Prepare thyself! This famous magical grimoire is a powerful tome,
purportedly written by King Solomon, the 10th-century monarch
rumored in legend to be a master magician himself. Deciphered from
ancient documents found in the depths of the British Museum, this
1888 work-translated by one of the most notorious Victorian
occultists-was the first appearance in the English language of the
hidden secrets and potent incantations of the Old Magic. Discover
the archaic mysteries of. . exorcising demons . laying curses .
rendering oneself invisible . making a magic carpet . claiming
treasure possessed by spirits . and much more! British magician and
eccentric SAMUEL LIDDELL MACGREGOR MATHERS (1854-1918) also wrote
The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage and The Kabbalah
Unveiled.
The story of King Solomon has fascinated spiritual and religious
writers for millennia - this book advances a theory that Solomon
was infact a Magi who created many of the rituals, spells and
symbols important to occultists. Although the idea that Solomon
carried some sort of mystical powers is not new, this book purports
to be written in the ancient king of the Jews' own hand. The
magical symbols and diagrams which are situated alongside the
various rituals and incantations are intricate, containing
pentacles and other shapes. Towards the end of the book a large
table is appended, detailing a selection of mystical alphabets and
their English. For his investigation, Mathers delved deep into the
archives of the British Museum, unearthing an old French manuscript
of the text which he duly translated into English. He also
replicated the diagrams and symbols; these efforts resulted in this
modern English version of the old Solomon manuscripts, and an
increase in interest toward writings hitherto obscure.
WITCHCRAFT AND THE BLACK ART - A BOOK DEALING WITH THE PSYCHOLOGY
AND FOLKLORE OF THE WITCHES By J.W. Wickwar. Originally published
in London in the early 1900s, this scarce early work on Witchcraft
is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Obscure
Books Press have now republished it, using the original text and
artwork. The old craft of the witches was a close order. Its
members were sworn to secrecy. Although some records were kept,
very few of these still exist today. In early ecclesiastic and in
mediaeval literature, however, references to witchcraft are
numerous. This book endeavours to set out in an interesting manner
the story of the craft from earliest times. The book's three
hundred and twenty pages contain fourteen comprehensive chapters:
Witchcraft: A Primitive Cult. - Initiation and Ceremony. - Spells,
The Evil Eye, and Possession. - Practical Witchcraft. - Witchcraft
on the Continent. - Werewolves and Vampires. - Blood and Fire in
England. - Demons and Mascots. - Witch Hunting cameos. - A Typical
English Witch Trial. - Witchcraft in America. - Witchcraft
Phantasmagoria. - A Typical Witch Tract. - The Last Phase. This
book will prove a fascinating read for anyone interested in the
occult arts, and will provide much information to historians of
this hitherto arcane subject. "What are these So wither'd, and so
wild in their attire, That look not like the inhabitants o' the
earth. And yet are on't?" Banquo.
LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES--NOT EVEN DEATH
Dr. Elisa Medhus never believed in life after death. As an
accomplished physi-cian, she placed her faith in science. All of
that changed after her son Erik took his own life and then reached
out from the other side.
Intimate, heartbreaking, and illuminating, go on an incredible
journey from grief and skepticism to healing and belief. Based on
Medhus's wildly popular blog, Channeling Erik, "My Son and the
Afterlife" provides answers to the most universal questions of
being human.
At once tragic and uplifting, Erik speaks from the other side with
candor, wisdom, and depth as he describes his own experiences and
provides new answers about the nature of souls, death, and the
afterlife--answers that have the potential to change our lives
forever.
Do I believe in angels? This is the question of the century. I'd
like to take a minute to share a different concept of angels. The
beautiful angels with golden halos and soft, gossamer wings, seen
floating around mysteriously searching for people to help are only
seen in pictures. I believe angels do exist and can be found in our
thoughts as an explanation for something we can't explain in any
other way. Angels are God's thoughts passing to mankind and there's
an angel thought with each of us, ever present, always available to
comfort. The Bible tells us that we will hear what God, the Lord,
will speak. All we need to do then is to be still and listen for
these soft voices from a benevolent God who loves us
unconditionally. There's an angel thought reflecting every idea
needed by humanity. The stories that follow are all true. Each one
demonstrates the power in listening for the still, small voice. Ask
me again. Do I believe in angels? Yes, of course, they are the
continuous flow of right ideas from God to man.
As a Kurd in an increasingly hostile Iraq in the 1970s, David
wanted to fulfill his mother's dream for him: To become a U.S.
citizen-no small feat given that he was not allowed to leave Iraq.
In his own words, David provides unique insights into Iraq under
the rise of Saddam Hussein, and tells of the seemingly
insurmountable obstacles that he overcame to meet this dream, of
his new life in America, and of the many challenges,
disappointments, and betrayals along the way. This is also the
story of how David chose to listen to the lessons of the universe.
Introduced to angels through a meeting with an intuitive, David's
newfound knowledge and his intuition led him to Dr. Wayne Dyer,
Doreen Virtue and Deborah King, and increased his awareness of
"divine orders"-instructions from the universe. David shares his
amazing journey, his connection to God and the angels, his
certification as an angel therapy practitioner, and how he finally
understood that nothing happens by accident. Only by accepting that
the heartache in his life was in divine order did he decide to
trust God and the angels, and realize that there were better things
waiting for him. David has learned how to stand on his own, and
invites you to trust along with him that everything will happen in
divine timing and divine order, including your life's mission.
Just when you thought you'd seen and heard everything ... another
demon speaks
There are presently too many manifestations of negative, disruptive
and counter-productive phenomena in the Body of Christ for those
who claim to be authentic disciples to sit still, philosophizing,
twiddling their fingers and basking in ignorance...as though Satan
and his demons had gone on an extended vacation, overseas.
This book seeks to unearth several of the diabolic roots that are
responsible for the strangulation of numerous churches and the
destruction of careless, casual, undiscerning Christians, right
across the globe. It deals with controversial topics that are often
branded "taboo" by the religious status quo and which we would
normally discuss only in our most secret chambers, if any at all.
"If I Were A Demon (Part 2)" acknowledges that a fierce, ongoing
Spiritual Battle exists between the two opposing forces, and that
human beings make daily choices that will either cripple or empower
them in their quest for survival on this tumultuous planet.
