Here there be Dragons, and here you will learn the mystical art of meeting them and learn to incorporate them into your magickal rituals.Part 2: The Book of Dragon Shadows is a miscellany of rituals, spells and formulas. Everything needed to practice the art of Dragon Magick. Designed to be used by the solitaire witch or by a group. I work with dragons, or more specifically, they work with me and on me. I have read any pagan/wiccan book that alludes to Dragons that I have come across and have always felt myself disappointed, horrified, or laughing.This book does not have any ridiculous meditations to find your dragon, it is not based on the authors dragon fiction preferences (Dragons do not need keepers), it is a work written from the heart, which honors the dragon energies. It sets them in a Wiccan framework, which is my preferred path. His history of dragons is concise, just over a pages worth. It doesnt try to weave together a history from all the dragon tales set down through the eyes of the Church.It is written in a concise manner - there are many pages for notes. Like Scott Cunninghams books, its easy to read, gives you a framework for working with the energy and cuts out all the embroidered matter I find in other books. It is more than evident that this guy knows the energies he is talking about and respects them for what they are.My hat is off to Parker J Torrence - and many thanks for a book on dragons that I will be able to recommend.

  • The Punishment of Clerical Necromancers During the Period 1100-1500 CE
    Christendom v. Clericus: The Punishment of Clerical Necromancers During the Period 1100-1500 CE A Thesis Presented to the Academic Faculty by Kayla Marie McManus-Viana In Partial Fulfillment of the Degree Requirements for the Bachelor of Science in History, Technology, and Society with the Research Option Georgia Institute of Technology December 2020 1 Table of Contents Section 1: Abstract Section 2: Introduction Section 3: Literature Review Section 4: Historical Background Magic in the Middle Ages What is Necromancy? Clerics as Sorcerers The Catholic Church in the Middle Ages The Law and Magic Section 5: Case Studies Prologue: Magic and Rhetoric The Cases Section 6: Conclusion Section 7: Bibliography 3 Abstract “The power of Christ compels you!” is probably the most infamous line from the 1973 film The Exorcist. The movie, as the title suggests, follows the journey of a priest as he attempts to excise a demon from within the body of a young girl. These types of sensational pop culture depictions are what inform the majority of people’s conceptions of demons and demonic magic nowadays. Historically, however, human conceptions of demons and magic were more nuanced than those depicted in The Exorcist and similar works. Demons were not only beings to be feared but sources of power to be exploited. Necromancy, a form of demonic magic, was one avenue in which individuals could attempt to gain control over a demon. During the period this thesis explores, 1100-1500 CE, only highly educated men, like clerics, could complete the complicated rituals associated with necromancy. Thus, this study examines the rise of the learned art of clerical necromancy in conjunction with the re-emergence of higher learning in western Europe that developed during the period from 1100-1500 CE.

Typeset in Bauer Bodoni, Goudy Text, and Waters Titling. www.holybooks.com Part II: The Ritual of Transcendental Magic www.holybooks.com The Sabbatic Goat www.holybooks.com INTRODUCTION KNOWEST thou that old queen of the world who is on the march always and wea- ries never? Every uncurbed passion, every selfish pleasure, every licentious energy of humanity, and all its tyrannous weakness, go before the sordid mistress of our tearful valley, and, scythe in hand, these indefatigable labourers reap their eternal harvest. That queen is old as time, but her skeleton is concealed in the wreckage of women's beauty, which she abstracts from their youth and love. Her skull is adorned with lifeless tresses that are not her own. Spoliator of crowned heads, she is embellished with the plunder of queens, from the star-begemmed hair of Berenice to that-white, but not with age-which the executioner sheared from the brow of Marie Antoinette. Her livid and frozen body is clothed in faded garments and tattered winding-sheets. Her bony hands, covered with rings, hold diadems and chains, scepters and crossbones, jewels and ashes. When she goes by, doors open of themselves; she passes through walls; she penetrates to the cabinets of kings; she surprises the extortioners of the poor in their most secret orgies; she sits down at their board, pours out their wine, grins at their songs with her gumless teeth, takes the place of the lecherous courtesan hidden behind their curtains.

  • The Zoëtic Grimoire of Zos
    THE ZOËTIC GRIMOIRE OF ZOS The Formulae of Zos vel Thanatos By Austin Osman Spare First Formula: Of the White Sabbath—as first told me by a Witch ARGUMENT: Actually there is neither a Black nor a White Sabbath: the ethical criterion of all acts is whether they are anti-social or so motivated. Where two or more of a kind of equal maturity and inclination enact for consummation, then, if harm they do it is only to themselves—which I doubt—and far less harmful than the practices of those who mutilate or deny their bodies in the name of a culture or a religion. The latter are invariably prophets or propagators of sterility, whereas the one outward tenet of Witchcraft is silence to "unlike others". The Sabbath is an inverse-reversion for self-seduction, an undoing for a divertive conation. Sex is used as the technique and medium of a magical act. There is not only erotic satisfaction; the sensualist is made detached and controlled until final sublimation; his whole training is submissive and obedient until, by cold amoral passion, he can transmute control and divert him- or herself where desired. The Witch so engaged is old, grotesque, worldly and libidinously learned and is sexually attractive as a corpse; yet she becomes the entire vehicle of consummation. This is necessary to transmute the personal aesthetic culture. Perversion is used only to overcome moral prejudices or conformity; the mind and desire must become amoral, focused and made entirely acceptive so that the life-force is free of inhibitions prior to the control.

Lavado 2 The Magic of Books: A History of Medieval Magic and Literature Introduction Narrative binds people together with a common language and experience. It provides a singular manner for communication and interaction. Without this interaction, there would be no society or culture to speak of; with no way to articulate and control sounds, humans would be forced to communicate through the use of motions and gestures, deprived of the beauty and magic of language. Words can somehow capture pain, joy, beauty, awe, sadness, excitement, emotion and the very thrill that comes from being alive in a way that nothing else can. Language can inspire and influence as much as it can inflict pain and despair, making it truly the most powerful, and even magical, human resource.

  • Haunted Places in HP Lovecraft's, MR James's, A. Machen's and A
    THEORIA ET HISTORIA SCIENTIARUM, VOL. XIV Ed. Nicolaus Copernicus University 2017 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/ths.2017.013 Anna Maleszka Institute of History and Archival Sciences Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń [email protected] Mateusz Maleszka Institute of History and Archival Sciences Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń [email protected] Supernatural or Material: Haunted Places in H.P. Lovecraft’s, M.R. James’s, A. Machen’s and A. Blackwood’s Horror Fiction Abstract. The horror story writers of the early 20th century presented various views on the surrounding reality. Howard P. Lovecraft and Montague R. James, for their part, rejected the mere possibility of phenomena regarded as supernatural, contrary to other writers, such as Arthur C. Doyle, Arthur Machen or Algernon Blackwood, who were members of theosophical or occultist societies. The writers differed also in the level of their education. Lovecraft was an erudite interested in science, notwithstanding the fact that he did not receive formal education. James was a respected medievalist, a specialist in the history of Christianity. Blackwood, educated abroad (in Germany), explicitly differed in his artistic output from Machen, a Welshman, who left the United Kingdom only to pursue his journalistic career. The aim of the article is to present the haunted places in the literary works of the chosen authors and to juxtapose their narratives with their scholarly achievements and their views on the surrounding reality. Based on the New Historicist approach, the study shows that the roots of horror in the haunted places presented by the authors in their works were more “material” than “supernatural”—what accounted for their choices of haunted places, story characters and haunting horrors were personal attitudes and life experience of each of the writers.
