The practice of spirit conjuration has
thrived since humanity first experienced and sought to work with the
natural forces of the seen and unseen worlds. It remains to this day
as a living tradition among many modern cultures, while in others
conjuration has been equated with ‘the devil’s work’ or
sidelined into the realm of the incredulous, viewed with superstition
and disdain.
Misconceptions abound, in part because the reality of spirit conjuration is often as obscured as are the spirits themselves.
Misconceptions abound, in part because the reality of spirit conjuration is often as obscured as are the spirits themselves.
CONJURE CODEX breaks new ground in presenting inter-related material from a range of traditions, embracing ancient cultures, the grimoires, New World traditions and others; by publishing new translations and rare texts alongside accounts of work in these traditions, and elucidations of them. We invite contributions including new translations and analyses of operative systems of spirit magic from around the globe.
(Ed. note: Somewhere between editing
and layout the footnotes to Kim Huggen’s article Nefarious Occult
Dealings: necromancy, ghosts and spirit expeditions in the
Graeco-Roman, hoodoo and Vodou magical traditions were lost. They do
appear at the end of the document, but the accompanying numbers do
not! We have prepared an insert for those copies of Conjure Codex
that were affected by this error. For those of you who have already
purchased Conjure Codex, we’ve made them available as a pdf.)

FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
'Wiccecræft''
delves into the mysterious and predominantly hidden world of dark
ages England to discover the shamanic roots of modern Witchcraft.
Central to the journey is the reality of the Otherworld, a spiritual
realm of elves and daemons which our ancestors used to bring power to
their magic, healing and divination. Sinead explores this forgotten
past from her research with actual Anglo-Saxon magical manuscripts
such as the Lacnunga and Bald's Leechbook to present a work full of
information, rituals, meditations and exercises designed for Witches,
non-Witches, Wiccans and interested explorers who desire to re-awaken
an ancient shamanic magical consciousness within the modern world.
Presented over six chapters with introduction, bibliography and an
appendix detailing how to pronounce Old English for those who wish to
try.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Following a
successful career in classical music Sinead returned to University
six years ago gaining a first-class honours degree in philosophy from
the OU and is now studying part time for her master's in English.
This change of career marks the realisation and actualisation of a
long held passion for writing and Sinead had her first two page
colour article on Witchcraft as a modern lifestyle published in a UK
magazine in 2009. Further to this beginning Sinead has numerous
academic articles published on the web.

THE RESURRECTION
OF THE MEADOW
By Robin Artisson
, Lee Morgan (Illustrator)
Hardcover: 112
pages
Publisher:
Pendraig Publishing (June 21, 2010)
List Price: $22.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
"The
Resurrection of the Meadow" is described by the author as "A
Record of Thirteen Occult Formulas & Charms of Art with Purport &
A Sealing Conjuration & their many useful Sorcerous Permutations,
Writ & Gathered on Walpurgis Night 2010, For those Inquisitive
Adepts who walk The despised path of True Sorcery, The long-dimmed
radiance of the Ancient Gold of the Wise."
Found within this
full, self-contained working grimoire is a system of sorcery relying
on the ancient spiritual aesthetic of the Faery-Faith and the
Metaphysics of Elfhame- interaction with the Unseen world through the
vehicle of the spirit-forms or the fetch-bodies of non-human persons
that are merged with the land around us.
Steeped in
folklore and a much older form of deep ecology, it is a powerful work
of Art for the discerning occultist.
The grimoire
contains, among other things, full instructions for sealing and
protecting the "Meadow" or sanctified outdoors locations,
the "Feery Feast", the manifesting of the powerful "Weird
of the Cairn", the creation of sacred interaction-points with
the "Convocation of the Meadow" or Land-spirits, various
Crossings, arboreal workings for harvesting and gathering sorcerous
components from tree and plant weirds, charms of increase and
fertility, and the creation of the fearful "White Mommet"
for works of sympathetic magic. Also included are detailed
instructions for creating "sorcerous concentration" or
opening the "Senses of Luminosity", and the use of the
"Nine Doors Under the Hill" charm for projecting the
personal fetch-body into the Unseen.
