"What's a witch to do when the coven of moral and ethical standards demands she untwist a curse--but an essential spell component no longer exists? There's only one choice: go back in time. Caught between self-exile and an Alcatraz cell, Rachel must find an Atlantean mirror to reverse the curse and prove to Cincinnati's brand-new witch coven that, no, she does not practice illicit magic. Unfortunately, the only mirror of its kind in existence belonged to the insane demon Newt, forcing Rachel to go to the past to bargain with her for it. But the time-travel spell goes awry, dragging Elyse, the young leader of the coven, into the past with Rachel. They expect to land five years in the past but instead arrive two days before Rachel's long-lost love Kisten dies"--

What you are about to read between the covers of this book is the fifth volume of the collected works of Paolo Cavalli.We first encountered Paolo through his published works and then through several online forums (including some of the non-public ones). In all of these he graciously shared with us his wisdom and experience. Over the years we have exchanged literally hundreds of emails with him in which we have discussed creative and artistic topics in addition to personal and private matters.We have come to know him as a man whose literary skills and empathy are only surpassed by his helpfulness and generosity. We have learned so much from his creative genius, and gained so much inspiration from our conversations, that claiming he influenced our work would be a huge understatement.You will therefore understand how delighted we were when Paolo kindly agreed to allow us to republish his works in printed format. We have always held the view that Paolo's works were not as widely known or appreciated as they might be or, indeed, to the extent that they deserved. Many of the ideas and concepts that you'll find within these pages are not only genuine and original but also reveal the mind-set of a deep and unconventional thinker.The first volumes of The Cavalli Files comprise Paolo's previous published works. The final volumes, under the title Notes from the Lord's Diary, will offer you something really special: Drafts, outlines and expose¿s from Paolo's original sketch books! Parts of these are his 'works in progress', ideas and concepts that have never before seen the light of day.When Paolo sent us his material we set about revising the text and adjusting the layout. Then we thought long and hard about whether or not we should get it proofread and copy edited. Finally, we decide against it. If you didn't already know you could probably guess from his surname alone that English is not Paolo's native language. And even though his skills in the English language are extraordinary you may still spot some Italian syntax and sentence construction.And as you hear the Italian accent coming through the text you may find yourself transported to the sweeping vistas of the land of fine arts - Italia. This voice will, we hope, help you to connect with Paolo as if he was speaking to you personally in your own room.So here we go! We proudly present the fifth volume of The Cavalli Files: Notes from the Lord's Diary 1!

Occult advice for those on the Magical Path The magical path is full of pitfalls, blind alleys, and many monsters that will get in your way. Occult, philosophical teachers and books provided short aphorisms for students to help them guide their way and prevent them from being eaten by too many metaphorical dragons. These books have fallen by the wayside, along with the collective knowledge of those teachers.In Things my Hierophant should have told me, the occult writer and magician Nick Farrell brings together a collection of short essays providing advice for those moments when a demon has disembowelled your cat or your washing machine appears possessed by an Eldritch abomination. Packed full of cartoons and illustrations, Farrell is sometimes silly and light-hearted about questions that he has been taking seriously for 30 years.This book was first written a decade ago for a select group and has been extensively expanded and improved for a wider audience by Farrell's more recent experiences and experiments. It also includes answers to questions that he regularly fields on social media. Things my Hierophant should have told me, is a book for those on the path to pick up and read a paragraph or two whenever there is a spare moment between the terror which is their existence to reassure them that it is probably going okay.

Il sacrificio umano è stato praticato da diverse culture antiche lungo il corso della storia per propiziarsi i favori degli dei. L'atto consisteva nell'uccidere uno o più esseri umani, solitamente come offerta a una divinità, come parte di un rito religioso.Le vittime erano tipicamente uccise seguendo un predeterminato rituale, che avrebbe dovuto accontentare o placare gli dei, esseri spirituali o le anime dei defunti, ad esempio come offerta propiziatoria, oppure come sacrificio dei servitori di un re i quali venivano uccisi in modo da continuare a servire il loro padrone anche nella vita ultraterrena.

This 'Guide to Grimoiring' ends the Night School series by renowned occult author Jake Stratton-Kent. The first volume, The Sworn and Secret Grimoire, used the Grimoire of Turiel as a starting point for engaging with the ritual process when working with grimoiric spirits and can be thought of as an 'occult primer'. In this second volume, Cyprian's Offices of Spirits, Jake moves us into the realm of Cyprianic spirit-work, the mysteries of the Lunar Mansions, and an investigation of the Kings and Queens of the Elementals. Moving between history and practice, Cyprian's Offices of Spirits, as its predecessor did with Turiel, takes it inspiration from Nathaniel Moulth's Petit Manuel du Devin et du Sorcier, through which it highlights the folkloric elements of grimoiric practice and the benefits of ritual timing. Dr. Alexander Cummins' foreword beautifully outlines the contents of Cyprian's Offices of Spirits as well as Jake Stratton-Kent's contributions to our understanding of grimoire practice, closing with a beautiful tribute to Jake himself.
