Because the classic writings on the Qabala have been expressed primarily in the terminology of the Western Mystery Tradition or in terms of the ceremonial magician, its usefulness as a tool for the Craft has been overlooked. With this book, Ellen Cannon Reed a High Priestess of the Isian tradition brings the symbolism of the Qabala into a new light so pagans can see its value and use it to enhance the Great Work.Reed explains the Tree of Life the primary symbol used to represent the universal energies as revealed by the Qabala and how its spheres and paths correspond to elements in the pagan tradition. Teachers can use the Qabala to understand the growth of students and their problems, using the Vices and Virtues to recognize stages of growth. Reed also provides exercises, meditations, and encouragement to students who are studying without a teacher. She discusses the Qabala as it appears in everyday life, which spheres of the Tree of Life to use for specific workings, and details two rituals using the Tree: a Dedication to the Journey, and the Rite of mending Love. Reed's command of the material allows teachers and students alike to gain powerful insight into their own search for spirituality. First published in 1983 as Witches Qabala Book 1: The Goddess and the Tree, this revised and updated edition is enhanced with Reed's thirteen additional years of experience.

Long before there was Linda Goodman, long before astrology bestsellers turned up in supermarkets, there was Aleister Crowley, the most important astrological scholar and authority of the early 20th century. Ghostwriting for Evangeline Adams, it was Crowley who wrote the vast majority of her classic textbooks, Astrology: Your Place in the Sun (1927) and Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars (1930). General Principles of Astrology finally acknowledges Crowley''s authorship.Crowley''s goal was to abandon traditional assumptions, so he based his findings on actual charts and how they were expressed in people''s lives. In his characteristically clear and elegant prose, Crowley discusses each planet from a scientific and mythological point of view. He provides an exhaustive analysis of astrological types, drawing conclusions for over 180 astrological nativities of well-known artists, poets, musicians, philosophers, politicians, and business leaders from the 18th to the 20th century.This new book is composed of painstakingly gathered work, primarily ghostwritten by Crowley, and published in various early twentieth-century texts. It is published here in one volume for the first time, in an undertaking endorsed by both the Adams and Crowley estates.

Ever wonder what that raised eyebrow, nervous twitch, or lazy slouch really means? Is it profound and important...or a meaningless quirk?

Based on the transcriptions of Dr. John Dee, the famous Elizabethan scientist and magus, The Enochian Evocation of Dr. John Dee is the translation of the original material received from direct Angelic contact. In 1852 Dee and his partner Edward Kelly, while gazing into a crystal stone, began to see and hear angels. These beings desired to re-establish the true art of magic, which had been lost due to man''s wickedness and ignorance. The true magical art, these beings claimed, would bestow superhuman powers upon its practitioners, change the political structure of Europe, and herald the coming of the Apocalypse. Dee believed this research would greatly benefit mankind and documented all of the channeled information into a series of manuscripts and workbooks. Author Geoffrey James presents here the direct translation of the core of the channeled material itself, framed in a historical context, with authority and integrity.From the introduction:Dee discovered that he was unable to perceive spirits on his own, and so was forced to employ skryers or crystal gazers. The most prolific of Dee''s skryers was Edward Kelly, a man of mediocre education whose main interest was alchemy. Kelly originally asked to work with Dee because Kelly believed that with divine aide they might discover the philosopher''s stone that would transmute lead into gold. Dee was hesitant at first, but when they performed a simple ceremony, it was far more successful than anything Dee had ever experienced. . . Kelly''s skrying was destined to produce what is perhaps the most unusual magical literature of the Renaissance.

