"Nightshades is the record of one remarkable magician's exploration
of the inverse regions of the Tree of Life. Aleister Crowley's
Liber 231 provides the map and Kenneth Grant's Nightside of Eden a
travelogue. "Liber 231, apparently started life as a text within
the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as an exercise to develop
astral and trance abilities or perhaps in other more elaborate
rites. The nightside aspect requires some care and alertness in
case of accident. The correct attitude is said to be one of self or
ego-less witness. Or maybe it's just one needs Or maybe it's just
one needs the use of an all-embracing rather than a limited kind of
identity and self-identification?" "The Nightside is always with
us. It's so much older than the Dayside. Before the light began to
shine, the night was there. Some assume that we are dealing with a
simple polarity. On one hand the radiant world of colours and
forms, more or less thinkable, reasonable and meaningful. Like the
pretty picture of the Tree of Life it has its scenic cites, its
hotels, restaurants, shopping opportunities and highways in
between. On the other hand the chaotic world of uncertain and
incomprehensible mysteries. Both of them connected by the voidness
that makes them possible. It looks symmetrical. But when you reach
the Nightside it doesn't work like that. The Nightside is not
simply a reflection of the dayside with a few confusing and spooky
bits thrown in. The Dayside is a tiny island of experience in a
huge ocean, the Nightside, full of currents, island chains and
continents of the possible and impossible. All and Nothing are
present everywhere. Our island is not the opposite of the
world-ocean, it is simply a tiny and comprehensible part of it."
Jan Fries Nightshades comprises 72 intense drawings prefaced by an
explanatory essay detailing the background and genesis of this
ultimate magical adventure.

Kali Kaula is a practical and experiential journey through the land
of living magickal art that is Tantra, guided by the incisive,
inspired and multi-talented hands of Jan Fries. By stripping away
the fantasies and exploring the roots, flowers and fruits of
Tantra, the author provides an outstandingly effective and coherent
manual of practices. Acknowledging the huge diversity of Tantric
material produced over the centuries, Jan Fries draws on several
decades of research and experience and focuses on the early
traditions of Kula, Kaula and Krama, and the result is this
inimitable work which shines with the light of possibility. Unique
in style and content, this book is more than a manual of tantric
magick, it is a guide to the exploration of the inner soul. It
contains the most lucid discussions of how to achieve liberation in
the company of numerous Indian goddesses and gods, each of whom
brings their own lessons and gifts to the dedicated seeker. It is
also an eloquent introduction to the mysteries of the great goddess
Kali, providing numerous views of her manifold nature, and showing
the immense but hidden role played throughout history by women in
the development and dissemination of tantric practices and
beliefs.Jan Fries explores the spectrum of techniques from mudra to
mantra, pranayama to puja, from kundalini arousal to purification
to sexual rites, and makes them both accessible and relevant,
translating them out of the Twilight Language of old texts and
setting them in the context of both personal transformation and the
historical evolution of traditions. The web of connections between
Tantra and Chinese Alchemy and Taoism are explored as the author
weaves together many of the previously disparate strands of
philosophies and practices. This book challenges the reader to
dream, delight, and develop, and provides an illustrated guidebook
on how to do so. Bliss awaits those who dare.

mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween
approaches, there's only one problem - Llewellyn 'Wells' Penhallow.

just across the street from Gwyn's, he quickly learns that going up
against her won't be as easy as he thought . . . especially after
an accidentally magic-inspired - and very hot - kiss. While Gwyn

major divination systems that are part of the Western magical
tradition.Geomancy is simple, quick, and direct - anyone can get
answers to any question in a matter of moments by learning how to
read the patterns revealed by the 16 symbolic figures formed of
single and double points. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance,
geomancy was used by everyone from popes to peasants because it
provided practical, useful results.Often mistaken for feng shui or
ley lines, or hidden within poorly explained tables and charts,
geomancy has become something of a lost art - until now. Earth
Divination, Earth Magic provides a fascinating look into the
history, theory, and practice of geomancy, including a thorough set
of instructions for both casting and interpreting a chart for
yourself, or a friend.
