Download or read book The Celtic Golden Dawn written by John Michael Greer and published by Llewellyn Worldwide. This book was released on 2013-02-08 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, Celtic groups descending from the famed Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn pioneered a fascinating form of ceremonial magic invoking Pagan Celtic powers instead of relying on the more commonly used Judeo-Christian names and symbols. Those groups disappeared many decades ago, and their teachings were lost. But today, their legacy has been reborn. Respected occult author and Grand Archdruid John Michael Greer has re-created a complete magical system based on the Celtic Golden Dawn traditions. This new book provides students with a complete curriculum of Druidical magic and occult wisdom, including training in ceremonial magic, meditation, pathworking, divination, geomancy, and herbal alchemy, allowing self-initiation into the three degrees of Ovate, Bard, and Druid. Structured to resemble a long-lost correspondence course, The Celtic Golden Dawn presents a series of knowledge lectures, meditations, and rituals leading to mastery of the most important magical techniques.
Download or read book The Way of the Four Elements written by John Michael Greer and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A one year course for students of the occult to expand their horizons through the study of fire, air, water, and earth. Based on an ancient understanding of the cycles of nature, John Michael Greer invites students of occult to continue their training with the study of the four elements. The four elements are one of the foremost themes of Western occult tradition and have been used across history as a basic template for the process of initiation and seasonal ritual. The pattern of study assigns each element to one of the four seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn, winter), based upon traditional associations. The lessons are intended to be worked through in sync with each season, and there is no fixed starting point so students can begin with any of the four elements by following whichever season begins next. Each chapter includes both the theory and practice of an elemental education such as symbols and teachings relating to the elements, suggestions for further reading, exercises for awakening the etheric senses, and astral clairvoyance. The Way of the Four Elements is the quintessential next step for students of the occult to continue developing and honing the skills essential for a magical education.
Download or read book The Heathen Golden Dawn written by Isaac Hill and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and complete curriculum of Heathen ceremonial magic. This foundational textbook contains a complete curriculum of occult training, for the serious student of ceremonial magic. The Golden Dawn system has been the most influential of the modern magic schools, inspiring many thousands of spiritual seekers across the world, but its Judeo-Christian religious framework has made it more difficult for modern polytheists. Taking the cue from John Michael Greer's The Celtic Golden Dawn, and with his blessing, this book uses the Golden Dawn magical system in a Heathen context with three tracks for the Anglo-Saxon, Norse and modern Heathen, as well as the formula for additional tracks. The course of study goes through four grades, "Thrall", "Karl", "Jarl" and "Konr", leading the student systematically from the foundations to complex ritual magic, all the while integrating and internalizing traditional lore. By the end of the course, the magician will be competent in rune magic, Heathen herbalism and herbal magic, magical brewing, planetary magic, amulet consecration, the Heathen cabala, in addition to rituals of transformation, invisibility, conjuration and self-initiation.

Download or read book Inside a Magical Lodge written by John Michael Greer and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2021-03-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, magical lodges have been one of the most important and least understood parts of the Western esoteric traditions. The traditional secrecy of lodge organizations has made it next to impossible for modern students of magic to learn what magical lodges do, and how their powerful and effective traditions of ritual, symbolism and organization can be put to work. This updated and expanded edition of Inside a Magical Lodge reveals the foundations of lodge work on all levels-from the framework of group structure that allows lodges to efficiently handle the practical needs of a working magical group, through the subtle approaches to symbolism and ritual developed within lodge circles, to the potent magical methods that lodges use in their initiations and other ceremonial workings. It is a must-read for members of existing lodges, for students of magical traditions such as the Golden Dawn, for practitioners of other kinds of group magical work and for all those who have wondered about the hidden world behind lodge doors.
Download or read book By Names and Images written by Peregin Wildoak and published by Skylight Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Dawn (GD) system of magic is the main source of the esoteric and magical wisdom and techniques practiced in the West today. While the rituals and bare teachings of the tradition have been published for sixty years, the inner workings and esoteric keys that empower those rituals have largely remained unpublished or unexplored in contemporary works. By Names and Images remedies this lack by providing detailed and clear instructions for the visualisations, spiritual connections and energetic practices required for every major GD practice and ritual, as well as several unpublished techniques. Focusing on the meanings and use of sacred names and practical techniques of visualisation, the book thoroughly explores meditation and divination, purification ritual, invocation and evocation, grades of initiation, and direct experience of the inner realms. Also covered is an explanation of the Qabalah and its use as a magical framework. While the book is sufficiently practical and clearly explained to be of huge benefit to a newcomer to magic, its primary aim is to allow people already practicing the Golden Dawn system to do so more effectively, and to be touched by the amazing spiritual blessings the rituals offer.

Download or read book The Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye written by Jay Weidner and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-12-10 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decodes the message inscribed on the Great Cross of Hendaye in France • Uses the work of 20th-century alchemist Fulcanelli to predict the date of the fatal season of the apocalypse • Shows how periodic galactic alignments may cause catastrophes on Earth • Examines how the secret of the center of the galaxy reveals the true location of the lost civilization of Atlantis • Reveals the alchemical secret of the imperishable Light Body of ancient Egypt deep within our DNA The Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye reveals one of Western occultism's deepest secrets: The alchemical transformation of base metal into gold is also the transformation of the current Iron Age into the Golden Age. Based on the work of the enigmatic 20th-century alchemist Fulcanelli, authors Weidner and Bridges show how the greatest alchemical secret is that of time itself and that coded into an obscure monument in southwestern France--the cross in the town square of Hendaye--is the imminent date of the apocalypse. The authors' explorations of this symbolism lead them from the cross of Hendaye to the western facade of the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, the Pyrenees, ancient Egypt, and the secret origins of Atlantis in Peru, to reveal that we are indeed living in a "fatal season" and that this season is intimately connected to our solar system's alignment with the galactic center. The authors' in-depth examination of alchemy's connection with the coming end days also reveals that this astro-alchemical knowledge was part of the sacred science of the Egyptians and the Atlanteans, whose coded messages are, at last, deciphered to guide humanity to its future destiny.
