magic.
Compiled from original manuscripts and fragments in the British Museum Library, Joseph Peterson, s new presentation is the most complete and accurate edition of this famous magical grimoire, "The Lesser Key of Solomon the King". He goes to great length to establish the provenance of each part, and possible derivative works, including critical analyses of all major variations, utilizing fresh translations of earlier magical texts such as Johann Trithemius's Steganographia, The Archidoxes of Magic by Paracelsus, and newly discovered Hebrew manuscripts of the original Key of Solomon. He also outlines the sources and omissions in previous, modern editions. Included in this comprehensive edition are: -- Goetia -- The ritual invocation of evil spirits and Solomon's devices for binding them; -- Theurgia Goetia -- Slightly less diabolical than Goetia, this part continues the study of spirits "partly good and partly evil; " -- Ars Paulina -- Outlines the good spirits or angels governing the hours of the day and the signs of the zodiac, purported to have been discovered by the Apostle Paul after he had been snatched up to heaven. Includes "The Conjuration of the Holy Guardian Angel; " -- Ars Almadel -- Attributed to an Arab of the same name, it describes twenty beneficial spirits that govern the zodiac; -- Ars Notoria -- With roots that go back to 13th-century Latin manuscripts, and probably even earlier oral traditions, this collection of orations or prayers is interspersed with magical words said to have mystical properties that can impart communion with God and knowledge of divine and human arts and sciences; -- Appendices, which include addenda found in Sloane manuscript Johann Weyer's Psuedomonarchia demonum, and variant examples of some drawings. Abundantly illustrated, Peterson includes reproductions of the original magical circles, tools, and seals of the spirits with variations of certain drawings from various sources and notae missing from earlier editions. He draws on the most recent research by esoteric scholars such as Claire Fanger, George Mora, John Shea, Claudia Rohrbacker-Sticker, I. P. Couliano, Robert Turner, Adam McLean, and others, making this an essential addition to the library of any student of ritual magic and the Western Mystery Tradition.
In this comprehensive introduction to Enochian magic and beyond,
John DeSalvo explains how the magic system transmitted by the
angels to John Dee and Edward Kelley in the 16th century has until
now remained incomplete and thus not as powerful as the angels
intended. Drawing on his in-depth study of John Dee's diaries,
DeSalvo explains how Dee and Kelley were given the Enochian tables
and calls but their communications with the angels were severed
before they received the full practical instructions for Enochian
magic. To this day, most magical groups improvise and make up
rituals based on their own ideas and imagination--the magic they
practice is not true angelic magic. After many successful Enochian
magic rituals and years of his own spiritual work, DeSalvo has
discovered additional key pieces to the magical system of Dee and
Kelley, a system now known as Power Magic. He provides step-by-step
instructions for more complete and accurate Enochian magic rituals
and reveals how the angelic realm is only the first and farthest
away of the spiritual realms surrounding God. He explains how to
penetrate this angelic realm with Power Magic to reach higher
spiritual worlds and receive more powerful knowledge and energy. He
shows that by connecting with the higher worlds beyond the angels,
we can tap more fully in to the magical power of the Divine and
begin restoring the planetary magic of our most ancient ancestors.

Magick depends upon no abstract philosophies, and doing it requires
neither devotion to any god or demon nor knowledge of the True Keys
of the Mysteries. Instead it is a technique for recognising and
manipulating psychic energy, both within the psyche and outside it,
and for acquiring the mental skills we need to do this effectively.
If the details of this technique can seem involved, well, the
psyche is a complicated instrument, and psychic energy is slippery
stuff to deal with. We must learn to manage it within our psyches
and also to split it off so it can act independently to produce the
"meaningful coincidences" we require. Magick is a psychic
technology, a collection of observations about psychic energy and
the techniques for manipulating it."Shaping Formless Fire" presents
these with a simple elegance that contradicts the notion that
magick must remain a hidden art. There is psychic energy with us
and all around us. We use its power to make our worlds, and to
master it is to learn how to make the worlds we require. To see it
as merely the way we perceive the world is to put ourselves at its
mercy, and forfeit its power.

An updated approach for working with the Triple Goddess in modern
times The Triple Goddess has three facets: the maiden, the mother,
and the crone. The Triple Goddess represents many things such as
birth, life, death and the phases of the moon, waxing, full and
waning. Whilst in the form we recognise it may well be a modern
idea, it still gives a wonderful way of working with the goddess
and her phases, to help us evolve and understand our own pathway
through life and this journey can help you to embrace your own
personal power.
Witchcraft, astrology, divination and every kind of popular magic flourished in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, from the belief that a blessed amulet of wax could prevent the assaults of the Devil to the use of charms to recover stolen goods. At the same time the Protestant Reformation attempted to take the magic out of religion, and scientists were developing new explanations of the universe. Keith Thomas’s classic analysis of beliefs held on every level of English society begins with the collapse of the medieval church and ends with the changing intellectual atmosphere around 1700, when science and rationalism began to challenge the older systems of belief.
The 1616 classic treasure of Western esoteric wisdom, The Chemical
Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz, is one of three key manifestos of
the Rosicrucians and alchemists. It narrates a story of Christian
Rosenkreutz, who was invited to a miraculous castle to assist in
the 'chemical wedding' of the king and the queen. Filled with
alchemical metaphors, coded words and images, Dennis Klocek reveals
the profound meaning behind the colourful and surprising events
throughout the seven-day 'initiation' of Christian Rosenkreutz.
Each chapter is devoted to one of the seven days, featuring an
overview followed by fresh translations of the original text.
Illuminated by Klocek's comprehensive and unique commentaries, this
book offers an accessible introduction to the real meaning behind
the Rosicrucian path of inner development.
