“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.

“The Saga of the Volsungs: With the Saga of Ragnar Lothbrok” by Jackson Crawford (modern translation)

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."...>>

“The Poetic Edda: Stories of the Norse Gods and Heroes” by Jackson Crawford (modern translation)

Magick Matters

"The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a Modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological and literary importance, containing the lion's share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc. Jackson Crawford's modern versions of these poems are authoritative and fluent and often very gripping. With their individual headnotes and complementary general introduction, they supply today's readers with most of what they need to know in ...>>
