Jesus and the Lost Goddess. The Secret Teachings of the Original Christians. Timothy Freke. Peter Gandy

Jesus and the Lost Goddess. The Secret Teachings of the Original Christians. Timothy Freke. Peter Gandy
Jesus and the Lost Goddess. The Secret Teachings of the Original Christians. Timothy Freke. Peter Gandy

 I gave "Jesus and the Lost Goddess" by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy a read through...

 

 Why Were the Teachings of the Original Christians Brutally Suppressed by the Roman Church?


• Because they portray Jesus and Mary Magdalene as mythic figures based on the Pagan Godman and Goddess
• Because they show that the gospel story is a spiritual allegory encapsulating a profound philosophy that leads to mythical enlightenment
• Because they have the power to turn the world inside out and transform life into an exploration of consciousness

Drawing on modern scholarship, the authors of the international bestseller The Jesus Mysteries decode the secret teachings of the original Christians for the first time in almost two millennia and theorize about who the original Christians really were and what they actually taught. In addition, the book explores the many myths of Jesus and the Goddess and unlocks the lost secret teachings of Christian mysticism, which promise happiness and immortality to those who attain the state of Gnosis, or enlightenment. This daring and controversial book recovers the ancient wisdom of the original Christians and demonstrates its relevance to us today.

Grimoire of the Thorn-Blooded Witch. Raven Grimassi. Wicca. Witchcraft

 I'm enjoying "Grimoire of the Thorn-Blooded Witch" by Raven Grimassi.

 

 Learn to Stand with Feet Rooted in Shadow and Hands Stretched to the Stars

"In your hands is Raven Grimassi's most personal and powerful work to date. In it he shares profound Craft teachings that will transform your relationship with magick, and your work as a Witch. I wish I'd had access to this treasure earlier on my path."--Christopher Penczak, cofounder of the Temple of Witchcraft and author of the Plant Spirit Familiar

For the first time in more than a decade, Grimassi introduces readers to a new system of witchcraft, one that draws upon the old ways and the old days. Rich with spells, rituals, and detailed illustrations of plant spirits, Grimassi dares readers to take the path that leads deep into the darkened woods--to traverse upon the Thorned Path.

Meet the entities that dwell within the organic memory of the earth, the devas, the deities, the magical life force that lies within the wooded glen. Learn to work with these spirits, and use their wisdom to transform your life and your practice.

The Four Elements of the Wise: Working with the Magickal Powers of Earth, Air, Water, Fire. Ivo Dominguez, Jr.

The Four Elements of the Wise: Working with the Magickal Powers of Earth, Air, Water, Fire. Ivo Dominguez, Jr.

 I'm enjoying "The Four Elements of the Wise" by Ivo Dominguez, Jr.

 

An in-depth exploration of the elements, their lore, history, correspondences, and use in spellwork and ritual. 

The four elements are the pillars that uphold the manifest world and anchor spirit to matter. They are associated with a wide range of spiritual entities, from small elementals to divine beings.

This book explores the consciousness of the elements, which provides a system of understanding that supports most of the magic of the West and paganism. The use of the elements in a wide range of systems and practices will be examined. Much has been written about the four elements already; this book offers new teachings for newcomers and long-time practitioners alike.

Each of the four elements is explored in depth, including how they interact and change as they rise on the planes. Practical applications for working with the elements are also woven throughout the book. The book concludes with the union of the elements that is more than just becoming Spirit, but the completion of their Great Work.

The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak

The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak. Wicca. Occult. Magick
The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak. Wicca. Occult. Magick

 I'm reading through "The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft" by Christopher Penczak. This is the third volume in his Temple series. I have the 6-book set. I read #1 (Inner Temple) and #2 (Outer Temple) last year.

 

Is shamanism all that different from modern witchcraft? According to Christopher Penczak, Wicca's roots go back 20,000 years to the Stone Age shamanic traditions of tribal cultures worldwide. A fascinating exploration of the Craft's shamanic origins, The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft offers year-and-a-day training in shamanic witchcraft.

Penczak's third volume of witchcraft teachings corresponds to the water element―guiding the reader into this realm of emotion, reflection, and healing. The twelve formal lessons cover shamanic cosmologies, journeying, dreamwork, animal/plant/stone medicine, totems, soul retrieval, and psychic surgery. Each lesson includes exercises (using modern techniques and materials), assignments, and helpful tips. The training ends with a ritual for self-initiation into the art of the shamanic witch―culminating in an act of healing, rebirth, and transformation.
