Book SynopsisShamanism begins as a personal revelation and inner healing, then evolves into a striving for balance and healing into the Earth itself. Many spiritual seekers are interested in shamanism because it is a spiritual path that can be followed in conjunction with any religion or other spiritual belief without conflict. Shamanism has not only been practised by Native Americans and African cultures - for centuries, it was practised by the Europeans, including the Celts. This text presents a workable, modern form of Celtic shamanism that should help raise the reader's spiritual awareness. The book offers specific exercises and techniques to develop spiritual awareness and ties with the natural world: shape-shifting; divination by the Celtic Ogham alphabet; Celtic shamanic tools; travelling to and using magick in the three realms of the Celtic otherworlds; empowering the self; and journeying through meditation.

Book SynopsisThis edition includes Liber 777, Gematria (from Equinox Volume 1, Number 5), and Sepher Sephiroth (from Equinox Volume 1, Number 8).The first appearance of 777 was published anonymously in 1909 after Crowley had written it from memory in just a week. An introduction to one edition by Frater N.''. states that Crowley may have published it anonymously because it was taken from a Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn manuscript that was obligatory for initiates to memorise. The rest came from his extensive study of the different religious and magical systems of the world.

Book SynopsisA bold exploration of the reintegration of rationality and intuition, science and soul, to foster individual and planetary healing During the scientific revolution, science and soul were drastically separated, propelling humanity into four centuries of scientific exploration based solely on empiricism and rationality. But, as scientist and ecologist Stephan Harding, Ph.D., demonstrates in detail, by reintegrating science with profound personal experiences of psyche and soul, we can reclaim our lost sacred wholeness and help heal ourselves and our planet. The book begins with compelling introductions to depth psychology, alchemy, and Gaia theory--the science of seeing the Earth as an intelligent, self-regulating system, a theory pioneered by the author’s mentor James Lovelock. Harding then explores how alchemy, as understood through the depth psychology of C. G. Jung, offers us powerful methods of reuniting rationality and intuition, science and soul. He examines the integration of important alchemical engravings, including those from L’Azoth des Philosophes and the Rosarium Philosophorum, with Gaian science. He shows how the seven key alchemical operations in the Azoth image can help us develop deeply transformative experiences and insights into our interconnectedness with Gaia. He then looks at how the four components of the living Earth--biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere--mesh not only with the four elements of alchemical theory but also with the four functions of consciousness from depth psychology. Woven throughout with the author’s own experiences of Gaia alchemy, the book also offers guided meditations and contemplative exercises to open your receptivity to messages from the biosphere and help you develop your own Gaian alchemical way of life, full of wonder and healing.Trade Review“Few things are more important today than bringing humane values to the science, technology, and information sectors. It requires a person of vision and imagination. I have known Stephan Harding for many years and have seen firsthand how his genius and big heart help science evolve to the next level. This latest book, Gaia Alchemy, is a beautiful blueprint for transforming contemporary knowledge and returning soul to our planet.” * Thomas Moore, author of #1 New York Times bestseller Care of the Soul and Soul Therapy *“In this time of global crises and evolutionary opportunities, it’s vital that we reclaim our innate human ability to learn from our animate Earth using our feeling senses, our imaginations, and our dreams. Western science, in contrast, has specialized in learning about our world, using logic, quantification, and the illusion of separation. Harding shows us how to alchemically unite and integrate these two modes of knowing and why it’s both necessary and rapturous, and he does so with brilliance, imagination, humor, grace, and, above all, heart. Gaia Alchemy is a worldshifting masterwork, an essential read for all twenty-first-century lovers and defenders of life.” * Bill Plotkin, Ph.D., founder of Animas Valley Institute and author of Soulcraft, Wild Mind, and The *“Harding shows how Western empirical science, which is at the root of so much material progress but also the cause of blatant destruction, can find its way back into the heart of subjective living experience. Gaia Alchemy points to a new union of calculating and intuiting mind, of measuring and of contemplating