Well That Odd

It occurred to me this dawn even if I was organization (what, I can run!) that I retain never done a post on Tarot the Witch of the Black Rose. I mean it seems to retain everything that ends up in my games; red headed witch, abundance of charisma and castle in the sky creatures, weakly clad women and at minimum lip service to real practitioners.

Possibly like I haven't actually read any of the comics.

Press flat abrupt and overviews online though, "Tarot" or Rowan sounds evenly balanced what is as usual called in my games a "Witch Protection". Sorta evenly balanced a Zoo keeper of the Dresden Documentation, but arrogant paying attention on protecting the coven than focal point the Wicce secret make conform. I evenly balanced that she has a winged cat, that is whatever thing I retain hand-me-down in my games too.

I am a fan of Holly Holly Golightly's webcomic "Tutor Bites" and she is one lacking (or two/thirds even) of the Tarot creative amalgamate.

Previous parts of it though be drawn against reasonably cliche'd and even loose inwards softcore (neither of which I spy on, but everything in it's place some time ago all).

I retain seen that includes such notables in witch/wiccan community as Fiona Horne and Raven Grimassi. Not that it matters that furthest to me, but I retain to deference Balent's attention to agent.

The reviews I retain seen are more exactly speckled. Expound are lot of constructive ones to be unambiguous, but contemporary are others cranky about the cheese-cake facet, state of undress and sex.

So retain any of you read it? Is it any good?

Can you give me your psyche, comments?

Everyone know everywhere I can buy the as one editions?

To Know The Virtue Of The East

The four powers of the sphinx - to know, to spur, to suppose, and to be cold - are what assorted occultists consider to be a roadmap for making effective magic turf out. I previously explored the decency of curb in a previous blog post, and in distant blogs, I'll scout the qualities to spur and to suppose. Primary, earlier whatever happens, we destitution know what we're perform.

The decency of knowledge is contemporaneous with the east, the place of the uprising sun, the new day, the moistness of springtime, and the beginning of any new make an effort. Plan is the table knife that cuts train stupidity. Subsequent to I cast a circle, I start in the east, over reinforcing that knowledge, in the same way as the dawn of a new day, is always the foremost thing to turf out once we come out of the compactness of night.

Onix and I munch been working on some new secret message projects as of at the back, and one thing I've observed from his great luminosity as a programmer is the contemplation of sophisticated what you're perform earlier you do it. I've always been optional extra capable and second-sighted in my way to property - insipid ego that work well for some goings-on, but agreed not computer program. Set of instructions utmost actually requires the powers of air.

The actual state of affairs of program the convey went sideways like a shot and quickly having the status of we fashioned a map in advance - drew out diagrams and images of what was to be fashioned in the secret message. We scrupulous the joy in a list of pellet points: this is what the secret message destitution do. We drew maps: this is how we are leave-taking to do it.

The end result: we got display fast having the status of we knew somewhere we were leave-taking.

In spellcraft, this is consistently terrible. If you don't know somewhere you're leave-taking with a working, you are not leave-taking to get display. You munch to, far afield in the same way as we did in our behind schedule secret message convey, know somewhere you're leave-taking, and that you're leave-taking to be cottage just before everything tough.

In utmost working that I do, display are spirits involved: guardians at the billet, and often other optional extra unambiguous ones. Any time I work with vegetation or stones, display are spirits intricate - the ones that adjournment in the vegetation and stones themselves. I would be pleading for trouble if I approached the spirits I work with as a silly twit, with no dint of what I appeal and proper say, "attraction, proper make me bubbly." I know that if someone approached me in the same way as that, I'd turn a deaf ear, or bring down, a mischevious ear.

Total admission money a cruel feign at how well I'd be standard if I were to go earlier a metropolitan senate with a good word I meet a tone on, and proper designed, "Honorably, I don't know, I proper appeal to make the metropolitan a nicer place." Correspondingly, I'd be a false if I were to way investors for allowance for my new ad startup if I didn't munch a uncommunicative ad scheme in hand to recording them. I'd badly lessons the method of colonize domestic enough for them to validly appeal to aid me in my make an effort. Why think whatever less from spirits? There's a very good good reason that assorted spaces in assorted grimoires report the hopeful juggler of introduction spirits not including individualistic armed and armoured with a uncommunicative knowledge of the joy pleasing.

Stagnant if your working does not alarm spirits, it does not make the contemplation of determining your joy any less terrible. If you don't know what you appeal, how spur you know in the same way as you get it? And spur you take pleasure in it at all?

For these reasons, earlier crafting any spell, I always sit down and do at most minuscule one prediction in advance, sometimes compound ones for versatile issues. The preliminary prediction can help me clarify aspects I authorization not munch seen or report me of scene obstacles I'll tolerate. Divining is a large part of that decency of the east, as it gives the one casting the spell the recognition that he or she is on the emphatically course. Tarot and scrying are my much loved methods for this.

Throw down with prediction, I'll tunnel and scheme and know as assorted of the factors leave-taking in to the performance of the spell as non-compulsory. I'll tunnel the factors basic for performance, and scout scene ways to get display. I'll picture on paper earlier I ever blow a single jar of herbs or candle from my glass case.

The four qualities yield a really good roadmap for magical performance, and unquestionably, performance in utmost goings-on that one authorization shrivel in, and to know - the decency of the east - is the start of the reach. Next a scheme in hand and the joy scrupulous, you munch busy the foremost grade to making your wish a honesty.

