Prophecies
How we search for meaning in our futures, as revealed by the divine, occult or supernatural, from ancient prophets to the end of days.
What will happen to us next? From the earliest beginnings of human civilization, people have searched for signs, patterns and clues to address the last unanswerable question. Looking into the future has obsessed human beings since written records began. As soon as communities could conceive of higher powers, they tried to look into the future. Prophets and priests have delivered divine messages. Shamans and seers have channelled spirits and interpreted visions, portents, revelations and omens.
This unique and richly illustrated volume reveals the long history of the future in every human society - from Egyptian oracles, Roman augurs and Aztec omens, to Japanese divination and the active magic of Norse seers. It traces the parallels in different traditions and cultures, exploring the signs and images found in antique documents, rare books, imaginative projections and divinatory paraphernalia.
The nine chapters explore extraordinary oracles from ancient Greece and western Africa, to Mesopotamia and the mountains of Tibet; we discover omens, portents and auspicious signs in indigenous societies in Asia; meet the Zoroastrian priests of Iran and astrologers of China; share dreams and visions from Australia to North America; and finally reckon with the many predictions of the end of the world, from ancient days to our present moment.
Shamanism
What are the origins of shamanism and what is its future? Do shamans believe in their powers? What exactly is trance? And what can we learn from indigenous healing practices?
In this enlightening book, anthropologist Manvir Singh offers a new explanation for one of the most misunderstood religious traditions. Travelling from Indonesia to the Amazon, living with shamans and observing music, drug use and indigenous curing ceremonies, he journeys into the origins of shamanism. Fundamentally, shamans are specialists who use altered states to engage with unseen realities and provide services like healing and divination. As Singh shows, shamanism's ubiquity stems from its psychological resonance. Its core appeal is transformation: a specialist uses initiations, deprivation and non-ordinary states to seemingly become a different kind of human, one possessed with the superpowers necessary to tame life's uncertainty.
Following a fascinating cast of characters, Singh tells a larger story about the ancient and modern expressions of this timeless tradition. He argues that biomedicine can learn from shamanic practices, yet that psychedelic enthusiasts completely misrepresent history. He also shows that shamanic traditions will forever re-emerge - and that by journeying into humanity's oldest spiritual practice, we come to better understand ourselves, our history and our future.
Draiocht Ceoil
Within us all is the ability to hear the magic of sound, to use music and words to create a new reality. In Irish traditions this is known as Dra ocht Ceoil - 'music magic' - an ancient art deeply rooted in Ireland s mythology and culture, used for generations to harness the power of sound for connecting to natural magical energy. This is the first book of its kind to examine the tradition of Dra ocht Ceoil, its ancient roots in the poetic tradition of Old Ireland, and its evolution into a vital part of Irish folk magic practices. From its early times, Irish society has elevated the roles of poet and musician to facilitators of magic, which has evolved into a rich tradition of both domestic and political magic, surviving throughout Ireland into the modern era, adapting to the needs of its generations. No musical or literary expertise is needed, only a love of sound and creativity, for Dra ocht Ceoil to add depth to your magical practice. Its application to meditation and journeying will make it a perfect addition to your spiritual path.
Grimoires
What is a grimoire? The word has a familiar ring to many people, particularly as a consequence of such popular television dramas as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed. But few people are sure exactly what it means. Put simply, grimoires are books of spells that were first recorded in the Ancient Middle East and which have developed and spread across much of the Western Hemisphere and beyond over the ensuing millennia. At their most benign, they contain charms and remedies for natural and supernatural ailments and advice on contacting spirits to help find treasures and protect from evil. But at their most sinister they provide instructions on how to manipulate people for corrupt purposes and, worst of all, to call up and make a pact with the Devil. Both types have proven remarkably resilient and adaptable and retain much of their relevance and fascination to this day. But the grimoire represents much more than just magic. To understand the history of grimoires is to understand the spread of Christianity, the development of early science, the cultural influence of the print revolution, the growth of literacy, the impact of colonialism, and the expansion of western cultures across the oceans. As this book richly demonstrates, the history of grimoires illuminates many of the most important developments in European history over the last two thousand years.

