Book excerpt: This Study Guide is based on a long awaited seminar on traditional magical teachings found in 'pow-wow' or Brauche of the Pennsylvania Germans. These practices include the traditional grimoires, as well as the teachings of Paracelsus and Agrippa, and the rare philosophical and visionary end of the spectrum of Jacob Boehme, Johannes Kelpius, and Conrad Beissel. Because the world view of the Renaissance magus (from which the braucher is a direct descendant) is somewhat different than what we see in many modern magical groups. Topics to include: -Offering prayers, the various classes of beings, and how to address them. -How to make traditional red protection cords, as well as black. -Traditional charms, their theory and practice. -A survey of the Three Books of Agrippa, the Fourth Book, and the Arbatel in practical magic. -A short course on defensive magic: eggs for cleansing and healing, prayer cloths, witch bottles, and using the SATOR Square. -How to write a Himmelsbrief (Letter from Heaven) -Various forms of Holy Water, Holy Oil, Brauche bags, and making more tools of the trade. -Psalm magic as found with The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, as well as in hoodoo. -Parting the Veil and Collecting Spirits: Summoning angelic, demonic, elemental, and humans to the edge of the circle. -Invocation without a circle, magic mirrors, etc. This book is a rare and unique opportunity to learn about the fundamentals of these teachings and their importance in modern life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known in Pennsylvania Dutch as brauche or braucherei, the folk-healing practice of powwowing was thought to draw upon the power of God to heal all manner of physical and spiritual ills. Yet some people believed, and still believe today, that this power to heal came not from God, but from the devil. Controversy over powwowing came to a climax in 1929 with the York Hex Murder Trial, in which one powwower from York County, Pennsylvania, killed another powwower (who, he believed, had placed a hex on him). In Powwowing Among the Pennsylvania Dutch, David Kriebel examines the practice of powwowing in a scholarly light and shows that, contrary to popular belief, the practice of powwowing is still active today. Because powwowing lacks extensive scholarly documentation, David Kriebel&’s research is both a groundbreaking inquiry and a necessity for the scholar of Pennsylvania German history and culture. The fact that powwowing is still practiced may come as a surprise to some readers, but included in this book are the interviews Kriebel had with living powwowers during his seven years of fieldwork in southeastern and central Pennsylvania. Along with these interviews, Kriebel includes biographical sketches of seven living powwowers; descriptions of powwowing as it was practiced in years past, compared with the practice today; a discussion of the belief of powwowing as healing; and a discussion of the future, if any, of powwowing, and what it will take for powwowing to continue to survive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Out of the culure of the Pennsylvania Germans comes a tradition of faith healing and folk magic known as Powwow. Rooted in the grimoires of the Medieval Catholic church and preserved amongst the early settlers of Pennsylvania, Powwwoing has endured for over two hundred years as a collection of charms, spells, cures, and practices that are used to heal, combat witchcraft, protect the homestead and exemplify the power of faith in God. Robert Chapman, expert on the tradition of Powwowing, presents an in-depth look at the practices of the Powwow Doctor; including healing charms, protection charms, ceremonial magic circles, divination, herbalism, astrology, anti-witchcraft charms, and more. This is the most comprehnsive how-to guide on the subject in the spirit of the old grimoires and a must read for the would-be Powwower"--Back cover.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to the history, theory and practice of Pow Wow, this book draws upon historical documentation, traditional methods, and a life of personal experience. Pow Wow, or Braucherei, as it is known by its practitioners, is a system of folk magic that has its roots in Christian and Pre-Christian Germany, but its character is wholy American - the quintissential American magical system. Drawing on quotes from the Bible, qabalistic principles and old gromoires, it is empowered by the Holy Trinity, and most practitioners consider themselves to be Christian, much like the Cunning Folk of England. The final chapter, about Doctor Santee, references material and uses a photograph that is copyright GLHoke, and used with permission. "The Red Church: The Art of Pennsylvania German Braucherei is the finest book on German magic to be seen in decades. Comprehensive in its historical, philosophical and cultural roots, The Red Church is a book that will be appreciated by academics and modern practitioners of not just folk and ceremonial magic alike, but also energetic and faith healing, symbolism, and cultural psychology. Extensively researched and documented, no one interested in the survival of Medieval and Renaissance magic into the modern era should be without a copy of it within easy reach." - Mark Stavish, Director of Studies, Institute for Hermetic Studies, author of, The Path of Alchemy, Freemasonry - Rituals, Symbols and History of the Secret Society, and Between the Gates: Lucid Dreaming, Astral Projection and the Body of Light.

Book excerpt: During one month in the autumn of election year 2000, scores of movie-business strivers are focused on one goal: getting a piece of an elusive, but surely huge, television saga, the one that opens with Huns sweeping through Mongolia and closes with a Mormon diviner in the Las Vegas desert; the sure-to-please-everyone multigenerational TV miniseries about diviners, those miracle workers who bring water to perpetually thirsty (and hungry and love-starved) humankind. Among the wannabes: Vanessa Meandro, hot-tempered head of Means of Production, an indie film company; her harried and varied staff; a Sikh cab driver, promoted to the office of -theory and practice of TV; a bipolar bicycle messenger, who makes a fateful mis-delivery; two celebrity publicists, the Vanderbilt girls; a thriller writer who gives Botox parties; the daughter of an L.A. big-shot, who is hired to fetch Vanessa's Krispy Kremes and more; a word man who coined the phrase -- inspired by a true story; and a supreme court justice who wants to write the script.A few true artists surface in the course of Moody's rollicking but intricately woven novel, and real emotion eventually blossoms for most of Vanessa's staff at Means of Production, even herself. The Diviners is a cautionary tale about pointless ambition; a richly detailed look at the interlocking worlds of money, politics, addiction, sex, work, and family in modern America; and a masterpiece of comedy that will bring Rick Moody to a still higher level of appreciation.