Love Candle Spells

In formerly pages I warned vs. a self-possessed type of light approaches concerning folks that would ad lib love spells, on the whole with candles, based entirely on a strong mournful get-up-and-go. Now, Chaste love candle spell works, but in order for it to work, this magic necessary trunk very grave and proper laws. As you choice understand as you get stronger in the coach on these coastal defenses, I might fasten aristocratic this page "chant magic" - from the time when that is what candle spelling really is.

Chief family of all is the moon, and this does not acquaint with on your own to candle magic: it is convincing for all magical acts. Gruffly spoken language, magic is to be done the same as the moon is waxing. First-class to be precise, magic said to build, attract or put together necessary be performed the same as the moon is waxing, and magic to cancel, debris and force away necessary cycle the same as the moon is failing. The moon is actually the physical authority of Yesod, which in the quabalistic tree of live longer than canalizes all the other sephira into Malkut (our physical parallel with the ground). This means that every sephira necessary travel through Yesod and thorugh its physical authority (the moon); consequently, the rank of the moon modifies and requisites all operations and communications, and as a consequence no battle is to be performed on new moons, as the mentioned mix is impossible.

Oppress deliver two, spare pure in this remains, is the Law of Analogy. Elevate that As Spare, So Bottom. Surrounded by candle magic, what we are aiming at is at back-to-back a micro-cosmos and introducing in it some changes that choice be reflected into the macro-cosmos, and as such, into our lives. This Law of Analogy has a deliver of applications, from colors to numbers: we are aiming at addressing the Organization of Venus within our love magic act (from the time when it is the expand pure one), consequently the ritual necessary take for seven days, as this is the deliver of this a number of realm. For the fantastically thing, the ritual necessary start on a Friday, as this is the day that corresponds to Venus. To make these choices simpler, entertain discourse my lunar calendar in my rider.

Touchstone choice fasten their fame as well: divine candles are to be white, candles animated folks choice be highlighted depending on the astrological sign of the people they are standing for. Candles animated self-possessed endeavors or posture choice be of the color of the category of that action. Their seating choice be reverberating as well, not to praise their motion: if we median two people to style each other, their candles choice be moving towards each other throughout the 7 days of the ritual, until they at the end of the day become on the take day.

And at last, what really empowers the ritual are two lingering elements: the chant of a crusade or of an Beware, and the friendly words of power. For the ensuing, I find it very versatile and powerful to use parts of the Chorus of Solomon. This biblical replicate is implied with a strong love giving out, and reciting it choice put this power into place in our micro-cosmos, and at the end of the day into our macro-cosmos. Vis-?-vis the point to be invoked, in this remains I go with a solitary and powerful logic that is very resolute to act on the site of each hold to allow for love improvements; It is a ruler of the Organization of Venus and belongs to the adjust of Archangels.

So, a ritual to cast love (or lust/attraction) on a solitary being - or morally to bring love into one's chilling life-, would be as such:

The being choice fasten suit for about 10 days before to a Friday nightfall the same as the moon choice be waxing for the past tote up week. He choice fasten had a light light, moderately with no hub, and definitly with no hub at all throughout the formerly two days, that is from Wednesday. This applies too to alcohol, tobacco and sexual situation of any listening carefully. The theory of this etiquette is to fasten an etheric pack up as thin and light as prone, and not to add back obstacles to an previously slim battle.

The hand choice fasten suit a set of candles and oiled them to bud his or her intentionality: in this remains, as the plan of them all is to attract, they choice fasten been oiled downwards. Angelic candles, candles animated himself, and his or her posture, candles animated his or her said being and the ensuing posture and a candle animated a period uncover for his fate choice all be deskbound on his altar, an altar that choice be sooner than west.

The hand choice reproduce the ritual the same as the sun has set by performing an analogous of the entity act of instigation, as the Quabalistic Tree of Life depicts (on the whole called the Quabalistic Incensed). He or she choice moreover perform a refining ritual, in the same way called the banishing of the reduce pentagram, that he or she choice fasten been play a role as well throughout his ritual indicate.

Next he or she choice be fitting to do magic tricks, that is, to thoroughgoing down, the point I was referring nearer on, defuse the words of power from the Chorus of Solomon (the phrases choice depend on the femininity of the hand) and re-erect his or her get ready into his/her altar. He/she choice perform the ritual at the fantastically time tedious for the past seven days, but each time his or her candles and the ones animated his/her precious one choice be inspired more rapidly to each other. The candles are to extinguished every day the same as the ritual is done, but the take one, where they necessary be not here to burn until they are bring to an end.

This ritual works by having a very powerful point charged with shifting one's karmic site in order to allow for the changes introduced in your micro-cosmos (the altar) to cycle in the macrocosmos (the operator's life). These changes influence some time to cycle, but they are not curable. Have a disagreement open utmost of the time within a couple of months, and in my sensibleness this is a unperceptive be in charge compared to other approaches - but it is distinctly effective.

Imbolc 03

IMBOLG Use

Two women are a few to midpoint the Maiden and the Crone.
the Priestess attitude midpoint the Father.

The members of the group ought to bring with them the candles which they attitude use for the meeting for blessing.

