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.
A complete beginner's guide to understanding and harnessing the
mysterious forces of nature.
- Provides tools for self-initiation into the ancient and secret
traditions of ceremonial magic.
- Explains various divination systems and how to perform ancient
rituals that open the doorway to secret and arcane knowledge.
True magic can be defined as the art and science of using
little-known or forgotten natural forces in order to achieve
changes in consciousness and the physical environment. It concerns
a wide body of doctrines and techniques, including the conjuring of
spirits and non-human entities; the manufacture and consecration of
wands, swords, talismans, and other tools of the magus; ritual
divination; and the exploration of universes other than that with
which we are familiar. The masters who taught others these ancient
arts are gone, but "Techniques of High Magic" provides the
practical and lucid instruction necessary for self-initiation into
these secret traditions.
Emphasizing the ordered nature of the universe and the power of
will directed by imagination, Francis King and Stephen Skinner
introduce the reader to magical practices, rituals, and instruments
that have been used for centuries. They explain systems of
divination such as the I Ching, the Tarot, and geomancy, as well as
techniques of astral projection and elementary alchemy. Their
disciplined approach to magical practice includes easy formulas and
diagrams that will help the initiate navigate an ancient and potent
universe of gods, angels, and spirits--the world of High Magic.

fire rituals and divine invocations Stephen Flowers explores the

Prophet Zarathustra, is known in the West under the name
Zoroastrianism. The author reveals how all other known systems of

self-development, and empowerment, but also the overall betterment
of the world. The author details a complete curriculum of magical
study and initiation based on a series of graded exercises keyed to
the sacred Zoroastrian calendar. Providing a manual for the
original magical system used by the members of the Great
Fellowship, this book guides you toward the comprehensive practice
