Magick Matters

"Ṣadr al-Dīn Qūnawī’s The Key to the Unseen: A Guide Book to Sufi Metaphysics offers the first systematic articulation of Ibn ʿArabī’s revolutionary teachings, presenting one of the most significant works of Islamic spirituality and a cornerstone of Sufi metaphysics through the profound synthesis of his foremost disciple, Ṣadr al-Dīn Qūnawī.

“The Rose of the World” by Daniel Andreev (translated by Jordan Roberts)

Magick Matters

"Completed in 1959, hidden from the Soviet secret police for twenty years, The Rose of the World was first made public through excerpts in the magazine Novy Mir in 1989. The Rose of the World is a unique and poetic cosmological treatise, passionately written out of personal spiritual experience. It offers a prophetic call for the spiritual reunification of all people and an open and harmonious relationship among the great world religions. For Daniel Andreev, The Rose of the World is a spiritual flower whose roots are in heaven; each petal is a unique image of the great world religions and cultures, and the whole flower is their joint co-creation with God. Lindisfarne Books is ...>>

“Gerald Gardner and the Creation of Wicca” by John Callow

Magick Matters

"Gerald Gardner (1884–1964) provided the central inspiration for Wicca, as a modern, revived, form of Pagan witchcraft. As such, his cultural and religious significance has grown exponentially over the 60 years since his death. "A Rough Magic" re-evaluates the sources of Gardner's inspiration, redefines his early life within the context of colonial Malaya and the opium trade, and emphasises his vision and ability in fashioning an entirely new synthesis of magical beliefs drawn from both Eastern and Western traditions. In so doing, he stripped away the demonic elements of witchcraft and emphasised Wicca as a creative, mutable and undogmatic nature religion, serving as both fertility cult and a unique source of personal empowerment, that was ...>>

“Ouroboros: A Grimoire” by Ray Sherwin

Magick Matters

"Ray's Book of Results (1978) was the first book dedicated to the magical technique of sigilisation. His Theatre of Magick (1982) makes the first mention of Chaos as a new approach to occultism. Then came The Cardinal Rites of Chaos (as Paula Pagani), 1986 and The Singing Tadpole (An invitation from Chaos) as Thessalonius Loyola in 1987. The books Aromatic Oils and VITRIOL followed, punctuated by the albums of music Best Before the end of the World and Music by Mirrors, co-written with Nigel Mullaney. Ouroboros is another exploration, one in which the reader is invited to stroll "the avenues of improbability" and to navigate the inner landscapes which inspire and enable a sourcery ...>>

“Vitriol: A Very Chaotic Scrapbook” by Ray Sherwin

Magick Matters

"Vitriol is the autobiography of musician and magician Ray Sherwin. It highlights the deceptions used to control the people of the world by governments, banks, religions and organised pharma. Sherwin provides for the first time a history of the early days of Chaos Magick and the Illuminates of Thanateros. He does this as an outsider in the same way that he discredits all organised religion and, in particular, the religious bias which allowed Europeans to invade Palestine and to perpetrate genocide there. He shows, with the help of statistics, how vaccination is a scam, a method for the ruling elite to dumb down and reduce the population. Sherwin sees The Old Religion as the ...>>