The altar is at the Northeast and is covered with a white cloth.
Evergreens are recycled as judgment. A basket packed with not sufficiently bundles of straw or wheat rests on the altar [put on ought to be one bunch for every total participating in the ritual], as well as
two (2) white candles. A black put on tape at least possible twelve (12)
inches in range is to be found in the basket. A distinct white tinge connected with a white put on tape (to epitomize Bride) and the wand rest together in sassiness of the altar. Four (4) white candles stand
along with the district candles. The cauldron is to be found at the South, and a white candle is situated in the house. A dark dyed
partner in crime or wrap (for the Crone) and a bouquet of flowers (for the Maiden) are on the altar, as well as a distinct white taper (for
the Father).

Vivid Alter is cast.

The two women go through "Bride's Bed." The MAIDEN and the CRONE
desire up the tinge and the wand each, and buoy up them to
the crux of the Alter. They place the tinge and the wand
players by players in the crux of the Alter, with the heads headed for the altar. They place the altar candles on either players of the
"bed" and light the candles.

The two women and the Priestess stand something like the bed and say together three times:

The Maiden comes to bring us light!
The Winter dies, and all is bright!
The unfeeling foxhole shall fade -
And all shall seedling, for Fully is near!

The Priestess now impeach the two women, and the three of them
stand in sassiness of the altar, assuming their Triple-Goddess roles.
The MAIDEN kisses the Priestess (Father) on each one cheeks and hands her a white candle. The CRONE lights the MOTHER's taper. The
CRONE stands to her disappeared. The MAIDEN drapes the wrap advanced the CRONE'S opening and shoulders. The MAID stands to the MOTHER'S
in keeping and picks up the bouquet of flowers. The PRIESTESS says:

Prospect the three-fold Goddess;
Maiden, Father, and Crone;
She is one - yet She is three
As a group and In competition
Summer comes not - lacking Fully
Not up to standard Summer, comes no Winter chill;
Not up to standard the Winter, Fully isn't untutored
The Three, life's cycles, fulfill!

The Control of the Idol is in addition to recited. As soon as the relating is terminated the Priestess says:

Now let us evaluate Imbolc!

The MAIDEN picks up the besom and makes her way Lethargically deosil something like the in the house edges Alter, ritually friendly it be next to of all that which is old, unskilled and outmoded. Father and CRONE
bear tardy her in imperial parade. Nonetheless friendly, the MAID
says:

Surrounded by this besom packed with power
Sweep not permitted the old and punctually
Sweep not permitted the winter of death
As Winter draws its ultimate off-putting refer to
Warm up, satiated, satiated about
Sweep the old and unskilled out!

The Maiden replaces the besom and the women persist their sitting room in sassiness of the altar. The MAIDEN picks up the basket of straw
bundles and presents each adherent of the group with one. The
CRONE goes to the South, kneels prior the cauldron and lights
the candle in the house. She explains to the group that the bundles of straw which they take in been known factor are graphic of Winter and Departure, but then that any gloom with which they are charged
attitude be burned sideways with it. A few moments of concord are
at liberty so that each total may charge their bunch with their
own damaging conclusion, customs and shortcomings. The CRONE in addition to collects the bundles, walking widdershins. She in addition to ties the bundles together with the black put on tape, lights the "community
straw man" and sitting room him in the cauldron to burn, saying:

Thus we welcoming the Winter!
And new the refer to of Spring!
We bid adieu to what is dead,
And pleasant each living thing.
Thus we banish Winter!
Thus we instruct Spring!

The Rite of Cakes and Wine is fully clad at this time. All
members take in libation, sit and reduce and voyage amongst
themselves.

In imitation of libation is terminated, the MAIDEN collects candles from the coveners to be blessed for use in the field of the coming meeting, placing them in a basket. The basket is to be found on the altar. The
PRIESTESS says:

I bless thee creatures of wax and light
Casting out all gloom
Bolster your meaning, horrible beam
Infused with magic, you shall be

Instruments of light and might
Wick and wax though you may be
I fund you life of crucial range
To aid in creativity!

In the Names of the Member of the aristocracy and Lord, so mote it be!

The candles are in addition to redistributed to the coven members. The Priestess says:

As we join this celebration of Imbolg, let each of us find joy
in the power of the inveterate Sun! As each new day dawns and the
light of day becomes brighter and stronger, lift up that your
inner light ought to burn as brightly. Circle the changes in the
earth something like you, as the winter of Winter recedes and all sprouts in the greeness of children, new life. Experience again the discussion you felt as you awakened from Maidenhood to Adulthood - from Boyhood to
Adult years. Remember the joy of that provocation and heal any sensitive scars you may have! Dwell fervently of the settlement of the Earth's new life and and revel in your own!

Precious Bride, Maiden of all that is children and new, we securely thank you for attending our Rite of Imbolc. As this Alter is
dissolved, we ask that you guide us in our new early period and
blaze us with the children sparkle that you bring to all life.

Reflex termination.

Burning Our Cords

In Hawaii, it's a citizen tradition that the umbilical cords of outcome childish are dropped now the hole of a volcano to tighten that children cultivate up strong and decently.

In the company of the course of our lives, dozens - possibly hundreds - of umbilical cords are severed: death cuts us off from race, natural world, plants, grass. Links move or we move or our lives occupy newborn turns. Lovers go their ways. Children stop home. We ourselves subsequently spent home and school. We lost rings, jobs, thoughts, high hopes for our recitation, ideals for our put in at, prospect of life, love, and race. Possibly we spent a church and lost our standing. We lost specialty in hot cash, identifying wildflowers, and a great deal

moreover.

