The first book to deal with the history and source of complete
superstitions which exist, or have existed among British people
throughout the world. They are presented in encyclopaedic form, so
that any individual superstition, or collective superstitions
related to one particular subject, can be found under a specified
heading. Some 2300 superstitions are listed in a work of over
230,000 words. Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork.
The Mysteries of the Qabalah completes the second book in a trilogy
written by the famous French esoteric scholar, Eliphas Levi. In the
first part of this work, Levi links the Old and New Testaments by
comparing the qabalistic imagery and concepts inherent in both "The
Prophecy of Ezekiel" and "The Apocalypse of St. John". He explains
how the description of Solomon's temple, the great sanctuary of the
true God, represents the Qabalistic or traditional theology of the
Hebrews -- even the measurements are symbolic and refer to sacred
numbers. In the second part of the treatise, Levi demonstrates that
"The Apocalypse of St. John" is a symbolic resume of knowledge for
initiates and a key to the high Qabalah. The theology of the
Hebrews can be attached to Christianity through the prophecy of
Ezekiel. It served as a model for "The Apocalypse of St. John",
which -- behind the emblems of the Qabalah -- hides the most
profound secrets of Christian theology. Students of the Western
Mystery tradition will find this material of special interest when
exploring the symbolism of the Bible and Qabalah.
Here is a guide to the magical spirituality of the hedge witch,
which describes a path that is profound and yet simple -
uncluttered by complex ritual, a matter of the heart. The hedge
witch is a solitary witch and natural mystic who practises wildwood
mysticism, so called because it is the knowledge at the root of the
tree of witchcraft. Explained in detail are the witch's prayers,
spell-casting and communication with spirits and faeries, including
those spirits travelling in the three realms of the magical
otherworld. The values and ethics of this most ancient tradition
may surprise and delight with their blend of common sense,
compassion and wildness. (It is not a spiritual way for
conformists!) This book opens the door to all those who feel they
are natural witches but are, as yet, uninstructed. The Hedge
Witch's Way is a guide for witches of either gender - potential
wisewomen or wisemen - that presents the faerie-led practices of
our ancestors, in a modern-day context.
Conclusion On January 2, 2009, I saw my oncologist for my annual
scans. While I am confident in my wellness and feel better than I
have ever felt, I cannot help but be a bit nervous each time the
tests are run. I am alive and well with great news All are clear
and I remain "no evidence of disease" I know dedication to
self-care and my new IsAgenix regimen are working to create balance
in my body allowing for optimum healing My doctors cannot give me
definite answers as to why my treatments have been successful when
others have failed, or even why I'm still alive and thriving now,
NINE years after my stage IV, metastatic breast cancer diagnosis.
However, they have said many times that I "am a very proactive
patient." Of course, being proactive does not guarantee success and
long-term survival - unfortunately, there are no guarantees.
However, I feel that truly believing that I was not going to die,
most certainly was an important factor. In addition to that, my
faith, the support of my family and friends, the combination of
everything discussed in this book, and yes, a little luck, have all
contributed to my long-term survival. Prior to being diagnosed with
cancer, I would not necessarily have considered myself an
extraordinarily lucky person. Now, however, the quality of life I
live every day is much richer, the special moments more memorable,
and the love I have to offer both to myself as well as to others,
is deeper and more fulfilling. This is precisely why I tell
everyone I meet that I feel "blessed" to have actually had cancer,
and I continue to be deeply grateful to now be healthy and happy.

Llewellyn is pleased to bring back into print Planetary Magick,
one of the most respected and sought-after magick books ever
written on the topic of planetary spellwork, and now the fourth
book in Denning and Phillips's renowned Magical Philosophy
series.
Planetary magick lies at the root of all astrological,
alchemical, and Qabalistic lore. Although the planetary powers of
the cosmos are far beyond our intervention, their correspondences
in the depths of the psyche are within our reach through certain
special meditative and ritual methods.
The complete system of planetary magick is set forth here, and
is designed for both the beginner and the established mage. This
book includes 65 classic magical rites in full detail and provides
the reader with a thorough understanding of the foundation of
Western Magick. Osborne Phillips and the late Melita Denning were
internationally recognized authorities on the Western Mysteries and
two of the foremost exponents of the Ogdoadic Tradition, the
premier hermetic school whose influence and works are historically
traceable for the past one thousand years. The authors received
their esoteric training in the magical order Aurum Solis, which was
founded in 1897 and is still active today.
For love, for money, for career, for home: this comprehensive
compendium contains a creative array of 1001 spells - 800 of them
never published before. They cover every conceivable desire, both
big (health and healing) and more specific (like selling a house).