beauty, and does so from a firm foundation in Western culture, not by borrowing from Asian or Indigenous cosmologies. Profound, erudite, timely, and immensely necessary, Gaia Alchemy builds a bridge between the head and the heart. A landmark work for the Anthropocene.” * Andreas Weber, Ph.D., philosopher, biologist, and author of The Biology of Wonder, Enlivenment, and *“Desperate for a way beyond the reductive mindset of contemporary science, a keenly creative biologist excavates the medieval ‘Great Work’ of alchemy, the immediate precursor of modern science. This book is a record of Harding’s deeply personal quest to bring alchemy’s esoteric insights to bear on the catastrophic situation in which our planet now finds itself. * David Abram, Ph.D., author of The Spell of the Sensuous and Becoming Animal *“A brave book that offers a profound celebration of the marriage between science and soul, showing convincingly that there is no conflict between reason and intuition; in fact, they are good companions. A close collaborator of James Lovelock, who proposed Gaia theory, Stephan has been able to develop an original and authentic understanding of relationships between science and psyche. In this compelling book, rooted in rigorous science and poetic imagination, Stephan outlines a new paradigm for a holistic worldview. Read this book and it will inspire you to look at the world and see it whole.” * Satish Kumar, cofounder of Schumacher College and editor emeritus of Resurgence and Ecologist *“A remarkable and lively synthesis of leading-edge science and the deep wisdom of the archetypal psyche. Harding’s bold and engaging vision works its own alchemical transformation on the reader, guiding us from the lead of the dominant mechanistic and disenchanted worldview to the gold of an experiential understanding of Gaia as the ensouled body in which we live and have our being. This book will prove invaluable to those seeking a more integral approach to Earth System Science, to the psychologically minded who long for deeper connections with the living Earth, and to all who are called to participate in the Great Work of our times.” * Sean Kelly, Ph.D., author of Becoming Gaia and Coming Home *“In this bold and extraordinary book Stephan Harding, an eminent ecologist, makes a surprising defense of alchemy as a tool with which to reconnect with the more-than-human world. Pursue the path of alchemy, he says, and we can restore ourselves to ourselves, and, even more importantly, to Gaia, the living soul of the planet. By offering exercises that anyone can try for themselves, Stephan opens doorways so that everyone can experience Gaian consciousness firsthand. At a time when so many are looking to Indigenous cultures for the answers to our ever-mounting ecological ills, it is refreshing to find someone offering homegrown tools, techniques, and methods that stem from the intellectual roots of Western culture. All the tools we need are to be found in the alembic of the unconscious, in the union of opposites between the scientific rational domain of logos and the deep waters of mythos. I can think of no better guide to steer us through this muchneeded process.” * Andy Letcher, Ph.D., senior lecturer at Schumacher College, program lead for the M.A. in Engaged Eco *“Gaia Alchemy arises like a phoenix out of the ashes of our terribly precise but ultimately life-denying sciences of reduction, abstraction, and objectification. Harding’s storied and deeply personal account of his imaginal journey into Gaia alchemy is a timely invitation to each of us to cultivate ways of knowing and being adequate to the great Planet-Being with whom we live.” * Jonathan M. Code, M.Ed., lecturer in sustainable land management at Royal Agricultural University *“Stephan Harding’s teaching is always illuminating. In Gaia Alchemy, he shows how, through the relationship between science, alchemy, and depth psychology, we can reach toward an experience of nondual Gaian soul in our lives.” * Peter Reason, Ph.D., professor emeritus at the University of Bath *“Stephan Harding tells an enthralling new story of Gaia, one where we begin with Gaia rather than ourselves. His unique union of science, myth, and alchemy--invoking both our rational and intuitive ways of thinking and exploring how they may and must come together--brings us into a new vision of a Gaia consciousness. A brilliant book.” * Jules Cashford, Jungian analyst and coauthor of The Myth of the Goddess *“With the emergence of a Gaian science that restores mind to Earth, we have a new lens through which to divine alchemical meaning in geo-ecological processes. This is the dazzling new vista for the healing of both Earth and ourselves that Gaia Alchemy opens up.” * Freya Mathews, adjunct professor of environmental philosophy at La Trobe University and author of Re *Table of ContentsForeword by Stephen Harrod Buhner Acknowledgments INTRODUCTION Science Meets Alchemy 1 First Steps 2 Psyche and Alchemy 3 Descartes’s Sky