Misztériumok könyve
"E könyvvel szokatlan, eddig nem ismert kulcsokat nyújtok át mindazoknak, akik önmaguk és a világ kozmosszal való összefüggéseit kutatják. Felismerték velem együtt, hogy az ősnépek tudománya, bölcselete mennyire találkozik a modern természettudomány kutatásainak eredményeivel. Óriási kérdések ezek, amelyek egyszerre sürgőssé váltak korunk felgyorsult válságai között. Bizonyos, hogy e meglepő válaszok nem merítik ki ennek a misztériumnak valamennyi tételét, de fényt vetítenek az irányra, amely hozzájuk vezet. Azt hiszem, egyetértünk abban, hogy az embert semmi sem érdekli jobban, mint saját sorsa, jelene és jövője e bonyolult világban. Megpróbálok nemcsak diagnózist adni különféle tévedések, kórságok természetéről, hanem a gyógyulás módját is felkínálom a lélek tisztességes orvosaként. A Misztériumok könyve az egyéni beavatások kozmikus módszere. Élmények színaranyát vonhatják ki belőle."

Surrealism and Operative Alchemy
Discover the links between European surrealism and the alchemical tradition• Draws on rare primary documents to reveal the connections between surrealism, 20th century alchemy, and 19th century occultism• Explores Éliphas Lévi, Jewish and Christian Kabbalah, and Hermeticism to show how surrealist symbology contained an initiatory dimension or “secret teaching”• Details collaborations between surrealists André Breton, Bernard Roger, and Salvador Dalí and alchemists René Alleau, Eugene Canseliet, and FulcanelliOver the last century the symbols and strangeness of the surrealists have become world-renowned, but what isn’t so well-known is the hidden relationship between surrealism and alchemy. The works of both traditions not only had a decisive influence on each other but created a unique path for alchemy to leave its underground workshops to shine in the light of popular culture. Patrick Lepetit draws on rare primary documents to reveal the connections between surrealism, 20th-century alchemy, and 19th-century occultism. He examines the hidden subtleties of surrealism to see the esoteric messages embedded in its vision of the self and cosmos. Exploring the writings of Éliphas Lévi, Jewish and Christian Kabbalah, and Hermeticism, Lepetit shows how surrealist symbology contained an initiatory dimension, a “secret teaching” that was integral to its expression and deeply inspiring to the surrealists. Early alchemists used codes and word games, such as the perfect and divine “language of the birds,” to discuss the work in ways that would baffle the uninitiated and evade the suspicions of the church. Readers will learn about the artists André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Irene Hillel-Erlanger, Bernard Roger, and Jorge Camacho and how they worked with alchemists Fulcanelli, René Alleau, and Eugene Canseliet. Surrealism and Operative Alchemy is a deeply researched study that situates the surrealists in their proper place as members of an age-old tradition of wisdom.
Runy v přírodní magii
Runy pro zelenou čarodějku. Magický průvodce prací s runami a rostlinnými spojenci pro manifestaci, léčení a kouzlení. Runy i rostliny jsou nositelkami syrové, živoucí energie Matky Země. Léčí, chrání, probouzejí magii a posilují záměr. Společně podporují a prohlubují spojení mezi přírodou a člověkem – spojení životně důležité pro mysl, tělo i ducha. Ačkoli každá z nich má sílu sama o sobě, když se spojí v magickém svazku, jejich kombinovaná síla se znásobí exponenciálně. V této magické knize se bylinkářka a čarodějka Nicolette Miele noří do moudrosti a folklóru čtyřiadvaceti run staršího futharku a zkoumá jejich propojení s božstvy, astrologií, tarotem, krystaly i rostlinami. Každá kapitola začíná výkladem etymologie, významu, mytologie, věšteckých souvislostí a magických aspektů konkrétní runy a vrcholí profily několika bylin a rostlin, které nesou podobné magické energie. Každý rostlinný profil představuje magické, metafyzické, tradiční i léčivé využití dané rostliny a nabízí způsoby, jak s těmito mocnými spojenci pracovat. Autorka rovněž ukazuje praktické příklady a tipy, jak runy a rostliny kombinovat v kouzlech a rituálech pro manifestaci, ochranu, léčení, očistu a další účely. Tato kniha provází zelenou čarodějku výhodami a silnými stránkami synergické magie a pomáhá eklektickým praktikům magie zdokonalit své umění prostřednictvím lidové magie a medicíny, rituálů, meditací, kouzel a hlubokého procesu návratu k přírodě a spojení s Matkou přírodou.
