Download or read book The Left Hand Path written by Asenath Mason and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're looking for a good place to begin when it comes to the Left Hand Path, you will find such a place within this book. Contained between these covers are essays and articles that include information that can help clarify Left Hand Path topics for the beginner. However, if you are beyond the beginner stage, you may also find this volume of particular note because it is a collection of previously out of print material from hard to find sources that address the Left Hand Path. Essays gathered in this book were written by members of Lodge Magan in the years 2002-2010 and are derived from Dragon's Blood magazine and other publications that were originally released at that time. The majority of them have an introductory character, explaining the basics of the Left Hand Path and its concepts, but there are also essays that refer to less known esoteric subjects. With the growing interest in the Draconian Tradition and self-initiatory LHP magic, we have decided to revise this material and make it available again.Lodge Magan, located in Poland, was active in the years 2002-2012. It closed by the end of 2012, giving way to the Temple of Ascending Flame, which is now the leading platform for magicians working with the Draconian Tradition. In addition to early writings from Asenath Mason, this volume contains many other articles from various authors and practitioners of the Draconian Tradition over the years. These include both philosophical aspects of the Left Hand Path and their practical application - rituals, meditations and descriptions of personal gnosis. Topics include Leviathan, Cain, Naamah, Apep, Sacred Sexuality, and Sorath, to name but a few. This is a true gem for the serious practitioner!

Download or read book Structural Masonry written by Rots and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a basis for a standardized approach to structural masonry, using an integration of experimental and computational techniques. Accurate displacement-controlled materials experiments have produced an extensive database of strength, stiffness and softening properties for tension, compression and shear, and this data has been transferred into numerical models for simulating the deformational behaviour of masonry structures. The models have been implemented into finite and distinct element codes and have subsequently been verified against shear wall experiments and analytical solutions for masonry parts.
