The political philosopher and writer William Godwin (1756-1836), who was also the husband of writer Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Mary Shelley, was known for his philosophical works and novels. In this work, originally published in 1834, Godwin turns to the issue of the supernatural, and to some of the famous - and sometimes unexpected - people associated with it. He begins by defining some magic practices, such as divination, astrology, and necromancy, giving examples of the latter from the Bible. The remainder of the work consists of brief sketches of people and places involved in the occult world, beginning in the Ancient Middle East and Greece, surveying the Christian era in Europe, and ending with the New England witch trials. In a remarkable work of synthesis, he discusses apparently supernatural episodes in the lives of many historical figures, from Socrates and Virgil to Joan of Arc and James I.
This book, translated and edited by the occultist Samuel Liddell Mathers (1854-1918) and published in 1889, introduced to Victorian England an important work of Renaissance esoterica. Purportedly the deathbed testament of King Solomon to his son, distilling all the angelic wisdom he received in his lifetime, it provided its readers with detailed instructions in conjuring, divining and summoning God's power to work 'experiments', or spells. For Mathers, it represented 'the fountain-head and storehouse of Qabalistical Magic' and formed a central part of his efforts to lend scholarly respectability to occult research. Mathers edited the text using available manuscripts at the British Museum, and it continues to offer authoritative and fascinating insight into both Renaissance occultism and its Victorian revival. Features of this edition include introductions from three distinct manuscripts, a table of the planetary hours and their magical names, and spells for producing invisibility, creating magic carpets and identifying thieves.
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.
Spellweaving is an ancient art that threads its way back through the centuries, embracing many cultures and belief systems. Throughout the ancient tales and mysteries, the spirit of enchantment has remained constant, rooted in nature, working with the energy of the universe, and rewarding those who approach it with humility and a generous heart. All the spells in this book have been crafted by Sally Morningstar to maintain the balance between give and take, and to harness powers not for personal gain but for the greater good. The spells are presented as profound pieces of magic that need to be prepared for with cleansing, blessings and consecration. The book covers all you need to know to weave your own spells and is dedicated to the Magical Heart that beats within us all. It contains all you need to enter a world of mystery, fulfilment and affirmation.
Reality versus fiction is at the heart of the current literary debate. We live in a world of docu-drama, the 'real life' story. Works of art, novels, films, are frequently bolstered by reference to the autobiography of the creator, or to underlying 'fact.' Where does that leave the imagination? And who gets to define the parameters of 'reality' and 'fiction' anyway? Five writers debate the limits of materialism and realism, in art and literature - and offer a passionate defence of the alchemical imagination in a fact-based world.
For centuries, the ceremonial evocation of spiritual beings has been Magic's darkest corner. Reputed to fulfil the Magician's material desires, evocation has been the topic of the most famous Grimoires - the Grammars of Magic. From the "Sworn Book of Honorius the Magician", to the "Greater Key of Solomon and the Goetia"; from the Grand Grimoire, to the complete treatise of the Lemegeton, all give direct, yet difficult, directions to the individual desiring to have the 'good life' in the here-and-now. But the simplest of Grimoires, the "Heptameron of Peter de Abano", has escaped the attention of modern Ceremonialists. Its simplicity and power in summoning the Aerial Spirits is second to none. This book lays bare the operation of the Heptameron. Its Magical Axioms, extensive Commentaries, copious notes, and personal instructions to the reader - all gained from Dr Lisiewski's forty-years of study and practice in Ceremonial Magic.
Within each of us is the potential to manifest greater fulfillment,
love, and light into every area of our lives. Through the magic and
mysticism of the Qabala, you can gain a greater understanding of
your spiritual nature and unique talents, and use them more
positively and creatively in your life.
Anyone familiar with H. P. Lovecraft's work knows of the
Necronomicon, the black magic grimoire he invented as a literary
prop in his classic horror stories. There have been several
attempts at creating this text, yet none stand up to Lovecraft's
own descriptions of the Necronomicon . . . until now. Fans of
Lovecraftian magic and occult fiction will delight in Donald
Tyson's "Necronomicon, " based purely within Lovecraft's own
fictional universe, the Cthulhu Mythos.