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn
Occultism has long been associated with the visual and literary arts, the wild and the avant-garde, and nowhere was this more embodied than in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Founded in London in the 1880s by Freemasons, it was the world's most famous secret society. In this fresh, bracing narrative history, Felix John Taylor recounts its rise and fall through the men and women for whom the Order represented both an alternative to traditional Victorian religious values and a space for imaginative exploration.
Devoted to the study of ceremonial magic, the Order attracted a long list of eminent writers, actors and visual artists to its ranks. It looked towards a 'golden age' of spiritual enlightenment, with progressive ideals - class and gender were no barriers to entry - and teachings from tarot to alchemy and astral projection that were gradually unveiled as members ascended ten 'grades'.
While its temples were formally spaces to practice magic, Taylor finds that the Golden Dawn was at various points more an arts club or society of writers. Political schisms and sex scandals ensured that it was short-lived, yet for many members its occult practices came to shape their work and influence the wider culture over a much longer period.
The Golden Dawn, with its role in the foundation of Wicca and modern developments in magic, is a vital thread connecting Victorian esotericism to the present-day occult revival. This visually arresting, meticulously researched literary history teases out these connections, while offering a compelling account of the Order and its members.
Futhark Rune Mysteries
Uncovers the ancient Egyptian origin and magical power of the runes• Reveals the lineage of the runes by tracing their historical journey from Egyptian hieroglyphs through the Semitic Phoenician language to northern Europe• Draws on stories of the Norse sagas to show the runes’ spiritual attributes by looking at the physical characteristics of the objects that represent them• Illustrates the initiatory nature of the runes and how they, like Egyptian hieroglyphs, reveal mysteries of passage through life, death, and the afterlifeThis book reveals the alphabet secrets in the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and traces their journey to the frozen north, where they came to be known as the runes—twenty-four magical symbols, each with their own unique story and power. Judith Dillon illustrates how the runes became not only an alphabet for communication but a spiritual portal to enlightenment. Drawing on Norse sagas and runic poems, Dillon reveals the spiritual and divinatory attributes of each rune by examining the physical characteristics of the objects chosen to represent them. The meaning of rune is “secret,” and she notes that, in addition to the gift of an alphabet, each symbol represents a secret taught to a few initiates through trade guilds that moved over Phoenician trading routes. Dillon also shows how the magical properties of runes are demonstrated through mythological tales. Just as we see in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, or Spells of Coming Forth by Day, these rune mysteries were taught to initiates to reveal ritualistic wisdom of passage through life, death, and the afterlife. More than an alphabet, the runes contain the promise of a return to the light.

Shamanism
The foundational work on shamanism from an influential historian of religionShamanism is an essential account of this mysterious and fascinating phenomenon. The founder of the modern study of the history of religion, Mircea Eliade surveys the shamanic tradition through two and a half millennia of human history, moving from Siberia and Central Asia—where shamanism was first observed—to North and South America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond. This authoritative account illuminates the magico-religious life of societies that give primacy to the figure of the shaman—at once magician and medicine man, healer and miracle-doer, priest, mystic, and poet. Synthesizing the approaches of psychology, sociology, and ethnology, Shamanism is an essential study of an important practice.
