This beautiful handbook contains well-known goddesses from the
ancient world famously claimed by witches throughout the ages as
well as other, less common ones, like catholic patron saints,
around whom specific spells and rituals have grown. Each goddess
rules over her domain, protecting and inspiring those who seek her
favor with traditional rituals and spells praising her. Her
symbols, favorite offerings, and favored forms of worship are all
explained in the same illustrated and informative way as the
previous books in the series. Here is but a taste of the powerful
patrons you can learn about: HECATE is the Greek goddess of
witchcraft and divination. Her roman counterpart is called TRIVIA
and both accept offerings at crossroads. She transmits good news of
the future, resides as a patron deity over divination spells. She's
an excellent guide for new ventures and is a powerful guardian.
KAMALA is an incarnation of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, the goddess
of wealth and creativity. Invoke her to bring creative skills so
that you can fill your life with pleasure and wealth of every kind
by offerings of rice and ghee. MARIE LAVEAU may be the most
influential American practitioner of the magical arts. The
notorious Voudou Queen of New Orleans dispensed charms and potions
(even saving several condemned men from the gallows), told
fortunes, and healed the sick. SAINT LUCIA is the bearer of light
in the darkness of winter. She is the patron saint of the blind,
authors, cutlers, glaziers, laborers, martyrs, peasants, saddlers,
salesmen, and stained glass workers. YEMAYA is the Yoruba Orisha or
Goddess of the living Ocean, considered the mother of all. She is
the source of all the waters, including the rivers of western
Africa, especially the River Ogun. She is associated with the
Orisha Olokin (Who is variously described as female, male, or
hermaphrodite), Who represents the depths of the Ocean and the
unconscious, and together They form a balance. She is the sister
and wife of Aganju, the God of the soil, and the mother of Oya,
Goddess of the winds. The Mystical Handbook series from Wellfleet

Part guided journaling practice, part interactive magical grimoire,
The Magical Writing Grimoire shows you how to incorporate writing
as a magical tool to create healing and amplify spell-casting.
Whenever and wherever you are, word magic is with you. During times
of chaos or pain, or simply when you need a cosmic boost, writing
can help. In fact, healers, therapists, and magical practitioners
have long incorporated writing in their practices. From letter
writing for creating closure to dream diaries, writing is a
powerful process for moving your dreams into manifestation. The
Magical Writing Grimoire approaches writing as a self-actualizing,
intentional, and healing act. You will learn how to combine writing
with ritual and magic for self-discovery, clarifying intentions,
creating and making things happen, and manifestation. You will also
be guided in how to create a personal grimoire-a magical book of
self rituals, spells, and intentions. Each chapter contains writing
prompts that also incorporate magical ritual and tools including
working with crystals, spell incantation, or candle alchemy. Other
rituals and prompts may be set up for certain moon phases or ask
you to bury or burn a piece of paper. Equal parts practical and
inspiring, The Magical Writing Grimoire shows you how to wield your
word as your wand.
An extraordinary exploration of the forgotten history of the
esoteric and its unexpected possibilities in our time. In these
talks, written and presented to a variety of audiences between 2001
and 2010, John Michael Greer explores the forgotten history of
occultism and its unexpected possibilities in our time. From
practical methods of occult training to the politics and
metapolitics of magic, from the shadowy world of Victorian sex
magic to the alchemy of initiatory ritual, from the complex origins
of modern Neopaganism to the approaching twilight of Neopagan pop
culture and what comes next, the talks collected in this book seek
to inspire curiosity and reflection, not to set out an ironclad
case for this or that point of view. This book is an extraordinary
insight into the life and work of a working magician and occultist.

