“Berserkers, Cannibals & Shamans: Essays in Dissident Anthropology” by Stone Age Herbalist

Magick Matters

"Good anthropology should frighten and disturb. How many children are ritually sacrificed in Uganda each year? Why does China have such a long history of cannibalism? Do modern soldiers still go berserk like the Vikings of old? In this essay collection, Stone Age Herbalist ranges across a number of uncomfortable topics, from Mongolian eco-fascists to contemporary child witchcraft murders in Britain, the philosophy of Aztec violence and the biological impacts of famines on populations. The vision of the world he presents breaks sharply with the comfortable scholarly consensus on human nature and summons up forgotten truths now buried by modernity. Human life is far more dark and vital, more marked with hostility, expansion and heroism ...>>

“The Undefeated Mind: On the Science of Constructing an Indestructible Self” by Alex Lickerman

Magick Matters

"Legions of self-help authors rightly urge personal development as the key to happiness, but they typically fail to focus on its most important objective: hardiness. Though that which doesn't kill us can make us stronger, as Nietzsche tells us, few authors today offer any insight into just how to springboard from adversity to strength. It doesn't just happen automatically; it takes practice. New scientific research suggests that resilience isn't something with which only a fortunate few of us have been born, but rather something we can all take specific action to develop. To build strength out of adversity, we need a catalyst. What we need, according to Dr. Alex Lickerman, is wisdom—wisdom that adversity has ...>>

“How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: A Handbook for Personal Liberty” by Harry Browne (25th Anniversary edition)

Magick Matters

"Harry Browne believed that a person’s happiness is the highest goal he or she can achieve in life. Freedom comes from living your life as you see fit. Happiness and freedom are attainable even if others remain unfree, and it’s never too late to change your life. "If you’re not free now, it might be because you’ve been preoccupied with people or institutions that have restrained your freedom. I don’t expect you to stop worrying about them, merely because I suggest that you do. I do hope to show you, though, that those people and institutions are relatively powerless to stop you - once you decide how you will achieve your freedom. There are things ...>>

“The Mythic Journey: Use Myths, Fairy Tales, and Folklore to Explain Life’s Mysteries” by Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke

Magick Matters

"Greek gods, Norse heroes, Polynesian tricksters, and Native American warriors—they all have lessons to teach us. Since the beginning of time, human beings have relied on myths, fairy tales, and fables to explain life’s mysteries. Bringing a fresh perspective to these age-old tales, Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke reveal how seekers today can find comfort and support in the legends and lore of the past. The Mythic Journey explores the psychological themes of many mythical traditions, recounting stories from Greco-Roman, Hebraic, Egyptian, Celtic, Norse, and various Eastern civilizations. More than 50 myths are beautifully retold, and each is followed by a psychological overview explaining how we can apply the story to our own lives. The ...>>