God 4 Descartes Meets Alchemy 5 The Unus Mundus: Gaia Archetype and Gaia Science 6 Carbon and Gaia’s Temperature Regulation 7 A Gaia Alchemy Meditation: Creating and Using the Gaiascope 8 Gaia and the Tabula Smaragdina 9 The Seven Stars 10 Sir Isaac Newton’s Azoth Mandala 11 Gaia Alchemy on Granite 12 Of Loops and Stars 13 Gaia Alchemy and Deep Time 14 An Alchemical Conversation 15 The Fungus and the Rose Garden 16 Living a Gaian Alchemical Life: The Ecosophical Tree 17 Experiencing Gaia Mercurius Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisThe practice of spagyrics is the application of ancient alchemical working methods to the preparation of tinctures, essences, and other products from medicinal plants. While ordinary tinctures and infusions use only a part of the great curative potential of plants, spagyric methods “open” medicinal plants completely to reveal their more powerful healing properties. Drawing on the rich imagery and symbolism of ancient source materials, Manfred M. Junius describes these methods in great detail, showing readers how to prepare plant remedies alchemically for their own use as well as imparting a knowledge of the ideological world in which alchemistic and hermetic thought flowered. Spagyricsincludes the Plant Magistery of Paracelsus and the Life Elixir recipe of Andreas Libavius among its historic techniques as well as a wealth of scientific information that demonstrates the greater efficacy of alchemical methods of plant essence extraction. This classic source text preserves the nearly forgotten but highly valuable methods of this true hermetic art for preparing natural remedies.Trade Review“Simply put, this is a classic text on plant alchemy, or spagyrics, for the modern practitioner. . . . Anyone serious about learning alchemy needs to have a copy.” * Mark Stavish, director of the Institute of Hermetic Studies and author of The Path of Alchemy *"What makes Junius's book so special is that it is a practical primer on the subject. Traditional methods are presented as well as more modernized suggestions, but all within the strict confines of tradition. . . . Highly recommended." * Cauldron Brasil, May 2007 *If you've always been curious about the real nature of alchemy, this book will help you in that search. If you are looking for more holistic ways to heal, this book will supply many thought-provoking guidelines. It will be cherished by those already familiar with the subject matter, and represents a bold undertaking by its author." * Barbara Bamgerger Scott, Curled Up With a Good Book, Oct 2008 *"The word means 'to draw out' and 'divide,' a basic principle of alchemy. The techniques date back at least to Paracelsus and have been said to release powerful healing properties from plants." * The American Herb Association, 24:4, February 2010 *Table of ContentsFOREWORD BY BRIAN COTNOIR PREFACE1 SPAGYRIA AND SPAGYRICS 2 ADVICE OF BASILIUS VALENTINUS 3 THE THREE PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES AND THE ELEMENTS 4 MERCURY, SULFUR, AND SALT IN THE PLANT WORLD 5 THE EXTRACTION OF THE THREE PHILOSOPHICAL PRINCIPLES FROM PLANTS The Extraction of the Essential Oils, That Is, of the Volatile Sulfur Mercury Fixed Sulfur and Its Salt Salt 6 THE STARS The Foundations Stars and Medicinal Plants Days, Hours, and Rhythms of the Planets The Exact Horoscope as the Basis for the Works 7 PREPARATION OF SPAGYRIC TINCTURES AND ESSENCES 8 CIRCULATION 9 THE PLANT MAGISTERY OF PARACELSUS 10 THE CIRCULATUM MINUS OF URBIGERUS 11 ELIXIR--CLYSSUS--VEGETABLE STONE The Opus Vegetabile of M.

Book SynopsisAt age 18, Damien Echols was sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit. “I spent my years in prison training to be a true magician,” he recalls. “I used magick - the practice of reshaping reality through our intention and will - to stave off incredible pain, despair, and isolation. But the most amazing feat of all that practice and study was to manifest my freedom.” With High Magick, this bestselling author shares his first instructional book on the powerful spiritual practice that helped him overcome his struggles - so you can learn how to transform your own reality. What is High Magick? The tradition Damien teaches is not about stage tricks or illusions - it is an ancient discipline of spiritual realisation kept alive for thousands of years. Here he offers clear training for modern audiences on meditations and practices such as the Four-Fold Breath, the Qabalistic Cross, the Lesser Rituals of the Pentagram, using sigils and talismans, and working with angelic forces of creation. “Magick is a journey,” teaches Damien. “It’s a continuously unfolding path that has no end - meant for questioners, seekers, and those who desire to peel away the surface of reality to see what lies beneath.” If you’re ready to discover your untapped potential for co-creating your reality with the energy of the divine, then join this extraordinary teacher to begin your training in High Magick.