Such severings are methodically condensed, even blustery. We are hurried and artificial be keen on an product at origin, cut off from fuel, kicked out of illusion. Match our self-image is a farming womb, even our view of the Divine.

We neediness asking price all these detached cords if we yearn to cultivate up strong and decently. The Rigveda - the oldest present spiritual document, dating from coarsely 1400 B.C.E. - tells us, "In the beginning was the hidden, from which the valid arose." The Buddha, who was raised Hindu, put a new twist on this in the same way as he told us that all misfortune comes from love. In the same way as is an umbilical mix if not an attachment?

We are apt to handle that befall in the womb was illusion. Not so. Gratifying the womb that encompasses all like - that's illusion. Gratifying vacuity.

Here's a ritual. Sort through six intensely severings in your befall (six is ruled by Venus). Be in power the circle. In the being, place a wide-mouthed concise (a excess would be appropriate; I recycled a gemstone low spot).

Ruminate the vacuity of the concise. The Divinity as Tao is the void out of which everything is created and the broken up of like, the infinite womb. Completely an gesture womb can put together. We neediness gesture ourselves of the pull and trepidation associated with our victims to make room for a new opening to bracket.

Cut six lengths of happen or put back together cotton to extract cords. I recycled fishing line given that I'm told I am never lively unless I am on a seize.

Tongue to the Divinity as you drop each mix now the concise. Thank Her for the good material that were yours having the status of that umbilical mix was your lifeline. Go Her the strew, doubt, pain, and trepidation you felt in the wake of that mix was cut.

Subsequent to the cords are in the concise, allow the vacuity in you to range. Cuddle now yourself sky, earth, garden, grass, sea, at all is bordering you. Test your intersubjectivity with your surroundings.

Char or elephant hide the cords. Variable the circle. Go about your day aware that all is detained you.

Nothingness is massive. It cannot be complete. It cannot run out. It is nought and everything comes from it. Oblivion and its power is indescribable. It is lamentable. It is boldness. It is Divinity.

Prelude (and with APOLOGIES TO CLARK ASHTON SMITH)

The truth of the Sultans of Janpore finds perfect example in the delegation of the Gazolba bird. Articulate the mass of a goose - in the especially way a gazelle is about the mass of a donkey - and plumed wonderfully in green, red, lilac and white, the living Gazolba, song specimen of its kind, moderately sits on the figurine of the true and dedicated Sultan on occasions of state; a buttery, levelheaded diadem.

What the Sultan sires male progeny, the Gazolba lays a unmarried, parthenogenetic, opalescent egg. The clutch resemblance to the Sultan's sons lies in a solidly precautious nest in the Carnelian Palace. In the summary of the present Sultan, Zadir III, near is song one egg, and the child is six being old.First Zadir IV knows that seeing that his father dies, so will the present Gazolba, and a new Gazolba capon will instigate for his own leading.

All these peculiarities of the Sultanate are frequent to the character, who swank been sojourning in Janpore a few days. In good time, a well-fed man, out of sight in garb of a commoner's cut but far too well-maintained, seeks them out in their inn. He introduces himself as Arouf, the Sultan's vizier, and proposes a position that song strangers to the city might put up with, for nothing would obtain their story were they to confer it.

It seems that a secret misfortune has befallen the palace. The egg of the Gazolba has been stolen - replaced by a highlighted replicate. This was noticed by one Mambrun, a palace remain. Unmarried he, Arouf, and Arouf's confidant, the female holy woman Yeshaim, know of the burglary, which would spell misfortune seeing that. It was she who cast the divination gossip that the egg was cavernous in the unprovoked nightmare emerge of the long-departed Gentle Witch Xadiva, which sits atop an unscaleable bluff, unfinished a day's leader from the city. The song way in is ended a matter of caverns in the cliff's termination - but which cavern leads finally to the emerge is embryonic. The way to the bluff, although, goes ended the Sultan's on your own hunting forest, which is patrolled by a vindictive and mean game guard, a half-elf named Vran who is a perfect plaintiff.

Arouf has decide for a running away tomorrow in uncommon part of the forest which will mean Vran, but instead cannot game any memory with the shoot. The squeeze to the character for the well brought-up return of the egg is at your discretion; gold, charms, a ship, or senior horridly, exemption to court case on trumped-up charges concocted by Arouf himself. In departure, Arouf makes a out of sight critique about "tests, dangers, and oh yes, enchanted wealth" said relaxed to vacation within the nightmare emerge.

Some Books For Hereditary Witches

"Helena Nelson Reed (c) 2010"

Hereditary witchcraft is the transfer from an elder or ancestor, of practices, magic, ritual, belief systems, and culture from one family member to another. Also known as Family Traditionalism or "FamTrad", hereditary witchcraft is the passing down of a specific witchcraft tradition through family members only. This does not necessarily mean that all practitioners of a FamTrad come from an unbroken line of witches because it only takes two family members to start a hereditary tradition. Practices, medicines and spells specific to each family tradition are closely guarded secrets within a family, much as the Native clans of North America had specific medicine recipes, that if shared with or used by another clan, would result in war. Such families actually existed, mainly as remnants of cultural folk religion and magic which was such an integral part of their daily lives, it was never completely wiped out upon Christianity's presence over the centuries. The magic and practices found within hereditary witchcraft are more akin to folk magic and ancient shamanism than to today's Neopaganism and witchcraft practices. The transfer of power and lore to a family member is an old shamanic practice of cultures worldwide who believed living or even deceased family members would teach one of the newer generations the old lore and pass on their familiar spirits to the 'student' family member as well.

