Food is magical, not just because of the amazing tastes, flavours
and aromas but also for the magical properties it holds. The magic
starts with the choice of food to use, be added in whilst you are
preparing and cooking then the magic unfolds as people enjoy your
food. Dishes can be created for specific intents, moon phases, and
rituals, to celebrate sabbats or just to bring the magic into your
family meal. Many food ingredients can also be used very
successfully in magical workings in the form of offerings, medicine
pouches, witches bottles and poppets. Let's work magic into your
cooking...

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dead, which many have claimed are subjects which should not be
published.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.
This is a comprehensive compendium of insights and techniques for
the direct application of Dr Timothy Leary's Eight-Circuit Brain
model for Intelligence Increase. What Dr Leary posited as theory
("Exo-Psychology") and Dr Robert Anton Wilson brilliantly
demonstrated in socio-political, mathematical and intellectual
proofs ("Prometheus Rising"), Antero Alli has extended into
tangible tasks, exercises, rituals and meditations towards an
embodied realisation of brain change through first hand experience.
"Angel Tech" challenges the reader to redefine 'Intelligence'
according to his own direct experiences and finally, dares us to
live accordingly. In print for over twenty years, this classic
'performance' book has been republished with the author's 2008
Update on his most recent research results.
Re-written with much new material Completely new illustrations
& 3 bonus short stories "The wit and wisdom of Mark Ramsden's
illuminating text delivers a gripping journey through a rich seam
of sexual expression. Read this book, enjoy this book, for it
deserves your utmost attention. Over 40? Fat? The style gurus say
you're not sexy, not horny, this book says 'Bollocks!' An essential
reference work...And bloody good fun too."
The second revised edition of this remarkable book brings together
some of the most talented, controversial and rebellious people of
our time. The essence of independence has been to think and act
according to standards from within, not without. Inevitably anyone
with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes
authority or established conventions': a rebel. If enough people
come to agree with, and follow, the Rebel, we now have a Devil.
Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we
have - Greatness.
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.
Part One: Dual-authorship of the Clan of Tubal Cain's Legacy
defining 50 years of its organic evolution. Originating from within
an unpublished ms written by Evan John Jones, the former Magister
of the Clan since Robert Cochrane's death in 1966, it serves
Testament to the Will of Fate and Tenacity of Spirit here
expressed, from its inception under Robert Cochrane through Evan
John Jones' own record of the Clans beliefs and practises to those
of the Current bearers of this mantle, depicting the interweaving
of Wyrd in the vital process of its existence and continuity in
Troth to its Tutelary Spirit: The Star-Crossed Serpent
We change and develop 'the past' with narrative, and we create 'the
future' by re-mixing the stored elements in order to continue it
onwards. All the verbal tenses cluster around the same mighty
place, the same source of narrative and mythic significance. The
people had a name for this place: the Well of Urdhr, Anglo-Saxon
wyrd, one of three Norns of fate, Urdhr, Verdhandi and Skuld, who
cluster around the Well. These Norns are mighty beings, beyond and
above the gods, in the sense that they are eternal and know the
fates, the rise and fall of the gods themselves. They are watchers
of the Well and helpers to the Tree. The Tree, which contains all
the worlds in present time, all the branches of the Now, is
nourished at its roots by the Well's waters. 'Bright From the Well'
consists of five stories plus five essays and a rune-poem. The
stories revolve around themes from Norse myth - the marriage of
Frey and Gerd, the story of how Gullveig-Heidh reveals her powers
to the gods, a modern take on the social-origins myth Rig's Tale,
Loki attending a pagan pub moot and the Ragnarok seen through the
eyes of an ancient shaman. The essays include examination of the
Norse creation or origins story, of the magician in or against the
world and a chaoist's magical experiences looked at from the
standpoint of Northern magic.' Dave Lee coaches breathwork, writes
fiction and non-fiction, blends incenses and oils, creates music
and collage.
Be warned! This book contains descriptions of practices which might
be considered as horrid or shocking to most in the Western world.
The extensive case histories and rituals expose what is perhaps the
most unspeakable (and, for its practitioners, unspoken) taboo of
the Western psyche: the union of sex and religion. This is a
must-have for those interested in Sex Magick, Chaos Magick,
Thelema, and the Golden Dawn.
Long considered the best single introduction to the Qabalah for
magicians, the third edition of Israel Regardie's A Garden of
Pomegranates is now better than ever, thanks to the extensive
annotations and new material by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha
Cicero. Their work has made A Garden of Pomegranates easier to
understand, more complete, and up to date. It now includes over 300
pages of never-before-published information from two Senior Adepts
of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. --Expands Regardie's
definitive text into a practical manual for Qabalistic magic
--Includes pathworkings and guided visualizations for the 32 Paths
of Wisdom --Suggests a course of study for learning the Qabalah and
incorporating its teachings into daily life --Shows how to create
your own personal Qabalistic mantra using gematria or Hebrew
numerology --Includes a technique for Rising on the Planes, so you
can explore different Qabalistic worlds --Features a Middle
Pillar-style exercise for exploring and activating different parts
of the soul --Written by one of the most influential magical
teachers of modern times and two of his personal students
The Qabalah is the ancient system of Hebrew mysticism that is
the foundation of Western magical and esoteric studies. Its primary
symbol is the Tree of Life, a diagram that can aid in the study of
the nature of the Universe, the essence of God, and the human mind,
spirit, and soul. A Garden of Pomegranates is the clearest
introductory guide on this subject. When Israel Regardie wrote A
Garden of Pomegranates in 1932, he designed it to be a simple yet
comprehensive guidebook outlining the complex system of the Qabalah
and providing a key to its symbolism. Since then, it has achieved
the status of a classic among texts on the Qabalah. The full
annotations, critical commentary, and explanatory notes now make
this book the ultimate single resource on the subject. The new
material, including pathworkings, exercises, daily affirmations,
rituals, meditations, and more, not only complement the original,
full text included in this edition, but also make A Garden of
Pomegranates indispensable for modern magicians.
