NEW BOOKS
EVOKING ETERNITY
by EA KOETTING
Evoking Eternity by EA Koetting
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Once the twin giants of fear and doubt are slain, evocation is seen to be a remarkably simple tool to use. And once that discovery is made, it becomes clear that it is not a tool of man, but it is the tool of the Gods, and its power without fail will unlock and open the doors to their palace. - Evoking Eternity
The ability to summon forth to visible and physical materialization is perhaps the most potent and sought-after power in the entire occult world. For the thousands of years that ritual evocation has been practiced, however, it has also been confused and jumbled by assumptions, dogmas, and initiatory secrets all of which are obliterated by Evoking Eternity.
E.A. Koetting, in this masterpiece work, gives in the first five chapters the elementary principles by which evocation operations, instructions for the necessary preparation of the Operator to call forth and communicate face-to-face with any entity in existence, and the totality of the information and guidance that is needed to open the gateways between the worlds and facilitate the materialization of the spirits. Once the ability to evoke in such a manner is developed, however, and once those gates are opened, the Operator will have access to secrets that have been protected for millennia by death, murder, and even war. Even within the forbidden there exist taboos which remain in place to protect the human race from itself, to keep an uncontrollable force from being unleashed into this realm, and to keep man from overthrowing the balance of existence altogether.
The remaining six chapters uncover these secrets in their absolute nakedness, divulging the methods by which the Operator can safely and surely rise above the ancient admonitions of the Masters and take for himself all of the power and glory that he desires. Evoking Eternity teaches the formulas and gives the signs for evocation of entities which will quicken the Evocators Ascent into godhood, for the summoning of multiple entities for the achievement of a single goal, for the calling forth of legions of spirits into materialization, as well as careful and solid directions for evocation without the use of ritual implements, without the protective walls between flesh and spirit, and without inhibitions to power. Finally, Evoking Eternity reveals the secret of successfully summoning forth entities whose power is so great that the earth beneath them has crumbled at their presence, whose emanations of spiritual light have driven the world into war, who should not be called forth here into bodies of dust, but who can be.
Evoking Eternity is not the Sorcerers handbook nor is it a simple grimoire of spirits. Rather, it is a compendium of the impossible, made real by beings who are unbound and hungry, materialized now by the grand evocation of the Masters who will no longer wait for this veil to be lifted.
First edition of 500 copies. Hardbound in black cloth, 200 pages. Octavo (234x156 mm) Front & backcover and spine blocked with silver foil. Please call the store (206-726-1999) for pricing and availability.

You shall find Her, trampling and devastating under the wrathful traits of Kali. You shall discover Her, guarding a silent tomb for aeons with steady patience for daring Mortals to come and greet Her as Queen Hecate. You shall find Her moving sensually, whoring Herself and roaming the Earth, mourning the Sins of Humanity, bearing the weight on Her shoulders, as most curses Her name; Lilith. Or you shall finally taste partial fragments of Her undeniable Wisdom, once Sophia shall embrace you. And from places unseen, a painful bliss shall empower your mind; and either you will crumble etherially only to be reborn anew, bearing the unignited Black Flame inside of you, or you will simply perish at its mere sight. It is up to you.
- G.McCaughry

HOMAGE TO PAN: THE LIFE, ART AND SEX MAGICK OF ROSALEEN NORTON
by Nevill Drury
Paperback: 256 pages
Publisher: Creation Oneiros (November 30, 2009)
List Price: $24.95
BOOK BLURB:
Rosaleen Norton achieved notoriety in 1950s Australia as a controversial pagan worshipper and artist who performed mysterious occult rituals in her secret Kings Cross coven and paid homage to the ancient Greek god, Pan. Norton's provocative visionary artworks soon plunged her into legal controversy, and she was widely criticised in the media for engaging in bizarre sexual practices with her lover, the poet Gavin Greenlees.
Norton was also associated with the scandal that eventually engulfed the professional career of renowned musical conductor and composer, Eugene Goossens, who had arrived in Australia in 1947 and became a member of Norton s magical coven six years later. What has been little understood until now is that although Norton dedicated her magical practice to the Great God Pan and to a lesser extent Hecate, Lilith and Lucifer, she had many other occult and metaphysical interests that influenced her cosmology and world-view. Norton was intrigued by the visionary potential of Kundalini yoga and out-of-the-body trance-exploration as well as Aleister Crowley's Thelemic sex magick, and combined all of these elements in her ritual activities. Similarly fascinated by Crowley's approach to sexuality, Goossens proved to be a significant ally, offering to instruct Norton in the Goetia and reinforcing her Thelemic tendencies.
HOMAGE TO PAN is an authoritative and fully-illustrated overview of Norton s life and metaphysical beliefs which provides a detailed insight into her pursuit of sex-magic and visionary art, and identifies her as a key practitioner of the Left Hand Path.
HOMAGE TO PAN also provides, for the first time, a detailed comparison between Norton s visionary art and that of the acclaimed trance magician, Austin Osman Spare her influential British counterpart.
HOMAGE TO PAN is a book on magickal systems in the same vein as PORTABLE DARKNESS. It is also a fascinating biography of a real-life "witch" and proto-feminist, and it is also an illuminating book on esoteric art.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Nevill Drury is well known internationally for his publications on the Western magical tradition, shamanism and visionary art. His books have been released in 24 countries and published in 18 languages. His most recent publications include The Dictionary of Magic; The New Age: the History of a Movement; and Magic and Witchcraft: from Shamanism to the Technopagans.

