A year-long collection of spells and rituals for harnessing the
magical power of each day from the author of the Encyclopedia of
5000 Spells. We all could use a little magic in our daily lives.
But while the year is filled with mystical dates, we don't always
know when and how to celebrate them. By knowing and preparing for
these special days we can use their inherent power to change our
lives. Daily Magic is a perpetual calendar focused on days of
spiritual and magical significance. April 30th for example, is
perfect for spellcasting-especially spells for love, romance,
fertility, and prosperity. Judika Illes teaches you how to create
rituals and cast spells, provides recipes for potions, and offers
advice on creating feasts to honor sacred beings. While the most
spiritually significant power dates of the year are Midsummer's
Eve, Halloween/Samhain, and New Year's, opportunities to use
rituals and spells for the most popular goals-love, prosperity,
fertility, healing, and protection-occur every week. Illes offers
guidance on when to perform a spell-whether it's best to conjure
now or to wait for a special power date later in the year. Daily
Magic is a spiritual daily calendar that give us the power and the
tools we need to take control of our destiny!

While travelling in Mexico, Abelar became involved with a group of

A practical guide to the ancient magical tradition of Russian
sorcery and Eastern Slavic magical rites Passed down through
generations, the Slavic practice of magic, witchcraft, and sorcery
is still alive and well in Russia, the Ukraine, and Belarus, as
well as the Balkans and the Baltic states. There are still witches
who whisper upon tied knots to curse or heal, sorceresses who
shapeshift into animals or household objects, magicians who cast
spells for love or good fortune, and common folk who seek their aid
for daily problems big and small. Sharing the extensive knowledge
she inherited from her mother and grandmother, including spells of
the "Old Believers" previously unknown to outsiders, Natasha Helvin
explores in detail the folk history and practice of Russian sorcery
and Eastern Slavic magical rites, offering a rich compendium of
over 100 spells, incantations, charms, and practical rituals for
love, relationships, career success, protection, healing,
divination, averting the evil eye, communicating with spirits and
ancestors, and a host of other life challenges and daily
situations, with complete step-by-step instructions to ensure your
magical goals are realized. She explains how this tradition has
only a thin Christian veneer over its pagan origins and how the
Slavic pagan gods and goddesses acquired new lives as the saints of
the Eastern Orthodox Church. She details how the magical energy for
these spells and rituals is drawn from the forces of nature,
revealing specific places of power in the natural world as well as
the profound power of graveyards and churches for casting spells.
She explores the creation of amulets and talismans, the importance
of icons, and the proper recital of magical language and actions
during spells, as well as how one becomes a witch or sorceress.
Offering a close examination of these two-thousand-year-old occult
practices, Helvin also includes Slavic folk advice, adapted for the
modern era. Revealing what it means to be a Slavic witch or
sorceress, and how this vocation pervades all aspects of life, she
shows that each of us has magic within that we can use to take
control of our own destiny.

achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth.

religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. "Wicca "also includes
Scott Cunningham's own Book of Shadows and updated appendices of
periodicals and occult suppliers.
"The New Hermetic is a powerful spiritual technology of the mind.
It is a course of study and practice that teaches the science of
illumination and the ability to alter reality. The ancient Egyptian
form of Hermetic philosophy was that the mind shapes reality. "The
New Hermetics extends that philosophy--the universe is a great mind
or consciousness, and we are a part of that consciousness;
therefore by learning to control the mind, we learn to control the
universe. With updated versions of the ancient Rosicrucian
brotherhood's 10 levels of initiation, combined with ancient and
modern mind-expanding techniques such as visualization and NLP
(neuro-linguistic programming). "The New Hermetics progressively
gives initiates power over their minds and world. Practicing these
elements simultaneously make it possible to undergo initiation into
the mysteries of consciousness in a fraction of the time than was
ever before possible. The course offered in the book lets
practitioners master their minds in such a way that they will be
able to achieve anything and everything they want in life,
spiritually and physically. "The New Hermetics is a powerful course
of instruction that can help anyone master themselves to rule their
world.
