In many ways, Arbatel is unique among texts on magic. Unlike the
vast majority of writings, it is clear, concise, and elegantly
written. The practical instructions are straightforward and
undemanding. When it first appeared in 1575, it attracted the
attention of people with a surprisingly broad range of agendas,
including some of the finest minds of the time. Often quoted and
reprinted, both praised and condemned, its impact on western
esoteric philosophy has been called "overwhelming." Arbatel's magic
is full of wonder and free from the sinister elements usually
associated with texts on the subject. But it is about more than
magic; filled with gnomic wisdom, it urges us to help our
neighbors, be positive and grateful, and use time wisely. Above
all, it teaches us to pay attention, looking for the wondrous and
miraculous. In fact, to the author this virtually defines the
magus. Included are illustrations, bibliography, index, and
original Latin text.

In The Synchronicity Key, David Wilcock goes beyond this new
understanding to investigate how our universe works. Using history
and astrology, as well as new research into fractals, spiritual
geometry and quantum physics, Wilcock demonstrates that there is a
hidden architecture within time which guides individuals and
nations through a system of enlightenment (which Joseph Campbell
called the Hero's Journey). Historical events occur in shockingly
precise and repeating cycles of time and once the hidden laws
governing our fate through seemingly random 'synchronicity' are
identified we are left with a remarkable blueprint of how to lead
our lives in an uncertain world. David Wilcock's understanding of
the living fabric that binds the universe together is behind his
knowledge of synchronicity, the connections between seemingly
unrelated events, and how we are guided by it. Synchronicity is a
means to awaken us to our true identity, the thoughts we think and
the actions we take are being guided by hidden cycles that repeat
throughout the universe and time. David Wilcock is our guide to
this new world.
The things that people in the modern Western world consider
"occult/' secret, forbidden, or irrational-amulets and talismans,
omens and divinations, spells and charms, spirits good and evil-are
part of everyday life in many parts of the world, and have been for
generations. In this fascinating book, occult scholar and
practitioner John Michael Greer shines light on 100 of the dramatic
incidents, arcane knowledge, and colorful historical figures from
occult traditions over two and a half millennia-from the earliest
alchemists of ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Greece; to pagan rituals;
the Philosopher's Stone; Kabbala; the first tarot; the Knights
Templar; to the Nazi Thule Party; fortunetelling trials; and the
birth of modern witchcraft, or Wicca. Each entry illustrated with a
stunning image or intriguing item of ephemera.
In the living room of a London flat, a man stands naked and
blindfolded. His wrists are bound together behind his back with red
cord, which is looped round his neck and holds his arms up to make
a triangle. A white cord is tied round his right ankle. What do
witches do? What is it like to be a witch? Experience the process
through the eyes of Stewart Farrar, author, journalist and witch,
as he describes in detail in this new paperback edition for 2021
the activities and practices of modern-day witches. Principles of
healing and clairvoyance as well as rituals, invocations and
initial rites are covered in depth as Farrar accompanies the reader
into the personal life of his own coven.
We were given life to love God and others. Born in nature and to
a lost world with a determined enemy, few ever learn how to love.
Be still. Know Him who is love and wants to become love in you.
Living is a passage in time through a sea of relationships
without a map. Storms of confusion and conflict throw us off
course. Most will be lost in the sea. We cannot find our way alone.
The Word of God, the abiding Jesus and the Holy Spirit are with us
every moment, revealing and guiding us to love the way God
does.
By way of allegory, a metaphor about wild Maine blueberries, a
testimony and essay, the essential form of God's love is
illuminated in A Prophecy of Love to encourage and inspire you.
Partake of His greatest blessing and become a light for Him in your
life.
The Dream of the Cosmos is the story of a multi-layered quest to
understand the causes of human suffering and to reconnect with a
deeper reality than the one we inhabit in this physical dimension
of experience. It seeks to answer the questions: "Who are we?" and
"Why are we here, on this planet?" It is offered to those who are
looking for something beyond the superficial values of our culture,
who may be disillusioned with religious and secular belief systems
as currently presented and who question political values which are
deeply mired in the pursuit of power. It is written with two
voices: one the voice of a personal quest and the other which
explores the historical and psychological causes that have brought
into being our present view of reality.
When a new highway forces a North Carolina church to relocate
its cemetery, a century-old mystery of major significance to its
Cherokee neighbors is also unearthed.
Now both communities must work together as the high price of
progress tears through sacred land. The church enlists their
Cherokee neighbors to assist with the relocation efforts, and the
crew makes a startling discovery. The resulting investigation
uncovers important information about the residents' past and
creates an unexpected link across history in the stories of Cistoo
and Lokie, two young Cherokee women.
Cistoo, born in 1790, had a dream. Not even the loss of her
parents when she was a child and tribal shunning could stop her
from becoming the first female shaman of her nation. Lokie, a
contemporary Native American teen, likens the so-called progress to
the dislocation of her people by the American colonists. These two
young women from different centuries each come of age in the
pursuit of shamanism and social justice.
Can the answers to the modern graveyard mystery include
redemption for both women?
This title presents Orage's commentaries on 'Beelzebub's Tales to
