THE BOOK OF ST. CYPRIAN: THE SORCERER'S TREASURE is a translation of one of the most complete Portuguese grimoires attributed to St. Cyprian of Antioch, O GRANDE LIVRO DE S.CYPRIANO OU THESOURO DO FEITICEIRO, including extensive commentaries on the history of Western Iberian Bruxaria and Feiticaria, Catholicism, the blood war of Old and New Christians, the slave trade, and the Empire. The Book of Saint Cyprian is revealed as a manifestation of vaster and pre-existent magical and folkloric traditions and is inserted into its proper cultural background, providing the reader with the keys to its unwritten content including the Book's connection to the vast mythical corpus of the Mouras Encantadas. THE BOOK OF ST. CYPRIAN: THE SORCERER'S TREASURE is an essential read for all those interested in folk magic, be it diabolical or saintly, fey traditions, the largely unknown West Iberian magical current and its various traces and manifestations in the modern Ibero-African-American cults of Brazil."

Mysticism is Evelyn Underhill's timeless manual, which offers thorough and rich guidance to the principles of mystical Christianity. A classic since its publication in 1911, Mysticism remains an authority on its subject. Despite more modern works providing a more updated or formal analysis of Christian mysticism, none do so with the passion and splendour with which Underhill tackles the subject. Having herself had spiritual experiences, the author mentions that such events inspire those who feel them to action rather than to continual idle reflection of the divine. This publication is derived from treasured 12th edition, renowned for its mindful revisions and additions Underhill appended. In reaction to earlier reviews, additional notes are appended to clarify some of the deeper passages and aid the comprehensive flow of the chapters.

Nadia Finley offers a lifestyle program that is practical and easy to understand. Based on her own life experiences, Finley developed the "Project Elinor" program for those dealing with personal hardship, and for any one of us who simply want to lead healthier, happier lives.

In this book, Finley guides readers through pathways to emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. By sharing her moving story about the loss of her mother, Finley provides unique perspectives to overcome any of life's obstacles, accompanied by a series of practical exercises to help you through the process. You will understand how to separate the mind from the body when coping with negative experiences and learn strategies for gaining control of the mind when things are at their worst. Essentially, you will learn how to "live" life - as opposed to being "victim"ized by it.

In order to refer to the manner of life's difficulties in a clear and simple way, Finley conceptualizes these hardships as "Illnesses', "demonstrating how these experiences can negatively affect your overall well-being. Therefore, in this book, the term "Illness'" is not necessarily linked to a physical sickness, but rather it is connected to your personal struggle with any of the following: the loss of a loved one; loss of a job; loss of self-esteem or self-identity; the breakdown of a marriage or relationship; or a drastic change in your financial status. You determine what your "Illness" is. To put it simply, our "Illnesses" are our most profound negative life experiences, the kinds of experiences that each of us must contend with at one point or another. This book offers the tools needed for optimizing every experience and opportunity that life will provide, despite the negative circumstances that any of us fear to face and overcome at the present time.

This is the only book of its kind on witchcraft that has been written by a practising witch. It is intended to be not merely a history, but a guide to the many strange byways of a vast and fascinating subject. Witchcraft is as old as the human race, and it is actively practised today, by people of all classes. To its devotees, witchcraft is more than spells and charms, or even secret meetings and rituals; it is a philosophy and a way of life. It claims to be the oldest form of religion, that of nature-worship and magic. Since the last Witchcraft Act was repealed in 1951, the revival of public interest in witchcraft has been the subject of continuous controversy. This book is a serious contribution to the study of a subject too long obscured by prejudice and sensationalism.

Stephen Skinner has been interested in magic for as long as he can remember. He wrote, with Francis King, the classic "Techniques of High Magic" in 1976. He followed that with "Oracle of Geomancy and Terrestrial Astrology" which has become the standard work on Western divinatory geomancy. Books on Nostradamus and Millennium Prophecies followed in highly illustrated editions. Stephen is also the author of eight books on feng shui, including the first one written in English in the 20th century. In the 1970s he was responsible for stimulating interest in John Dee and Enochian magic by publishing the first reprint of Casaubon's "True and Faithful Relation of What Passed for Many Yeers between Dr John Dee and some Spirits", and Dr Donald Laycock's key reference book on the angelic language "The Complete Enochian Dictionary". With David Rankine, he discovered what happened to Dee's most important manuscript, his personal book of angelic invocations which he kept in Latin, and how it was preserved and developed in the 17th century into a full working Enochian system. Only ten percent of this material reached the unpublished archives of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and even this was then suppressed by the chiefs of the Order, so it did not appear in Israel Regardie's monumental work on the Order rituals and documents. They have also traced the routes down which were passed the classic techniques of invocation and evocation from late mediaeval grimoires, through Dee's magic, via Ashmole, and the aristocratic angel magicians of the 17th century, and Frederick Hockley to the senior magicians of the Golden Dawn.

Ren Gunon (1886-1951) is undoubtedly one of the luminaries of the twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood fast against the shifting sands of recent philosophies. His oeuvre of 26 volumes is providential for the modern seeker: pointing ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy, Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, at the same time it directs the reader to the deepest level of religious praxis, emphasizing the need for affiliation with a revealed tradition even while acknowledging the final identity of all spiritual paths as they approach the summit of spiritual realization. The present volume, first published in 1958 by Gunon's friend and collaborator Paul Chacornac, whose bookstore, journal (first called Le Voile d'Isis, later changed to tudes Traditionnelles), and publishing venture-ditions Traditionnelles-were so instrumental in furthering Gunon's work, was the first full-length biography of this extraordinary man to appear, and has served as the foundation for the many later biographies that have appeared in French, as well as the lone biography in English, Ren Gunon and the Future of the West, by Robin Waterfield. Its translation and publication in conjunction with The Collected Works of Ren Gunon represents an important step in the effort to bring Gunon's oeuvre before a wider public.

What if there was a place in the universe, or in another universe, where no evil forces, dark beliefs, negative thought projections, energy blockages, or control issues were present? Is there a place such as an intact field of light, benevolence, and love? In "The Book of Origins, " author Ivonne Delaflor presents lessons she received that propose a new vision of a universe, in which harmony is seen not as something to fight for, but as a natural ebb and flow of events through the choices we make. Throughout a period of five years, Delaflor received more than five thousand messages during conversations with her transpersonal masters. In this text, she does not interpret the lessons but rather shares them in order to help people form better relationships with their inner voices and make sense of their spiritual experiences. A clear and readable map for navigating the harmonic energy dimensions, "The Book of Origins" supports humanity within the inner ascension process as we evolve as species of consciousness in the here and now and beyond.
