions and seven days of the week with a
Book of Secrets full of simple charms, the 'Grimoire of Pope
Honorius' was second only to the Key of Solomon in the influence it
exerted on magicians, charmers and cunning-folk in both rural and
urban France. 'The Complete Grimoire of Pope Honorius' contains
material translated from all four of the different French editions
of the 'Grimoire of Pope Honorius'.
You could be the target of a spell or curse and not even know it.

Here, renowned scholar and magick practitioner Jason Miller shows readers how to master these techniques:

- Performing banishings and making amulets that will prevent most attacks
- Making magical “decoys” to absorb attacks against you
- Summoning guardian spirits or gods for help
- Binding, confusing, or expelling a persistent enemy who will not leave you be
These are techniques for witches, wiccans, ceremonial magicians, root doctors, and anyone else who puts magick to practical use. Like the cunning men and women of old, you can now defend yourself and your loved ones against even the strongest attacks.

Alchemy is the art of turning your trash into treasure. The Real
Magic Course is a path of transformation. Transformation is the
Kaos Hieroglyphica Alchemy for the New Aeon In the year 1564, Dr
John Dee published his work, Monas Hieroglyphica. Its central
symbol represented the unity which was the gnosis of the
monotheistic aeon. Now over four hundred years later, Anton
Channing has published his long awaited debut work Kaos
Hieroglyphica, within which he expounds a new symbol, the Kaos
Hieroglyph. This symbol represents the plurality and freedom of the
New Aeon. This work of magical alchemy draws on such diverse
material as Thelema, the Chaos Current, the Maat Current, Timothy
Leary, Witchcraft, Paganism, the Hermetic Tradition, Taoism,
Shamanism and the author's own Pineal Gland. The Kaos Hieroglyphica
offers the reader interpretations of Hermetic symbolism in a way
that is both insightful and relevant to New Aeon Magic.
