“The Occult Basis of ASMR: Second Edition” by Tarl Warwick

Magick Matters

"The phenomenon known as ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, is one of the more interesting concepts to emerge in the modern era. Often seen as interesting and relaxing but lacking a deeper spiritual basis, ASMR can be construed as relating not only to Eastern mystic traditions but also some aspects of philosophical western Occultism.The similarity of the phenomenon to the infamous Serpent Fire of the East, as well as aspects of sex magick and psychotropic manipulation warrants its inclusion within the lexicon of the mystic world. And thus, this tract has been written, for the similarities are not few, but vast."...>>

“Skinwalkers Shapeshifters and Native American Curses” by Gary Swanson and Wendy Swanson

Magick Matters

"The almost unknown world of the murderous Skinwalker has never been so fully exposed before this book. The terrible ability of this creature to morph between man and animal with its shapeshifting ability creates an evil and dangerous entity that defies all reason! Being that it still lives among our Native American population after centuries of relatively few documented incidents attests to the frightening power it possesses.

Some people claim to have relationships with things like a divine creator, things that don't seem to exist, but they seem to be all the better for it.

What's the difference? As psychoanalyst CG Jung once wrote, “This is the...>>

“The Invention of Satanism” by Asbjorn Dyrendal, James R. Lewis, Jesper Aa. Petersen

Magick Matters

"Satanism is a complex phenomenon that has often been the source of controversy across social and rhetorical contexts. Some consider it the root of all evil. Others see it as a childish form of rebellion or as a misapplication of serious esoteric beliefs and practices. Still others consider it a specific religion or philosophy that serves as a form of personal and collective identity. In The Invention of Satanism, three experts explore Satanism as a contemporary movement that is in continuous dialogue with popular culture, and which provides a breeding ground for other new religious movements. By shifting the focus from mythology to meaning-making, this book examines the invention of Satanism among self-declared religious Satanists....>>
