From Dr. Stephen Skinner and the Golden Hoard Press comes a
historical grimoire that features a fascinating blend of high magic
and local village magic. Originally a handbook for a working
sorcerer, this book includes a wealth of magical workings in
addition to a treasure trove of critical astrological information,
including a unique set of astrological tables that are generally
absent from other grimoires. Going beyond the planetary days and
hours, A Cunning Man's Grimoire reveals detailed aspects of timing
and magical operations connected with the 28 Mansions of the Moon
and image magic, which rarely appear in Solomonic grimoires. This
practical manual of magic is strongly influence by Arabic and
Indian roots, placing it at the crossroads of several powerful
magical streams.
The Book of the Law, the holy text that forms the basis of Thelema,
was transmitted to Crowley by the entity known as Aiwass in Cairo,
on three successive days during April 1904. Acting as a medium,
Crowley recorded the communications on hotel notepads and later
organized his automatic writing into a short, coherent document.
Aiwass/Crowley presents The Book of the Law as an expression of
three god-forms in three chapters: Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
Witchcraft and Moon Magic for a Deeper Practice The Moon: Living,
playing and working in tune with her rhythms can change your life

that it wraps around the world. She has the power to transform your
life, you have the power within you to do the same...
Rae Beth, author of the bestselling Hedge Witch, here blends the
ancient traditions of hedge witchcraft with our modern concerns for
the natural world. Working in liminal places and with wild spirits,
she shows how we can both help to heal the human relationship with
the natural world and cast spells of increase for threatened
species. The Green Hedge Witch is based in the knowledge that we
are part of nature, not apart from Her and that this gives us our
power and potential as well as our responsibilities. And therefore,
by the use of rites, spirit journeys and elven help, we can work
heartfelt healing magic. This is a book for the budding spellcaster
as well as the experienced hedge witch.
Best-selling occult author and magician, Lon Milo DuQuette, wraps
his turban on to become--"Baba Lon"--answering letters and
questions of magick and mysticism (sent for over 20 years by both
adepts and idiots, saints and psychotics). This is DuQuette at his
best and most outrageously candid.
"There are no stupid questions..."he laments..."just stupid
people." (Later he makes a half-sincere apology for that
remark.)
Peppered generously with DuQuette's drawings and magical
verses, "Ask Baba Lon" is guaranteed to delight, entertain and (if
YOUR turban isn't wrapped too tight) ENLIGHTEN you.
The point, line, plane and solid objects represent the first three
dimensions, but a kind of reversal of space is involved in the
ascent to a fourth dimension. Steiner leads us to the brink of this
new perspective-as nearly as it can be done with words, diagrams,
analogies, and examples of many kinds. In doing so, he continues
his lifelong project of demonstrating that our objective, everyday
thinking is the lowest rung of a ladder that reaches up to
literally infinite heights. The talks in this series and the
selections from the question-and-answer sessions on many
mathematical topics over the years are translated into English for
the first time in THE FOURTH DIMENSION. They bring us to
tantalizing new horizons of awareness where Steiner hoped to lead
his listeners: Topics include: * The relationship between geometric
studies and developing direct perception of spiritual realities *
How to construct a fourth-dimensional hypercube * The six
dimensions of the self-aware human being * Problems with the theory
of relativity * The Trinity and angelic hierarchies and their
relationship to physical space * The dimensional aspect of the
spiritual being encountered by Moses on Mt. Sinai
Presents more than 600 magical prescriptions for healing and
protection from both pagan and Christian sources * Examines the
practice of diagnosing illness through magic and explores ancient
beliefs about curses and other evil spells and about devils,
demons, and ghosts * Includes spells from the heavily guarded gypsy
tradition of magic and healing, drawn from newly discovered
materials Since the beginning of history, people have sought
remedies for the many ills that have beset them, from illnesses
afflicting the body to threats posed by evil and hostile
individuals. In many folk healing and pagan traditions, it was
believed that one must gain the assistance of the guardian spirit
of a healing plant or substance through prayers or offerings before
its chemical properties would be effective. Drawing on his
extensive knowledge of ancient texts, Claude Lecouteux presents
more than 600 magical prescriptions from both pagan and Christian
sources from the last 2,000 years, covering everything from
abscesses and shingles to curses and healing animals. He explores
ancient beliefs about curses and about devils, demons, and ghosts
and provides an in-depth look at protection magic, including
protection of health, animals, and cultivated land, protection
against curses, witchcraft, bad weather, and beasts, protection of
a home, and protection while traveling. He includes spells from the
heavily guarded gypsy tradition of magic and healing, drawn from
newly discovered materials collected by two Romanian ethnologists
who lived and traveled with gypsies in Transylvania in the mid-19th
century. The author also reproduces rare texts on magic healing
from the 14th and 15th centuries. Revealing the vitality of these
practices in the remoter areas of Eastern Europe, Lecouteux shows
how the influence of this pagan worldview is still detectable in
the work of modern folk healers in France and Scandinavia.
This is the 20th Anniversary edition of the book which contains new
material by Lon Milo DuQuette! The book gives the student immediate
access to the world's most powerful yet misunderstood system of
Magick. Crowley's work on the Enochian system was originally
published in The Equinox, his 10-voulme journal of Scientific
Illuminism. It was the launching pad for all that followed.
Originally published in 1912, it rent the veil of the Inner Order
of the Golden Dawn and revealed its most precious jewel for all to
see. Lon Milo DuQuette is a recognised expert on Enochian Magick
who brings four decades of practical experience in the field to
show you how to start using this powerful system right now. It is
the aim of this book to offer in a practical format, Liber LXXXIV
vel Chanokh, Crowley's original presentation of basic Enochiana,
and make it immediately useful for the student who wishes to make
use of it now. This coupled with Israel Regardie's fine Enochian
Dictionary and pronunciation guide provides the reader with the
minimum material necessary to get started. For the advanced student
it offers practical instructions and the opportunity to re-evaluate
the original information that the greatest magician of the 20th
Century felt was most necessary to master first. This second
revised edition of the book was edited by David Cherubim.
