 Applied
Magic (revised edition) is a selection of Dion Fortune's writings on the
practical applications of magical and esoteric techniques. She explains that
everyone has the ability to access the invisible planes of existence (mind and
spirit) which cannot be perceived with the physical senses. This book provides
invaluable guidance to anyone intent on increasing their awareness. This revised
edition includes a glossary that defines terms used in the study of the Western
Mystery Tradition. This new edition includes an introduction by Gareth Knight. |
 When
Dion Fortune wrote Aspects of Occultism, 'occultism' was an umbrella word
used to describe hidden lore, secret traditions, and arcane knowledge. Today the
word 'occult' is often confused with the word 'cult' and all of its negative
aspects. Fortune's essays could more accurately be referred to as 'esoteric
studies'. In this book she discusses evocative magic, the sites of Druid
worship, parallels between Christianity and the Qabalah, the astral plane,
auras, spiritual healing, power cycles, and our relationship to our higher
selves. This revised edition includes a new introduction by Gareth Knight, an
additional essay by Fortune ('The Myth of the Round table'), and an index. |
 The
Training and Work of an Initiate (revised edition) shows how, from ancient
Egyptian, Greek, and Qabalistic roots, the Western Esoteric Systems have an
unbroken initiatory tradition that has been handed down from adept to neophyte.
You will discover how initiates prepare body, mind, and spirit for the
challenging journey that is the esoteric path. This book is filled with
accessible information and is presented in such a way so that 'even that which
the smallest cup can carry away is the true water of life'. This revised edition
contains a new foreword by Gareth Knight and an index. |
 People
have been fascinated by secret traditions since the beginning of time. Fraternal
brotherhoods and sisterhoods and secret orders of varying degrees exist in every
country, race, and religion. Dion Fortune in Esoteric Orders and Their Work
gets to the root of exactly what esoteric orders are, leaving no stone unturned.
Today in the centers of the civilized world there is a renewed interest in
esoteric schools. Although they may be misunderstood by many, some of the
noblest people have been among their advocates. This book removes the shroud of
mystery and fear from esotericism and makes the Western Mystery Tradition
accessible to anyone who has ever been curious about this fascinating spiritual
path. This revised edition includes a new foreword by Gareth Knight and an
index. |

 Ancient
wisdom for modern-day life. How would Plato ask for a raise? Would Socrates
send a cranky kid for a time out? And why would Aristotle like Oprah?
By gaining an understanding of the great philosophers and their ideas, you can
apply their insights to your own life and better understand yourself and the
world around you. But wait! This is not your father's philosophy book! By
linking the teachings of great thinkers to today's celebrities and cultural
icons, this lighthearted and informative book makes philosophy accessible and
fun. For instance, you will learn how to avoid faux pas and make yourself seem
like an Einstein (literally!) by reciting the words of these superior minds. 'There
are no facts, only interpretations' - Your reply to the boss when he asks
for the report you don't have, courtesy of Nietzche. 'I am the self which I
will be, in the mode of not being it' - How you justify breaking a New
Year's resolution, courtesy of Sartre. 'Character is that which can do
without success' - What to say when your friend gets fired, courtesy of
Emerson. You will also learn how 'Bacon Brings it Home', how 'Kant
Not Only Can, He Did', and why 'Heidegger Digs Seinfeld'. Whether
you already know that Plato is not a pliable children's toy, or you think that
Voltaire is a new line of luxury car, you will find this book to be an
enlightening read and a source of advice whenever you need a direction.

 Shapeshifters
are people with animal medicine, people who can connect with and use their
animal powers. Those with access to this magical power can shift mentally,
astrally, or even physically into their power animal or totem. Rosalyn Greene's
ability to to shift, both mentallt and astrally, combined with her extensive
study of secret shapeshifting folklore has resulted in this fascinating
examination of all aspects and forms of shifting.
This unique book helps to realize your full potential through the process of
shapeshifting. Detailed explanations are given about how the various forms of
shapeshifting occur. Powerful visions, anxiety attacks, and imagination are
compared to authentic shapeshifting. According to Greene, there can be risks and
perils on both the physical and psychic levels when you pursue the path of a
shifter. Potential dangers associated with various shifting practices are
carefully outlined.
Shapeshifting is a spiritual journey; a demanding but rewarding one. It links
us with both the fundamental power of animals (nature) and with the higher self.
It has a purpose and a reality far beyond simply using shifter abilities for
earthly benefits. It can lead us through the unseen veil that separates our egos
from our true selves.

