“Healing Light of the Tao: Foundational Practices to Awaken Chi Energy” by Mantak Chia

Magick Matters

"In 1983, Mantak Chia introduced the “Microcosmic Orbit” to the West. Prior to that time, most of the Eastern energy practices transmitted to the West were incomplete, dealing only with the ascending yang/masculine channel, which shoots life-force energy up the spine. The Microcosmic Orbit showed practitioners how to establish the descending yin/feminine channel of the life-force energy loop. Within Taoist systems, cultivating feminine energy has always been seen as the key to gaining balance and wholeness. Healing Light of the Tao presents the more advanced methods of chi cultivation in the Microcosmic Orbit, offering a full understanding of Taoist spiritual theory through its comprehensive overview of the complete Taoist body/mind/spirit system. The book also includes...>>

“The Kabbalah Tree: A Journey of Balance & Growth: A Journey of Balance and Growth” by Rachel Pollack

Magick Matters

"Kabbalah's most famous symbol, the Tree of Life, has become the organizing principle behind our human efforts to understand the world. Using Hermann Haindl's lush depiction of the Tree of Life, Rachel Pollack examines the message behind this ancient symbol. She takes a non-denominational approach - drawing upon unusual sources such as tribal and shamanic traditions, modern science, contemporary Kabbalists, tarot interpreters, and a comic book writer - to explore the Tree's meaning. Along the way, we learn more about Kabbalah's history, texts, mystical concepts, and why this esoteric tradition has sprung up again in the twenty-first century. "...>>

“The Angenomicon: A Grimoire of Angel Magic” by Travis McHenry (The Angel-Evoking Tarot companion booklet)

Magick Matters

"The Angenomicon (From the French ange meaning “angel” and the Greek nomios meaning “law.”) contains the collected information gleaned from five grimoires of angel magic. To my knowledge, it is the single most complete source for angelic magic that has ever been written in the English language. In November 2018, I traveled to Paris, France, where I successfully passed a three-part screening interview (in French) and was granted access to never-before-published occult books of angel magic from the 1600s and 1700s. These books are so old and rare, they don't even have listed authors and were written entirely in Latin and French. In addition to the three unpublished grimoires, I also utilized the...>>

Magick Matters

"From the translator of the bestselling Poetic Edda (Hackett, 2015) comes a gripping new rendering of two of the greatest sagas of Old Norse literature. Together the two sagas recount the story of seven generations of a single legendary heroic family and comprise our best source of traditional lore about its members—including, among others, the dragon-slayer Sigurd, Brynhild the Valkyrie, and the Viking chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok."...>>