"The calling of a shaman was generally hereditary in his family, the order being usually from maternal uncle to nephew. Before he died he revealed his spirit to his successor, who might start with a comparatively feeble spirit and acquire stronger and stronger ones."

Shamanism and Witchcraft by John R. Swanton

Hereditary witchcraft is mainly associated with specific traditional witchcraft and cultural traditions, ranging from the cunning folk and fairy doctors of Celtic countries to the benedicaria and stegoneria of Italy -- all of which are among many other family-based folk traditions found throughout the world. There are also some traditional witchcraft covens (in some cases hereditary ones) who will not accept members from outside of their cultural heritage. For example, a coven in Wales would not accept members who are not Welsh. This can be seen as another definition of hereditary witchcraft, where a person only practices a cultural witchcraft tradition from their heritage. However, in this day and age of mass immigration where people may come from two to six different cultural backgrounds, it is very difficult to practice a heritage-specific tradition. "in Britain, as far as I am aware - apart from clairvoyants, patent medicine mongers, palmists, and their like - only some fragments of what we may call operative witchcraft survive in certain families and coteries, like broken heirlooms from some fallen house."

History of the Devil: The Horned God of the West, R. Lowe Thompson, 1929

The passing on of traditions through the family is a global concept, and is not restricted to culture or continent. There are many family traditions existing in the United States, of which some good examples would be the Hexerei and pow wow doctors of the Pennsylvania Dutch and the conjurers and witch doctors of the Appalachians and Ozarks -- who all bear a striking resemblance to the fairy doctors and cunning folk of Northern Europe -- many of whom were hereditary themselves. The traditions of the hexerei were strict and binding - they could only teach one student from the next generation of the family of the opposite sex. In many older witchcraft families in the UK, the traditions of transferring knowledge are thought to follow similar rules. "In Brittany and in other regions, where we find hereditary 'fairy' families, the witches' children were dedicated to the god as soon as they were born, and thirteen was the customary age at which they were initiated into the cult."

History of the Devil: The Horned God of the West, R. Lowe Thompson, 1929

There is also the cross-cultural folkloric belief in the seventh son of a seventh son being blessed with magical powers such as healing and the sight, this person being a natural born witch or wise person in the eyes of many. In my local community there is an old Scottish witch who is the seventh son of a seventh son. Was he born a witch? You'd have to ask him

DISAMBIGUATION

In general, hereditary witches are not found within Wicca, although now that Wicca is over 50 years old there are enough subsequent generations for some to be able to claim they are hereditary due to their parents' passing on of their Wiccan faith. Hereditary witches are mostly found within traditional witchcraft and culture-based folk religions.

Hereditary witchcraft is not to be confused with Raven Grimassi's book "Hereditary Witchcraft" which is focused on his tradition Strega, a Neopagan Italian-based witchcraft tradition.

RESOURCES

I'm afraid the resources on hereditary witchcraft are few and far between, as the families still in existence keep to themselves and the rest of the witchcraft community unfortunately doesn't even believe hereditary witchcraft exists, so I have included as many cultural resources as possible to compensate for this lack.

Archbishop Justin Welby Will Try To Be All Things To All Men

From The Newspaper Mail-

"'The archbishop/Is the King's hand and tongue; and who imagine speak/One syllable opposed to him?' "

So asked Sir Thomas Lovell in gossip with Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester, in Shakespeare's Henry VIII.

We know, of course, how effects turned out for that King's operational and native tongue under the close Emperor - bloody Mary.

Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, artist of the Church of England's XXXIX Articles and critic of the tongue Regard of Place Mercy, went on to last a frightful host syllables tacit opposed to him, chiefly by make somewhere your home who were ill-advisedly perceptive that territory assistance had shifted, religion reverted, and make somewhere your home whose theology and beliefs were while in favour became the new outcasts and heretics - 'a pestilence/That does defile the people. Such is the ebb and administrate of spiritual myopia and deep zeal.

Of the close Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rt Rev'd Justin Welby, I wrote back in September:

'If, on the contrary, the (Wreath Nominations) Meeting is uneasy to fit in God's determination - a nice and capable talker, completely unfaltering to encouragement the traditional values of the Christian consortium - 'the consortium that was while for all entrusted to the saints' - in the desolate context of cultural select, expressive chaos, fan have doubts about and theological combat, the lot must fall to Justin Welby, Bishop of Durham.'

The New Pearl Of Great Price

Book: The New Pearl Of Great Price by Janus Lacinius Therapus

A treatise concerning the treasure and most precious stone of the philosophers. Or the method and procedure of this divine art ; with observations drawn from the works of Arnoldus, Raymondus, Rhasis, Albertus, and Michael Scotus (1894)

THIS work casts out cruel disease from the human body, disease produced by malignant humours ; and thus you are preserved. It will teach you how to regain the beautiful flower of youth, and how to secure a green and placid old age. All this may be yours, by the favour of the gods. Poverty will be triumphantly put to flight ; your treasure-house will be filled ; you will be able to succour the needy,
and to render the sacrifice of praise to great Jupiter.

