Take one part of the world''s oldest spiritual system (shamanism),
mix in one part of one of the world''s most popular spiritual

forms of shamanism. The result is one of the most amazing books

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.

Paracelsus, the father of modern medicine, was a controversial
16th-century scientist and healer who challenged the medical
world's reliance on classical texts and abstract reasoning with his
holistic approach, an approach that will strike a chord with many
people today, in an age where alternative medicine is becoming more
and more popular. This book fills the long-standing gaps in our
knowledge of the man and his work.
A bold exploration of the reintegration of rationality and
intuition, science and soul, to foster individual and planetary
healing During the scientific revolution, science and soul were
drastically separated, propelling humanity into four centuries of
scientific exploration based solely on empiricism and rationality.
But, as scientist and ecologist Stephan Harding, Ph.D.,
demonstrates in detail, by reintegrating science with profound
personal experiences of psyche and soul, we can reclaim our lost
sacred wholeness and help heal ourselves and our planet. The book
begins with compelling introductions to depth psychology, alchemy,
and Gaia theory--the science of seeing the Earth as an intelligent,
self-regulating system, a theory pioneered by the author's mentor
James Lovelock. Harding then explores how alchemy, as understood
through the depth psychology of C. G. Jung, offers us powerful
methods of reuniting rationality and intuition, science and soul.
He examines the integration of important alchemical engravings,
including those from L'Azoth des Philosophes and the Rosarium
Philosophorum, with Gaian science. He shows how the seven key
alchemical operations in the Azoth image can help us develop deeply
transformative experiences and insights into our interconnectedness
with Gaia. He then looks at how the four components of the living
Earth--biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere--mesh
not only with the four elements of alchemical theory but also with
the four functions of consciousness from depth psychology. Woven
throughout with the author's own experiences of Gaia alchemy, the
book also offers guided meditations and contemplative exercises to
open your receptivity to messages from the biosphere and help you
develop your own Gaian alchemical way of life, full of wonder and
healing.