Not since The Confessions of Aleister Crowley has a true magician
told his own story. My Life with the Spirits is a rare glimpse into
the fascinating, sometimes terrifying, sometimes hilarious world of
a modern ceremonial magician. Hailed by critics as the most
entertaining author in the field and one of the most widely
respected members of the magick community, Lon Milo DuQuette gently
draws you into the introspective world of the modern magician,
tickles you with hilarious observations and self-effacing
confessions, then (often in the same paragraph) slams you in the
heart with breathtaking profundities.
DuQuette's most impressive quality is that in spite of his many
accomplishments he doesn't take himself too seriously, which makes
what he has to say all the more appealing. He's been through
experiences that many Americans can relate to from his "agonizing
years of Sunday School" and service as an altar boy, to riding the
waves of the cultural revolution of the 60s. After sorting through
an abundance of spiritual paths, he finally came upon one that
resonated with him. By shedding light on his own development -- as
a person and a magician -- DuQuette provides a beacon for aspiring
magicians everywhere.
Recognize and celebrate the magic of life with timeless rites
and spells. Create a magical household--a haven of harmony, safety,
spirituality, security, and romance. The benefits include a happier
existence, protection against thieves, improved health, restful
sleep, satisfying spiritual experiences, and a perfect environment
for positive magic. This warm and wise guide by much loved author
Scott Cunningham has been helping people create sacred space in
their homes and gardens for nearly twenty years.

This book, translated and edited by the occultist Samuel Liddell
Mathers (1854-1918) and published in 1889, introduced to Victorian
England an important work of Renaissance esoterica. Purportedly the
deathbed testament of King Solomon to his son, distilling all the
angelic wisdom he received in his lifetime, it provided its readers
with detailed instructions in conjuring, divining and summoning
God's power to work 'experiments', or spells. For Mathers, it
represented 'the fountain-head and storehouse of Qabalistical
Magic' and formed a central part of his efforts to lend scholarly
respectability to occult research. Mathers edited the text using
available manuscripts at the British Museum, and it continues to
offer authoritative and fascinating insight into both Renaissance
occultism and its Victorian revival. Features of this edition
include introductions from three distinct manuscripts, a table of
the planetary hours and their magical names, and spells for
producing invisibility, creating magic carpets and identifying
thieves.

The Kabbalah is divided into three branches-the theoretical, the
meditative, and the practical. While many books, both in Hebrew and
English, have explored the theoretical Kabbalah, virtually nothing
has been published regarding the meditative methods of these
schools. This is the first book published in any language that
reveals the methodology of the Kabbalists and stresses the
meditative techniques that were essential to their discipline.
Kaplan offers a lucid presentation of the mantras, mandalas, and
other devices used by these schools, as well as a penetrating
interpretation of their significance in light of contemporary
meditative research. In addition, Meditation and Kabbalah presents
relevant portions of such meditative texts as the Greater Hekhalot
(textbook of the Merkava School), the writings of Abraham Abulafia,
Joseph Gikatalia's Gates of Holiness, Gate of the Holy Spirit
(textbook of the Lurianic School), and the important meditative
hasidic classics. Also investigated is the intriguing possibility,
suggested by the Zohar, that the meditative methods of the East
might have been derived from the mystical techniques of the
prophets.
From the author of Helrunar: manual of rune magick, and Visual
Magick, a handbook of freestyle shamanism, comes the definitive
study of magical trance and possession techniques. The author is
inspired by the Nordic tradition of Seidr, said to have been taught
to the human race by Odin. The book provides an extensive survey of
the manifestation of this powerful technique through several
related magical traditions - shamanism, mesmerism, draconian cults
and even the nightside of European paganism. Seething is probably
the most useful magical technique I have ever learned. I first was
taken by the pleasure of it. My body felt warm and sensual, and
seething in the hips felt quite sexual. I liked the feeling of my
body taking over where the shaking was first voluntary - but I
could still have some control, making the shaking stronger or more
subtle. After a while I started to see visions - something that
very rarely happens to me. I could see (with my physical eyes, not
astrally ) the surface of the land in the centre of the circle
rippling, like waves of energy. It was a really moving experience
in a site that - until then - had not been particularly 'special'
to me... it ..has had a major impact upon my magical work which
used to be largely indoors, as at last I have found a way that I
can work outdoors. This gives my magical work a potency that it
simply didn't have before. - Shantidevi quoted in chapter twelve
'Rhythms and the Mind'