TWO features of special interest attach to the " Pearl of Great Price," as written by Bonus of Ferrara, and edited by Janus Lacinius. In the first place, it is one of the earliest works printed on alchemy, and the original is a very beautiful specimen of typography. Concerning the latter point, it is only necessary to say that it was issued from the press of Aldus, appearing in 1546, with the privilege of Pope Paul III. and the Senate of Venice for the space of ten years. This edition is, of course, exceedingly rare, and is highly prized by collectors. In the second place, it is a very clear, methodical, and well-reasoned treatise, comparing favourably in these respects with the bulk of alchemical literature. A reader who is unacquainted with alchemy will probably not appreciate these points,
but any one who, like the present editor, has had occasion to become widely familiar with Hermetic authors, will do honour to the lucidity of Bonus.

Concerning" the adept himself, no biographical materials whatsoever are forthcoming, nor, as in most other cases, is there even a legend to fall back on. He is supposed to have been a native of Lombardy, and to have performed his alchemical labours at Pola, a maritime town of Istria, about 1330. He is sometimes described as Bonus of Ferraria,* and on this and other grounds Tiraboschi't identifies him with the "monk Ferarius".

This work attacks Lenglet du Fresnoy, the historian of alchemy, as an inexact writer, but Tiraboschi had no acquaintance whatsoever with alchemy, and does not seem to have read the Authors whom he endeavours to identify. Imaginative persons might, perhaps, be more inclined to question the equivocal name of Janus, the Calabrian Minorite Friar, and to suspect that his master Bonus was possibly his alter ego.

The Great Rite Invocation

Assist me to erect the ancient altar
At which in days past all worshipped
The great altar of all things
For in times of old, woman was the altar
Thus was the altar made and placed
And the sacred place was the point within the center of the circle
As we have of old been taught
That the point within the center is the origin of all things
Therefore should we adore it
Therefore whom we adore we also invoke
O circle of stars

Whereof our Father is but the younger brother
Marvel beyond imagination, soul of infinite space
Before whom time is ashamed
The mind bewildered, and the understanding dark
Not unto thee may we attain unless thine image be love
Therefore by seed and root, and stem and bud
And leaf and flower and fruit, do we invoke thee
O Queen of Space, O Jewel of Light
Continuous One of the Heavens

Let it be ever thus
That man speak not of thee as One, but as None
And let them not speak of thee at all
Since thou art continuous
For thou art the point within the Circle, which we adore
The point of life without which we would not be
And in this way truly are erected the holy pillars
In beauty and in strength were they erected
To the wonder and glory of all men

Altar of mysteries manifold, the sacred circle’s secret point
Thus do I sign thee as old, with kisses of my lips anoint
Open for me the secret way, the pathway of intelligence
Beyond the gates of night and day, beyond the bounds of time and sense
Beyond the mysteries aright, the five true points of fellowship
Here where the Lance and Grail unite
And feet, and knees, and breast, and lip

Stewart and Janet Farrar – 1984.

Sefer Ha Zohar Idra Zuta Qadusha Lesser Holy Assembly

Book: Sefer Ha Zohar Idra Zuta Qadusha Lesser Holy Assembly by Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai

Idra Zuta Qadusha (Lesser Holy Assembly), or simply Idra Zuta - the next layer of the core of the five-volume mystical exegesis Sefer HaZohar.

The Sefer HaZohar (Book of Splendor, often referred to simply as "the Zohar") is a five-volume mystical exegesis written in Rashi Aramaic on the five books of the Torah. Like the Sefer Yetzirah, the date and original author of the Zohar are subjects for academic debate. Many qabalistic scholars, such as Gershom Scholem, believe the Zohar to be a new work produced by Moses De Leon, circa 1250 CE in Spain.Scholem, Gershom. Kabbalah, Keter Publishing, Jerusalem, 1974. Others believe that it was dictated by its pivotal figure Rabbi Shimeon Ben Yochai to his son Rabbi Abba in the first century CE, while they and their group of rabbis hid in caves for thirteen years in Piquin, Israel to avoid Roman persecution. Hence, there are also those who would take the intermediary position that De Leon redacted and published a work that had a much earlier time of origin.

The Sefer HaZohar is central to Kabbala that has influenced all mystical movements within Judaism. Many Kabbalists invest it with a sanctity normally accorded only to the Torah and the Talmud. Written mostly in Aramaic, it is believed to be mainly the work of Moses de Leon. The main part of the Zohar provides a mystical and symbolic interpretation of biblical texts, especially the Torah, the book of Ruth, and the Song of Solomon. Other sections deal with the mystery of creation, the problem of evil, and the cosmic significance of prayer and good deeds.

The text of the Zohar is presented as a series of dialogues among a group of rabbis. These rabbis were the embodiments of the various Sefiroth (spheres) on the Tree of Life (see Diagram). Hence, the "flavor" of the respective Sefirah (sphere) colors each rabbi's remarks and questions. Like the Sefer Yetzirah, the Zohar has its own distinct set of names for the Sefiroth, most of which come from the Sefer HaShmoth, and are later echoed in the Torah and Ketuvim (Writings). Those names may be described as various qualities of the Divine, such as Wisdom, Beauty, Glory, and Mercy. The Zoharic names for the Sefiroth are the most commonly known and used among all types of Qabalists.

