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
In this groundbreaking new book, Serena Roney-Dougal relates the
world of Faery to magic, terrestrial magnetism, megaliths,
apparitions and UFO reports. Written in a way that combines her
scientific background with spirituality, this will appeal to people
of all types.
How to find deeper meaning in magical workings with Earth, Air,
Fire, Water and Spirit and connect with the Old Ways. Many
contemporary pagan books rarely go further than describing the use
of the elemental energies as markers in casting the Circle. In The
Power of the Elements we consider drawing on the energy from the
deepest levels of the ocean, the highest peaks of the mountains,
the limits of outer space and the path of the hurricane. And why it
is so important to return to the Classic Elements of the Greeks if
we really want our magic to work.
The most detailed analysis of the techniques of Solomonic magic
from the seventh to the nineteenth century ever published. This
volume explores the methods of Solomonic magic in Alexandria,

incarnation as the Key of Solomon. Discover specific magical
techniques such as the invocation of the gods, the binding of
demons, the use of the four demon Kings, and the construction of
the circle and lamen. The use of amulets, talismans, and
phylacteries is outlined along with their methods of construction.
Also included are explanations of the structures and steps of
Solomonic evocation, the facing directions, practical
considerations, the use of thwarting angels, achieving
invisibility, sacrifice, love magic, treasure finding and the

The members of the Web PATH Center, a pagan church and spiritual
community in Lyons, NY, wondered what would happen if they wrote a
book about sex. The book needed to be spiritual. It needed to be
sexy. It needed to be explicit. Sacred Sex and Magick is the
result. The group describes how ordinary ritual practices like
grounding and creating a cone of power involve sensuality and
rising kundalini energy. They explain how to use that power in
making magick happen. Then they share secrets of the Great Rite and
how to include the power of the sacred marriage at home. This book
is for people who want a spiritual path that involves the physical
ecstasy of sex and the dynamics of magick that works. Solitaries,
pagan partners and spouses, and people with spirit lovers will all
dance with the ecstasy found in this book.

The Typhonian deity Seth was once worshipped in Ancient Egypt.
Followers of later schools obliterated Seth's monuments, demonised
and neglected his cult. A possible starting point in the quest for
the 'hidden god' is an examination of the life of Egyptian King
Seti I ('He of Seth') also known as Sethos. When looking for an
astral temple that included all of the ancient Egyptian gods and
goddesses, the temple of Seti I proved itself worthy of
examination. Many secrets began to reveal themselves. The essence
of the real philosophy of the Sethian and indeed what Satanism is,
stems from the author's astral wanderings in this temple. The
temple is a real place, and like any temple no part of its design
is accidental. It is a record in stone and paint of the Egyptian
wisdom. It also fits quite well with the Thelemic mythos and tells
lots of interesting things about the ancient Seth cult - if you
have the eye to see it. Contents: Prolegomena to Egyptian magick;
Setanism; Tankhem; Egyptian Magick and Tantra; Sexual Magick;
Twenty Eight; North; The Crooked Wand.
Apophenion attacks most of the great questions of being, free will,
consciousness, meaning, the nature of mind, and humanity's place in
the cosmos, from a magical perspective. Some of the conclusions
seem to challenge many of the deeply held assumptions that our
culture has taught us, so brace yourself for the paradigm crash and
look for the jewels revealed in the wreckage. This book contains
something to offend everyone; enough science to upset the
magicians, enough magic to upset the scientists, and enough
blasphemy to upset most trancendentalists.
Many regard alchemy as a metaphor for inner transformation. But
this is only half the story. According to Catherine MacCoun,
alchemy is no mere metaphor. It's real magic. Transforming the
inner world is, for the alchemist, a way to transform the outer
world. Through studying the principles of alchemy, we can achieve
extraordinary effects from ordinary actions by understanding how
the world really works. We can perceive the hidden connections
between the spiritual and the material worlds. Knowledge of these
connections enables us to influence external phenomena through the
powers of heart and mind alone. Yet alchemy is not, like some forms
of magic, the exercise of mind over matter. It is the art of taking
what already exists--whatever presents itself--and transmuting the
harmful into the helpful, the useless into the valuable. "On
Becoming an Alchemist" initiates us into these secrets, showing us
how to think, perceive, and operate as an alchemist. It offers
practical advice and exercises that will help the modern magician
to:
● Understand and apply basic principles of alchemy
● Transmute setbacks, failures, and losses into sources of magical
power
● Navigate one's inner world with poise, confidence, and common
sense
● Intuitively show up in the right place at the right time to
benefit from magical coincidences
● Discover the potentials latent in any situation by awakening
subtle perception
"A treasure trove of practical magic for both novices and more
experienced practitioners . . . beautifully crafted spells that
invoke the alchemy of possibility."--PanGaia
A leaf from an oak tree . . . a wildflower . . . water from a
sparkling stream . . . dirt from a cool dark cave--these are the
age-old tools of natural magic. Born of the earth, possessing
inherent power, they await only our touch and intention to bring
their magical qualities to life.
The four elements are powerful magical tools. Using their
energies, we can transform ourselves, our lives, and our world.
This much-loved, classic guide offers more than seventy-five
spells, rites, and simple rituals you can perform using the
marvelous powers of the natural world. Scott Cunningham was a
greatly respected teacher and one of the most influential members
of the modern Craft movement. A practitioner of elemental magic for
twenty years, he wrote more than fifty books, including the seminal
Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner.

A 'Sadhana' is an instrument that leads to a particular goal. In
Tantra, it is a technical term denoting worship or spiritual
practice. Tantra Sadhana is a collection of related instructional
papers designed to aid the aspirant through a foundation Sadhana.
Some say effective Sadhana requires an initiation (dekshe) from a
qualified guru. This book is designed to act as a taster and to
provide a short body of work suitable for the period of about one
lunar month. In addition, the author had added several useful
appendices - including the previously unpublished Tantrik Knuckle
Bone Oracle.
