Flowing from its early, pre-Christian beginnings through its modern
worldview, this book explores the deities, history, rituals, magic,
and religion of Asatru from the unique perspective of a Gythja
(Godwoman) within that path. The Heathen tradition revealed here
describes the structure of Asatru and shows how its ancient themes,
ideas, and practices are relevant to modern spiritual seekers.
Clear and easy to understand yet thorough and comprehensive, A
Practical Heathen's Guide to Asatru will add depth to the Asatru
experience for those who have practised this faith for years, while
remaining accessible to beginners. It reveals Heathen perspectives
on the nature of time, creation, spirits, worship, ethics, and
hospitality. It shares practical techniques such as meditation,
prayer, runes, charms, and life rituals covering birth/naming,
entry into adulthood, weddings, divorces, funerals, and more. An
in-depth glossary, index, and bibliography help make this the
must-read book for everyone interested in Asatru.

Afterword
Published in English for the first time, this groundbreaking book
by Radomir Ristic is a compilation of historical data,
anthropological studies, and the authors own experiences and
interviews with the Witches of the Balkans. Covering both theory
and practice, the book gives a complete system of Balkan
Traditional Witchcraft.
Balkan Traditional Witchcraft is an ancient system from humanity's
dawn that has survived into modern times due to the unique history
of the region, and its practice can be applied to any culture,
state or region in the world.
Translated into English by Michael C. Carter, Jr., this book - a
bestseller in its native Serbia - is an incredible look into the
world of the Balkan Witch, covering ritual trance, tools, rites for
healing, love, divination, defense and for making charms. It also
explores the supernatural beings that Balkan Witches share their
world with, deities, fairies and other spirits. There has never
been such a deep exploration of the magic of this region available
in English before.

This is the 20th Anniversary edition of the book which contains new
material by Lon Milo DuQuette! The book gives the student immediate
access to the world's most powerful yet misunderstood system of
Magick. Crowley's work on the Enochian system was originally
published in The Equinox, his 10-voulme journal of Scientific
Illuminism. It was the launching pad for all that followed.
Originally published in 1912, it rent the veil of the Inner Order
of the Golden Dawn and revealed its most precious jewel for all to
see. Lon Milo DuQuette is a recognised expert on Enochian Magick
who brings four decades of practical experience in the field to
show you how to start using this powerful system right now. It is
the aim of this book to offer in a practical format, Liber LXXXIV
vel Chanokh, Crowley's original presentation of basic Enochiana,
and make it immediately useful for the student who wishes to make
use of it now. This coupled with Israel Regardie's fine Enochian
Dictionary and pronunciation guide provides the reader with the
minimum material necessary to get started. For the advanced student
it offers practical instructions and the opportunity to re-evaluate
the original information that the greatest magician of the 20th
Century felt was most necessary to master first. This second
revised edition of the book was edited by David Cherubim.
