"nothing", the purpose of the cross, the tree of life, and

Every plant has its own distinct spiritual energy or its own deva.
Devas are the radiant light of the Universal Divine which permeates
all things.Since the earliest times people were aware that all of
Nature is divine. Great and wondrous myths were told which
explained the presence of divine energy as it exists in thunder, in
trees and in sunlight. Some of this lore was the foundation of
religions. But the simpler stories such as those of a plant's
energy explored day-to-day matters like health and love. This
understanding of the world has been preserved in folklore through
poems, chants, ditties and spells.From researching the history of
folklore from cultures around the world, patterns emerge which
enable us to approach the true nature of plants' devas. This
compendium presents the lore and the corresponding usage for 330
magickal herbes. Great care was taken only to include folklore that
was documented as being authentic.You will meet many new herbes in
this text and explore fascinating magickal and religi uses. But
most of all we hope you come to respect the divine that surrounds
your everyday life.
The Grimoire of Armadel is a do-it-yourself book of ceremonial magic. This edition was translated by Mathers from a seventeenth-century manuscript kept at the Bibliotheque d'Arsenal in Paris. The Grimoire contains detailed descriptions of the natures and offices of the various evil spirits. The sigils -- seals giving power over demons -- related to the various spirits are reproduced together with their practical uses, according to the particular aspect of the astral world that the reader wants to investigate. With more than forty spells, plus detailed diagrams and conjuring charts -- all reproduced here following the method of the original French manuscript.
A year-long collection of spells and rituals for harnessing the
magical power of each day from the author of the Encyclopedia of
5000 Spells. We all could use a little magic in our daily lives.
But while the year is filled with mystical dates, we don't always
know when and how to celebrate them. By knowing and preparing for
these special days we can use their inherent power to change our
lives. Daily Magic is a perpetual calendar focused on days of
spiritual and magical significance. April 30th for example, is
perfect for spellcasting-especially spells for love, romance,
fertility, and prosperity. Judika Illes teaches you how to create
rituals and cast spells, provides recipes for potions, and offers
advice on creating feasts to honor sacred beings. While the most
spiritually significant power dates of the year are Midsummer's
Eve, Halloween/Samhain, and New Year's, opportunities to use
rituals and spells for the most popular goals-love, prosperity,
fertility, healing, and protection-occur every week. Illes offers
guidance on when to perform a spell-whether it's best to conjure
now or to wait for a special power date later in the year. Daily
Magic is a spiritual daily calendar that give us the power and the
tools we need to take control of our destiny!
