In the early Middle Ages, magic was considered a practical science, requiring study and skill. But as European society became more articulate and self-conscious, the old tradition of magic as a science became associated with heresy and sorcery. Thereafter the Middle Ages knew no safe, learned magic that was not subject to accusation of diabolism in one form or another, and the magician, like the later witch, could be punished for both spiritual and temporal offenses. Through Peters's analysis of the legal, ecclesiastical, and literary responses to this problem, magic and witchcraft are located more accurately in the cultural context of the time, providing important insight into medieval history.

We can rebuild our sense of ourselves by magic that holds us true to our real life purpose, throughout any crisis. What is presented here is not superficial and not a shortcut. Rather, it is a powerful process, a method which can be adapted to any situation where help may be needed.

'a brilliant history' The Sunday Times 'makes for riveting reading' The Independent Modern pagan witchcraft is arguably the only fully-formed religion England has given the world, and has now spread across four continents. This second edition of The Triumph of the Moon extensively revises the first full-scale scholarly study of modern pagan witchcraft. Ronald Hutton examines the nature and development of this religion, and offers a history of attitudes to witchcraft, paganism and magic in British society since 1800. Its pages reveal village cunning folk, Victorian ritual magicians, classicists and archaeologists, leaders of woodcraft and scouting movements, Freemasons, and members of rural secret societies. We also find some of the leading figures of English literature, from the Romantic poets to W. B. Yeats, D. H. Lawrence and Robert Graves, as well as the main personalities who have represented pagan witchcraft to the public world since 1950. Thriller writers like Dennis Wheatley, and films and television programmes, get similar coverage, as does tabloid journalism. The material is by its nature often sensational, and care is taken throughout to distinguish fact from fantasy, in a manner not previously applied to most of the stories involved. Meticulously researched, The Triumph of the Moon presents an authoritative insight into an aspect of modern cultural history which has attracted sensational publicity but has hitherto been little understood. This edition incorporates new research carried out by the author as well as research by others who have been inspired by this book over the twenty years since its first publication.

This little book will act as your all-encompassing guide to understanding the magic and mystique of sacred stones, and how they can enhance all aspects of your life. By practising the unique, crystal-focused spells, blessings and rituals contained within these pages, you can harness the innate power of crystals to take your spiritual practice to the next level.

Written by King James I and published in 1597, the original edition of Demonology is widely regarded as one of the most interesting and controversial religious writings in history, yet because it is written in the language of its day, it has been notoriously difficult to understand. Now occult scholar Donald Tyson has modernized and annotated the original text, making this historically important work accessible to contemporary readers. Also deciphered here, for the first time, is the anonymous tract News from Scotland, an account of the North Berwick witch trials over which King James presided. Tyson examines King James' obsession with witches and their alleged attempts on his life, and offers a knowledgeable and sympathetic look at the details of magick and witchcraft in the Jacobean period. Demonology features historical woodcut illustrations and includes the original old English texts in their entirety. This reference work is the key to an essential source text on seventeenth-century witchcraft and the Scottish witch trials

ESOTERIC QABALAH
The Melding of Human with Divine
The ultimate goal for every human being is to realize and fulfill his/her Divinity.
No matter what religion or esoteric system, the primary message is the same - that every human person is created in the image of God, and that the "Son of God" is one who has completed the journey. The "Great Plan" is that each person is to evolve and become a "co-creator" to consciously and effectively participate in the evolutionary drama. "Each of us has the gift and obligation of responsible action.
"As with any journey, a map makes it easier: it provides an overview allowing the user to choose the best path from his starting point to the next rest stop, and then onward towards the ultimate goal of union with the Divine. "That's the "Great Work" we each must undertake.
"There are many books on and about Kabbalah but very few about the esoteric Qabalah that specifically guides the esoteric student to the Great Work, employing terms and psychological understanding applicable to the modern student not requiring adherence to any one religious or magical group. "You are alone in this work, but you have the support of all who have gone before.
"The responsibility and the opportunity for real spiritual development is personal. "It is your responsibility. "You have the gifts of Mind and Spirit, and this particular book was written to be an effective guide to your personal program. "It's your practical guide.
"Here you will find the nature of the universe, and the nature of your own being; you will find the foundations of magical art and the channels of inner power; here the power of symbols is made clear and made practical for your application; here Qabalah and Gnosis are brought together with detailed tables and examples, along with real-life stories illustrating the challenges and triumphs of the magical journey. "Now, you must write your own story.