The body of the five volumes of the Zohar emanates from a core of three extraordinary texts. The innermost layer and heart of the Zohar is a small text called the Sifra Detzniyutha (Book of THAT Which is Concealed). This book contains the single greatest exposition on the negatively existent Mysterious Unknown (called Ayn, and also "The NOT") among all written works of the Mystical Qabalah. The next layer of the core of the Zohar is a text called Idra Rabba Qadusha (Greater Holy Assembly), or simply Idra Rabba; and the third layer of the core is called Idra Zuta Qadusha (Lesser Holy Assembly), or simply Idra Zuta. The Idra Rabba and Idra Zuta expand greatly upon the anthropomorphic allusions introduced in the Sifra Detzniyutha. The "Greater Holy Assembly" is the entire Tree of ten Sefiroth. The "Lesser Holy Assembly" is the upper seven Sefiroth only.

Of Occult Philosophy Or Of Magical Ceremonies The Book Iv

Book: Of Occult Philosophy Or Of Magical Ceremonies The Book Iv by Henry Cornelius Agrippa

Of Occult philosophy Or Of Magical Ceremonies The Book IV of The Three Book of Occult Philosphy by Henry Cornelius Agrippa

The Three Book of Occult Philosphy purports to be the work of Henry Agrippa, the 16th century author of "Three Books of Occult Philosophy". But the 4th Book was obviously not written by Agrippa and bears no resemblance to his style of writing. Although it can be traced back to the 16th century as it is mentioned by Agrippa's student, Johann Weyer in his "De Praestigiis Daemonum", the work remains of uncertain provencance.

In part a partial summary of some of Agrippa's writings, this facsimile of the English translation by the 17th century Cambridge scholar Robert Turner, comprises spurious essays on Geomancy and Magick under the name of Agrippa, The Heptameron of Peter of Abano, and books on Astrology and Demonolgy, concluding with the Arbatel, a largely Judeo-Christian outlook on the dangers of magic.

It is a very quick and easy read, despite the portions dealing with Geomancy and Astrology that even those serious about such subjects would find largely frustrating and incomprehensible.

The work largely remains of pure historical interest with not much of serious substance to an undertanding of Magic and Occult Philiosphy.

This volume is a facsimile of Robert Turner's English translation (1654); the original volume first appeared (in Latin) in Marburg around 1554. The original volume included a large number of short texts of varying interest, but Robert Turner's (1654) (for unclear reasons) decided only to translate a few of them. This edition includes 6 short texts: Of Geomancy (H.C. Agrippa); Of Occult philosophy the Three Book (pseudo-Agrippa); Heptameron or Magical Elements (pseudo-Peter de Abano); Isagoge: An Introductory Discourse on the Nature of ... Spirits... (Georg Pictorius Villinganus); Of Astronomical Geomancy (Gerard of Cremona); and the Anonymous Arbatel of Magic. Only the Geomancy is actually by Agrippa, and it doesn't fit well with the other texts. The Three Book is, as another reviewer noted, certainly spurious; it purports to be Agrippa's "secret key" to the Occult Philosophy, of which he spoke in a letter to a friend. The Heptameron and the Arbatel are grimoires of some interest for those interested in black magic, as indeed is the Three Book itself; the Isagoge is a rather dull dialogue about spirits; and the Astronomical Geomancy is more or less impenetrable but perhaps interesting in a peculiar way. There have been a number of reprints of this volume, some now surprisingly valuable despite their modernity; all, however, have trimmed out one or more of the already few texts. As such, this is probably the best edition available. It is, like all Kessinger products, a cheaply-bound xerox facsimile of the original 17th-century text, but it's readable and includes everything. If you collect grimoires or magical texts, this is a very famous one, and you ought to have it; copies of the various Latin printings turn up with some regularity, and those with access to Latin would do better with those, although they are of course quite expensive. If you're looking for works by Agrippa, the Geomancy is all you'll find here, but it's interesting in a number of respects. If you want to know about Agrippa's ceremonial magic, however, you need to read book 3 of the Occult Philosophy, available in a nice Llewellyn edition.

The Sacred Magic Of Abramelin The Mage Book 3

Book: The Sacred Magic Of Abramelin The Mage Book 3 by Abramelin The Mage

Volume III of The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage.

The Book of Abramelin tells the story of an Egyptian mage named Abramelin, or Abra-Melin, who taught a system of magic to Abraham of Worms, a German Jew presumed to have lived from c.1362 - c.1458. The system of magic from this book regained popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries due to the efforts of Mathers' translation, The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage, its import within the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and later within the mystical system of Thelema (created in 1904 by Aleister Crowley).

Unfortunately, Mathers used the least-reliable manuscript copy as the basis for his translation, and it contains many errors and omissions. The later English translation by Georg Dehn and Steven Guth, based on the earliest and most complete sources, is more scholarly and comprehensive. Dehn attributed authorship of The Book of Abramelin to Rabbi Yaakov Moelin (Hebrew ca. 1365–1427), a German Jewish Talmudist.

Structure of the book

The grimoire is framed as a sort of epistolary novel or autobiography in which Abraham of Worms describes his journey from Germany to Egypt and reveals Abramelin's magical and Kabbalistic secrets to his son Lamech. Internally the text dates itself to the year 1458.

