Now, for the first time, a book reclaims the lost, rich heritage of
working with faery folk that our pagan ancestors took as a matter
of course. Learn to work with and worship with faeries in a
mutually beneficial way. Practice rituals and spells in which
faeries can participate, and discover tips to help facilitate faery
contact. Photos and illustrations.
This collection of rituals, practices, and exercises has been drawn
from many sources; some have been preserved in their original
state, and some rituals have been updated by scholars from various
pagan groups. This deluxe one-volume edition has been specially
designed to be read by candlelight.
There have been many grimoires attributed to St Cyprian of Antioch
due to his reputation as a consummate magician before his
conversion to Christianity, but perhaps none so intriguing as the
present manuscript. This unique manuscript (unlike the more rustic
examples attributed to St Cyprian called the Black Books of
Wittenburg, as found in Scandinavia, or the texts disseminated
under his name in Spain and Portugal) is directly in line with the
Solomonic tradition, and therefore relevant to our present series
of Sourceworks of Ceremonial Magic. It is unique in that instead of
being weighed down with many prayers and conjurations it addresses
the summoning and use of both the four Archangels, Michael,
Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel as well as their opposite numbers, the
four Demon Kings, Paymon, Maimon, Egyn and Oriens. The later are
shown in their animal and human forms along with their sigils, a
resource unique amongst grimoires. The text is in a mixture of
three magical scripts, Greek, Hebrew, cipher, Latin, (and reversed
Latin) with many contractions and short forms, but expanded and
made plain by the editors. The title literally means 'The Key of
Hell with white and black magic as proven by Metatron'.
With the vision of an historian and the voice of a novelist,
prize-winning author John Demos explores the social, cultural and
psychological roots of the scourge that is witch-hunting, both in
the remote past and today. "The Enemy Within" chronicles the most
prominent witch-hunts of the Western world - women and men who were
targeted by suspicious neighbours and accused of committing
horrific crimes by supernatural means - and shows how the fear of
witchcraft has fueled recurrent cycles of accusation, persecution
and purging. A unique and fascinating book, it illuminates the dark
side of communities driven to rid themselves of perceived evil, no
matter what the human cost.

was so obscure. The end, the year 2242, will please the reader to

charlatans.
Discovered in a hidden compartment of an old chest long after his
death, the secret writings of John Dee, one of the leading
scientists and occultists of Elizabethan England, record in minute
detail his research into the occult. Dee concealed his treatises on
the nature of humankind's contact with angelic realms and languages
throughout his life, and they were nearly lost forever. In his
brief biography of John Dee, Joseph Peterson calls him a "true
Renaissance man, " detailing his work in astronomy, mathematics,
navigation, the arts, astrology, and the occult sciences. He was
even thought to be the model for Shakespeare's Prospero.
All this was preparation for Dee's main achievement: five books,
revealed and transcribed between March 1582 and May 1583, bringing
to light mysteries and truths that scholars and adepts have been
struggling to understand and use ever since. These books detail his
system for communicating with the angels, and reveal that the
angels were interested in and involved with the exploration and
colonization of the New World, and in heralding in a new age or new
world order. While Dee's influence was certainly felt in his
lifetime, his popularity has grown tremendously since. His system
was used and adapted by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and
subsequently by Aleister Crowley.
This new edition of John Dee's Five Books of Mystery is by far
the most accessible and complete published to date. Peterson has
translated Latin terms and added copious footnotes, putting the
instructions and references into context for the modern reader.
