“Liber Noctis: A Handbook of the Sorcerous Arte” by Gary St. M. Nottingham (Foundations of Practical Sorcery 1)

Magick Matters

"Liber Noctis is a practical and experiential handbook of the sorcerous arte by English alchemist and sorceror Gary Nottingham. It explores the attitudes, training and preparation required for success in ritual, and as the title suggests, does not shy away from the ‘darker’ aspects of magic. Essential components of successful ritual such as the construction and empowering of magical tools, the hallowing of the compass points, protection, ritual timing and use of divination are all covered in depth, along with the use of plants through elemental condensers and the creation of magical servants. The benefits of planetary energies, and their use in sigils, together with the fixed stars and Psalms, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of...>>

“The Great Purple Hoo-Ha” by Philip H. Farber (Part 1)

Magick Matters

"Joe had a drinking problem. The possible demise of his television talk show and the end of his career had tilted a very big bottle of Old Mystery into his guts. Now he was having trouble telling where the hallucinations ended and reality began. Had the mysterious young man with the cat - whom nobody else could see - really granted him a magical wish for fame and fortune? Were the sex-obsessed cultists he was investigating on the show really bringing on the End of the World? Where did the sentient cream-filled pastries come from? Who was the Most Disgusting Rock Star Ever? And, more importantly, would Joe ever get his new girlfriend, the...>>

“The Book of Exhilaration and Mastery” by Philip H. Farber

Magick Matters

"There is much more to life than simply working and dying. Most of us grow up and grow old without ever understanding that we have formed our existence based on the ideas of others and that there may be something else, something beyond cultural expectations and the roles that have been given to us by our families and society. Every single one of us has the potential for exhilaration and mastery. Every human being on this planet has the ability to rise above our current self concept. The secret, again, is a simple one that has been stated again and again, hidden in plain sight in the philosophies of every society that has existed on Planet...>>

“Meta-Magick: The Book of ATEM: Achieving New States of Consciousness Through NLP, Neuroscience and Ritual” by Philip H. Farber (ebook version)

Magick Matters

"In Meta-Magick: The Book of Atem, Philip H. Farber combines traditional ritual sensibilities with contemporary concepts of neurolinguistics and memetics to create a unique entity - Atem. In this instance, the essence of an entity is encoded in a book and activated by the reader. At the same time, the book is a comprehensive manual of evocation, containing dozens of easy-to-follow rituals and exercises for exploring and creating magical entities of every sort. Farber teaches readers to wake up from their habitual trance, to reprogram themselves to stand in the Mystery without unnecessary mystification. This supercharged fusion of tried-and-true magical and psychological techniques moves beyond trauma, healing, and recovery into self-fulfillment and self-transformation. Combining...>>

“FUTURERITUAL: Magick for the 21st Century” by Philip H. Farber (ebook version)

Magick Matters

"First published in 1995, this unique text on Thelemic magick has been out of print for years! FUTURERITUAL: Magick for the 21st Century was one of the first modern introductory books to Thelemic magick, and also one of the first (perhaps THE first) to incorporate Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) into magical ritual. Through a series of rituals, exercises and meditations, FUTURERITUAL guides the reader into a program designed to develop True Will, knowledge of the unique purpose and direction of the individual through the universe. It offered a new perspective on familiar rituals such as the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, easy-to-follow guidance into more complex pentagram and hexagram rituals, and brand new rituals designed...>>
