This is a reprint of the 1920 edition of an important but almost
unknown work. When Atwood made her suggestive inquiry into what was
termed "The Hermetic Mystery," she supposed that the adept
Hieophants put the candidate into a deep trance and his soul was
led into something that was for her the Supreme Oneness of
everything.
This title contains a CD & Booklet. The seven classical
planetary bodies can be used to represent the spectrum of
psychology. Ouranos (Uranus), the eighth body, orbits outside the
sphere of the classical planets - and of the god-forms or
thought-forms attributed to them. Thus it forms an ideal symbol for
that which encompasses all of the gods within its orbit, namely,
the magical personality. It represents not the power of the magic
itself, (which is attributed to Pluto), but rather the desire to be
a magician, and the personality required to live as one. Ouranos
can also be thought of as the dark side of the Sun. Ouranos
represents something more dark - and perhaps devious - creeping
around in the darkness outside of the normal.

The Hermetic Museum takes readers on a magical mystery tour
spanning an arc from the medieval cosmogram and images of Christian
mysticism, through the fascinating world of alchemy to the art of
the Romantic era. The enigmatic hieroglyphs of cabalists,
Rosicrucians, and freemasons are shown to be closely linked with
the early scientific illustrations in the fields of medicine,
chemistry, optics, and color theory. Even for those with no
knowledge of the fascinating history of alchemy, this book is a
delight to explore. Each richly illustrated chapter begins with an
introduction and quotes from alchemists by specialist Alexander
Roob. The roots of surrealism and many other more recent artistic
movements can be found in this treasure trove. About the series

Israel Regardie wrote "The Tree of Life, " a book many consider his
magnum opus, " "in 1932. It has continued to sell for decades. And
no wonder. Up until the time this book was published, very little
information about true high magic was available to the public.
In this book, Regardie reveals the secrets of real magic. He begins
with an explanation of what magic is and, just as importantly, what
magic is not. He explains that it is a spiritual study and practice
which, along with forms of yoga, forms the two branches of the tree
that is mysticism. Magic is not being a medium or a psychic. Then
he explains the tools of the magician, what they mean, and how to
use them. He explains the techniques of evocation and invocation,
skrying, and astral travel. He shows how the Qabalah unites
everything. He even gives a description of the secrets of sexual
magick. All of this is in a clear, lucid writing style. This book
is simply a must for anyone who is, or aspires to be, a real
magician.
Although Chic and Sandra Tabatha Cicero were friends of Regardie
and are Senior Adepts of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn,
what changes could they have made to this classic book? Well, they
did change the spelling from British style to American. And they
did change his transliterations of Hebrew into the more popular
style he used in his later books. But nothing vital was changed or
removed. Everything else they added was complementary to the text
that was there. And what incredible additions they are Extensive
annotations throughout every chapter; over 100 illustrations; more
descriptive contents pages; a glossary, a bibliography and an
index. They've even added a biographical note on Regardie and the
importance of this book to him and to the occult world.
This book contains some of the finest occult writing that has ever
been produced. And with the new material by the Ciceros, it becomes
a must-have for any magician
How does a mind think magically? The research documented in this
book is one answer that allows the disciplines of anthropology and
neurobiology to come together to reveal a largely hidden dynamic of
magic. Magic gets to the very heart of some theoretical and
methodological difficulties encountered in the social and natural
sciences, especially to do with issues of rationality. This book
examines magic head-on, not through its instrumental aspects but as
an orientation of consciousness. Magical consciousness is
affective, associative and synchronistic, shaped through individual
experience within a particular environment. This work focuses on an
in-depth case study using the anthropologist's own experience
gained through years of anthropological fieldwork with British
practitioners of magic. As an ethnographic view, it is an intimate
study of the way in which the cognitive architecture of a mind
engages the emotions and imagination in a pattern of meanings
related to childhood experiences, spiritual communications and the
environment. Although the detail of the involvement in magical
consciousness presented here is necessarily specific, the central
tenets of modus operandi is common to magical thought in general,
and can be applied to cross-cultural analyses to increase
understanding of this ubiquitous human phenomenon.
An updated approach for working with the Triple Goddess in modern
times The Triple Goddess has three facets: the maiden, the mother,
and the crone. The Triple Goddess represents many things such as
birth, life, death and the phases of the moon, waxing, full and
waning. Whilst in the form we recognise it may well be a modern
idea, it still gives a wonderful way of working with the goddess
and her phases, to help us evolve and understand our own pathway
through life and this journey can help you to embrace your own
personal power.

Editor and translator S. L. MacGregor Mathers was a leader of the
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, an influential group of
magicians and mystics whose members included Arthur Machen, W. B.
Yeats, and Evelyn Underhill. MacGregor Mathers based this
extraordinary book on seven manuscripts from the British Museum's
collections. Its formulas for conjuring up spirits and performing
rituals offer a rich source of study for students of comparative
religion, psychology, and the history of ideas. For working
occultists, this classic provides a valuable and important guide to
the execution of magical ceremonies.
Grimoires began simply as quick-reference "grammar books" for
sorcerers, magicians, and priests before evolving into
comprehensive guides to magic, complete with spell-casting rituals,
magical alphabets, and instructions to create amulets and
talismans. With the advent of the printing press, some grimoires
were mass produced, but many of the abbreviations were
misinterpreted and magical words misspelled, rendering them
ineffective. The most powerful grimoires remained not only secret
but also heavily encoded, making them accessible only to the
highest initiates of the magical traditions. Drawing on his own
private collection of grimoires and magical manuscripts as well as
his privileged access to the rare book archives of major European
universities, Claude Lecouteux offers an extensive study of ancient
books of magic and the ways the knowledge within them was kept
secret for centuries through symbols, codes, secret alphabets, and
Kabbalistic words. Touching on both white and black magical
practices, he explains the basic principles of medieval magic,
including the doctrine of names and signatures, mastery of the
power of images, and the laws of sympathy and contagion. He gives
an overview of magic in the Western Mystery tradition, emphasizing
both lesser-known magicians such as Trithemus and Peter of Apono
and famous ones like Albertus Magnus and Hermes Trismegistus.
Creating a universal grimoire, Lecouteux provides exact
reproductions of secret magical alphabets, symbols, and glyphs with
instructions for their use as well as an illustrated collection of
annotated spells, rituals, and talismans for numerous applications
including amorous magic, healing magic, and protection rites. The
author also examines the folk magic that resulted when the high
magic of the medieval grimoires melded with the preexisting pagan
magic of ancient Europe.
