THE
CHARMERS' PSALTER
by
Gemma Gary
Paperback
Edition: 120 pages
Publisher:
Troy Books (April 27, 2017)
List Price:
$14.95
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
The Psalms,
mysterious in their origins and possibly far pre-dating their
appearance within Judeo-Christian Scripture, have a long history of
magical use. We encounter the Psalms within the rites and talismanic
magic of the grimoires, and their prolific employment within
Charming, Cunning and folk-magical tradition. Herein the methods of
their use are varied and incorporate magical acts of utterance,
inscription, bottling, burning, sprinkling, pouring and burial in
conjunction with various substances and materials.
Serving a
vast array of needs, principally for healing, protection and the
averting of evil, but also long employed within acts of cursing, the
Psalms are an established feature of traditional operative magic yet
also an indicium of engaging with the world of spirit, the divine and
the unseen:
“Whilst
the traditional magical uses of the Psalms may appear to be almost
entirely for the serving of material needs and desires, rather than
for purposes of spiritual advancement, they are possessed of great
beauty, and in one's recourse to them in times of distress and great
difficulty there is to be attained a moment of contemplative comfort,
and an acknowledgement of the immanence of the divine presence;
turned to for spiritual strength and assistance.”
(From the
Introduction and Manner of Use)
The
Charmers' Psalter is born from a personal working collection of
magical Psalms and other verbal charms, here presented in a
convenient 'pocket book' format (100mm x 150mm), so that it may
always be on hand to the contemporary Charmer for reference should
need of it arise.

About the
Author:
Nigel
Pearson was born and brought up in Suffolk, England, where he still
lives and works, having a great love for the East Anglian countryside
and never having felt the need to leave it. He has spent most of his
life studying the myths, legends and magic of various cultures, but
mostly the native lore of the British Isles. He has been a practising
Traditional Witch for over 35 years and has the bruises to prove it.
He jointly owns and runs Sacred Earth, a healing and esoteric supply
business, with his husband Anthony Pearson-Moorhouse, helped by their
two dogs, Bilbo and Bramble, who mostly just get in the way. In the
past he has worked for an Insurance broking company, the N.H.S. and
also British Telecom, but now much prefers the "quiet life."
Many years ago he did leave East Anglia briefly to study for a degree
in the Humanities, but had far too much fun being a student, so
passed on the actual degree; he does, however, possess Practitioner
Diplomas in Advanced Herbal Medicine and Homoeopathy - which he
sometimes uses.

Songs of
the Black Flame is an intimate look into how Lucifer shines ever
brightly in the lives of 16 Luciferians. Songs interweaves personal
experience, poetry, art and magick to form a substantial chariot
capable of carrying the reader into the realm of Lucifer. Whether one
remains or not is a matter of will, karma and indeed choice.
I am
Zeros and Ones;
An
Enigma,
Composed
of Cells.
Atoms
In
Motion;
Luminescence
Ablaze …
Poetry is
the language of the magickian and the poems within this book are of
great practical use in both invocation and evocation. The words found
in these poems do not so much describe as bring forth the might and
majesty of Lucifer into the mind, heart, and into the very Temple of
the practitioner.
Lucifer
although archaic, is very much a Spirit for our times. Within this
great light bearer seethes and boils the uncontained archetype of
resistance. The Fallen Bright Angel is the very figure of rebellion.
As ‘weavers will look for patterns, junkies for escapes,’ rebels
seek freedom and shoulder the responsibility with which it is
accompanied. This is a book written by rebels for rebels whose songs
burn with determination, honesty, integrity and passion.

THE
ORACLES OF APOLLO:
Practical
Ancient Greek Divination for Today
by
John Opsopaus
Paperback:
288 pages
Publisher:
Llewellyn Publications (July 8, 2017)
List Price:
21.99
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
Throughout
history, divination has been an important tool for seeking guidance
from the gods. Fortunately, several classical divination systems are
available to us again today. The Oracles of Apollo shows how to use
two rediscovered divination systems: the Alphabet Oracle, a system
that uses the ancient Greek alphabet, and the Counsels of the Seven
Sages, a series of 147 short, oracular statements that were inscribed
on tablets at Delphi.
This book
shares divination techniques and rituals―including the use of
alphabet stones, dice, staves, beads, and coins―and interpretations
of the outcomes to help you integrate the wisdom of the gods and
goddesses. These oracles were originally designed thousands of years
ago to provide insights into practical matters and deeper issues . .
. and they can be used again today.
About the
Author:

“Apollonius” Opsopaus has practiced magic, divination, and
Neopaganism since the 1960s. He has more than 30 publications in
various magical and Neopagan magazines and designed the Pythagorean
Tarot and wrote the comprehensive Guide to the Pythagorean Tarot
(Llewellyn, 2001). He is the author of the forthcoming Oracles of
Apollo (Llewellyn, 2017). Opsopaus frequently presents workshops on
Hellenic magic and Neopaganism, Pythagorean theurgy, divination, and
related topics. He is a member of the Grey Council and is past Dean
of the Departments of Mathemagicks and Ceremonial Magick of the Grey

BETWEEN
THE REALMS:
Cornish
Myth and Magic
by
Cheryl Straffon
Paperback:
158 pages
Publisher:
Troy Books (October 15, 2013)
FROM THE
PUBLISHER:
In this
exploration of the Cornish Celtic Otherworld, Cheryl Straffon
expertly guides us through a realm of traditional tales, stories,
myths, legends and folklore wherein we encounter supernatural beings,
such as fairies, piskeys, mermaids, witches, giants and other strange
creatures. Between the Realms examines the writings of the folklorist
collectors, and oral traditions born from the prehistoric sacred
landscape of Cornwall. Cheryl explains how, in this material, we find
themes and narratives strikingly similar to those encountered within
much earlier works that refer to beliefs and events that were current
in the ancient past. In turn we find that Celtic sagas and mythic
tales seem to exhibit the same way of interfacing with the world of
magic and spirit as seen in the beliefs and practices of many native
indigenous peoples from around the world. As Cheryl tells us in her
introduction to this book, 'It is a realm that has some similarities
to our own, but one that is also strangely unfamiliar. It is a
dangerous world to enter, but nevertheless one that can give new
insights and experiences that change our world view when we return to
our mundane world.'

The
Illuminati reflects several organizations commonly known as secret
societies. Explore via this lavishly illustrated 78-card Tarot deck
and unique, comprehensive guidebook the complex tapestry of five
historically significant secret societies and the universal thread
that weaves itself through all of them: the Tarot. The Priory of Sion
(Majors), the Rosicrucians (Cups), the Freemasons (Swords), the
Martinists (Coins), and the Golden Dawn (Wands) are all clandestine
fraternities that have not only wielded direct influence on Western
mysticism but have also exerted global influence, both politically
and socially. In this comparative study of fellowships and Tarot,
examine the history and imagery relating to each card, in-depth card
meanings, and specific keywords that will assist you along your own
mysterious path. How will your life connect with the mystifying―at
times cloak-and-dagger―world of secret societies?
