“Creating the Soul Body: The Sacred Science of Immortality” by Robert E. Cox

Magick Matters

"Ancient peoples the world over understood that individual consciousness is rooted in a universal field of consciousness and is therefore eternal, surviving the passing of the physical body. They engaged in spiritual practices to make that transition maximally auspicious. These practices can be described as a kind of alchemy, in which base elements are discarded and higher levels of consciousness are realized. The result is the creation of a vehicle, a soul body, that carries consciousness beyond physical death. These spiritual preparations are symbolized in the Vedic, Egyptian, and Hebraic traditions as a divine stairway or ladder, a step-by-step path of ascent in which the practitioner raises consciousness by degrees until it comes to rest...>>

“The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts: A Riveting Investigation Into Channeling and Spirit Guides” by Joe Fisher

Magick Matters

"Mediumship dates back to the Greek Oracles and beyond, but millennia later nobody yet knows for certain what transpires when a medium enters a deep trance. Today, the practice of channeling spirit guides through hypnotized mediums is hotly debated. This strange phenomenon is either dismissed as a dubious parlor trick, or regarded as a form of communication between this world and the next. Many view "the guides" as a source of love and wisdom, but are they? For five years, Joe Fisher painstakingly investigated the claims of channelers and the mysterious voices that speak through them. The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts is his gripping journey into a realm of darkness and deception. Joe Fisher, 53,...>>

“At the Bottom of the Garden: A Dark History of Fairies, Hobgoblins, Nymphs, and Other Troublesome Things” by Diane Purkiss

Magick Matters

"At the Bottom of the Garden is a history of fairies from the ancient world to the present. Steeped in folklore and fantasy, it is a rich and diverse account of the part that fairies and fairy stories have played in culture and society. The pretty pastel world of gauzy-winged things who grant wishes and make dreams come true—as brought to you by Disney's fairies flitting across a woodland glade, or Tinkerbell’s magic wand—is predated by a darker, denser world of gorgons, goblins, and gellos; the ancient antecedents of Shakespeare's mischievous Puck or J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. For, as Diane Purkiss explains in this engrossing history, ancient fairies were born of fear: fear of the...>>

“Cosmic Witch: Magic, Witchcraft, and the Supernatural” by Susan Demeter

Magick Matters

"Merry Meet! I am a witch who lives in a small mountain village in Italy, and witchcraft and magic are a daily part of my life. It has been a strange, wondrous, sometimes terrifying, and painful journey that brought me here from Canada, where I was born. When I first arrived in Italy, I had the opportunity to visit an archaeological site that was sacred to the indigenous pagans in the area. Alone, I thought this would be a great time to do some shamanic work and try to connect with any of the local spirits who might be around. Not only was I given the gift of many new insights, but I had...>>

“Mission of the Jews: High Antiquity of Judeo‑Christian Legacy” by Alexandre Saint-Yves d’Alveydre

Magick Matters

“One of the main purposes of this book is to prove that Judeo-Christian intellectual and social esoterism is rightly the continuation, the fulfillment, of the whole antique theosophical tradition, of which the two Testaments have made us inheritors.” “More than 8,000 years before Christ, existed a Universal Social State, coordinated within itself by a whole hierarchical series of arbitral institutions.” “Now, once one holds this secret Thread of History, it is no longer permissible to misunderstand the fact that Savant Religion was everywhere the safeguard of Science, of good social organization and of public liberties.” (* In the past “Religion” meant 1-Spiritual endowment of individuals and societies 2-Clear Consciousness of ONENESS, Union of Creative Divinity and Living...>>