MODERN WICCA:
A HISTORY FROM GERALD GARDNER TO THE PRESENT
by Michael Howard
List Price: $19.95
Paperback: 360 pages
Publisher: Llewellyn Publications; 1 edition (January 1, 2010)
BOOK BLURB:
An insider's look at the history of Witchcraft.
The evolution of Wicca is as dynamic and colorful as the Witches who helped shape it. One of the most enigmatic and progressive practitioners of his time, Gerald Gardner was arguably the most instrumental Witch in spreading the Craft around the world.
Drawing on his decades of personal involvement with Wicca, Michael Howard offers an intimate portrait of Gerald Gardner's life and traces the history and development of modern neo-pagan Witchcraft. Howard reveals little-known facts and stories surrounding the men and women who shaped Wicca over the past sixty years, including Aleister Crowley, Alex Sanders, and influential initiates such as Doreen Valiente.
From the Museum of Magic and Witchcraft on the Isle of Man to the origins of the Book of Shadows, Modern Wicca tracks the expansion of Wicca as it spread from the United Kingdom to the United States and beyond-and takes you inside the political controversies, behind-the-scenes rivalries, and once-guarded secrets of pagan ritual, Wiccan spells, and the Craft of the Wise.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Michael Howard (United Kingdom) is the editor of The Cauldron magazine. He has published more than ten books on a variety of occult subjects, such as Witchcraft and magic, Celtic history, and Paganism.

NEW CHILDREN'S BOOKS:
THE LAST WILD WITCH
By Starhawk
with illustrations by Lindy Kehoe
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Starhawk's new children's book from Mother Tongue Ink Publishing,
creators of the popular We'Moon calendars.
"Once there was a perfect town, in a perfect world, where there were rules for everything and a right way and a wrong way to do everything, and nobody ever broke the rules—except sometimes."
So begins Starhawk's new eco-fable, The Last Wild Witch. When the wind is in the west, and the last wild Witch is brewing her magic brews and singing her magic songs, some of the wildness might get inside you!
Children will delight to this magical story. Adults will find that Starhawk's tale is a jumping-off point to explore a vision of a world that honors the wild.
The perfect town in the perfect world, introduced in the first pages of Starhawk's The Last Wild Witch, could be Any Town, USA: rows of cookie-cutter houses, everyone governed by absolute rules—and kids who can sense that there's something more out there than just being perfect.
The tale, written in simple language with a rhythm that steadily grows as the story progresses, deals with many issues and questions of deep concern to both children and adults. It touches on the creation of rules, the necessity of some and the arbitrary nature of others, and the eternal difference in worldviews and perceptions between innocence (kids) and experience (adults). It shows how this affects the ways we choose to live: conformity vs. individualism, engineered town vs. the wilds of nature. How do we let the wildness in—into our lives, to our vision of what community means? How do we recover our sense of being part of the natural world? Can we let nature's own patterns inform the way we meet our human needs, so that we can heal and regenerate the world around us?
By letting our children lead the way, through their imaginations and affinity with pristine nature, there is hope that we have not sat down to tea with our last wild Witch. These thoughts are brought to life through the shamanistic beat of Starhawk's words, and the vibrant, swirling art of Lindy Kehoe's paintings. Readers will see the auras and feel the pulse of their neighborhoods, and discover the beauty of the wildness that waits not too far from their own doorsteps. You might want to read this one aloud, even if you're by yourself.
