Magick Matters

“The Amber Witch” by Wilhelm Meinhold

"Johannes Wilhelm Meinhold pretended that The Amber Witch, a great favorite of the Pre-Raphaelites, was the true story of a seventeenth-century minister’s daughter falsely accused of witchcraft. Meinhold claimed he found the minister’s manuscript in the refuse of an old church. When the book received critical attention, Meinhold admitted to the hoax, but audiences didn’t believe him at first. Oscar Wilde described this as "Favorite romantic reading when a boy." And, horror fans may understand why it was a Wilde favorite. Set in the Thirty Years War in what is now Germany, The Amber Witch claims to be a clergyman's manuscript found in an old church. It tells the tale of Maria Schweider, a clergyman's...>>

“The Theory Of Celestial Influence: Man, The Universe, and Cosmic Mystery” by Rodney Collin

"Originally published in 1954, The Theory of Celestial Influence is an exploration of the universe and man’s place in it. Drawing extensively on the teachings of Russian mathematician and esotericist P. D.

"Many researchers associate certain phenomena with episodes of high strangeness. They speak of a curious feeling that comes over the experiencer, an odd silence that falls over the area where the incident occurs and a sense of dislocation from time.

Ranging from cryptids to UFOs to ghosts to mysterious disappearances, Mysteries in the Mist looks at tales of high strangeness and their repeated association with mist, fog and clouds. In these pages, the reader will also encounter strange mists that seem to have an anti-gravity effect, missing time associated with fog encounters and even teleportation of persons...>>

“Crypto Magick: The Occult Power of Blockchain” by Lorne Cross

"As magicians, we already know the power of numbers. With the advent of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology everything is built for you once you learn the language and mechanics of the paradigm. Now the symbol of a coin or token is a sigil. The blockchain is an astral plane or the World Tree or the runescript of reality. The acts of buying, selling, and trading become spellcasting when you empower such actions with desire and your magical will. Currencies can become gods or egregores with which you can interact, through meditation or simple transactional activity. Your digital wallet becomes a personal altar and the public digital exchanges become a variety of sacred temples. If you are...>>
