Book Synopsis The Clovenstone Workings by : Robin Artisson
Download or read book The Clovenstone Workings written by Robin Artisson and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-12 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Clovenstone Workings" is a manual of Witchcraft inspired by and based upon 17th Century reports of the operations, workings, and meetings of Early Modern Witches. Noted author and sorcerous practitioner Robin Artisson has assembled this work of practical guidance and instruction based upon research, occult exploration, and ritually channeled guidance gained over a period of time leading up to the book's publication. Found within are examinations of the nature of the entities who stood behind the historical arts of Witchcraft and the extraordinary relationships once gained by certain human beings with them: entities whose presence can still be encountered at rare times by men and women today. How this was accomplished in the past, and methods for how it might be accomplished now through the incubation of initiatory dreams, are both elucidated in great detail. The motivations behind historical Witchcraft, the nature of the Witch throughout history, and the difficulties that modern people face when attempting to integrate themselves with the spiritual current of the Despised Art are all given a thoughtful treatment. The heart of this work contains full instructions for basic and advanced feats of Witchery as they were reported in Early Modern sources, including the yielding of the legendary talismanic Green Oyl, the art of scrying in mirrors and dark surfaces under the empowerment of certain mystical formulas, petitioning and bargaining with spirits, Transvection or soul-flight, and sympathetic sorcery achieved through empowered images. The Clovenstone Workings is a readable and concise handbook of the Witchcraft of an older age, well-suited for adepts of the Strange Arts as well as for those seeking to begin their own practice.

Book Synopsis The Flaming Circle by : Robin Artisson
Download or read book The Flaming Circle written by Robin Artisson and published by Pendraig Publishing. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Regeneration of the Pre-Christian Spiritual Worldviews and Religious Practices of the Holy Isles." This book is very different from anything Robin Artisson has written so far, for a very special reason: it is written in the tone of a father to his children. This book is a gift for his children, full of things he would want them to know and things he would want to tell them, to help them through their lives. The book is closer, more intimate, and warmer than most of his work. But it includes massive amounts of material regarding native British Isles (Britain and Ireland) traditional Paganism and spiritual ecology, and native Gods and Goddesses. Tons of scholarly backing and personal inspiration, as well as a wide and complete selection of traditional Pagan philosophical "points of guidance" are offered, as a father would want to offer his most beloved offspring. A full working reconstruction of the pre-Christian polytheistic religious perspectives and practices of Pagan Britain and Ireland is "taught" in its pages, like a guidebook and a long letter/narrative being sent from father to children. There is a long occult tradition of such exchanges. All are invited to listen in on a man telling the most important things he can tell his children, and hoping that they remember these things when he is gone and they have children of their own. A very personal project, but one he has wanted to create and write for years, and it deals with years worth of material he has collected.
Book Synopsis The Resurrection of the Meadow by : Robin Artisson
Download or read book The Resurrection of the Meadow written by Robin Artisson and published by . This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.
Book Synopsis Cunning Folk and Familiar Spirits by : Emma Wilby
Download or read book Cunning Folk and Familiar Spirits written by Emma Wilby and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the hundreds of confessions relating to witchcraft and sorcery trials from early modern Britain we frequently find detailed descriptions of intimate working relationships between popular magical practitioners and familiar spirits of either human or animal form. Until recently historians often dismissed these descriptions as elaborate fictions created by judicial interrogators eager to find evidence of stereotypical pacts with the Devil. Although this paradigm is now routinely questioned, and most historians acknowledge that there was a folkloric component to familiar lore in the period, these beliefs and the experiences reportedly associated with them, remain substantially unexamined. Cunning-Folk and Familiar Spirits examines the folkloric roots of familiar lore from historical, anthropological and comparative religious perspectives. It argues that beliefs about witches' familiars were rooted in beliefs surrounding the use of fairy familiars by beneficent magical practitioners or 'cunning folk', and corroborates this through a comparative analysis of familiar beliefs found in traditional native American and Siberian shamanism. The author explores the experiential dimension of familiar lore by drawing parallels between early modern familiar encounters and visionary mysticism as it appears in both tribal shamanism and medieval European contemplative traditions. These perspectives challenge the reductionist view of popular magic in early modern British often presented by historians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the Forbidden Path of the Ultimate Rebel When you separate the religious dogma from the symbolic nature of the devil, who really is he? Kate Freuler presents the infamous figure as a symbol, not a deity, and reveals how to use this radical philosophy to strengthen yourself and your witchcraft.

