First published in 1896, "The Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum" is
an interesting dissertation on the ruling of the world by the seven
great archangels written by Éliphas Lévi, (1810 - 1875), a French
author of occult literature and ceremonial magician. In this vintage
volume, Lévi outlines how the world is ruled by one of the seven
archangels, each for a period of 354 years. The archangels are
represented by celestial bodies, with Michael being the sun, Gabriel
being the moon, Samael, Mars, etc. This volume will appeal to those
with an interest in the occult, and it is not to be missed by
collectors of vintage esoteric literature. Contents include: "The
Magical Ritual of the Sanctum Regnum", "The Priestess - La Papesse",
"The Empress - L'imperatrice", "The Emperor", "L'Emereur", "The Pope of
Hierophant - Le Pape", "The Lovers - L'amoureux", "The Chariot of
Hermes - Le Chariot", "Justice - La Justice", etc. Many vintage books
such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with
this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable,
modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new
biography of the author.
Would you recognize an angel if you saw one? The majority of
earth's inhabitants believe in Angels. Yet so few of us can claim
to have seen one. Why? Perhaps it's because in order to encounter
one, we first have to learn what to look for, and how to look! We
live in a world where the natural and supernatural overlap. Angels
are constantly on mission from God, and constantly at work in this
world. From the Garden of Eden to the Book of Revelation, Scripture
is filled with hundreds of references to these wondrous creatures.
In this creative work, Scot McKnight explores what the Bible says -
and doesn't say - about these majestic beings. And that's deeply
important, because angels are still on mission today. They express
God's love, confirm His presence, and even lead humans in
redemptive worship. Don't just believe in angels. Learn how to
recognise these messengers of God that are all around us and know
how God might be using them to affect our lives.
Tarot cards have been used for over five hundred years, for gameplay,
divination, creative inspiration and spiritual practice. The practice
of reading Tarot comes with a rich, complex history, full of mystical,
philosophical, and religious mystery. As old as the art form may be,
its popularity in modern culture is growing rapidly- Tarot decks and
cartomancy play a significant role in many present-day metaphysical
healing practices, spiritual training, as well as artistic and creative
circles...
With detailed illustrations and cryptic symbolism, Tarot can easily
pique your interest--but where should you begin? There is an
overwhelming amount of information out there, and since Tarot is an
esoteric practice, it's difficult to know which sources have enough
authority to provide accurate and reliable instruction...
In truth, there is no right way to use Tarot, nor is there a wrong way.
The practice of cartomancy is all about intuition. If you don't
consider yourself a deeply intuitive person, then the cards can be used
to enhance your emotional instincts. Alternatively, if you are already
guided by your visceral sensations, you might use Tarot to articulate
and explain your gut instincts, elevating the things you feel to things
you believe, understand, or "know"...
The only way to know how useful and impactful Tarot could be in your
life is to try it. Roll up your sleeves and dive in, whether you
already have a deck or are simply considering how and where to acquire
one. The best time to get started is right now...
