Why do rainbows always appear around your late father’s birthday?
Why does the phone ring just when you’re thinking of calling a
friend? The universe is sending you signs, if you’re aware enough
to notice and interpret them. Some are from loved ones who have
passed on, and some are from the universe itself, guiding you
toward where you need to go. This journal will help you figure out
what the signs mean, and help you get better at recognizing them
when they appear.
Explore the Tarot through the beauty of nature as seen in images
drawn within the silhouettes of the Maple, Apple, Oak, and Birch
leaves.Utilizing color to convey the meanings on 78 artistic Tarot
cards, each card is represented by a leaf in which innovative
images and symbols are hidden. Colorful and intricate, the leaf
image overlaps the imagery message and vice versa. The magician
phrase, "Now you see it; now you don't," surely applies as, with
each reading, some images are noticed and seem to "pop" from the
leaf, while other symbols are overlooked to be seen at another
time. Enjoy the simple beauty of nature as you explore the roots of
Tarot.Includes cards and book.
Advancing to higher levels of ritual magic with purpose and power
requires an exaltation of consciousness-a spiritual transformation
that can serve as an antitode to the seeming banality of modern
life.
Based on Kabbalistic techniques, the teachings of the Hermetic
Order of the Golden Dawn, and an Hermetic tradition spanning nearly
two thousand years, this innovative new work introduces the history
of the Golden Dawn and its mythology, the Tree of Life, Deities,
demons, rules for practicing magic, and components of effective
ritual.
A comprehensive course of self-initiation using Israel Regardie's
seminal "Golden Dawn" as a key reference point, "Kabbalah, Magic
and the Great Work of Self-Transformation" guides you through the
levels of the Golden Dawn system of ritual magic. Each grade in
this system corresponds with a sphere in the Kabbalistic Tree of
Life and includes daily rituals, required reading, written
assignments, projects, and additional exercises.
Knowledgeable and true to tradition, author Lyam Thomas Christopher
presents a well-grounded and modern step-by-step program toward
spiritual attainment, providing a lucid gateway toward a more
awakened state.

Elegantly designed and gorgeously illustrated, The Path of the
Witch presents the key paths and practices of witchcraft.

working with plants and herbs for magic and medicine? You may be a
Green Witch. Is the kitchen and home space sacred to you? Are you
able to tap into the sensory and healing properties of food for
spellwork? Is cooking an intentional act for you? You may be a
Kitchen Witch. Are you able to easily connect with the spirit world
or the liminal realms? You may be a Hedge Witch. Can you do many
practices with ease? You may be an Eclectic Witch. The Path of the
Witchdescribes the many different types of witches, their gifts and
abilities, and their practices. Each path shows readers activities
and rituals that they can use to discover and explore that type of
witchcraft and discern which one is the fit for them.

A classic text on esoteric traditional herbalism from one of the
most influential herbalists of the Paris occult revival * Includes
a dictionary of nearly 300 magical plants with descriptions of each
plant's scientific name, common names, elemental qualities, ruling
planets, and zodiacal signatures, with commentary on medico-magical
properties and uses * Explores methods of phytotherapy and plant
magic, including the Paracelsian "transplantation of diseases,"
ritual pacts with trees, the secret ingredients of witches'
ointments, and the composition of magical philters * Explains the
occult secrets of phytogenesis, plant physiology, and plant
physiognomy (classification of plants according to the doctrine of
signatures) Merging the scientific discipline of botany with
ancient, medieval, and Renaissance traditions of occult herbalism,
this seminal guide was first published in French in 1902 as a
textbook for students of Papus's Ecole hermetique and sparked a
revival in the study of magical herbalism in early
twentieth-century France. Author Paul Sedir, pseudonym of Yvon Le
Loup (1871-1926), explains the occult secrets of phytogenesis (the
esoteric origin and evolutionary development of the plant kingdom),
plant physiology (the occult anatomy of plants), and plant
physiognomy (classification of plants according to the doctrine of
signatures). Unveiling the mysteries behind planetary and zodiacal
attributions, he provides readers with the keys to make their own
informed determinations of the astral properties of plants. Moving
from theory into practice, Sedir explores various methods of
phytotherapy and plant magic, including the Paracelsian
"transplantation of diseases," the secret ingredients of witches'
ointments, and the composition of magical philters. In the third
section of the book, Sedir offers a dictionary of magical plants
that covers nearly 300 plant species with descriptions of their
astral signatures, occult properties, and medico-magical uses.
Compiled from an array of rare sources and esoterica, this classic
text includes a wealth of additional materials and supplemental
charts and diagrams drawn from Sedir's occult colleagues, all of
whom adopted and expanded upon Sedir's pioneering system of plant
correspondences.

On a summer night in a quiet living room in Illinois something
miraculous occurred. God, or as they prefer to be called, "All
there is, was, and ever shall be," began to speak verbally through
Elliott Eli Jackson to his wife, Diane. During this occurrence,
Elliott spoke of things that he could have no knowledge or
understanding of and he appeared to be in a semi-conscious state.

encounters. Additionally, Elliott began to type automatic messages.

to both of them. It is a miraculous book about God's pure love for

controversy, you will find it stimulating reading.
