The book of the law
Liber al vel legis
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” This oft-misunderstood phrase, which forms the basis for Crowley’s practice of Magick, is found in The Book of the Law. Dictated to Crowley in Cairo between noon and 1 pm on three success days in April 1904, the Book of the Law is the source book and key for Crowley students and for the occult in general.

For example, to attract love, “visualize yourself freely giving and receiving it as you smell the crushed fruits” of the caraway. You can repeat this several times a day, especially if you are worrying about your current relationship.
And if you’ve been doing rituals for a long time, you will find this book to be invaluable. The correspondences and information will allow you to use aromatics to enhance any of your rituals. This is truly a book anyone can use.
Reed, Ellen Cannon – The heart of Wicca
The heart of wicca
Wise words from a crone on the path
Takes us beyond many of the currently popularized ideas and images related to the nature of Wiccan beliefs and practices. It guides us past the surface into a deeper understanding of the lifestyle, mind set, and religious dedication to spiritual growth that lie at the heart of this life-transforming practice. Reed tells us about life in a coven, training, rituals, initiations, finding a teacher, and spell-casting.
Reed, Ellen Cannon – The witches Qabala
The witches qabala
The pagan path and the Tree of Life
Because the classic writings on the Qabala have been expressed primarily in the terminology of the Western Mystery Tradition or in terms of the ceremonial magician, its usefulness as a tool for the Craft has been overlooked. With this book, Ellen Cannon Reed, a High Priestess of the Isian tradition, brings the symbolism of the Qabala into a new light so pagans can see its value and use it to enhance the Great Work. Reed explains the Tree of Life, the primary symbol used to represent the universal energies as “revealed” by the Qabala, and how its spheres and paths correspond to elements in the pagan tradition. Teachers can use the Qabala to understand the growth of students and their problems, using the Vices and Virtues to recognize stages of growth. Reed also provides exercises, meditations, and encouragement to students who are studying without a teacher. She discusses the Qabala as it appears in everyday life, which spheres of the Tree of Life to use for specific workings, and details two rituals using the Tree: a Dedication to the Journey, and the Rite of mending Love. Reed’s command of the material allows teachers and students alike to gain powerful insight into their own search for spirituality.

Tha path of an American Traditionalist
“Wiccan readers will treasure this blast from the past as one final word from the revered teacher.”—Library Journal
Llewellyn is pleased to present a new Scott Cunningham book—a long-lost Book of Shadows. Recently discovered in a battered manila envelope, this previously unpublished manuscript was penned by Scott in the early 1980s. This rare book includes original spells, rituals, and invocations and an herbal grimoire. Featured in the design are Scott’s actual hand-drawn signs, symbols, and runes.
More than ten years after his passing, Scott Cunningham is still an iconic and highly regarded figure in the magical community. His books on Wicca are considered classics, and his writings continue to inspire and inform those new to the Craft.

Hunting, Leo – Esoterische dimensies in astrologie
Esoterische dimensies in astrologie
De theorie en praktijk van esoterie
Dit boek werpt een volkomen nieuw licht op de huidige astrologie en onthult haar verborgen lagen. Hier wordt haar oorspronkelijke vorm getoond en komen de verloren delen – esoterie en het astrale – weer op hun plaats. Uitgebreid wordt ingegaan op deze bijzondere verborgen energie’n die bovendien een diep inzicht geven in de mens. Deze niet-tastbare onderwerpen worden op een nuchtere en heldere manier beschreven met behulp van mensbeelden, waarbij ook oeroude astrologische bronnen zijn geraadpleegd.
In de eerste astrologische bronnen had God een astronomische plaats in de nachthemel en was Hij een onderdeel van oude astrologische inwijdingsleren. Onze huidige godsdiensten zijn grotendeels gebaseerd op de godsdienstige leringen van de zeven oude planeten. Zeer opmerkelijk in dit boek is de beschrijving van de planeten vanuit een esoterisch standpunt. De manier waarop Leo Hunting dit doet legt de diepste essentie van de planeten bloot. Bovendien wordt duidelijk dat kabbala en astrologie oorspronkelijk één waren. Volkomen nieuw zijn de esoterische en astrale trainingen op astrologische basis.
Leo Hunting houdt zich bezig met het geven van consulten en het opleiden van astrologen. Astrologische kennis is geen vereiste om zijn boek te kunnen lezen, wel interesse in de kennis van het esoterische.
