Vampires and Vampirism (1914) is a work from another era, a time
when belief and wonder led some to travel down pathways of
knowledge in search of truth and terror, not knowing what they
would find. Written in response to an "awakened [popular] interest
in supernormal phenomena" in the early twentieth century, Dudley
Wright's Vampires and Vampirism traces the history of vampirism
around the world, from ancient Babylonia, Assyria, and Greece, to
Great Britain, Germany, and Eastern Europe. Beginning with the
question "What is a vampire?", Wright seeks to first define the
term before moving into an analysis of how belief in vampirism
emerged from various and distant religious and cultural traditions.
Each chapter uses a scholarly mix of ancient and modern sources to
enlighten the reader, and the book culminates in a chapter titled
"Fact or Fiction?", which allows the reader to hear from believers
and skeptics alike. The book includes harrowing personal accounts
of outbreaks of vampirism in British India and Mexico, as well as a
lengthy bibliography. In a world where matters of occult nature,
such as astrology, have reentered the popular consciousness,
Vampires and Vampirism is sure to be of interest. It is also a
fascinating document of a time when Europeans-faced with spiritual
doubt and inspired by religious traditions and myths from the outer
reaches of empire-sought to establish new systems of belief, new
orders they hoped could replace those they feared were quickly
becoming lost. At times despicable, and always controversial,
Dudley Wright was a tireless searcher whose life included
conversions to Islam and Catholicism, forays into
anti-Semitism-later retracted-and a deep, spiritual involvement
with organizations dedicated to matters both visible and invisible,
true and beyond belief. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this new edition of Dudley
Wright's Vampires and Vampirism is a classic of history and horror
reimagined for modern readers.

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.

Do you ever find that the earth stills and you suddenly feel
acutely alive? Have you ever looked into an animal's eyes and felt
the pull of a more primal world? Do you sometimes feel panic rise,
or isolation sink upon you, or simply feel out of kilter with the
modern world? 'Inside my cauldron is a thick fistful of paper, old
diary entries, work "to do" lists, notes I wrote while I was in a
bad place and feeling trapped in a life that was keeping my mind
small and narrow; thoughts and feelings that are holding me back,
keeping me tied to a time I want to let go of. These papers are
flashes of lightning across a darkened room and I want them gone.
As they curl and burn, twisting in their black spirals like the
farewell flourish of a travelling cloak, a sense of calm sweeps
through my chest and shoulders. I feel it so strongly, like a blast
of ice to my system, shivering out the old thoughts. I'm burning a
path for something new to come in.' One winter, Jennifer Lane
reached breaking point in her fast-paced office life. In the year
that followed her stress-related illness, she set out to rediscover
the solace and purpose that witchcraft had given her as a teenager.
The Wheel is an immersive, engaging read - exploring the life-long
draw of witchcraft and our vulnerability to toxic working
environments and digital demands. In her year-long journey Jennifer
explores ancient festivals and rituals, and visits fellow pagans
and wild landscapes, in search of wisdom and peace. For those who
are sick at heart of noise, anger and disconnection, The Wheel is
full of wise words, crackling rituals and natural beauty. This is a
quest to discover how to live fully connected to the natural world
while firmly in the twenty-first century.
