Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Behind closed doors and between black and white pillars, generations of magicians sought to understand the hidden architecture of the Universe. In Literary Necromancer: Magicians and Temples, Melissa Seims ventures into the rich and often overlooked history of Britain's magical traditions. Drawing upon more than twenty years of research - and her own experience as a practising occultist - she explores the people, rituals, symbols and extraordinary spaces through which Western magic was preserved, transformed and passed on. From the Golden Dawn and the mysteries of Rosicrucianism to alchemy, initiation, and the intersections between ceremonial magic and modern Witchcraft, these essays follow a web of influence stretching across generations. Along the way we encounter Doreen Valiente, Gerald Gardner, Margaret Bruce, Thomas Henry Pattinson, and the unforgettable John Upton, as well as near-forgotten magicians whose traces survive in letters, not Elektronisches Buch, ritual objects and long-hidden archives. The journey eventually leads north to the rediscovery of artefacts from Bradford's Victorian Golden Dawn Temple Horus No. 5, the remarkable temples of the August Order of Light, and a magical inheritance that remained quietly in private hands for more than a century. Part occult history, part personal journey and part historical resurrection, this is literary necromancing: following the light left behind by magicians, and opening the doors on their near-forgotten temples. Also included for the first time in print is 'Undine' a fictional short story by Israel Regardie.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Some histories are written. Others have to be conjured back into life. For more than twenty years, Melissa Seims has followed the trails left behind by the witches, magicians, and occultists of the past - through forgotten archives, private letters, old photographs, magical artefacts and the memories of those who knew them. In Literary Necromancer: Witches and Witchcraft, Melissa Seims brings together a remarkable collection of investigations into the hidden history of modern Witchcraft and magic. Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente, Alex Sanders, Charles Clark, and the mysterious Coven of Atho appear alongside lesser-known figures whose stories had almost slipped from view. Along the way lie Witch Wars, lost Books of Shadows, magical swords, secret covens, disputed histories, curious artefacts, and more than a few unexpected rabbit holes. Written with the eye of a researcher and the insight of a practising witch and occultist, these histories are concerned not with preserving legends, but with asking what the surviving evidence can actually tell us. This is literary necromancing: calling the forgotten back into the light and allowing them to tell their stories once more.…

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. This compelling account of eccentricity and Witchcraft in the 1950s and 60s revolves around two principal characters: 'Rex Nemorensis' (Charles Cardell), son of an internationally famous Victorian stage magician, and Ray Howard, owner of the Head of Atho - a representation of the Horned God of the Witches reputedly over 2000-years-old. From the luxury of his country estate, Cardell trod his own unique path of modern Witchcraft, the reality of which was e ectively put on trial in a High Court libel case brought against a major newspaper, following an article by two reporters who had hidden near Charles' sacred Grove. What they witnessed, would change Cardell's life forever. This book, based on new research, explores their fascinating lives and examines their writings and relationships with other witches including Gerald Gardner and Doreen Valiente. For the first time, the writings of the Coven of Atho are reproduced. They reveal its previously hidden gems and provide a workable form of Witchcraft blended with Druidic influences. The glistening strands of this story are woven into the larger history of the origins of modern Witchcraft in Britain. Here be Magick. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 864.…
