CONJURE
CODEX arises from the cauldron of winter to both stimulate the waking
mind and encourage its dreaming here on the cusp of Spring. The blue
issue is full to bursting with insights and revelations, presenting
us with sorceries and wisdom from a range of cultures and eras. As
before the quality and quantity of material is of astonishing
standard, so that some readers find it hard to believe there have
only been two previous issues. With that, welcome to the third!

A
HANDBOOK OF STELLAR MAGICK

FROM
THE PUBLISHER:
In
this book is a detailed exposition of arguably the single most
significant development in practical magic since the first
Elizabethan Age, namely, the synchronous employment of astrological
principles in the structuring and timing of magical ceremonies.
Astrologically
timed operations are concerned with the advantages to be gained by
ritualising harmonious aspects between the planetary deities. This
book reveals how this can be achieved with little more than a Tarot
pack and a current Ephemeris. Which aspects to look for, what planets
to invoke and how to get the timing right, are clearly explained in
the second of three sections, while the first part deals primarily
with the philosophical and theoretical foundation of the Stellar
Magickian together with the Initiation by the Supreme Ritual of the
Sun conjunct Venus (also known as "The Ordeal X"); the
third part comprises a set of planetary invocations and blessings.
Full descriptions of talisman making, Temple etiquette, planetary
feasts, what to do about the Burning Way, and the use of the Part of
Fortune, are also given.
The
application of astrology to the performance of ritual was pioneered
by James Lees and his group in the latter half of the 20th century as
part of their wider study of English Qaballa; however, the system of
Stellar Magick introduced here for the first time stands apart from
all else. This book is meant to be useful to experienced mages and to
first-time aspirants alike, and in furtherance of that intention a
variety of different personal records from the O.'.A.'.A.'. archive
have been included.
Cath
Thompson is an English Qaballist and Stellar Magickian of
thirty-seven years experience; in 1980 she was the youngest initiated
member of James Lees’ O.’.A.’.A.’.. Thompson is the archivist
of the group’s many-layered occult investigations, including their
pioneering research and development of the English Qaballa, which
Lees discovered in 1976, and the application of astrological
principles to ceremonial magick -- groundbreaking work to which she
has contributed in no small measure. She lives in Staffordshire with
no cats or dogs.

IMMATERIAL BOOK OF ST. CYPRIAN

Folk Necromancy in Transmission (Book 2)
Paperback:
140 pages

List
Price: $19.00
FROM
THE PUBLISHER:
The
Immaterial Book of St. Cyprian presents a collection of 31 newly
translated Portuguese legends about The Book of St. Cyprian. This
collection at once interrogates what is meant by tradition, and
experience with the book itself. The book as object comes under
scrutiny and the entire effect of the legends generates a sense of
what it means to have lived with and worked with the book in
Portugal, as the compiler and translator Leitão puts it, "framing
the experience of The Book of St. Cyprian as a concept beyond the
circumstantial words written in it." This text features facing
language translations from the Portuguese into English.

Verdant
Gnosis is a poetic rendering of the Latin expression, Viridis Genii,
which refers to the collective spiritual intelligence of our
botanical environment. Viridis means 'green, verdant, growing'--all
that is lush and nourishing; while genii is the origin of the words
'genius' and 'genie'--the spirit, daemon, or guiding intelligence of
an entity. Viridis Genii--the verdant gnosis--is thus the spiritual
path of working with the intelligence of living nature. Within this
third volume you will find a rich selection of international
authorities on the Green Way, ranging from professional plant
alchemists, shamanic herb-masters, to bioregional animists. Herein
you will learn the ways in which you can communicate deeply with the
mysterious intelligence of the plant kingdom, breaking down the
barriers of anthropocentric thinking that separate humanity from
nature. Volume three presents a thread of material focusing on
curses, roots, and the doctrine of signatures.
