Bring the power of the ancient runes into your life for divination
and magic with "Northern Mysteries & Magick" (revised edition
of "Leaves of Yggdrasil) "by Freya Aswynn.
The runes are more than an ancient alphabet. They comprise a
powerful system of divination and a path to the subconscious forces
operating in your life. "Northern Mysteries & Magick" is the
only book of Nordic magick written by a woman, and it is the first
to offer an extensive presentation of rune concepts, mythology, and
magical applications inspired by Dutch/Friesian traditional lore.
Also unique in this book is the inclusion of the feminine Mysteries
of the North. You'll learn how they are represented in the runes.
You will see how each of the major deities of Northern Europe still
lives in the collective consciousness of people of Northern
European descent.

Mesopotamia and the theological foundations of their time.
Babylonian cosmic structure and the Enuma Elish are explored and
presented in a modern interpretation. Tiamat, Kingu and the 11
Chaos-Monsters created by Tiamat are explored, their functions,

Mesopotamia are presented along with Cuneiform sigils and
documentation of their use in sorcery. The extensive Invocations of

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage-originally
published in 1900, translated by Samuel Mathers from a 15th-century
French document-was purportedly written by Abraham for his son
Lamech. Within this volume are three books. The first book is
Abraham's autobiography in which he speaks to his son. The second
book is an explanation of the purification rituals necessary to
bring the magician's personal demon under his control. And the
third book details what feats can be accomplished once the
practitioner is able to use a form of magic controlled and directed
through sigils of magic words written on a grid. Anyone with an
interest in the occult will find this an interesting, though
perhaps impractical, guide for exploring mystic arts.

What are "The Black Books?" They are a series of booklets from Dr
Hyatt and the Extreme Individual Institute. Little can be said
about the Black Book Series lest it give away its intention and
reduce its impact.
With their dramatic descriptions of black masses and cannibalistic
feasts, the records generated by the Basque witch-craze of 160914
provide us with arguably the most demonologically-stereotypical
accounts of the witches sabbath or akelarre to have emerged from
early modern Europe. While the trials have attracted scholarly
attention, the most substantial monograph on the subject was
written nearly forty years ago and most works have focused on the
ways in which interrogators shaped the pattern of prosecutions and
the testimonies of defendants. Invoking the Akelarre diverts from
this norm by employing more recent historiographical paradigms to
analyze the contributions of the accused. Through interdisciplinary
analyses of both French- and Spanish-Basque records, it argues that
suspects were not passive recipients of elite demonological
stereotypes but animated these received templates with their own
belief and experience, from the dark exoticism of magical
conjuration, liturgical cursing and theatrical misrule to the sharp
pragmatism of domestic medical practice and everyday religious
observance. In highlighting the range of raw materials available to
the suspects, the book helps us to understand how the fiction of
the witches sabbath emerged to such prominence in contemporary
mentalities, whilst also restoring some agency to the defendants
and nuancing the historical thesis that stereotypical content
points to interrogatorial opinion and folkloric content to the
voices of the accused. In its local context, this study provides an
intimate portrait of peasant communities as they flourished in the
Basque region in this period and leaves us with the irony that
Europes most sensationally-demonological accounts of the witches
sabbath may have evolved out of a particularly ardent commitment,
on the part of ordinary Basques, to the social and devotional
structures of popular Catholicism.

Goetia [refers to] all the operations of that Magick which deals
with gross, malignant or unenlightened forces. Goetia is sometimes
thought of as a wild card, something that can get out of control,
something which expresses the operator's lower desires to control
others and improve his own personal life. And, in fact, this
potential loss of control, this danger, the desire for self
improvement and great power is exactly what attracts many people to
Goetia while horrifying and repelling others. Crowley's "Goetia" is
brought to life with vivid illustrations of the demons. Commentary
by DuQuette and Hyatt bring the ancient arts into the modern day.

To truly understand the philosophy and practice of Thelema, you
need to understand its charismatic and influential founder,
Aleister Crowley. Thelema demystifies this enigmatic figure,
providing a biography of Crowley and showing how his work evolved
to become a paradigm-shifting system of magick. This book also
explores the texts and writings that form the basis of Thelema, and
it provides step-by-step instructions for practicing the basic
rites and rituals of this misunderstood tradition. With this
accessible guide, you will discover how Crowley and Thelema were
influenced by Qabalah, the GoldenDawn, Egyptian deities, sex
magick, tarot, Gnosticism, Eastern philosophy, yoga, and much more.
In this groundbreaking book, Knight shows how the Qabalah and its
basic diagram, the Tree of Life, is a system of relationships among
mystical symbols that can be used to gain access to the hidden
reaches of the mind. He also demonstrates how the Qabalah is
applicable to all mystical traditions and religious beliefs,
including Christian mysticism, Greek, Egyptian and Celtic
mythologies, and even Native American beliefs. It is indeed
symbolic of our universal search for the Divine. Included here are
two books in one. The first compares the Western Mystery Tradition
with the Eastern system of yoga, analyzes the Tree of Life in full
detail, and describes the practical application and theories of
Qabalistic symbolism. The second gives the most comprehensive
analysis ever published of the twenty-two 'Paths of Concealed
Glory' that join the Spheres of the Tree of Life taking into
account the Hebrew alphabet, astrological signs, and tarot trumps.
A large section explores the history of tarot design and the
varying systems of correspondence with the Tree of Life.

In 1937, a thirty-one year old student of Magic released the secret
teachings of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. One year later,
that same student, Dr Francis Israel Regardie, published the first
edition of a book which would set the tone and direction for
alchemical studies for nearly three decades. In this epic book,
Regardie gives a penetrating insight into the psychological aspects
and mystical symbolism of three famous alchemical tracts: The
Golden Tract of Hermes, The Six Keys of Eudoxus, and The Triumphal
Chariot of Alchemy. However, after meeting and studying with the
famous Alchemist, Frater Albertus (Dr. Albert Richard Reidel),
Regardie's views on Alchemy changed forever, as the Alchemist
taught him the physical, laboratory basis of the Science that is
Alchemy.
The cycle of lectures in this book was given by Rudolf Steiner in
1908, and the following words of his might well serve as its motto:
"The mission of our age is to bring forth not an ancient wisdom,
but a new wisdom, one that points not only to the past but that
works prophetically into the future." Teachings based partly in
Theosophy and Rosicrucianism.
