“The Master of Speech” by Shannon Dorey

Magick Matters

"The Master of Speech deciphers the ancient mythology of the Dogon, an isolated African tribe who live along a 200-kilometre stretch of escarpment called the Cliffs of Bandiagara near Timbuktu. The French anthropologist Griaule recorded the Dogon mythology in 1947 in his book, Conversations with Ogotemmêli. The Dogon had knowledge of the triple star Sirius system that was told to Griaule long before modern astronomers discovered the third star in the system in 1995. The Dogon told Griaule they had obtained their knowledge from amphibious beings who came to Earth from the Sirius star system. After extensive analysis of this mythology, Dorey reveals that these alien beings called Nummo were responsible for human creation through...>>

Zan Fraser traces the evidence of reverence for horned animals from the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras in Europe into the pagan period, Middle Ages and Renaissance. From cave paintings to Cernunnos and Herne, to Oberon, Puck, and Robin Goodfellow, Fraser explores the pervasive cultural images of horned ones and the theory that the demonized Horned God became the medieval Christian Devil.

“A Briefe Historie of Wytches: As Told Through Examples of Burning Times Drama” by Zan Fraser

Magick Matters

"By the end of the Middle Ages, the popular image of the witch had undergone a reversal. Whereas once she had been admittedly wild and unruly, she had become unremittingly ghoulish, vampiric, cannibalistic and malevolent. This change in perception, wise-woman to evil hag, played an important part in determining the fates of women in Europe. Since the image of the witch is tied so intimately to women, the denigration of this powerful archetype adversely affected the role of females in Middle Ages society. How did this evolution, the transformation, occur? Classically trained actor Zan Fraser shows how the image of witches changed in Elizabethan Era witch plays. Because drama causes the past to live...>>
