Magick Matters

“Thunder Magic” by Jason Read

"For thousands of years in comparative isolation, the Chinese developed powerful systems of magic largely still unknown in the West. This series of books, perhaps for the first time in English, give a workable and practical introduction to Chinese magic and sorcery. In this book are the secrets of Thunder Magick, one of the most respected and feared of the many branches of Chinese sorcery. Thunder magic harnesses the yang forces of nature in a kind of yogic sadhana and use of spells and talismans. This compact volume shows you how. The mysteries of Chinese occultism have long been hidden from the West, largely due to the cultural and language barriers between us. Also because...>>

"I don’t know how to describe this book. If I say it’s ideal for beginners, I’ll be hit with incredulity: How can a book that teaches so many obscure yet specific, fully functional drills for generating the deepest experience of internal power, with the physical training process as well as energetic effects laid out in illustrated drill steps - all supported by precise, original translations of the relevant sections of the classical Tai Chi writings supplemented with texts by little known historical masters - possibly be considered a ‘beginner’ book? On the other hand, calling it ‘advanced’ belies my motivation in writing it, because this is exactly the book I wish I’d been issued...>>

“JUICE: Radical Taiji Energetics” by Scott Meredith

"JUICE Radical Taiji Energetics describes the entire process of generating maximal internal power (qi) through the slow motion martial art of Chinese Taijiquan (T'ai Chi Ch'uan). All aspects of cultivation and deployment of Taiji's spirit energy are described in accessible terms. This book explains that the great past Taiji masters were not pointing at mere physical structure or mechanical principles in their teachings. Rather, they have left us a legacy of ecstatic internal energy methods that are unwrapped, unraveled, and demystified in this book. The presentation is clear, engaging, and profound, and includes working solo, working with a partner, and mastering the Taiji sword. JUICE is an essential companion for anybody from the raw...>>
