| Magic
and the Western Mind: Ancient Knowledge and the Transformation of
Consciousness - $12.95 by Gareth Knight Paperback, 197 pgs, copyright 1991, First Llewellyn Edition. (Originally published as "A History of White Magic", A.R. Mowbray & Co., Ltd., Oxford, UK, 1978. |
From
the inside the cover page of the book: "At last in a clear and
intellectually reliable form you can learn about the deepest levels of
the history of the Western Magical Tradition. Magic is a technology of
the imagination - and once this is understood, not only in the
theoretical realm, but also once it is seen and demonstrated in the
historical context of actual practices and practitioners throughout the
history of the Western World, this technology becomes all the more
useable to the modern magician. This book is written by one of the world's leading authorities on practical magic and is therefore highly useful in its insights into the historical aspects of the tradition. At the same time, the author makes use of clear and precise methods of scholarship and has written a fine piece of authoritative history not only of certain ideas but also of the imagination."

| Magical
Images and the Magical Imagination - $9.95 by Gareth Knight Paperback, 88 pgs, copyright 1998, Sun Chalice Books. |
From
the back of the book: "The knowledge and use of magical images
as a means of self development was once a closely guarded secret of
initiates and adepts in the Mystery Schools. In this ground breaking new book, Gareth Knight gives easy-to-follow classifications of the various kinds of magical images, along with instructions for their use as agents of self realization and spiritual growth. Indispensable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, this book presents the theory and techniques of creative visualization and meditation. These practical teachings range from the circulation of force within the aura for the purpose of balancing the personality, to the development of a full magical system of "pathworking" enabling contact with unsuspected sources of inner wisdom and power." |

, An
Introduction to Cosmobiology-
Our price $2.00 (Originally
$7.00) by Reinhold Ebertin Paperback, 103 pgs, Black and white illustrations and photographs. Copyright 1973, Produced and printed by Ebertin-Verlag |
From
the preface: "The term cosmobiology designates those methods
applied to the study of the relationship between the cosmic rhythms and
life on earth. Experience has taught us the weather, climate, plant
growth, natural catastrophes, and the individuals life as well are
linked with the cosmic phenomena. Astrology, a science thousands of years old, has amassed a body of empirical knowledge, still of high value today, but which is also in need of critical attention. The particular aim of cosmobiological research is to honor the knowledge of the ancient world, but at the same time to survey with a critical eye the rules of traditional astrology and incorporate modern methods, such as statistics, in the investigation of cosmobiological relationships. The present book is intended as an introduction to one of the cosmobiological working methods, according to the author's conception of this science. Following a short history of cosmobiological concepts, the reader is made familiar with various methods of working and interpretation which have proved through their worth through the centuries. The author highly values clear, readable, exact and comparative representations and is therefore an advocate of graphic methods. May this book find friends all over the world." |

Mystique of Healing -
Our price $2.00, (Originally
$5.95) by Bob Bloomfield Paperback, 118 pgs, First American paperback, 1985, Samuel Weiser, Inc. |
From
the back of the book: "The Mystique of Healing is a book
that sets out to demystify the world of healing: What happens during a
healing? Who are the healers? Where does healing power come from? Do
healings and miracles really occur? Full of controversy- as might be
expected from a journalist who is also a healer-the book takes a very
practical down-to-earth look at the whole field of what is a strange yet
natural phenomenon. Bloomfield tells us that the power of healing is an
entirely natural phenomenon, not esoteric in any way, accessible to all.
"There can be, surely, only one true source of healing energy
regardless of what our religious or philosophical approaches may be.
Contents include techniques and methods of healing, dangers and
difficulties involved with healing, the healing organizations, the role
of the church in healing, healing and cancer, and some of the author's
own personal experiences. The author also includes a list of selected
titles on healing, and a selection of organizations and periodicals
associated with healing. The Mystique of Healing is a clear and
concise narrative sure to be of value both to laypeople and professional
health administrators." |

| Orders
of The Great Work: Alchemy - $12.95 by Manly P. Hall Hardcover, with dust jacket, 107 pages, black and white illustrations, Second printing, 1976, Philosophical Research Society, Inc. |
From
inside the dust jacket: "Orders of The Great Work: This book
gathers data dealing with the descent of the alchemistical schools of
Europe, from which we have derived so much of our knowledge of chemistry
and related sciences. The alchemists were not only chemists, but
educators, reformers of knowledge, and seekers after the spiritual laws
and principles which vitalize the arts and sciences of mankind. Here is set forth the origin of the concept of alchemy, its rise in Egypt as the secret doctrine of HERMES; its migration to Arabia and its relation to the early schools of Christianity. We meet many of the pioneers of research in this field, and follow the course of the alchemistical mystery from the Near East through the Byzantine Empire and into Europe. We learn how these truth seekers were forced to conceal their true objectives because of persecution and intolerance. We learn much of the origin of the Rosicrucians, and meet the phantom master of all knowledge - ELIAS THE ARTIST. We meet ROGER BACON, who was forced to conceal his wisdom in elaborate cryptograms and ciphers. We travel with RAYMOND LULLY to his cartyrdom on the shores of Tunis. Then there is the remarkable story of NICHOLAS FLAMEL, who discovered a mysterious book containing the wisdom of the ancient world. The letters of SENDIVOGIUS to the BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSY CROSS, which are almost completely unknown to the modern world, are discussed."

| Pilgrims
of the Night: Pathfinders of the Magical Way - $12.00 by Lars B. Lindholm Paperback, 222 pgs, black and white illustrations, copyright 1993, first edition, Llewellyn Publications. |
From
the back of the book: "The Western Magical Legacy: If you
are curious about the principal founders, societies, and schools of
thought within the Western esoteric tradition, Pilgrims of the Night
will give you a lively and exceptionally readable overview. Here, Lars
B. Lindholm presents a fresh and unprejudiced examination of the
evolution of magical theory and practice in Western culture. In an entertaining style, the author traces the history of magic from ancient to contemporary times. You will begin your magical journey in ancient Atlantis, Egypt and Greece, then move through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, where you'll meet colorful personalities such as Roger Bacon, Albertus Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, Henry Cornelius Agrippa, and John Dee. Uncover the mysteries behind the Rosicrucian phenomenon and be there for the birth of the Golden Dawn movement during the occult revival of the 19th century-where you'll encounter Eliphas Levi ("the last of the Magi"), Madame Blavatsky (founder of the Theosophical Society), and the most celebrated and notorious occult magician of modern times, Aleister Crowley. Finally, acquaint yourself with present day magical orders and phenomena, including chaos magic and the acolytes of H. P. Lovecraft's fictional scenarios. Pilgrims of the Night will enlighten students of the occult about how they are carrying on the legacies of those who went before them-and it offers a clear-eyed perspective of the Western esoteric tradition that will benefit anyone who wants to view the occult in a more holistic sense."
