“Divination and Prophecy in the Ancient Greek World” edited by Roger D. Woodard

Magick Matters

"This volume examines the phenomena of ancient Greek prophecy and divination. With contributions from a distinguished, international cast of scholars, it offers fresh perspectives and interpretations of key aspects of these practices. Considering issues such as comparativism, ethnography, cognitive function, orality, and intertextuality, the volume demonstrates their relevance to the elucidation of Greek prophetic practices. The volume also shows how multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches can be applied to a range of topics, from an examination of the very inception of Greek divination, explored within the frame of more archaic cult ideas, through emic elaboration of divinatory practice in Archaic and Classical periods, to consideration of intentional manipulation of prophecy, as depicted in Hellenistic and...>>

“Breathing Embodiment: A Study of Middendorf Breathwork” by John Donald Howard

Magick Matters

"Knowledge derived from direct experiences of breathing, sensing, moving, and touching is traditionally held to have no authoritative moral or intellectual significance. Such an approach devalues embodied human experience and narrows the field of rationality. This book challenges that traditional view, arguing that it at the root of many of the crises that we face today. It takes as a starting point an experiential breath awareness practice based on sensing subtle bodily movements that occur with breath as it is allowed to come and go on its own. While describing this minute awareness practice the book evokes the relation of that activity to larger issues posed by social thinkers, psychologists, and cross-cultural theorists. It...>>
