Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rites, practices, and texts collected by the mysterious UR group for the use of aspiring mages. • Rare Hermetic texts published in English for the first time. • Includes instructions for developing psychic and magical powers. In 1927 Julius Evola and other leading Italian intellectuals formed the mysterious UR group. Their goal: to bring their individual egos into a state of superhuman power and awareness in which they could act "magically" on the world. Their methods: the practice of ancient Tantric and Buddhist rituals and the study of rare Hermetic texts. So successful were they that rumors spread throughout Italy of the group's power, and Mussolini himself became quite fearful of them. Now for the first time in English Introduction to Magic collects the rites, practices, and knowledge of the UR group for the use of aspiring mages. Included in Introduction to Magic are instructions for creating an etheric double, speaking words of power, using fragrances, interacting with entities, and creating a "magical chain." Among the arcane texts translated are the Tibetan teachings of the Thunderbolt Diamond Path, the Mithraic mystery cult's "Grand Papyrus of Paris," and the Greco-Egyptian magical text De Mysteriis. Anyone who has exhausted the possibilities of the mundane world and is ready to take the steps necessary to purify the soul in the light of knowledge and the fire of dedication will find a number of expert mentors here.

Swept into encounters with allies more unpredictable than enemies, Jonathan pieces together his destiny as a member of a secret society devoted to keeping our world separate from Aurora. But as the ground shifts and allegiances change with every step, he and his friends sink ever deeper into a deadly pursuit of the profound evil that is also chasing after them.

Readers of all ages will find comfort in this timeless story, which will make them wonder and believe in the power of friendship. The story begins: On top of a small, ivy-covered house in a peaceful and beautiful part of the world was a room that was anything but ordinary. This room was a cozy haven where it seemed like time stopped and the worries of the outside world went away. In the middle of this room was a small teddy bear named Teddy. Inside Teddy's cozy, well-lit body was a charming story waiting to be solved. Teddy wasn't like other toy animals because he could do magic. Instead, he was one of a kind. He was a much-loved pet, and his soft, silky fur showed that he had been stroked and cuddled a lot. Even though he kept his warm, friendly gaze on him, there was a hint of mystery in his button eyes. It was a secret that only the stars and moon knew. At that moment, when the moon's silvery light covered the whole world, Teddy changed. At first, Teddy's soft body would move almost slowly as the night sky darkened and the first stars began to shine, as if in answer to a call from heaven. Then he would wake up, and with a stretch of his hairy limbs and a barely noticeable yawn, he would enter a world where he was alive. During that magic hour, the moonlight and thoughts turned the room into a theater where a story was told. Teddy moved with the flow of life, which gave his stiff arms a soft, elegant feel. His button eyes, which had been pretty before, now sparkled with mischievous interest. During these times, Teddy came to life. His very being was tied to the waves of the world at night. Every night, Teddy's adventures took place in a cute house that was a quiet place of refuge. Time had left its mark on the wooden beams, and each of the old things on the walls had its own story. Warm and welcoming, the room had lace curtains that let the silvery moonlight shine through and make beautiful patterns on the wooden floor. A loved, old rocking chair was set up next to the window. Its soft creaks blended in with the sound of the falling stars. Teddy's life grew up in this beautiful country setting. His life on the moon wasn't boring at all. It was a strange world where it was hard to tell what was possible and what was not. In the quiet of the night, Teddy went on adventures that most people could only make up for. As he went into the unknown, his reliable friend, the moon, kept watch over him. Its bright light guided him. Teddy went into worlds just outside the house, where it kept an eye on him. Behind the window was the magical forest, a mysterious place with old trees and hidden secrets. It drew him in with the promise of excitement and the promise of secrets just waiting to be found. As soon as Teddy set foot on the forest floor, he heard the sounds of nature, such as leaves rustling, insects singing, and even the occasional hoot of an old owl. Deep in this magical forest, Teddy met animals that were smart and funny. The wise old owl, who was a guardian of the night, gave him advice in the form of puzzles and proverbs. Teddy listened carefully and realized that the woods were full of secrets he could never have imagined. Teddy found a secret pond deeper in the woods. The surface of the pond was lit up by the soft, dreamy glow of fireflies. As these tiny animals danced on the smooth surface of the water, they made a sparkling light show. Teddy was amazed by how beautiful they were, so he started to dance with them, moving and shining in their company. The night was filled with the sound of the fireflies' laughter as they greeted him as one of them. They looked like tiny stars. Teddy did not only go on trips by himself. Along the way, he made friends with the forest's people. When Sammy, a friendly squirrel, was looking for his lost nuts, he met Teddy, who reminded him of himself. As a group, they went on a journey, putting a lot of acorns in Sammy's storehouse and getting closer to each other through kind acts. As Teddy's experiences in the enchanted woods went on, he started to think of it as his second home. Every night, something new happened that showed the magic that grew in the soft light of the moon. Teddy the teddy bear's life started in that cozy room at the top of the