“Beginning Mo Pai Nei Kung” by Shifu Lin (3rd expanded edition)

Magick Matters

"Since the documentary Ring of Fire and the books Magus of Java and Nei Kung, many have clamored to learn Mo Pai Nei Kung from a man who calls himself “John Chang.” This “John Chang” is not the name of the man they seek, but it is a name he uses because he does not want to be bothered by hundreds or thousands of people, who in most cases will not even show the discipline with which to start learning Nei Kung. This text will explain what you need to do in order to begin Mo Pai Nei Kung. If you accomplish this, then at the end of this text you will be told how to...>>

“Taoist Thunder Magic Traditions and Their Relationship to Nei Kung Meditation” by Shifu Lin

Magick Matters

"This work from Shifu Lin describes the scholarly theories about the origins of "Thunder Magic" Tao Jiao Lei Fa, as well as what Taoism itself says about the descent of the practice from the gods to human beings. While the book is not instructional in nature, it does discuss the foundational levels of Nei Kung of the Mo Pai tradition in relation to other well-known "Thunder Magic" paths, and how such inner cultivation became a necessary prerequisite to "power up" the Lei Fa practices, which otherwise, the Taoist sources on "Thunder Magic" tell us, will not produce results. Shifu Lin also argues compelling that in this regard, advanced Mo Pai is not so different from other...>>

“A Scientific Foundation Towards a Complete Theory of Qi, Nei Kung and Magic” by Fa-Shih Hern Heng

Magick Matters

"This work is the first of its kind. In many ways, I sincerely believe — as the author — that it is the best effort that will be put forth for some time in formulating a scientific foundation towards a complete theory of qi, meditation and quantification of how legendary siddhis of the most elevated masters of Nei Kung have exhibited. This book is not one about supernatural powers, nor of anything based any more on blind faith than the most cutting edge theories of Black Holes and Dark Matter and Dark Energy."...>>

“Dying in a Transhumanist and Posthuman Society” by Panagiotis Pentaris

Magick Matters

"Exploring both the intrapersonal (moral) and interpersonal (ethical) nature of death and dying in the context of their development (philosophical), Dying in a Transhumanist and Posthuman Society shows how death and dying have been and will continue to be governed in any given society. Drawing on transhumanism and discourses about posthumanity, life prolongation and digital life, the book analyses death, dying and grief via the governance of dying. It states that the bio-medical dimensions of our understanding of death and dying have predominated not only the discourses about death in society and the care of the dying, but their policy and practice as well. It seeks to provoke thinking beyond the benefits of technology and...>>

“God: An Anatomy” by Francesca Stavrakopoulou (2022 US edition)

Magick Matters

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers—with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous. The scholarship of theology and religion teaches us that the God of the Bible was without a body, only revealing himself in the Old Testament in words mysteriously uttered through his prophets, and in the New Testament in the body of Christ. The portrayal of God as corporeal and masculine is seen as merely metaphorical, figurative, or poetic. But, in this revelatory study, Francesca Stavrakopoulou presents a vividly corporeal image of God: a human-shaped deity who walks and talks and...>>
