NEW BOOKS (ORGANIZED BY TITLE)
Instant Magick

$13 - Instant Magick by Penczak, Christopher - This is not a simple book of spells. It does not ask you to chant a few words, light a few candles, and sit back and wait for your life to change overnight. Most of the time, real magick doesn’t work that way. Instant Magick is a different kind of spellbook. Its ingredients are intangible, but just as effective as common magickal props, and correspond to the traditional colors, candles, herbs, and stones found in many spells. They don’t involve complicated rituals or fancy magickal tools. But the invaluable techniques you’ll learn can produce the same or even more powerful results than more traditional magickal techniques, with one huge advantage - they’re always accessible, at any time or any place. paperback 204 pgs.

Kitchen Witchery

$25 - Kitchen Witchery by Daniel Marilyn - A complete compendium of more than 400 magical recipes, this book includes formulas for oils, soaps, incenses as well as for food and drink. Arranged in easy-to-use sections the recipes here will serve the reader well for everyday and special occasions. It`s like having a high priestess in your kitchen cupboard -- always on call to help you make magic for healing, soothsaying, protections, celebration and nourishment. If a practitioner could only have one book this one should be it. Paperback, 274 pages.

Magic of Shapeshifting

$17 - Magic of Shapeshifting - Greene - This unique book helps you realize your potential for being a shape-shifter. Detailed explanations about how the various forms of shifting occur, the author shows you how to distinguish powerful visions, anxiety attacks and imagination from real shifting, as well as how to recognize the warning signs of an imminent shift. Shape Shifting is a spiritual journey, a very tough one, but very rewarding, linking us with both the fundamental power of animals and with the higher self. It has a purpose and reality far beyond simply using shifter abilities for earthly benefits; it can lead us through the unseen veil that separates us from ourselves. Paperback, 258 pgs.

$10 - Magickal Household by Cunningham & Harrington - This intelligently written, simply explained book will give you a great deal of practical information on creating your own magical household without a lot of extraneous nonsense.

Magickal Mermaids

$16 - Magickal Mermaids by Conway - Stories of the mer-folk, especially mermaids, have fascinated humans for thousands of years and exist in nearly every culture around the world that sailed the oceans or large rivers. Because the largest of these beings exist in oceans, most people are not aware of the smaller versions of mer-folk that live in inland rivers, streams, marshes, and waterfalls. Like many other magickal beings, the mermaids travel easily between this world and the astral planes, appearing only to those who truly seek to know them and learn their ancient powers. Within these pages you will learn about: The secret powers of mermaids and mermen different water creatures and where to find them. How to entice water folk for friendship and guidance.

Mazzaroth

$45 - Mazzaroth Constellations by Rolleston, Frances - The idiosyncratic ideas expressed in the four parts of Mazzaroth, and its appendix Mizraim, are all based on solid research-misapplied, perhaps, in light of Rolleston's steadfast Christian outlook, but fully documented and with sources quoted length. The whole work provides the reader with an amazing compendium of obscure material on ancient mythology, symbolism, and etymology, with comprehensive biblical references and a wealth of learned and detailed footnotes. Much of the information is set out in a tabular form that inevitably reminds the reader of S. L. MacGregor Mathers's book of correspondences that we know as 777. And this may not be coincidental. Foreword by R. A. Gilbert. Fold-out insert.

Moon Magic

$15 - Moon Magic by Fortune, Dion - This is a continuation of Vivien Le Fay Morgan`s story, started in Sea Priestess. As the author put it, "she would not lie quiet in her grave" so she gave her another voice in Moon Magic. A classic in occult literature, required reading for many Magickal students.

Veil's Edge

$15 - Veil's Edge by Willow Polson - Witchcraft, especially Wicca, has reached the age of maturity. At a recent women’s festival in California, over 20 women declared themselves to be Crones at a special ceremony. Many Witches are now second or even third generation practitioners, and it has been over 20 years since many first generation Witches started out with Starhawk’s "The Spiral Dance" or Buckland’s "Complete Book of Witchcraft." But where are the books for the experienced Witch? The shelves are flooded with "Wicca 101" books, and many readers are desperate for more advanced concepts beyond the basics of casting a circle and calling the quarters. Not simply a "Wicca 201" book, The Veil’s Edge discusses more unfamiliar and abstract concepts of magic and Witchcraft, including:
• The Veil between the worlds and how it works
• Direct contact with the Divine and how to handle it, including direct possession experiences
• Ecstatic worship techniques and shamanism
• Fae magic techniques, including the use of glamourie
• Explorations into the illusiory nature of reality
• Group dynamics and working with different kinds of energy flows
• Scientific proof that magic works, backed up with case-by-case evidence
• ntuitive magic: Allowing yourself to sense and believe
Readers are introduced to these topics through the author’s personal experiences and interviews with other Witches that have been practicing for many years. Anyone who considers themselves an experienced magic worker will appreciate this essential book which fills a genuine need within the maturing Pagan community.
