“Magick in Theory and Practice” by Aleister Crowley (1976 reprint of the original 1929 edition)

Magick Matters

"This is the foremost book on ceremonial magic written in the twentieth century, the summation of the thought and life practice of the century’s most famous necromancer and one of its most infamous figures. It was prepared by Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) specially for neophytes. Written at the height of his involvement, it is probably Crowley's best book. Although he draws on Buddhist, Egyptian, Tantric and Gnostic rituals and the teachings of Abramelin and other early magi, Crowley is primarily concerned with his own system of Magick. (He added the "k" to distinguish it from systems which have "attracted too many dilettanti, eccentrics, weaklings...") Crowley appears in his many aliases—Perdurabo, The Great Wild Beast 666, The...>>

“Magical Diaries of Aleister Crowley: Tunisia 1923” edited by Stephen Skinner

Magick Matters

"The complete diaries of Aleister Crowley cover his entire career in magic, from his initiation into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in 1898, to his death in 1947. These diaries record the development of Crowley's synthesis of traditional Western ritual magic with Eastern yoga, tantra and sexual magic—culminating in the creation of Crowley's "Thelemic Magick".

“The Lost Teachings of the Cathars: Their Beliefs and Practices” by Andrew Phillip Smith

Magick Matters

"A deep-dive into the history, culture, and legacy of the medieval Christian dualist movement, Catharism—as seen in popular novels by Dan Brown and Kate Mosse Centuries after the brutal slaughter of the Cathars by papally endorsed Northern French forces, and their suppression by the Inquisition, the medieval Cathars continue to exert a powerful influence on both popular culture and spiritual seekers. Yet few people know anything of the beliefs of the Cathars beyond vague notions that they believed in reincarnation, were vegetarians, were somehow Gnostic, and had some relation to Mary Magdalene. The Lost Teachings of the Cathars explores the history of this Christian dualist movement between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, offering a sympathetic...>>

Why use lavender in a ritual if it isn’t native to your surroundings or you simply don’t like it? This guide gives you the insight and tools to undomesticate your craft from formulaic—to inspired—practice. The Untamed Witch also outlines: ...>>
