“Smile of the Universe: Miracles in an Age of Disbelief” by Michael Grosso

Magick Matters

"Why Is the Universe Smiling? The word miracle is rooted in a Sanskrit syllable smi, from which we get the English word smile. So a miracle refers to a smile induced by certain sensations of awe, beauty, and wonder. Humans have always had extraordinary experiences, often called miracles. An account of reported miraculous phenomena, Smile of the Universe takes us beyond conventional religion and science to explore the outer reaches of human potential. Grounded in true stories and matters of fact, Michael Grosso argues for the reality of a great Mind and for the human ability to communicate with that Mind. In an age of disbelief, it presents a fact-based template for experimental spirituality and...>>

“The Mercury Formula: Three Steps to Self-Transformation” by J.R. Sedivy

Magick Matters

"Through the ages, diverse spiritual and mystic traditions have developed pathways to wisdom and inner power based on universal spiritual laws. These esoteric truths were historically kept as closely guarded secrets, accessible only to a select few initiates through lifetimes of disciplined study. Many of these concepts have recently become widely known and accepted in spiritual circles. However, outside of an established spiritual tradition many experience the path to spiritual power and purpose to be truly labyrinthine. The Mercury Formula reformulates the old mystery school wisdom into a concise, practical manual that not only explains the spiritual truths, but offers a clear and precise formula for intense and rapid personal discovery and transformation—ideal for those...>>

“Sight Beyond Sight: The Mythology, Methodology and Utility of the Higher Self” by Stephen James Wakefield

Magick Matters

"What is the Higher Self? It is many different things to many different people, and appears in forms throughout mythology, mysticism, magic, philosophy and psychology. The Higher Self as it is most commonly recognised is that ‘spark’ of otherness within us that connects us with all of existence and the Absolute or God from which we emanated. The Higher Self speaks to us of cosmic interconnectedness and the divine. It suggests the underlying unity of all creation, and to integrate it into our conscious life is to open up endless possibilities such as epiphany and spiritual insight, extra sensory perception in the form of precognition, visionary dreams and astral projection, as well as instances of...>>

Magick Matters

“Problems of the Borderland” by J. Herbert Slater (2016 edition)

Magick Matters

"The following pages contain a summary of some of the elementary teachings of a very ancient faith which, though not generally known, have nevertheless been preserved to us, to some extent at least, by the writings of mediæval and later adepts and by tradition. Though there is no real novelty in the groundwork of this résumé, the story it unfolds being as old as the hills, and older than some of them, it will nevertheless be new to nearly all who read it — all but a very few who, scattered about the world, have received it as part of their heritage. It is a sign of the times that some incidents in the story...>>
