psychology, reincarnation, demonology, cosmology and mysticism,

Compiled from original manuscripts and fragments in the British Museum Library, Joseph Peterson, s new presentation is the most complete and accurate edition of this famous magical grimoire, "The Lesser Key of Solomon the King". He goes to great length to establish the provenance of each part, and possible derivative works, including critical analyses of all major variations, utilizing fresh translations of earlier magical texts such as Johann Trithemius's Steganographia, The Archidoxes of Magic by Paracelsus, and newly discovered Hebrew manuscripts of the original Key of Solomon. He also outlines the sources and omissions in previous, modern editions. Included in this comprehensive edition are: -- Goetia -- The ritual invocation of evil spirits and Solomon's devices for binding them; -- Theurgia Goetia -- Slightly less diabolical than Goetia, this part continues the study of spirits "partly good and partly evil; " -- Ars Paulina -- Outlines the good spirits or angels governing the hours of the day and the signs of the zodiac, purported to have been discovered by the Apostle Paul after he had been snatched up to heaven. Includes "The Conjuration of the Holy Guardian Angel; " -- Ars Almadel -- Attributed to an Arab of the same name, it describes twenty beneficial spirits that govern the zodiac; -- Ars Notoria -- With roots that go back to 13th-century Latin manuscripts, and probably even earlier oral traditions, this collection of orations or prayers is interspersed with magical words said to have mystical properties that can impart communion with God and knowledge of divine and human arts and sciences; -- Appendices, which include addenda found in Sloane manuscript Johann Weyer's Psuedomonarchia demonum, and variant examples of some drawings. Abundantly illustrated, Peterson includes reproductions of the original magical circles, tools, and seals of the spirits with variations of certain drawings from various sources and notae missing from earlier editions. He draws on the most recent research by esoteric scholars such as Claire Fanger, George Mora, John Shea, Claudia Rohrbacker-Sticker, I. P. Couliano, Robert Turner, Adam McLean, and others, making this an essential addition to the library of any student of ritual magic and the Western Mystery Tradition.

So for its own amusement, it became the Universe, infiltrated it
with living consciousness, and now enjoys the ongoing interaction
from every possible perspective. We are eyes of God, together with
every cat and rat, frog and fly, and through us God's omniscience
is assured. But by participating in this consciousness, we share
its energy, and thus its power. So magick is simply a question of
learning how to exploit our access, and how best to regard the
possibilities we thus discover. Psychic energy is a separate stuff
which, though it has its usual origin in living tissue, may act
independently of it to spawn events consistent with its character.
Magick is a psychic technology, a set of techniques and an attitude
that enable the practitioner to manipulate psychic energy so it
generates reality in accordance with his or her will. "Taking
Power" offers a dynamic understanding of this technique, and a
vivid grasp of the attitude. From astral projection, the binding of
spirits, power spots and the subtle body to the Holy Guardian Angel
and magickal ethics, Stephen Mace presents it all in terms of the
dynamics of psychic energy, without regard for any symbolic
orientation. Thus the dynamics may be applied to any orientation,
or to no orientation at all, so long as one's ideology admits to
one's right to deal with reality in this way -- with the
obligations and the privileges of the Creator.

The religious and magical practices of the ancient Egyptians have
had a profound and lasting effect on the world. Egypt has been
described as the "mother of magicians." To appreciate the Egyptian
view of magic, we need to accept that to the Egyptians magic was
not considered strange or eccentric, but was a part of daily life,
to which everyone resorted. Magic blended seamlessly with religion
and medicine, being seen as part of a holistic worldview. In this
volume these magical and religious practices are explored, from
both a historical and practical perspective. The practices are
explored from an ancient Egyptian worldview, taking into
consideration that the Egyptian culture spread over a period of
more than 3000 years. The Egyptians saw the universe as being made
of four worlds - the everyday world we live in, the underworld, the
sky and the heavens. Subject covered in this book include: -What is
Heka? -Ancient Egyptian Worldviews -The Gods and Goddesses of Magic
-Symbolism - Colours & Sacred Numbers -The Tools Used -Sacred
Words & Gestures -Statues & Masks -Crystals & Other
Materials used in Heka -Incenses & Perfumes -Food & Wine
used in Offerings & at Feasts -The Ancient Egyptian Magical
Calendar -Purification, Sacred Space & Rituals David Rankine is
based in London (UK) and is a respected authority on spiritual
& magical practices. He is the author of many books, including
Climbing the Tree of Life, Circle of Fire & The Guises of the
Morrigan. This book, HEKA - The Practices of Ancient Egyptian
Magic, is the result of careful research & practical work and
is highly recommended to students wishing to pursue practical work
within this system.

Experience the Primal Spiritual Path of Ancient Egypt The spiritual
traditions of Ancient Egypt are well documented and are at the
forefront of the Western Mystery and Magical Tradition. But they
are a gloss over a more primal "shamanic" tradition which gets to
the essence of Nature and its relationship with humanity, life and
death. This book is a practical manual for those who wish to
explore that primal spirituality using Egyptian symbolism. As Egypt
was one of the village cultures, so Egyptian shamanism was one of
the first to operate in an urban environment, making its techniques
suitable for modern times. Egyptian Shaman paints the picture of
what it was like to be a village priest in Ancient Egypt before
describing the practical techniques which would have been employed
during those times. These techniques, which have never been
revealed before, have been adapted for modern minds with the
intention of making this a practical spiritual path. The book
controversially contains a chapter on exorcism and dealing with the
dead, which many have claimed are subjects which should not be
published. It shows how later Egyptian texts, such as the Book of
the Dead, were Shamanic guide books to the Underworld. This is a
book containing the keys to transmute, not only the self, but the
whole planet.
