For love, for money, for career, for home: this comprehensive
compendium contains a creative array of 1001 spells - 800 of them
never published before. They cover every conceivable desire, both
big (health and healing) and more specific (like selling a house).
There are 20 different sections, covering subjects ranging from
fertility and travel to protection and justice, each containing 50
spells each and culminating in an ultimate 'spell to end all
spells'. Along with the spells, there's information on the colours,
fragrances, crystals, angels, times of day and phases of the moon
that strengthen each type of magic.
Alchemical practices have been reborn in our contemporary world under the rubric of Jungianism, transpersonal psychology, or depth psychology. But in Alchemical Psychology, Thom F. Cavalli, Ph.D., takes us directly to the source—and on a wonderful adventure into the true nature of our hearts and minds. In a book that sparkles with verve, life, and practicality, Dr. Cavalli explains how alchemy was one of humankind’s earliest efforts to transform the nature of consciousness. What little-known or underground arts did alchemists practice in pursuit of self-transformation—and how can they enrich us today? Using the same practices that he employs with patients, Dr. Cavalli offers readers a plethora of personal exercises that, among other things, enables them to “type” themselves according to ancient alchemical identifiers of nature and personality. He then provides practices that can help free them from the grip of familiar problems and foster true personal growth. Beautifully illustrated with medieval prints from the alchemical tradition, Alchemical Psychology gives readers both a richer understanding of their own natures and of the traditions on which many of our modern therapies are based.
Discover where faeries and other mythical creatures are hiding in
our modern, urban environment with this beautifully illustrated
guide to uncovering magical beings. From the musty corners of
libraries to the darkest depths of urban sewers, faeries, boggarts,
redcaps, and other fantastical species can be found all around
us-but only if we know where to look. And like every other being in
the modern world, these wonderous creatures have been forced to
adapt to the climate, industrial, and cultural changes of the
modern era. Many formerly common creatures from akeki to cave
trolls have been driven out by the urban sprawl, technological
advancements, and climate change while others, including ether
sprites and brownies, have been able to thrive in abundance,
creating homes within electrical hotbeds and massive landfills.
Featuring descriptions of magical creatures from around the globe,
this encyclopedic collection details the history and adaptability
of more than fifty different species of fae. Describing
little-known and fascinating creatures such as the Luck Pigeon of
Baltimore, the akaname of Eastern Asia, and the konderong of South
Africa, this book will expose readers to fantastical species from a
variety of cultures and communities. Combining scholarship with
modern lore and environmentalism, and featuring stunning hand-drawn
illustrations, Finding Faeries is a captivating look at the
fantastical beings that inhabit our world today.
From poltergeists to the latest in parapsychological research, from
tantra to tarot, you will investigate the laws, uses, history and
manifestations of real magic. Bonewits brings magic out of the dark
ages and into the computer age in a spellbinding investigation that
will captivate believers and non-believers alike.
The Pin Is Mightier Than the Sword
"Denise Alvarado is a true hoodoo mamba home girl who burned
hi-octane conjure in New Orleans where she grew up, and on visits
to relatives in the Mississippi bayous, where she was formally
introduced to the Voodoo/hoodoo path. Called by the spirits and
taught conjuration by family members, she was working the goofer
from five years old. That's some serious heat. Denise is no
pretender. She's for real. She fixes the formulas, raises the
spirits, calculates the mathematics, and works wonders at the old
dirt track crossroads." -Doktor Snake, author of "Doktor Snake's
Voodoo Spellbook"
When it comes to Voodoo, few things are more iconic than the
Voodoo doll. Known also as conjure dolls, doll babies, dollies,
baby dolls, poppets, fetich, fetish, and effigies, they are
servants of fast-acting, long-lasting magic. If you are seeking a
new job or new friends, need to find your one true love or keep
your lover at home, wish to be rid of your enemies or protect
yourself from thievery, in these pages you will find the doll and
the spell to do just that and more.
Drawing not only on New Orleans Voodoo and hoodoo traditions,
Alvarado also presents doll spellwork from ancient Greece, Egypt,
Malaysia, Japan, Africa, and the European grimoires of old magic.
You'll learn how to make, use, and properly dispose of your Voodoo
doll.
Be warned: this is some of the most effective magic that exists

The political philosopher and writer William Godwin (1756-1836),
who was also the husband of writer Mary Wollstonecraft and father
of Mary Shelley, was known for his philosophical works and novels.
In this work, originally published in 1834, Godwin turns to the
issue of the supernatural, and to some of the famous - and
sometimes unexpected - people associated with it. He begins by
defining some magic practices, such as divination, astrology, and
necromancy, giving examples of the latter from the Bible. The
remainder of the work consists of brief sketches of people and
places involved in the occult world, beginning in the Ancient
Middle East and Greece, surveying the Christian era in Europe, and
ending with the New England witch trials. In a remarkable work of
synthesis, he discusses apparently supernatural episodes in the
lives of many historical figures, from Socrates and Virgil to Joan
of Arc and James I.
