This book fills a long-standing need in the literature of Voodoo. It is not another history or sociological study, but the author's personal account and how he came to the "religion" from outside. It includes fascinating stories with descriptions of the phenomena triggered by his Voodoo practice, divination techniques, spells and a method of self-initiation. You can't put the book down.
Divination is the art of extracting hidden meaning from the present by using supernatural tools, symbols, or oracles, as guidance for the future. The Zingari (Italian Gypsies) often used keen observation of physical characteristics to interpret possible future outcomes. Since time immemorial, human beings have tried to understand the forces of fate through a variety of imaginative and mystical means. Whether its reading tea leaves, using playing cards, dice, palmistry, or recognizing and interpreting omens, the history of fortune telling is a long one. The Zingari people loved the meadows, woods and flowers, and living far from the haunts of men. Thus, they got nearer to the heart of nature, and were better able to lift the veil from the future and learn a thousand secrets that the dwellers in cities could not know or understand. While the type of information discovered had different values, such as reading the weather was very important to farmers, sailors and others who depended on nature for their living. The love readings, while not related to life and death, were also important socially and emotionally. I have written down many things that are matters of personal knowledge, and besides these I have consulted numerous ancient manuscripts, and have also added certain deductions from modern sources so that you may enjoy and learn from The Zingara Art of Divination. -- Ana Caldaroni
New Falcon Publications has brought together some of the most talented, controversial, and rebellious writers of all time in REBELLION. Many such as William S. Burroughs, Timothy Leary, Aleister Crowley, Israel Regardie, and Jack Parsonsare world famous. Others such as James Wasserman, Lon Milo DuQuette, and Richard Kaczynskiare well-accomplished in their own fields. Still others are lesser-known, for now. But all contributors, in every article, in every aspect of their lives, has had but one focus: to bring freedom to their own worlds. In all of human history the essence of the independent mind has been the need to think and act according to standards from within, not without. To follow ones own path, not that of the status quo. Inevitably, anyone with an independent mind must become one who resists or opposes an authority or established conventionin other words, a Rebel. Usually rebellion takes place so quietly that no one notices. But when those in power recognize the disobedience, the REBEL becomes known as a DEVIL. Until, of course, enough people notice. Then a different stature may be achievedknown as GREATNESS. With contributions by Aleister Crowley, Israel Regardie, Osho Rajneesh, William S. Burroughs, Timothy Leary, Jack Parsons, James Wasserman, Richard Kaczynski, Dr. William S. Hyatt, Ph.D., and many others.
The Nymphomaniac is written in the style of Psycho-Mythology, a creative kind of union between fiction and psychological fact. In this literature an individuals fantasy transcends the personal level, reaching the collective unconscious. Spiegelman had used Jungs method of inner dialogue and Active Imagination for fourteen years, when one day there was a quantum jump for him, and as he put it: The work was no longer merely for my own enlightenment and development, but suddenly took on the possibility of social usefulness. We hope you enjoy the Small Gems Series of books by J. Marvin Spiegelman, Ph.D.
The proper working of ritual is at the heart of the Western magical tradition. In this book, an eminent contemporary occultist and a former member of the Hermetic Society of the Golden Dawn, shows exactly how ceremonial techniques can be used to concentrate and harness the enormous psychic and spiritual potential of human consciousness. Dr. Regardie s detailed analysis and description of key rituals are based on his own considerable experience and his knowledge of Golden Dawn techniques. In addition to providing practical instructions on robes, ritual equipment and decor, he also links current occult practice to broader historical precedents. The daily repetition of ritual brings about an enormous increase in psycho-spiritual sensitivity and provides essential preparation for the final act of initiation that state of spiritual enlightenment that is the goal of the true occultist.
The Treasure House of Images was composed by Captain, later Major General J. F. C. Fuller, one of Aleister Crowley''s most important disciples and a leading military theorist of the twentieth century. Fuller was the author of The Star in the West and a principal editor of The Equinox. The Treasure House of Images is an exquisite work containing hymns to the signs of the Zodiac and the Sun. In Crowley''s Confessions, he described it as some of the most remarkable prose ever written and an astonishing achievement in symbolism. This edition is enhanced by contributions from a number of modern magical writers including David Cherubim, whose introduction places the work in its historical context and discusses its symbolism and use as a manual of Pathworking. Nancy Wasserman offers expanded practical instructions for Astral Travel, and provides an example for designing an actual Pathworking. Lon Milo DuQuette''s foreword to this new edition places all this in context. Also included is Crowley''s masterpiece, Liber O vel Manus et Sagittae, in which specifics for developing the Body of Light are detailed.
This book, Attract and Use Healing Energy deals with not only physical healing, but healing every aspect of our lives. Dr. Regardie says it best: Within every man and woman is a force that directs and controls the entire course of life. Properly used, it can heal every affliction we have have. These are the methods by which the dynamic nature of the subconsious can be stimulated so that the human personality becomes transformed into a powerful magnet attracting to itself whatever it truly desires or is necessary to its welfare... Perhaps sickness is present. Or we need money. Or we have undesirable moral or mental traits or whatnot. We can elevate our minds by utilizing this energy, so that the desire of our heart automatically realizes itself with practically no effort at all...
The Philosopher s Stone presents text and analysis of three major alchemical works, approached symbolically, using the symbol systems and viewpoints of magic and psychology. The objective of alchemical study has been described poignantly by Dr. Israel Regardie. Like modern psychological methods, the alchemical formulae have as their goal the creation of a whole man, a fully integrated individual. Not only does alchemy envisage a person whose several constituents of consciousness are united, but with the characteristic thoroughness of all occult and magical methods, it proceeds a stage further. Alchemy aspires toward the development of a free and illuminated psyche. It is here that it parts company with orthodox psychology, and here that Dr. Regardie s insights shine. The clarity and elegance of the author s style, and the precision and depth of his thought, make The Philosopher s Stone an important and meaningful experience for every person who aspires to personal development and wholeness.

Join herb and his cast of interlocutors (which includes (the goddess) Sophia) as they investigate the way of the physical realm, the way of Mind, and in general, What is. Many timely issues confronting humans (and you k-now who you are) are teased about, including the underlying nature of that mysterious fluid type magical substance called electricity, the shaman Bostrom's simulation argument, and that most Dangerous of all undertakings whereupon the conspiracy of who Do you believe, issues associated with Being born into this world, ancient ideas associated with the Immortality of the soul, and the flexibility of time and the need for the divine are investigated ontologically. This Gnostic tour de force challenges today s trendy materialism by accepting the ontological necessity of other realm(s) besides the physical (implications in agreement with the quantum vacuum mechanisms of the modern physics). As an ontology of on What is is developed in detail, the machinations (and Hidden religion) of the cabal of maniac magicians (whom herb calls the sons of Beliel those sOb's) occasionally need take center stage, whereupon the sOb's dark magick of statecraft, usury, propaganda, and their Brain builders dream is criticized, and, most importantly, maybe, the difference between sorcery and theurgy is elucidated. Necessarily a book about the Computer, a book on Physics, a book on Mind, butt most aptly described as a freedom enchantment for those whom would be interested in light And life. (Sea, four example, the book dedication and oVerture, and then please begin your investigation, for indeed, every wo/man is a star).
