“ALETHEIA — Your Compass through Times of Upheaval” by Katrin Klassen

Magick Matters

"Every man and every woman is a star. A beautiful thought, isn't it? This quote comes from Aleister Crowley, a rather controversial figure. But regardless of the person who coined it, I am convinced that this thought is not only poetic, but also deeply true. It is the core of our humanity. Colourful and intensely radiant. And humans carry this radiance into the world, into reality, because that is precisely their calling. But look around you — what do you see? Confusion, disorientation, anger, despair and pain everywhere. A life that hollows us out more than it fulfils us. How did it come to this? This book is intended as a map with an integrated compass.

“De Umbris Idearum: On the Shadows of Ideas” by Giordano Bruno (translated by Scott Gosnell)

Magick Matters

His work and life would lead him across the major centers of Renaissance Europe, to the patronage of kings and nobles, the scorn and envy of academics, and ultimately to his imprisonment and execution at the hands of the Roman Inquisition in 1600. Bruno’s works have been reprinted periodically since his death. The current edition is the...>>
