The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. Grimoire. Magick. Edited by Joseph H. Peterson

The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses. Grimoire. Magick. Edited by Joseph H. Peterson

 I'm reading through "The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses" grimoire edited by Joseph H. Peterson...

For people interested in folk magic. The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, arguably one of the most popular magick books ever published, contains two secret apocrypha ascribed to Moses, perhaps pseudepigraphically. The book consists of a collection of texts,which claim to explain the magick Moses used to win the biblical magick contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, part the Red Sea, and perform other miraculous feats. It includes instruction in the form of invocations, magick words, and seals for calling upon the angels to affect worldly ends, from the sublime (calling down a plague of locusts and frogs upon your enemy) to the mundane (getting more money). Many manuscripts and printed pamphlet versions circulated in Germany in the 1800s, and an English translation by Johann Scheible first appeared in New York in 1880 that had not been corrected or re-edited until now. In creating this restored, corrected edition, Joseph Peterson drew on Scheible's final edition of the text and his original sources. It will be of great interest to those who have suffered through prior editions and anyone looking for a traditional source of Western magick. * Used in various modern traditions of American folk magick, from Pennsylvania Dutch hexmeisters and contemporary eclectic magicians, to voodoo practitioners and African American root workers. * Updated or fresh translations from original German, Latin, and Hebrew sources and restoration of censored or left out passages in earlier editions and 35 pages of text never before translated. * Describes the biblical magick ascribed to Moses and its application. * Extensively illustrated with over 100 magical seals, signs, and sigils.

Winged Pharaoh. Joan Grant. Far Memory series

Winged Pharaoh. Joan Grant. Far Memory series
Winged Pharaoh. Joan Grant. Far Memory series

 I'm enjoying "Winged Pharaoh" by Joan Grant.

As a child, the astonishing Joan Grant became aware of her uncanny “Far Memory,” the ability to recall past incarnations who had lived in long-ago times and far-flung places. Her seven historical novels stand out for their vividness and rich detail. For Joan, these books were not works of the imagination but personal recollections of her previous lives.

In
Winged Pharaoh, Joan Grant tells the story of Sekeeta, the Pharaoh’s daughter. The ancient Egyptians reserved the title of “Winged Pharaoh” for ruler-priests who possessed extra-sensory powers. When Sekeeta demonstrates psychic abilities, she is sent to the temple and trained to recall past lives. Upon the death of her father, she becomes a “Winged Pharaoh”—both priestess and Pharaoh—and leads her country with enlightenment.

The most famous of Joan Grant’s Far Memory novels, this book brings the grandeur, beauty, and mystery of ancient Egypt to life.

Magickal Riches. Occult Rituals for Manifesting Money. Damon Brand. The Gallery of Magick

 I'm enjoying "Magickal Riches" by Damon Brand, published by the Gallery of Magick.

Do you want to discover the most treasured secrets of money magick?

Acclaimed author Damon Brand presents an exclusive system for attracting money.

This proven magick works safely, without wands, herbs, incense or candles. There is no need to pay the spirits, and there is no karma or spiritual backlash. You get what you deserve, you get it fast and you get to spend it any way you want.

Where the Magickal Cashbook gave just one method for attracting a small burst of money, and Wealth Magick worked on long-term career enhancement, Magickal Riches contains practical rituals that continually manifest money.

Developed from ancient knowledge and modern occult technology, the major workings in this book have never been published before, in any form. The secrets of Magickal Riches have been crafted by The Gallery of Magick during the past thirty years.

You will discover:

*The Master Money Ritual, using a sigil that contains a pattern of magickal symbols

*How to find your Secret Source of Money, to provide new streams of unexpected income

*A Ritual To Increase Sales, for anybody who sells a product of any kind.

*A Ritual For Buying and Selling that ensures that you get the best deal when you are buying or selling anything, from a small item to a house or business.

*A ritual to Get Somebody To Pay Up. When you are owed money, use magick to get what belongs to you.

*The Genius Rituals, with a set of unique sigils to call on intelligent and helpful spirits.

*A ritual to Attract Money Through Perception, for trading shares, or to find out the best course of action in any money-making situation.

*The Chance Money Attraction ritual, employing the power of Nitika in harmony with other genius spirits, to bring money out of the blue.

*The Gambling Ritual, to increase your luck in lotteries and games of chance.

*A secret technique, never revealed until now, for adding extra energy to your magickal workings.

Damon Brand says, 'Creating money with magick is one of the most direct and exciting ways to experience the raw power of the occult.'

If you are completely new to magick, be assured that this magick is safe and effective. It will work whether you believe in it or not. If you are an experienced occultist, you will discover many new secrets for manifesting money.

This exceptional work gives you all the knowledge, techniques, images and secret words that you need to unleash a flow of riches into your life.

The Mist-Filled Path. Celtic Wisdom for Exiles, Wanderers and Seekers. Frank MacEowen

 I'm enjoying The Mist-Filled Path: Celtic Wisdom for Exiles, Wanderers and Seekers by Frank MacEowen.

In The Mist-Filled Path, Frank MacEowen, a preeminent teacher of Celtic spirituality, shows how embracing the indigenous wisdom of Scotland and Ireland can lead to healing and transcendence. Using his own travels and teachings along with Celtic stories and myths, he explores ancient traditions, eco-psychology, the ancient mother, altars and hearths, Oran Mor (the Great Song), contemplation, and mysticism. The book tells how to draw on ancestral roots to find a personal spirituality that also works for the greater good.

