“Karma: Why Everything You Know About It Is Wrong” by Acharya Prashant

Magick Matters

"The meaning of Karma stands distorted by centuries of misplaced fictionalization. Karma remains a disquieting enigma to the few who refuse to accept compromised notions. This book is for them. If to live rightly is to act rightly, what then is right action? This has tormented us since ages. The scriptures answer this, but without stooping from their cryptic heights. Nor do they advise how their ancient words apply to the present. Acharya Prashant's work provides the missing link. He imparts clarity, leaving nothing to conjecture or belief. The book demolishes the myths surrounding action and decision by bringing to focus the actor, rather than action. When we ask, 'What to do?', the book handholds us...>>

“Cunning” by Don Herzog

Magick Matters

"Want to be cunning? You might wish you were more clever, more flexible, able to cut a few corners without getting caught, to dive now and again into iniquity and surface clutching a prize. You might want to roll your eyes at those slaves of duty who play by the rules. Or you might think there's something sleazy about that stance, even if it does seem to pay off. Does that make you a chump? With pointedly mischievous prose, Don Herzog explores what's alluring and what's revolting in cunning. He draws on a colorful range of sources: tales of Odysseus; texts from Machiavelli; pamphlets from early modern England; salesmen's newsletters; Christian apologetics; plays; sermons; philosophical...>>

“Alchemy: The Art of Transformation” by Jay Ramsay

Magick Matters

"Alchemy is best known as the age-old science of turning base metal into gold. But it is much more: essentially, it is a path of self-knowledge, unique in the Western tradition, with vital relevance for the modern world. The symbols of Alchemy lie deep in the collective unconscious, in the world of dreams and imagery: the practices of alchemy are rooted in an understanding of the oneness of spirit and matter through which we celebrate our sexuality and spirituality. Jay Ramsay takes us step by step through the stages of the alchemical process using a wide range of original exercises to create a memorable journey that challenges, inspires and transforms us at every stage. We...>>

“Hymns for the Gods From Olympus to Asgard: Prayers in the Orphic and Eddic Traditions” by Heliotroph Books

Magick Matters

"Zeus! The First and Last and Lord Of bright-tipped lighting, Zeus the Head and Center, all things Come to be from Zeus' mind. Jupiter. Odin. Freya. What did ancient pagan peoples really see when they looked to these Gods in worship? Were they really only personifications of the wind and rain and other natural phenomena, or is there something deeper being called upon? Our ancestors left behind a rich tapestry of mythology and religious imagery. By approaching it with reverence and curiosity, and by applying the analytical techniques of Platonic and Vedantic philosophy, we can once again gain a clear picture of what the cosmos really is and who we really are. If we are humble enough to accept the...>>
