“Non-Linear Manifestations from Not-Mind” by Richard Dotts

Magick Matters

"What if you could take all the unmanifest desires in your life and turn them into non-linear intentions? In Non-Linear Manifestations, bestselling author and spiritual teacher Richard Dotts turns the conventional idea of linear, time-based manifestations on its head. In everyday language, Richard explains why the traditional notion of manifesting based on a fixed timeline, in which intentions precede manifestations, often leads to delays, frustrations, and endless disappointments for most people. The "goals before target" concept is helpful for our minds to understand the creation process. However, since manifestations occur beyond the mental realm of space and time, the fastest way to manifest is from a non-linear perspective. This means taking time out of the...>>

“The Deorhord: An Old English Bestiary” by Hana Videen

Magick Matters

"Many of the animals we encounter in everyday life, from the creatures in our fields to those in our fantasies, have remained the same since medieval times - but the words we use, and the ways we describe them, have often changed beyond recognition... Old English was spoken over a thousand years ago, when every animal was a deor. In this glittering Old English bestiary we find deors big and small, the ordinary and the extraordinary, the good, the bad and the downright baffling. From walker-weavers (spiders) and grey-cloaked ones (eagles) to moon-heads and teeth-tyrants (historians still don't know!), we discover a world both familiar and strange: where ants could be monsters and panthers could...>>

“The Wordhord: Daily Life in Old English” by Hana Videen

Magick Matters

"An entertaining and illuminating collection of weird, wonderful, and downright baffling words from the origins of English―and what they reveal about the lives of the earliest English speakers Old English is the language you think you know until you actually hear or see it. Unlike Shakespearean English or even Chaucer’s Middle English, Old English―the language of Beowulf―defies comprehension by untrained modern readers. Used throughout much of Britain more than a thousand years ago, it is rich with words that haven’t changed (like word), others that are unrecognizable (such as neorxnawang, or paradise), and some that are mystifying even in translation (gafol-fisc, or tax-fish). In this delightful book, Hana Videen gathers a glorious trove of these...>>