Practical Angel Magic of Dr John Dee's Enochian Tables. Stephen Skinner. David Rankine. Source Works of Ceremonial Magic Volume One

 I'm enjoying "Practical Angel Magic of Dr John Dee's Enochian Tables' by Dr Stephen Skinner and David Rankine. This is Volume One in the Source Works of Ceremonial Magic series.

Derived from two previously unpublished seventeenth century manuscripts on angel magic, this coveted book contains the final corrected version of John Dee's great tables and an expansion of his most prized book of invocations.

Discover what happened to John Dee's most important manuscript, his book of personal angelic invocations, and how it was developed by seventeenth century magicians into a full working magical system. Learn how only a small part of this material reached the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and was suppressed―never appearing in Israel Regardie's monumental work on the Order rituals.

 I'm enjoying "An Invitation to the Secret Doctrine" by H.P. Blavatsky.

For those who would like to explore the essence of The Secret Doctrine, or who have had difficulty penetrating its two large volumes, An Invitation to The Secret Doctrine should prove welcome. Based on Blavatsky's study suggestions given to her personal students, it is a succinct and appealing statement of the SD's principal teachings in her own words. Included are the Bowen notes of HPB's comments, relevant pages from The Secret Doctrine, photographs of HPB's manuscript, a historical account of 'The Writing of The Secret Doctrine' by Kirby Van Mater, and a glossary of terms.

John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age. Brian C. Wilson

John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age. Brian C. Wilson

 I'm reading through "John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age" by Brian C. Wilson.

John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age follows the spiritual sojourn of John E. Fetzer, a Michigan business tycoon. Born in 1901 and living most of his life in Kalamazoo, Fetzer parlayed his first radio station into extensive holdings in broadcasting and other enterprises, leading to his sole ownership of the Detroit Tigers in 1961. By the time he died in 1991, Fetzer had been listed in Forbes magazine as one of the four hundred wealthiest people in America. And yet, business success was never enough for Fetzer―his deep spiritual yearnings led him from the Christianity of his youth to a restless exploration of metaphysical religions and movements ranging from Spiritualism, Theosophy, Freemasonry, UFOology, and parapsychology, all the way to the New Age as it blossomed in the 1980s.

Author Brian C. Wilson demonstrates how Fetzer's quest mirrored those of thousands of Americans who sought new ways of thinking and being in the ever-changing spiritual movements of the twentieth century. Over his lifetime, Fetzer's worldview continuously evolved, combining and recombining elements from dozens of traditions in a process he called "freedom of the spirit." Unlike most others who engaged in a similar process, Fetzer's synthesis can be documented step by step using extensive archival materials, providing readers with a remarkably rich and detailed roadmap through metaphysical America. The book also documents how Fetzer's wealth allowed him to institutionalize his spiritual vision into a thriving foundation―the Fetzer Institute―which was designed to carry his insights into the future in hopes that it would help catalyze a global spiritual transformation.

John E. Fetzer and the Quest for the New Age offers a window into the rich and complex history of metaphysical religions in the Midwest and the United States at large. It will be read with interest by those wishing to learn more about this enigmatic Michigan figure, as well as those looking for an engaging introduction into America's rapidly shifting spiritual landscape.

The Lesser Key of Solomon. Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis. Grimoire. Joseph H. Peterson
The Lesser Key of Solomon. Lemegeton Clavicula Salomonis. Grimoire. Joseph H. Peterson

 I'm reading through Joseph H. Peterson's edition of "The Lesser Key of Solomon."


Compiled from original manuscripts and fragments in the British Museum Library, Joseph Peterson's new presentation is the most complete and accurate edition of this famous magical grimoire.

A widely respected scholar and archivist of occult texts, Peterson goes to great length to establish the provenance of each part of
The Lessor Key of Solomon, and possible derivative works, including critical analyses of all major variations, utilizing fresh translations of earlier magical texts such as Johann Trithemius's Steganographia, The Archidoxes of Magic by Paracelsus, and newly discovered Hebrew manuscripts of the original Key of Solomon.

Abundantly illustrated, Peterson includes reproductions of the original magical circles, tools, and seals of the spirits with variations of certain drawings from various sources and notae missing from earlier editions.

This definitive edition of
The Lesser Key of Solomon includes:
  • Goetia—The ritual invocation of evil spirits and Solomons devices for binding them
    Theurgia Goetia—Continues the study of spirits that are “partly good and partly evil”
    Ars Paulina—Outlines the good spirits or angles governing the hours of the day and the signs of the zodiac. The text is purported to have been discovered by the Apostle Paul after he had been snatched up to heaven and includes “The Conjuration of the Holy Guardian Angel.”
    Ars Almadel—attributed to an Arab of the same name, this text describes twenty beneficial sprits that govern the zodiac
    Ars Notoria—With roots that go back to the 13th century Latin manuscripts, and probably even early oral traditions, this collection of orations and prayers in interspersed with magical words said to have mystical properties that can impart communion with God and knowledge of divine and human arts and sciences.
    Appendices, which include addenda found in the Sloan Manuscript 2731, Johan Weyer’s Psuedomonarchia demonum
