Grimoires began simply as quick-reference "grammar books" for
sorcerers, magicians, and priests before evolving into
comprehensive guides to magic, complete with spell-casting rituals,
magical alphabets, and instructions to create amulets and
talismans. With the advent of the printing press, some grimoires
were mass produced, but many of the abbreviations were
misinterpreted and magical words misspelled, rendering them
ineffective. The most powerful grimoires remained not only secret
but also heavily encoded, making them accessible only to the
highest initiates of the magical traditions. Drawing on his own
private collection of grimoires and magical manuscripts as well as
his privileged access to the rare book archives of major European
universities, Claude Lecouteux offers an extensive study of ancient
books of magic and the ways the knowledge within them was kept
secret for centuries through symbols, codes, secret alphabets, and
Kabbalistic words. Touching on both white and black magical
practices, he explains the basic principles of medieval magic,
including the doctrine of names and signatures, mastery of the
power of images, and the laws of sympathy and contagion. He gives
an overview of magic in the Western Mystery tradition, emphasizing
both lesser-known magicians such as Trithemus and Peter of Apono
and famous ones like Albertus Magnus and Hermes Trismegistus.
Creating a universal grimoire, Lecouteux provides exact
reproductions of secret magical alphabets, symbols, and glyphs with
instructions for their use as well as an illustrated collection of
annotated spells, rituals, and talismans for numerous applications
including amorous magic, healing magic, and protection rites. The
author also examines the folk magic that resulted when the high
magic of the medieval grimoires melded with the preexisting pagan
magic of ancient Europe.
This book presents a tale with a complete, concise, compelling
narrative that conveys some of the essence of the discovery,

'Everything shifts in the Caucasus, blown by some of the strongest
winds on earth. Even the ground moves, splintered by fault lines.
In early Georgian myths, it is said that when the mountains were
young, they had legs - could walk from the edges of the oceans to
the deserts, flirting with the low hills, shrouding them with soft
clouds of love' - Griffin, 2001, p.2. But what about those aspects
of life which remain relatively constant - the traditional
practices of the mountain people, the practices that are reflected
in their folktales and their folklore? It is these constants that
this study concentrates on, in particular those that relate to
shamanism.
Learn the basics of runes and how to use them to reveal the future
and make your life better and more enjoyable. This accessible and
beautifully designed guide includes a frameable poster of runes and
their essential meanings. Runes are the letters of the ancient
Norse alphabet, but each letter contains secret, mysterious
meanings used for magical purposes. Unlike tarot cards, playing
cards, and even chess pieces, runes don't reflect the lives of
historical kings, queens, and courtiers. Instead, they focus on the
legendary gods of the Norse and Saxon peoples, created to explain
the world and its inhabitants. The runes have ancient roots but
continue to offer relevant and down-to-earth messages for those who
possess a basic understanding of them. Rune readings can throw
light on murky situations and offer advice on how solve problems,
move forward in life, and predict the future. To unlock the full
potential of these powerful symbols, you'll discover: the mythology
behind each rune the various meanings of each rune how to lay out
runes in spreads for a rune reading how to make your own runes the
secrets of rune casting and rune magic Read them for yourself or
cast them for friends and family. The more you use them, the better
you'll become at giving accurate readings, earning the respect
accorded to the rune readers of old. Combining elegance and
expertise, this is your essential modern guide to an ancient
tradition. The In Focus series applies a modern approach to
teaching the classic body, mind, and spirit subjects. Authored by
experts in their respective fields, these beginner's guides feature
smartly designed visual material that clearly illustrates key
topics within each subject. As a bonus, each book includes
reference cards or a poster, held in an envelope inside the back
cover, that give you a quick, go-to guide containing the most
important information on the subject.

J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy is not only a seemingly
inexhaustible source of wonder and excitement, it is also a
profound tale, relevant to our times and to the vital question:
what is it to be a human being? Why have these books proved so
captivating since their publication, discovered anew by each
generation? Is there a deeper aspect to the stories that speaks
directly to something within us? Many scholars and commentators
have asked these or similar questions, delving into his unique use
of language, his deep knowledge of the aesthetics of story within
the heritage of mythic storytelling, and his ability to weave
together myriad themes. However, few if any have approached the
deeper aspects of Tolkien's work with the spiritual esoteric
insights of Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy as their basis. Mark
McGivern adopts this approach while also building upon the work of
Tolkien scholars such as Verlyn Flieger. This is an illuminating
guidebook to the forms and depths of Tolkien's master work.

This deck combines mystical Sufi wisdom with classic tarot
archetypes recast as Sufi concepts and figures, offering a new lens
on the traditional tarot system. Sufism is often called the path to
the heart because it is a process of turning within to the
fountainhead of all knowledge through the opening and purification
of the heart. In tarot, we meet the carefree fool, the enigmatic
magician, the mystical high priestess, the commanding emperor, the
nurturing empress and more - archetypes that represent the many
qualities that each of us must call upon on as we follow the
'Fool's Journey' through life. Both Sufism and the tarot call the
reader to walk the path of self-discovery and inner-knowing,
uncovering secrets not to predict the future, but to discover
answers to the big questions: Why are we here? Why do we feel the
way we feel and act the way we do? What is our purpose in this
life?