Freuler dispels common myths, providing examples from a variety of texts and personal stories about her own connection to this misunderstood symbol. She also shares a variety of hands-on rituals you can use for self-empowerment. From the devil's relationship with the old gods to the shadow work associated with him, Magic at the Crossroads invites you to see this controversial symbol with new eyes.
Download or read book Here Lies Arthur written by Philip Reeve and published by Scholastic Inc.. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the dark side of Camelot. The acclaimed author of Mortal Engines delivers a “powerfully inventive” re-creation of the King Arthur tale (Booklist, starred review). Gwynna is just a girl who is forced to run when her village is attacked and burns to the ground. To her horror, she is discovered, but it is Myrddin the bard, a traveler and spinner of tales, who has found her. He agrees to protect Gwynna if she will agree to be bound in service to him. Gwynna is frightened but intrigued, for this Myrddin serves the young, rough, and powerful Arthur. In the course of their travels, Myrddin transforms Gwynna into the mysterious Lady of the Lake, a boy warrior, and a spy. It is part of a plot to transform Arthur from the leader of a ragtag war-band into King Arthur, the greatest hero of all time. If Gwynna and Myrrdin’s trickery is discovered, what will become of Gwynna? Worse, what will become of Arthur? Only the endless battling, the mighty belief of men, and the sheer cunning of one remarkable girl will tell. “Nodding to canon and history while not particularly following either Reeve, like Myrddin, turns hallowed myth and supple prose to political purposes, neatly skewering the modern-day cult of spin and the age-old trickery behind it. Smart teens will love this.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Is there room for yet another reworking of the Arthur legend? If it’s this one, yes . . . Absorbing, thought-provoking and unexpectedly timely.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A multilayered tour de force for mature young readers.” —School Library Journal

Download or read book An Carow Gwyn written by Robin Artisson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Carow Gwyn is an extensive work covering every angle and dark folkloric corner of the ancient Fairy-related beliefs of Europe and the British Isles. The first portion of the work is a sprawling, in-depth analysis of the "Fayerie Faith," the folkloric presence of the old animism and spirit-worship of ancient and pre-modern Europe, Eurasia, Britain, and Ireland. The remaining portions form a detailed modern Grimoire of practical sorcery based solely upon pre-modern principles and traditional spirit-metaphysics as they are found in the ballads and folktales of the Old World and the traditional tales and lore of witchcraft. Also included is Robin Artisson's translation of a 14th century work, "The Romance of Thomas of Erceldoune," appearing here for the first time in modern English, along with detailed notes revealing the full esoteric significance of the strange story it tells: a story of how humans relate to the Fayerie World, and what that might mean for our destiny in this world. Countless other old tales are told and analyzed for the truths and guidance they contain. An Carow Gwyn shows the Old Way of seeing and living in this world for what it truly was, where it ultimately came from, and how it still lives quietly among us. A complete philosophical treatise regarding Spiritual Ecology, and how it relates to the Old Ways, is interlaced throughout the book. Criticism of modern cultural philosophies and ideologies in light of what the Old Ways reveal, forgotten histories underlying many of our cultural stories and myths, and the hidden laws and techniques behind basic and advanced historical works of sorcery (all of which are explained in exacting detail) are carefully brought together in this substantial and paradigm-shifting work. An Carow Gwyn contains over 60 illustrations and diagrams, and gives historical (and accessible) spells and workings from the Classical to the Elizabethan eras for seeking oracles through dreams, swaying the spirits of forests and graveyards, protection and uncrossing, opening doorways into spiritual regions, and even the supreme act of disassociating from bodily experience and traveling in the Unseen world.

Book Synopsis Invoking the Akelarre by : Emma Wilby
Download or read book Invoking the Akelarre written by Emma Wilby and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their dramatic descriptions of black masses and cannibalistic feasts, the records generated by the Basque witch-craze of 160914 provide us with arguably the most demonologically-stereotypical accounts of the witches sabbath or akelarre to have emerged from early modern Europe. While the trials have attracted scholarly attention, the most substantial monograph on the subject was written nearly forty years ago and most works have focused on the ways in which interrogators shaped the pattern of prosecutions and the testimonies of defendants. Invoking the Akelarre diverts from this norm by employing more recent historiographical paradigms to analyze the contributions of the accused. Through interdisciplinary analyses of both French- and Spanish-Basque records, it argues that suspects were not passive recipients of elite demonological stereotypes but animated these received templates with their own belief and experience, from the dark exoticism of magical conjuration, liturgical cursing and theatrical misrule to the sharp pragmatism of domestic medical practice and everyday religious observance. In highlighting the range of raw materials available to the suspects, the book helps us to understand how the fiction of the witches sabbath emerged to such prominence in contemporary mentalities, whilst also restoring some agency to the defendants and nuancing the historical thesis that stereotypical content points to interrogatorial opinion and folkloric content to the voices of the accused. In its local context, this study provides an intimate portrait of peasant communities as they flourished in the Basque region in this period and leaves us with the irony that Europes most sensationally-demonological accounts of the witches sabbath may have evolved out of a particularly ardent commitment, on the part of ordinary Basques, to the social and devotional structures of popular Catholicism.