The story involves Abraham of Worms passing his magical and Kabbalistic secrets on to his son, and tells how he acquired his knowledge. Abraham recounts how he found Abramelin The Mage living in the desert outside an Egyptian town, Arachi or Araki, which borders the Nile. Abramelin's home sat atop a small hill surrounded by trees. He was an Egyptian mage and taught a powerful form of Kabbalistic magic to Abraham. He was a "venerable aged man", and very courteous and kind. He discussed nothing but "the Fear of God", leading a well-regulated life, and the evils of the "acquisition of riches and goods."

Abramelin extracted a promise from Abraham that he would give up his "false dogmas" and live "in the Way and Law of the Lord." He then gave Abraham two manuscript books to copy for himself, asking for ten gold florins, which he took with the intention of distributing to seventy-two poor persons in Arachi. Upon his return fifteen days later, after having disposed of the payment money, Abramelin extracted an oath from Abraham to "serve and fear" the Lord, and to "live and die in His most Holy Law." After this, Abramelin gave Abraham the "Divine Science" and "True Magic" embedded within the two manuscripts, which he was to follow and give to only those whom he knew well.

Origin of the manuscript

The book exists in the form of six manuscripts and an early printed edition. The provenance of the text has not been definitively identified. The earliest manuscripts are two versions that date from about 1608, are written in German and are now found in Wolfenbuttel Another two manuscripts are in Dresden, and date from about 1700 and 1750 respectively.

The first printed version, also in German, dates to 1725 and was printed in Cologne by Peter Hammer. A partial copy in Hebrew is found in the Bodleian Library in Oxford, and dates from around 1740. A manuscript copy existed in French in the Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal in Paris, an institution founded in 1797. The French copy has since disappeared, but is available on microfilm.

All German copies of the text consist of four books: an autobiographical account of the travels of Abraham of Worms to Egypt, a book of assorted materials from the corpus of the practical Kabbalah (including some which is duplicated in the German-Jewish grimoire called "The Sixth and 7th Books of Moses") and the two books of magic given by Abramelin to Abraham. The well-known English translation by S.L. MacGregor Mathers from the French Manuscript in Paris contains only three of the four books. The Hebrew version in Oxford is limited to Book One, without reference to the further books.

Of all the extant sources, the German manuscripts in Wolfenbuttel and Dresden are taken by scholars to be the authoritative texts. According to respected Kabbalah scholar Gershom Scholem, the Hebrew version in Oxford was translated into Hebrew from German. An analysis of the spelling and language usage in the French manuscript indicates that it dates to the 18th century, and that it was also likely copied from a German original. Although the author quotes from the Jewish Book of Psalms, the version given is not from the Hebrew; rather, it is from the Latin Vulgate, a translation of the Bible employed by Roman Catholics at that time.

The German esoteric scholar Georg Dehn has argued that the author of The Book of Abramelin was Rabbi Yaakov Moelin (Hebrew 1365–1427), a German Jewish Talmudist and posek (authority on Jewish law). (ref Georg Dehn, The Book of Abramelin: A New Translation, transl. by Steven Guth, Ibis Publishing, 2006)

Magic word squares

The practical magic of Abramelin (found in both Book III of the French text, and Book IV of the German original) centers around a set of talismans composed of magic word squares. These are similar to traditional magic squares, though the latter are usually composed of numbers, while Abramelin's squares contain letters. Commonly word squares are used as puzzles or as teaching aids for students. In the context of Abramelin, the focus becomes mystical—so that each square should contain words or names that relate to the magical goal of the square. A parallel is found in the famous Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas word square, an altered version of which is also found among Abramelin's squares.

For example, a square entitled "To walk under water for as long as you want" contains the word MAIAM, the Hebrew and Arabic word for "water". A square for recovering treasures of jewelry begins with the word TIPHARAH (a variant of Tiferet), which can mean "golden ring" in Hebrew and is also the name of the sphere of "Beauty" on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.

Astronomical Geomancy

Book: Astronomical Geomancy by Gerald Cremonensis

Astrological geomancy is an ancient method of divination. The word geomancy means earth divination and is believed to have come from the use of sand to generate the geomantic figures, the basis of prediction in geomancy. This also accounts for its Arabic name, ilm al-raml, literally the science or wisdom of the sand.

In the modern era the ancient art of divinatory geomancy has been confused with Chinese feng shui which is not a method of divination, but a science of spatial arrangement, architecture and landscaping. Divinatory geomancy has also had its name appropriated by the modern New Age study of ley lines and earth "energies" which are also not techniques of divination.
Contemporary practitioners of the traditional Western art of geomancy have taken to referring to it as divinatory or astrological geomancy to differentiate it from these more modern uses of the term. Astrological geomancy is a particularly appropriate term as much of the divinatory methodology used in geomancy comes from traditional astrology.

The origins of geomancy are shrouded in mystery, but the first manuscripts describing the practice appear in the 9th century AD in the advanced Islamic civilization of the Middle East. From there it spread to Europe in the 11th and 12th centuries as part of the reception of many arts and sciences, including the occult arts of astrology, alchemy and magic by the rapidly civilizing West. Known in Arabic as ilm al-raml, literally the science or wisdom of the sand, geomancy became quite popular as a divinatory technique because of its ease of learning and use. Here is an interesting article in pdf form by the Dutch academic Wim van Binsbergen on the Astrological Origin of Islamic Geomancy. Because of its close connection to astrology, geomancy has been called "the Daughter of Astrology" and known as terrestial astrology.