charming house. It was a story of wonder and magic, where the ordinary became magical and the moonlit hours promised endless adventures in the middle of a magical world. In the quiet of those moonlit nights, when the rest of the world was asleep and the moon was shining, Teddy's change was nothing short of magical. Teddy would wake up from a peaceful sleep as soon as he saw the moonlight shining through the lace curtains and giving the room a soft, dreamy glow. He would wake up with a feeling of excitement that was almost palpable. His moves were like a waltz of cotton padding and soft toys. It was amazing to see how the bear went from being a sleepy, cuddly animal to a lively, active soul. Teddy's furry limbs moved with an obvious grace, as if he were welcoming the endless possibilities of the night and shaking off the sleepiness of his daytime life. The dance was put together in complete silence, so that only the moon and the quietest night sounds could be heard. But the sparkle in Teddy's button eyes showed what Teddy's charm was really about. Those eyes no longer have the innocent look they had during the day. Instead, they have a mean look on them. They held the knowledge of many moonlit adventures, the promise of more crazy ones to come, and a whole world of secrets. Teddy finished his change with one last stretch and a yawn that seemed to match the quiet of the evening. He was no longer just a stuffed animal; he was now a live, breathing person who did cute things. He seemed to have taken on the power of the moonlight, giving him a vitality that went against the rules of the everyday world. When Teddy got out of bed, he felt like he was going into a dream world he had made himself. He walked lightly, almost ethereally, on the wooden floor with his velvety, smooth paws. The room that used to be his refuge and place of peace was now where he went to start his nighttime adventures. Every night held the promise of a new adventure or discovery, and Teddy's heart would beat faster as he got ready to go into the unknown. Teddy would jump across the room when he got more energy. He couldn't see what was making him act so silly. He jumped out of bed at a speed that didn't match his appearance of wealth. He landed with a soft, almost quiet thud, as if the air itself were cushioning his steps. Teddy's spirit of youth was most clear during these bursts of energy. Teddy's adventures at night took place in the room, which was lit by the soft, silvery light of the moon. During the day, the lace curtains let in just the right amount of light and cast beautiful patterns of light and shadow on the wooden floor. The walls were covered with old photos and items that looked like they were whispering stories from long ago that tied in with Teddy's own adventures. One of the most cherished things in the room was a well-loved rocking chair with curved wooden arms that had seen many hours of soothing motion. In the dark, the chair seemed to come to life. It swayed softly, as if it were filled with the same magic that Teddy was. Teddy's world became calmer when the chair creaked in a way that sounded like a song and went well with the music of the night. Teddy's magic, though, went beyond the walls of the room. Behind the window with the lace curtains was the door to his real playroom, a beautiful forest. The forest pulled him in with its old trees, each of which held secrets and told stories of the past through its bark. As soon as Teddy stepped onto the forest floor, he seemed to have left the everyday world behind. There were secrets, rhythms, and puzzles that could only be found in the magical forest. As Teddy went down, the sound of rustling leaves greeted him. Every step he took was an offer to find out about the secrets that were waiting for him. He was surrounded by the nighttime music of the forest, which included the soft rustling of leaves, the chirping of crickets, and the loud hoots of an old owl sitting in the trees. Deep in this magical world, Teddy met animals that were smart and funny. The wise old owl, a watcher of the night, welcomed Teddy with a knowing hoot, as if he knew Teddy was special in the world of moonlit adventures. Teddy paid close attention to the owl's secret information and realized that the forest was full of puzzles he had never thought of. Teddy found a secret pond deeper in the woods. The surface of the pond was lit up by the soft, dreamy glow of fireflies. These tiny organisms danced on the water's mirror-like surface like live lanterns, making a show of sparkling light. Teddy was amazed by how beautiful they were, so he started to dance with them, moving and shining in their company. The night was filled with the sound of the fireflies' laughter as they greeted him as one of them. They looked like tiny stars. Teddy did not go on his trips all by himself. Along the way, he made friends with the forest's people. When Sammy, a friendly squirrel, was looking for his lost nuts, he met Teddy, who reminded him of himself. Together, they went on a journey that led to a lot of acorns being put in Sammy's storehouse and made their friendship stronger through acts of kindness. Teddy's steady friend and the moon's watchful eye helped him get through these lovely nights. Its sparkling brightness lit its way and made the forest, and its people look like they were in heaven. Teddy, on the other hand, took the light of the moon as his own and let it guide him when he went exploring at night. So, Teddy's life turned into a fascinating story of magic and change in that small room at the top of the cottage, where the ordinary became special and the moonlit hours promised endless adventures at the center of a magical world. The soft glow of the moonlight gave the room an otherworldly beauty that made even the most ordinary things look a little bit magical. Now that Teddy was awake and aware, he became this charm. Under the light of the moon, his soft hair, which had been caressed with love all day, looked almost ethereal. It looked like it was covered in stardust, as if it had soaked up the light of the moon.
