The Book of Black Magic is Arthur Edward Waite's magnum opus of
occult lore; this edition contains the author's original icons,
symbols, seals and drawings. This supreme guide to occultist
history, lore, magick, and ceremony is split into two parts: The
first is entitled ""The Literature of Ceremonial Magic."" Here,
Waite examines the ritualistic traditions which surrounding the
occult movement for centuries. He notes various texts, and how
these had a bearing upon the practice of the occult and of magical
ceremony. The second part, ""The Complete Grimoire,"" concerns how
those who practice black magic and occult ritual become versed in
the craft. The stringent physical and mental requirements, and the
need to practice a spiritual attunement and inner ablution, is
detailed. Astronomical knowledge of the planets and their movements
is a necessity, as is possession of a variety of instruments, plus
a deep knowledge of the various symbols and scripts used in
occultism.
Inner Child Cards is a tarot system that helps us interact with the
world's most potent archetypes. The authors assign an archetypal
childhood story to each image in the traditional tarot deck.
Cinderella aligns with the Moon card, traditionally associated with
the power of dreams and visions. Sleeping Beauty parallels the
Death card with its theme of personal metamorphosis. Little Red Cap
stands in for the Fool (the innocent). Before the Age of Reason
higher learning was transmitted through archetypal characters in
stories and fairy tales. In modern times these all-important
stories have been relegated to a secondary position, with no
recognition of their deeper meaning. The whimsical art and familiar
characters of the Inner Child Cards will awaken dormant emotional
memory that has been trapped in long-forgotten childhood stories.
Tarot has always had an uncanny capacity to act as a "hall of
mirrors" reflecting the true trajectory of life. By referencing
fairy-tale archetypes, Inner Child Cards gives adults an especially
clear reflection of the child within and imaginative access to the
soul's own personal truth. And because of their playful nature,
these cards are equally well suited for use with children.