It is the darkness, not the light, that brings us together. Cherizar Walker had always felt drawn to shamanism. After the murder of her brother and the dissolution of her marriage, a message from the universe arrived in the form of an invitation to study with five renowned shamans in the mountains of Ecuador. Knowing that she was meant to walk this path, she accepted the call. The Conception of Utopia is the story of her journey to healing and transformation. Written within its pages are the never-before-recorded teachings of a colorful cast of shamans and healers. With the wisdom and guidance of these teachers, Walker not only learns to open and rewild her heart, but also becomes a capable shamanic practitioner in her own right. This is the story not just of one woman's healing journey, but also of the new wave of shamanism that has the power to heal the world. Set against the striking landscapes of Ecuador and Mexico City, The Conception of Utopia is vulnerable, honest, and full of heart.

A fantastical deep-​sea world awaits us in this set of two complimentary oracular decks, to be used in combination or alone. These beautiful decks invite us into a world inhabited by iridescent characters who lend their magic, myth (and tentacles!) to every oracle reading. The result is as seductive and eternal as the legendary sirens' song. Here deep, arcane currents flow and animate the skeletons of those who came before and the guardians of those who are still to come--the keepers of our Unfolding Story. Hidden within these dark waters are secrets and sunken truths, some weighty, others as light as sea spray. This, dear diviner, must seem a strange and uncharted realm; but it teems with new life and unsung potential. Are you ready to take this voyage of discovery? This divination kit contains two oracles: a Kipper and a Lenormand. When used together they provide the highest, fullest degree of possible interpretation. Unlike tarot and oracle decks, which are read intuitively, Lenormand cards are read metaphorically, and Kipper cards are read quite literally. Lenormand deals with the outer world, and Kipper deals with the interpersonal. The most common way to read Lenormand and Kipper is to treat the card meanings as words and read them in order. There can be a certain amount of intuition in how you approach the card meanings, but they have set meanings. The Kipper deck is not a card deck that has the capacity to address larger societal issues. It's more on a personal level, aimed at the everyday realities of people's lives, and it reflects both the highest and the lowest possibilities those lives can contain. It depicts people, societal roles, and personal states of being. As for the card decks themselves, there four additional cards in the Lenormand deck - an extra child, man, woman and dog. For the extra "dog" card, the image is a cat. For the Kipper deck, there two extra marriage cards for all types of unions. The companion book contains instructions to "create your deck of choice" by removing unwanted options, mixing and matching.

"I love the fresh, bold style of The Rosebud Tarot, the renaming of many of the Majors (High Priestess is the Witch, Empress is Lifegiver, Hierophant is the Professor, etc.), and how the court cards have been transformed into four tiers of energies (Curiosity, Velocity, Generosity, Sovereignty). The Rosebud Tarot is sure to appeal to the up-and-coming generation of tarot readers." --Benebell Wen, author of The Holistic Tarot The Rosebud Tarot is a 78-card tarot deck based on the structure found in the classic Rider-Waite-Smith. Its exquisite images offer a dreamscape of pathways into the tarot and makes way for an inclusive experience that is more resonant for today's tarot readers. > THE FOOL becomes THE YOUTH THE HIGH PRIESTESS becomes THE WITCH THE EMPRESS becomes THE LIFEGIVER THE HIEROPHANT becomes THE PROFESSOR TEMPERANCE becomes ALCHEMY > When it comes to court cards, the names have been changed to highlight a core quality that each embodies: PAGES become CURIOSITY KNIGHTS become VELOCITY QUEENS become GENEROSITY > And, additionally, the decks creators have chosen to highlight the elements for each minor arcana suit, rather than using the traditional titles. PENTACLES become EARTH CUPS become WATER WANDS become FIRE > The deck comes with a guidebook, written by Diana Rose Harper, written in mythopoetic style that provides meaning, not just with keywords to memorize but as guidance for creating your own meaningful and accurate interpretations. Also provided is a brief history of the tarot and other information and resources to support you with your tarot studies.

"A practical guide to the lost art of lot-casting, an ancient Hebrew system used for divination, healing, blessing, cursing, magic, meditation, and spiritual interaction.Lots are an ancient Hebrew form of divination and magic. A set of lots contains twenty-two small discs with each one bearing one of the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In a manner similar to runes, these lots are then cast and interpreted.
