“The Dream Universe: How Fundamental Physics Lost Its Way” by David Lindley

Magick Matters

"A vivid and captivating narrative about how modern science broke free of ancient philosophy, and how theoretical physics is returning to its unscientific roots In the early seventeenth century Galileo broke free from the hold of ancient Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy. He drastically changed the framework through which we view the natural world when he asserted that we should base our theory of reality on what we can observe rather than pure thought. In the process, he invented what we would come to call science. This set the stage for all the breakthroughs that followed—from Kepler to Newton to Einstein.

“Strange Intruders” by David Weatherly

Magick Matters

"From the gray area between realities, strange figures emerge. Djinn, shadow people, grinning men, pukwudgies, black eyed beings. These and many others have been encountered through the ages but their true agendas remain unclear. They appear unbound by our natural laws, and, in fact, seem to relish breaking the natural order of things as we understand it. In the wake of their intrusions, questions reamin. What are they? Why are they here? And will they return?"...>>

“The Witches’ Devil: Myth and Lore for Modern Cunning” by Roger J. Horne

"Distinct from the devil of Satanism and the devil of Christianity, the witches' Devil remains a potent figure in the lore of folk and traditional witches today.
