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.

In this vivid account, Kryiacos C Markides introduces to us the
rich and intricate world of Daskalso, The Magus of Strovolos. In
what appears at first to be an exercise in fantasy, we see Daskalos
draw on seemingly unlimited mixture of esoteric teachings,
psychology, reincarnation, demonology, cosmology and mysticism,
from both eastern and western traditions. But Daskalos is first and
foremost a healer, whose work is firmly rooted in a belied in
'Holyspirit' or absolute love, and whose aim is the expansion of
reason and spiritual evolution.

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.

Alchemical practices have been reborn in our contemporary world under the rubric of Jungianism, transpersonal psychology, or depth psychology. But in Alchemical Psychology, Thom F. Cavalli, Ph.D., takes us directly to the source—and on a wonderful adventure into the true nature of our hearts and minds. In a book that sparkles with verve, life, and practicality, Dr. Cavalli explains how alchemy was one of humankind’s earliest efforts to transform the nature of consciousness. What little-known or underground arts did alchemists practice in pursuit of self-transformation—and how can they enrich us today? Using the same practices that he employs with patients, Dr. Cavalli offers readers a plethora of personal exercises that, among other things, enables them to “type” themselves according to ancient alchemical identifiers of nature and personality. He then provides practices that can help free them from the grip of familiar problems and foster true personal growth. Beautifully illustrated with medieval prints from the alchemical tradition, Alchemical Psychology gives readers both a richer understanding of their own natures and of the traditions on which many of our modern therapies are based.
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.
