The Outer Temple of Witchcraft. Christopher Penczak. Wicca. Paganism. Magick. Occult
I'm enjoying "The Outer Temple of Witchcraft", Book Two in the highly regarded book series by Christopher Penczak.
This new edition of the award-winning Outer Temple of Witchcraft
features enhancements, corrections, and a focus on inclusivity. As you
enter the heart of witchcraft, you find at its core the power of sacred
space. In Christopher Penczak's first book, The Inner Temple of Witchcraft, you found the sacred space within yourself. Now The Outer Temple of Witchcraft
helps you manifest the sacred in the outer world through ritual and
spellwork. The book's twelve lessons, with exercises, rituals, and
homework, follow the traditional Wiccan one-year-and-a-day training
period. It culminates in a self-test and self-initiation ritual to the
second degree of witchcraft―the arena of the priestess and priest.

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.
The Craft. 1996. Witchcraft. Wicca. Fairuza Balk. Robin Tunney. Neve Campbell
Four high school misfits who experiment with witchcraft must deal with the consequences of their newfound abilities
Having just moved to Los Angeles, Sarah (Robin Tunney) is an outsider
at St. Benedict's Academy until she meets three other social outcasts.
Nancy (Fairuza Balk), Bonnie (Neve Campbell) and Rochelle (Rachel True)
will never fit in with the “in” crowd. But together with Sarah, they
learn that being an outsider has its own kind of power. Nancy, Bonnie
and Rochelle dabble in the occult, and when they notice Sarah has the
powers of a natural witch, they talk her into joining their coven. With
the addition of a fourth witch they find they can cast spells they
couldn't before, and the teenage witches are suddenly not only able to
get the attention, praise and love they have long been denied-but also
to exact vengeance on classmates, parents and boyfriends. They learn,
however, that everything comes with consequences.
The Wicker Man. 1973. Paganism. Witchcraft. Occult. Christopher Lee. Britt Ekland
Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small
Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing
child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents'
frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the
temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland),
daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee).
The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders' strange practices,
the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.
A Magical Education. Talks on Magic and Occultism. John Michael Greer
I'm enjoying "A Magical Education" by John Michael Greer
An extraordinary exploration of the forgotten history of the esoteric and its unexpected possibilities in our time.
In
these talks, written and presented to a variety of audiences between
2001 and 2010, John Michael Greer explores the forgotten history of
occultism and its unexpected possibilities in our time.
From
practical methods of occult training to the politics and metapolitics
of magic, from the shadowy world of Victorian sex magic to the alchemy
of initiatory ritual, from the complex origins of modern Neopaganism to
the approaching twilight of Neopagan pop culture and what comes next,
the talks collected in this book seek to inspire curiosity and
reflection, not to set out an ironclad case for this or that point of
view.
This book is an extraordinary insight into the life and work of a working magician and occultist.
