"A comprehensive overview of the Western perennial tradition--the hermetic tradition and the ancient earth wisdom of shamanic indigenous peoples • Provides practical exercises to reawaken mystical awareness and reconnect with the ancient mystery traditions of our ancestors • Reveals how earth wisdom and high magic complement one another In Walkers Between the Worlds, the authors reveal the development of both these traditions that were never far beneath the surface of Western culture and how they complement each other.

“36 Faces: The History, Astrology and Magic of the Decans” by Austin Coppock

Magick Matters

"There is a thread that runs through over four millennia of astrological and magical history, a cord that binds ancient Egypt with the Hellenistic world, the Arabian empire, India, the European Renaissance and even touches the present. That thread is the Decans, a division of the earth’s sky into 36 sections. These 36 "Faces of Heaven" are more than just a curious footnote in the history of archaeo-astronomy.

However, people in both traditions did at times leave behind their long-honored rites to try something new. The Dawn of Christianity reveals why some people in Judea and then in the Roman and Greek worlds embraced a new approach to the forces and powers in their daily...>>
