Anyone can be a witch! Perfect or not, who cares at the end? The
irony of the title lies exactly in that: today, to be a witch is
not to be perfect, but rather to look at the world differently, to
be aware of the power of nature, and to use it for personal
benefit. A book for modern witches that wants to be also, and
especially, a way to empower the reader, to not homologate to other
people's judgement: it includes 50 moments to be a witch, seeking
personal strength and uniqueness. This book introduces to magic as
a tool for personal growth: from the most intimate and personal
situations to the public and social ones, every moment is the right
moment to let go of the ordinary in favour of magic. A book that
can make us change our point of view on what surrounds us, the
people and ourselves, thanks to a witchlike (or a simply
boundaries-free!) approach
An exploration of our extraordinary shift away from materialism
toward renewal of the numinous, mysterious, and uncertain *
Examines topics that evoke widespread misunderstanding, including
the real history of secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic,
Gnosticism, Hermeticism, out-of-body experience, and the
contemporary war on witches * Looks at the influence of the
founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville
Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker
David Lynch, and debunks famous pseudo-skeptics such as the Amazing
Randi * Explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick,
mind metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and Ouija boards, and
upends hallowed spiritual concepts like forgiveness All of us today
dwell in uncertain places--realities in which thoughts make things
happen, ESP is provable by the scientific methods once used to
debunk it, UFOs are mainstream, and magick no longer requires rite
and ritual but is as near as your own mind. Today's leading voice
of esotericism and the occult, Mitch Horowitz explores topics that
evoke widespread misunderstanding, including the real history of
secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic, the relevance of
Gnosticism, and the slender but authentic connection between
today's spiritual culture and antiquity, including in areas of
Hermeticism, deity worship, out-of-body experience, and magick. He
demonstrates the occult roots of wide-ranging facets of modern
culture, including politics, abstract art, mind-body healing,
self-help, and breakthrough scientific fields such as quantum
physics and neuroplasticity. He looks at the influence of the
founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville
Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker
David Lynch, and provides a magnificent take-down of famous
debunkers and pseudo-skeptics such as the Amazing Randi. He
explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick, mind
metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and the history of Ouija boards
and questions time-honored spiritual values like forgiveness. Mitch
also examines the contemporary war on witches around the world and
what it is like to be blacklisted. Offering a thought-provoking
investigation of the spiritual, the occult, the magickal, and the
extra-physical, Mitch lays the groundwork for readers to continue
their own journeys into these esoteric streams of consciousness.

influential American practitioner of the magical arts. The
notorious Voudou Queen of New Orleans dispensed charms and potions
(even saving several condemned men from the gallows), told
fortunes, and healed the sick. SAINT LUCIA is the bearer of light
in the darkness of winter. She is the patron saint of the blind,
authors, cutlers, glaziers, laborers, martyrs, peasants, saddlers,
salesmen, and stained glass workers. YEMAYA is the Yoruba Orisha or
Goddess of the living Ocean, considered the mother of all. She is

Africa, especially the River Ogun. She is associated with the
Orisha Olokin (Who is variously described as female, male, or
hermaphrodite), Who represents the depths of the Ocean and the
unconscious, and together They form a balance. She is the sister
and wife of Aganju, the God of the soil, and the mother of Oya,
Goddess of the winds. The Mystical Handbook series from Wellfleet

Who did you talk to about sex when you were a kid? If you're a
Millennial, chances are your answer is "nobody." In this
all-inclusive look into a man's world, author Michael McPherson
shines a light on what it was like for the men of his generation to
mature sexually, and why so many still haven't. He explores what's
currently in the way of men experiencing an empowered relationship
with sex and what they can do to take back their power. Along the
way, Michael brings to light some of the less understood nuances of
sex including sex energy, sexual desire, and the purpose of sex.
Captivating, rich, and heart-wrenchingly vulnerable, Everything You
Never Learned About Sex is a revolutionary blueprint for men to
deconstruct their inherited relationship to sex, step outside the
cultural norm, say 'no' to the further manipulation of their sex
energy, and rebuild a relationship with sex on the basis of love
instead of fear. Michael, through his self-reflective insights,
on-the-court shares, and 'how-to' embodiment practices, empowers
his audience to reclaim their stolen innocence, restore their
heart, honor sex as sacred, and use their sex energy to create more
love in the world.

How may we find happiness and peace? In this book, Rupert Spira
distils the message of all the great religious and spiritual
traditions into two essential truths: happiness is the very nature
of our self or being, and we share our being with everyone and
everything. Drawing on numerous examples from his own experience,
Spira demonstrates that to seek lasting happiness through objects,
situations and relationships is destined for failure and
disappointment, and skilfully guides the reader to recognise that
we are already the happiness we seek. This book is for anyone who
yearns for lasting happiness and is open to the possibility that it
is continuously available within ourselves, irrespective of our
circumstances. Could there be any greater discovery in life than to
know that we are already that for which we long? 'Rupert Spira's
articulate and very intimate style of teaching is truly
transformational. I've read and treasure all of his books.' -
Rhonda Byrne, author of The Secret and The Greatest Secret 'Let
Rupert Spira, one of the finest teachers of the present time,
gently guide you home to your innate peace and happiness.' - Peter
Russell, author of Letting Go of Nothing 'I've gained deeper
understanding listening to Rupert Spira than I have from any other
exponent of modern spirituality. Reality is sending us a message we
desperately need to hear, and at this moment no messenger surpasses
Spira and the transformative words in his essays.' - Deepak Chopra,
author of You Are the Universe, Spiritual Solutions and Super Brain