There are 20 different sections, covering subjects ranging from
fertility and travel to protection and justice, each containing 50
spells each and culminating in an ultimate 'spell to end all
spells'. Along with the spells, there's information on the colours,
fragrances, crystals, angels, times of day and phases of the moon
that strengthen each type of magic.
It's been my experience in owning a dog that his goal is to please
you. My dog sits beside me when I'm watching television, and he
eats raisins with me, one at a time. He doesn't even like them;
he's eating them because I am. It reminds me of how important it is
for one person not to die from cancer, and at the same time, the
same importance is given for one fetus or baby not to die from
abortion. Even if only one raisin is dropped, he smells and hunts
for that one raisin like he can't live without it. There are more
raisins, but he doesn't want even one to get away. That is how
important we as individuals are to God. I believe the umbrella of
life has been lifted, and we are no longer under the protection of
our Creator. We can no longer boast and nothing is certain. We
continue to ignore the wake-up call and continue to put convenience
and monetary value first. We have a heart problem in this country;
our government has failed us in heeding the warning of God's answer
to "abortion on demand," which is, I believe, cancer and possibly
all types of debilitating and fatal illnesses. If you think that is
absurd because the link is not direct, and no one in your family
has had an abortion, think again. We are all in this together, and
God is not a respecter of persons. Examine the facts: In the early
'70s before abortion was legalized, cancer was almost heard of, and
today, with an unborn baby's life being taken every thirty seconds,
cancer and other illnesses are rampant. Consider, also, that most
babies in the '80s were pushed in umbrella strollers. Now, umbrella
strollers are, for the most part, nonexistent or unheard of. There
is a connection between taking life with "abortion ondemand" and
giving life with birth. I'm sure there are thousands of babies that
have been born that have saved the lives of their mothers. Maybe
that will help you understand that children are a blessing,
regardless of the circumstances you may have to experience with
them. Your baby or your daughter's baby just might be the one who
saves your life, your daughter's life, or some other loved one's
life. Maybe you, too, will look at pregnancy differently. One
person lost to cancer too many.

Bible prophecy gives us signs of the end times. Just like road
signs, they come closer together as we near the end. According to
the Bible, in the last days--in a time when Israel has been
restored as a nation--a 10-nation confederacy will appear on the
European continent. It will be a revival of the Roman Empire. From
this confederacy, one man will rise to power. He will make a
seven-year agreement with Israel that he will break in three and a
half years. This man is known as the Antichrist and, in some way,
he will be identified with the number 666.
Are You Sitting Down?
What if I said that an important warning sign about the rise of
the Antichrist began occurring in 1992, but it has been completely
overlooked? And what if I told you that the 10 kings of Daniel and
Revelation may have already been on scene since 1995, but no one
has noticed? Not only that, but a powerful new office has been
created that could soon belong to the Antichrist. And, it happened
with Assembly Recommendation 666. Hang on, because that's exactly
what I'm going to tell you.
This is the first extensive scholarly study of drone metal music
and its religious associations, drawing on five years of
ethnographic participant observation from more than 300
performances and 74 interviews, plus surveys, analyses of sound
recordings, artwork, and extensive online discourse about music.
Owen Coggins shows that while many drone metal listeners identify
as non-religious, their ways of engaging with and talking about
drone metal are richly informed by mysticism, ritual and religion.
He explores why language relating to mysticism and spiritual
experience is so prevalent in drone metal culture and in discussion
of musical experiences and practices of the genre. The author
develops the work of Michel de Certeau to provide an empirically
grounded theory of mysticism in popular culture. He argues that the
marginality of the genre culture, together with the extremely
abstract sound produces a focus on the listeners' engagement with
sound, and that this in turn creates a space for the open-ended
exploration of religiosity in extreme states of bodily
consciousness.
In these challenging times, the world seems an unpredictable and
scary place. However, the answer to all of life's questions, both
big and small, lie within us - your higher self can give you some
cosmic insight. Instant Magic Oracle is a fun, magical guide by
expert witch Semra Haksever, that will help you to navigate
whatever life throws at you. The way to use the book is simple:
take a few deep breaths, run your fingers along the edge of the
book while thinking of a question you would like the answer to.
When the time feels right, open the book and read the spiritual
guidance. You might be encouraged to call a friend, set some
intentions in time for the new moon, or the page could contain a
spell to cast. Many people love the idea of injecting some magic
into their lives but may not have the time. Semra combines her
knowledge of witchcraft and spells to make this a one-of-a-kind
magical book that can help you to navigate your life, instantly.
Whether you want some magic every day, or to dip in just now and
again for some clarity, this is the book for you.
