........................................ Magic doesn't always play
by the rules. Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves
Glen. She's formed a powerful new coven with her family; she's
running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked; and she's
mentoring some of the younger witches in town. As Halloween
approaches, there's only one problem - Llewellyn 'Wells' Penhallow.
Wells has come to Graves Glen for two reasons: to re-establish his
family's connection to the town and to make a new life for himself
away from his father. But when he opens a magic shop of his own
just across the street from Gwyn's, he quickly learns that going up
against her won't be as easy as he thought . . . especially after
an accidentally magic-inspired - and very hot - kiss. While Gwyn
and Wells are fully committed to their witchy rivalry, they soon
find themselves thrown together once again to deal with the sudden
appearance of a mysterious new coven and Gwyn's growing concern
that something - or someone - is messing with her magic . . .

A visual feast of eclectic artwork informed and inspired by
spiritual beliefs, magical techniques, mythology and otherworldly
experiences. Mystical beliefs and practices have existed for
millennia, but why do we still chase the esoteric? From the
beginning of human creativity itself, image-makers have been drawn
to these unknown spheres and have created curious artworks that
transcend time and place - but what is it that attracts artists to
these magical realms? From theosophy and kabbalah, to the zodiac
and alchemy; spiritualism and ceremonial magic, to the elements and
sacred geometry - The Art of the Occult introduces major occult
themes and showcases the artists who have been influenced and led
by them. Discover the symbolic and mythical images of the
Pre-Raphaelites; the automatic drawing of Hilma af Klint and Madge
Gill; Leonora Carrington's surrealist interpretation of myth,
alchemy and kabbalah; and much more. Featuring prominent,
marginalised and little-known artists, The Art of the Occult
crosses mystical spheres in a bid to inspire and delight. Divided
into thematic chapters (The Cosmos, Higher Beings, Practitioners),
the book acts as an entertaining introduction to the art of
mysticism - with essays examining each practice and over 175
artworks to discover. The art of the occult has always existed in
the margins but inspired the masses, and this book will spark
curiosity in all fans of magic, mysticism and the mysterious.
In the public imagination Satanism is associated with bizarre
rituals, perverse hedonistic lifestyles, heavy metal music,
immature adolescents acting out, horror movies, and rumors of
ritual abuse. But what are the facts behind the urban legends and
the "moral panics" that periodically sweep the country regarding
this countercultural phenomenon? This authoritative reference work
gathers together scholarly studies of Satanism and original source
material, focusing on two major aspects-organized religious
Satanism and the Satanic Ritual Abuse hoax that was prevalent in
the 1980s and early 1990s. The contributors first examine modern
Satanism, a decentralized movement whose only coherence is based on
certain themes that date back to the writings of Anton Szandor
LaVey, especially his Satanic Bible. Among other factors, the
authors discuss how the emergence of the Internet as a form of
communication has created some coherence among disparate groups
through cross-reference. Many articles are devoted to the Satanic
Ritual Abuse scare, an erroneous belief in a vast underground
network of Satanists who were abusing children. For years members
of the law enforcement community and numerous therapists,
encouraged by the hype of mass media, bought into this panic. Other
topics include the role of the media in the perceptions of Satanism
and Satanic Ritual Abuse, juvenile delinquency and Satanism, and
police pursuit of satanic crime. The volume concludes with primary
source material, including a report from the Ritual Abuse Task
Force and selections from current Satanism groups. This objective
reference work will be useful for professionals in many fields and
members of the public interested in sorting out the facts from the
myths surrounding this controversial subculture.
Here is a complete guide to the lost art of geomancy - one of the
major divination systems that are part of the Western magical
tradition.Geomancy is simple, quick, and direct - anyone can get
answers to any question in a matter of moments by learning how to
read the patterns revealed by the 16 symbolic figures formed of
single and double points. During the Middle Ages and Renaissance,
geomancy was used by everyone from popes to peasants because it
provided practical, useful results.Often mistaken for feng shui or
ley lines, or hidden within poorly explained tables and charts,
geomancy has become something of a lost art - until now. Earth
Divination, Earth Magic provides a fascinating look into the
history, theory, and practice of geomancy, including a thorough set
of instructions for both casting and interpreting a chart for
yourself, or a friend.
This book is an investigation into the sphere of production and use
of two related bilingual magical handbooks found as part of a
larger collection of magical and alchemical manuscripts around 1828
in the hills surrounding Luxor, Egypt. Both handbooks, dating to
the Roman period, contain an assortment of recipes for magical
rites in the Demotic and Greek language. The library which
comprises these two handbooks is nowadays better known as the
Theban Magical Library. The book traces the social and cultural
milieu of the composers, compilers and users of the extant spells
through a combination of philology, sociolinguistics and cultural
analysis. To anybody working on Greco-Roman Egypt, ancient magic,
and bilingualism this study is of significant importance.
A conclusive understanding of reality remains elusive despite
millennia-long efforts to uncover it. In The Kabbalah Method,
renowned Kabbalist Rav Berg looks to the original spiritual wisdom
for answers. This illuminating book, based on decades of study,
takes readers on a journey that begins before the universe came
into existence, in the infinite, endless realm of total fulfilment
and perfection. By understanding the microcosm that is within
everyone, says Berg, it is possible to connect with the macrocosm
that is the infinite power of the universe, thereby taking that
power into oneself and using it to find new meaning in being alive.
This book is addressed to seekers on all levels who want to begin
or continue the journey toward deeper understanding. Using the
Kabbalistic principles explained here, readers acquire a new sense
of self that can transform their inner and outer lives.
In the book Medium7, Canadian researcher and author Donna
Smith-Moncrieffe shares insight from her journey to find truth
about the nature of existence. Smith-Moncrieffe provides engaging
cases studies and uses rigorous scientific methods to determine the
existence of an afterlife and the extent to which mediums can
accurately predict the future. Through extensive interviews with
ten gifted mediums and their clients, Smith-Moncrieffe reveals an
in-depth look into how mediums interact with the spirit world and
communicate with the deceased, how thoughts create reality, and how
reincarnation impacts mankind's existence.
She also inspires others to embark on their own personal
journeys of discovery to learn more about the purpose of life and
become more confident about the final destination.
Medium7 shares a range of ground-breaking studies involving
mediums, near death experiences, and past life regression therapy
to provide knowledge, courage, and hope for anyone interested in
understanding more about the true nature of our universe and
mankind's existence--now and for eternity.
