The second book in Cornelia Funke's internationally celebrated
trilogy - magical, thrilling and mesmerising. 'I don't think I've
ever read anything that conveys so well the joys, terrors and
pitfalls of reading' Diana Wynne Jones Although a year has passed,
not a day goes by without Meggie thinking of the extraordinary
events of Inkheart, and the story whose characters strode out of
the pages, and changed her life for ever. But for Dustfinger, the
fire-eater, torn from his world of words, the need to return has
become desperate. When he finds a crooked storyteller with the
magical ability to read him back, he sets in motion a dangerous
reversal that sees the characters of Inkheart transported to a
charmed Inkworld, about to be fought over by rival rebels and
princes ... A thrilling and magical series about stories and the
imagination they inspire Book 1, Inkheart, is now a major movie
starring Andy Serkis, Paul Bettany and Brendan Fraser! The
adventure continues in book 3, Inkdeath Cornelia Funke is the
critically-acclaimed, internationally bestselling author of Dragon
Rider and The Thief Lord
The past century has born witness to a growing interest in the
belief systems of ancient Europe, with an array of contemporary
Pagan groups claiming to revive these old ways for the needs of the
modern world. By far the largest and best known of these Paganisms
has been Wicca, a new religious movement that can now count
hundreds of thousands of adherents worldwide. Emerging from the
occult milieu of mid twentieth-century Britain, Wicca was first
presented as the survival of an ancient pre-Christian Witch-Cult,
whose participants assembled in covens to venerate their Horned God
and Mother Goddess, to celebrate seasonal festivities, and to cast
spells by the light of the full moon. Spreading to North America,
where it diversified under the impact of environmentalism,
feminism, and the 1960s counter-culture, Wicca came to be presented
as a Goddess-centred nature religion, in which form it was
popularised by a number of best-selling authors and fictional
television shows. Today, Wicca is a maturing religious movement
replete with its own distinct world-view, unique culture, and
internal divisions. This book represents the first published
academic introduction to be exclusively devoted to this fascinating
faith, exploring how this Witches' Craft developed, what its
participants believe and practice, and what the Wiccan community
actually looks like. In doing so it sweeps away widely-held
misconceptions and offers a comprehensive overview of this religion
in all of its varied forms. Drawing upon the work of historians,
anthropologists, sociologists, and scholars of religious studies,
as well as the writings of Wiccans themselves, it provides an
original synthesis that will be invaluable for anyone seeking to
learn about the blossoming religion of modern Pagan Witchcraft.

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'.
