'Once one is fairly competent at practical sorcery, there is little
of importance that remains to be said or read about the subject;
the magician at this point tends to emphasize inner development in
his work. It seems to me that Chaos Magic itself has reached this
point; the basic ideas needed for anyone to construct his or her
own system of sorcery and to hone their skills are already covered
by the available books. What has been lacking so far, is a Chaos
magical approach to the investigation of the ecstatic states that
underlie magical gnosis. This book, rather than trying to provide
yet another slightly different flavour of Chaos technique, takes as
its starting point the relationship between ecstasy and magic;
between Chaos Magic and Chaos Mysticism, if you like.' from page 8
"Chaotopia is neither Utopia nor its opposite. It is what Austin
Osman Spare called 'the chaos of the normal', seen through an
illuminated eye, the eye of the sorcerer." Chaotopia includes
updates and evaluations of techniques in Chaos Magick and an
exploration of ecstatic states in relation to both magick and
mysticism. Also chapters on: Wealth Magick/Conflict and
Exorcism/Sex Magick/Body Alchemy and Healing/Magick and
Physics/Chaos Illumination/Spirits/Aeonics 'A highly intelligent
book by a leading Chaos Magician which will broaden and deepen
Chaoist debate, theory and practice.' Peter J. Carroll

Dion Fortune was the pen-name of Violet Firth, one of the most
luminous and striking personalities of the 20th Century, the womans
answer to Aleister Crowley. This new, revised, expanded and
beautifully-written edition tells the full story of a woman who hid
behind a veil of secrecy and who became a cult figure in the years
after her death in 1946. A brilliant writer and pioneer
psychologist, her whole life was devoted to living out an eternal
Myth in a story that can be told in terms of Virgins and Dragons,
Moons and Oceans, and the spirit of the land itself. As a powerful
psychic and medium, obsessed with the study and practice of Magic,
and a high-grade initiate within the Hermetic Order of the Golden
Dawn, her career was never entirely in this world, and her
companions not always human. In her own eyes she was a Priestess, a
channel for the Great Goddess, an exponent of the time-lost
Mysteries of Women long before the present generations of feminists
and goddess-worshippers were ever born. Includes: her birth in
Llandudno, Wales her years in Somerset, the patterns of her life
her early career as a psychoanalyst her nervous breakdown her time
as a Land Girl her developing psychism her memories of past lives

with a man she believed to be non-human her fraught marriage to a

Take one part of the world''s oldest spiritual system (shamanism),
mix in one part of one of the world''s most popular spiritual
cultures (the Celts), and bring it up to date by blending in modern
forms of shamanism. The result is one of the most amazing books
you''ll ever use, D. J. Conway''s "By Oak, Ash, & Thorn."
This book is filled with information that can start you on a
lifetime of study, practice, and spirituality. First, you''ll learn
about ancient and modern forms of shamanism. You''ll discover the
secrets of the three shamanic worlds, and how you can travel
through these mysterious realms. You''ll be shown how to
communicate and deal with the entities and allies you meet there.
You''ll also learn about the tools that a shaman uses.
The thing that makes this book unique is that it comes from the
viewpoint of Celtic shamanism, and not some generalized form. As a
result, the worlds are specifically Celtic in nature. The tools
come from Celtic myth and lore. The fifty entities you meet are
named and defined as the Faery Folk and their kin -- from the Bean
sidhe (banshee) to the Will o'' the Wisp (a faery who appears at
night in lonely places carrying a lantern to confuse travellers).
Almost fifty more animal allies are listed and described. You will
also learn the mysteries of the vision quest and how it applies and
can be used by Celtic shamans.
Before starting your journey you will take a test to determine your
strengths and weaknesses as a potential shaman.
