magick-tapping into your own energetic awareness to create
change-is accessible simply through the power of your will.

Alchemy is the ancient sacred science concerned with the mysteries
of life and consciousness as reflected through all Nature. It is a
harmonious blending of physical and subtle forces which lifts the
subject, whether it be man or metal, to a more evolved state of
being. The Way of the Crucible is a ground-breaking modern manual
on the art of Alchemy that draws on both modern scientific
technology and ancient methods. A laboratory scientist and chemist,
Bartlett provides an overview of how practical alchemy works along
with treatises on Astrology, Qabalah, Herbalism, and minerals, as
they relate to Alchemy. He also explains what the ancients really
meant when they used the term "Philosopher's Stone" and describes
practical methods toward its achievement. The Way of the Crucible
provides directions for a more advanced understanding of the
mineral work -- what some consider the true domain of Alchemy.
Are you on a spiritual path? These paths are as unique as the
people who walk them. Part grimoire, part handbook, and part
spiritual travelogue, A Mystical Practical Guide to Magic is a
personal and practical compendium for creating your own magical
life. The author writes from real life experience, as practitioner
and teacher, sharing field notes and anecdotes from the magical
practices that inspired her, and so many others, over the decades:
astrology, tarot, witchery, writing, meditation, improving
intuition, mediumship, and more, including her own system for
emotional regeneration, Moon Pluto Magic. The book has stories to
tell and homework to give and city streets to take you down. The
topics and practices traversed herein will help you, too, if you
let them. They will help you find you as the book fundamentally
explores this question: how to make life more meaningful, each day.
Astrology can help. Tarot can help. Magic will definitely help! And
so will your Spirit Guides. Are you a witch? Should you learn about
your birth chart? Why keep a journal? How can Tarot make you
psychic? Why meditate when you can't sit still? Can your spiritual
life keep you grounded during hard times? These questions and many
more are offered, as well as simple exercises and ideas, including
spells and tarot spreads and recommended reading, that you can use
to chart your own unique spiritual quest.
This new and completely redesigned edition creates a colourful and
vibrant guide to the secret art. Klossowski de Rola elucidates the
mysterious language and polyvalent symbolism from a variety of
perspectives - practical, spiritual, elemental and historical - and
explains how the true alchemist differs from the modern chemist and
the false practitioner. Gold is only a by-product and emblem of the
Great Work of the alchemist. The latter part of the book comprises
the full text of a seventeenth-century exposition upon an
alchemist's dream-poem, and five richly illustrated `Themes'
sections, reproducing full sequences of alchemical thought, art and
paraphernalia.

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.
- A complete analysis of the Elder Futhark Runes and their meanings
- How to use the runes for divination including several rune
spreads
- Using the runes in magick
- Rune charms and power sigils
- Shamanic drumming and chanting
- Profiles of the eight major Gods
- The Northern Feminine mysteries featuring four major goddesses
The first edition of this book was considered a classic. Now,
revised and expanded, "Northern Mysteries & Magick" is one of
the most amazing and important books ever on the Runes and the
magick of Northern Europe.
"The seidr current is fresh and vibrant, with the strength and
solidity of the Norse deities behind it." - Katie Gerrard Seidr is
the intriguing and powerful early Norse system of shamanistic
trance practices. In Seidr: The Gate is Open, Katie Gerrard has
contributed a major work on the practices of seidr and trance
prophecy, providing a practical manual full of dynamic group
rituals and techniques based on known Seidr practices. Foremost
amongst these techniques is the prophetic rite of the High Seat,
where the Volva (seer) sends her consciousness to the underworld
realm of Hel to gain answers to the questions posed to her.
Combining more than a decade of research and experimentation, this
book is characterised by both its scholarship and its
accessibility. Katie Gerrard shares her own experiences on the path
of the seer, and also draws inspiration from original sources in
the old texts of the Sagas and the Eddas, as well as contemporary
researchers and groups working with seidr in Scandinavia, Europe
and America. Techniques for achieving trance, levels of trance
possession, coming out of trance, the vardlokkurs (chants),
necessary equipment, and the requirements for the roles of the
different participants, are all discussed in a clear and concise
manner, as is the relevance of contacting the ancestors, the dead
and the appropriate gods, including the goddesses Freyja and Hel,
and the Allfather god Odin. As befits such an inspirational book,
the author provides both the relevant background information for
the eleven rites contained within, together with explanations of
their inclusion and purposes. The rites emanate practical
effectiveness, a result of their regular use over many years for
successful exploration of the mysteries of trance prophecy, the
High Seat rite and Norse witchcraft. "This is a spiritual journey
laid bare for an audience who are either already treading a similar
path or are looking for guidance in order to follow a well trodden
path to a similar end point." * * * * * Katie Gerrard is a writer,
researcher, and workshop facilitator with a passion for the magic
of Seidr and the Runes. She has been studying the different forms
of norse magic and working with norse gods since discovering them
in the 1990s. Katie is also the author of Odin's Gateways (about
working with the runes) and the forthcoming The Gate is Open (about
Seidr and Northern tradition magical techniques), both publised by
Avalonia Books. An essay on the High Sear Rite written by Katie
Gerrard appeared in the Avalonia anthology 'Priestesses,
Pythonesses, Sibyls'. She also regularly hosts seidr and other seer
and norse rites within the London (UK) area.