To an occultist, magic has a much different meaning than it has for most
other people. The books here are about magic in the occult sense. here is an
excerpt from the introduction to David Goddard's The Sacred Magic of the
Angels to clarify the occult meaning of Magic.
"The student of occultism knows that the power of
causation lies in the inner levels of being. What is brought about on the inner
levels will automatically, by universal dynamics, seek to manifest upon the
physical plane. So what appears to the uninitiated as "magic" is
really the science of applying little-known laws, whereby things are brought
into manifestation seemingly out of nowhere. Most people think that the physical
plane is reality, and if they think of inner levels at all, they image them as
rather insubstantial and vague. Whereas in truth, the inner levels are very real
and they give birth to the physical.
Anyone who has had direct experience of the inner
planes knows this. Whether through a near-death experience or by using a
consciousness-raising technique (meditation, astral projection, shamanic spirit
travel, ore deep pathworking), they have briefly seen the power, the beauty, and
the wonder of the inner levels of existence of which the physical world is but a
shadow.
This is not to decry the physical level, or to advocate
escape from it - for matter, like everything else, is divine in origin and
physicality is the garment of the Eternal. But many confuse the garment with
That which wears it."
 Hopefully,
the excerpt quoted above has piqued your interest in this very practical guide
to Angel Magic. He introduces the seven archangels of the Elohim, the seven
spirits before the throne of God and shows us how to call upon them and the
archetypes that emanate from them to assist us on our Path of Return to the One
Source, which is also known as the Great Work.
There is much information in this book that makes it useful to anyone on the
path, regardless of how long you have been treading it. We are extremely
fortunate that David Goddard has offered us this ancient Angelic tradition in
written form. At a time when western society needs to reconnect with the Sacred
for its own healing, this book provides a practical and very wise method of
doing just that.

 The
Sefer Yetzirah is perhaps the oldest and least understood of all
Kabbalistic texts. This translation was done by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, who brings
its theoretical, meditative, and magical implications to light. When properly
understood, the Sefer Yetzirah becomes an instruction manual for a very
special type of meditation meant to strengthen concentration and to aid the
development of psychic perception. These abilities were meant to help Kabbalists
to perform feats that outwardly appeared magical.
This translation includes the meditation in five dimensions, the transition
from Binah to Chakhmah consciousness, the point of infinity, kabbalistic
astrology, Ezekiel's vision according to the Sefer Yetzirah, and the
mystery of the 231 gates. Also included is a digest of major commentaries on the
text of the Sefer Yetzirah and a bibliography of many of the major
kabbalistic works that discuss it. This volume is the most complete work on the Sefer
Yetzirah in English.

When Saint Patrick first came to Ireland in the fifth century A.D., he
encountered the Celtic people and a flourishing spiritual tradition that had
already existed for thousands of years. The Celts had a refined and passionate
sense of the divine. The Celtic imagination articulates an inner friendship that
embraces nature, divinity, the underworld, and the human world as one. The Celts
never separated the visible from the invisible, time from eternity, or the human
from the divine. Surviving to this day, the Celtic reverence for the soul in all
things is a vibrant spiritual heritage unique in the Western world, one that is
capturing the imagination of thousands of people as they rediscover the wisdom
of the past and their own Celtic roots.
In Anam Cara, Gaelic for 'soul friend', John O'Donohue invites you
into the magical and unobtrusive world of your own divinity; to that place in
the soul where there is no distance between you and the eternal. The ancient
wisdom, poetry, and blessings of Celtic spirituality will awaken and grace the
beauty of your heart's landscape. Exploring such themes as the mystery of
friendship, the spirituality of the senses, the brightness within solitude, work
as the poetics of growth, aging as the art of inner harvesting, and death as
eternal homecoming, this book will encircle your heart with Celtic benediction.

Dreaming the Council Ways, Ohky Simine Forest integrates diverse
matriarchal native teachings - from Mohawk, Iroquois, and other Canadian Indian
traditions, as well as Mongolian and Mayan shamanic ways - to create a modern
healing synthesis of the spiritual practices common to these disparate cultures.
With profound insight and clarity, Ohky helps us rediscover the soil of the
sacred Earth, where all races live together, and emerge with a way of life that
respects the planet. She leads us on an inner journey into the red Lodge, which
has been long misunderstood by the Western world. She initiates us into the
underworld of power animal teachings. dreaming practices, native healing ways,
and the shaman's tree of life, so we can learn the difference between real
shamanism and the practices so often taught today. She explains the matriarchal
path, and speaks of men and women coming together again, to live in harmony as
they did in the past, with respect and care for each other. Dreaming the
Council Way is a deep call to hear the Earth awakening in each of us, as
foretold by ancient prophesies. These prophesies speak of the Medicine Wheel Way
as an important alternative way to recreate our world and to learn respect for
the Great Earth. |
