Kabbalah and Sex Magic: A Mythical-Ritual Genealogy (Magic in History)
By Marla Segol. 2021
In this provocative book, Marla Segol explores the development of the kabbalistic cosmology underlying Western sex magic. Drawing extensively on…
Jewish myth and ritual, Segol tells the powerful story of the relationship between the divine and the human body in late antique Jewish esotericism, in medieval kabbalah, and in New Age ritual practice.Kabbalah and Sex Magic traces the evolution of a Hebrew microcosm that models the powerful interaction of human and divine bodies at the heart of both kabbalah and some forms of Western sex magic. Focusing on Jewish esoteric and medical sources from the fifth to the twelfth century from Byzantium, Persia, Iberia, and southern France, Segol argues that in its fully developed medieval form, kabbalah operated by ritualizing a mythos of divine creation by means of sexual reproduction. She situates in cultural and historical context the emergence of Jewish cosmological models for conceptualizing both human and divine bodies and the interactions between them, arguing that all these sources position the body and its senses as the locus of culture and the means of reproducing it. Segol explores the rituals acting on these models, attending especially to their inherent erotic power, and ties these to contemporary Western sex magic, showing that such rituals have a continuing life. Asking questions about its cosmology, myths, and rituals, Segol poses even larger questions about the history of kabbalah, the changing conceptions of the human relation to the divine, and even the nature of religious innovation itself. This groundbreaking book will appeal to students and scholars of Jewish studies, religion, sexuality, and magic.No tienes que ser una persona llena de energía para alcanzar el éxito, encontrar amor o ganarte la vida.

Originally a divination manual based on trigrams and hexagrams, by the beginning of the first millennium it had acquired written explanations and a series of appendices attributed to Confucius, which transformed it into a work of wisdom literature as well as divination. Over the centuries, hundreds of commentaries were written on it, but for the past thousand years, one of the most influential has been that of Zhu Xi (1130–1200), who synthesized the major interpretive approaches to the text and integrated it into his system of moral self-cultivation.Joseph A. Adler’s translation of the Yijing includes for the first time in English Zhu Xi’s commentary in full. Adler explores Zhu Xi’s interpretation of the text and situates it in the context of his overall theoretical system. Zhu Xi held that the Yijing was originally composed for the purpose of divination by the mythic sage Fuxi, who intended to create a system to aid decision making. The text’s meaning, therefore, could not be captured by a single commentator; it would emerge for each person through the process of divination. This translation makes available to the English-language audience a crucial text in the history of Chinese religion and philosophy, with an introduction and translator’s notes that explain its intellectual and historical context.Dall' altro lato della luna

By Dave McAllen. 2021
En esta generación que define la obsesión por los consejos, un gran autor se abre camino para mostrarnos cómo dejar…
de intentar ser "perfectos" todo el tiempo para que podamos alcanzar nuestro máximo potencial y ser personas más felices. La historia ha estado repleta de consejos para actuar, comportarse y hacer las cosas perfectamente, logrados a través de la imitación de mentores. Por lo tanto, existen jueces y profetas que dicen si te irá bien en la vida, si sobresaldrás en una carrera y qué es lo que tienes. Pero Dave tiene hechos crudos y una verdad refrescante para ti: "Gobierna tu destino tú mismo". Cómo lograr tus sueños y metas es su antídoto para la mentalidad mimada y libre de prejuicios que ha infectado al mundo y reconfigurado una generación, beneficiándola con cada perla de alto valor. Dave no está de acuerdo en que, corroborado tanto por la investigación histórica como por ejemplos oportunos, que la gente de éxito se convierta en lo que es hoy depende no de la capacidad de los patrocinadores y los conocedores para predecir nuestro destino con precisión, sino de aprender a descubrirse a sí mismo y mantenerse centrado en nuestros sueños. Todos los humanos tienen debilidades y defectos, con pérdidas y ganancias, altas y bajas, grandes y pequeñas - no todos podemos llegar a ser sobresalientes y grandes. Pero es un desastre mayor si se cambia la dirección natural de nuestra vida. Dave nos aconseja que hagamos un estudio profundo de nosotros mismos para empezar a ser justos con lo que estamos hechos para ser. Una vez hecho esto, abraza tu personalidad en general y deja de poner tu destino en manos de otras personas, ya sean tus compañeros, padres, profesores, etc. Construye el valor, evita los sentimientos, mantente concentrado, sé agresivo y nunca te disculpes.Come Realizzare i Vostri Sogni e Obiettivi
By Dave McAllen. 2021
In questo consiglio-ossessione che definisce la generazione, un autore importante passa attraverso tutte le schifezze per mostrarci come smettere di…
cercare di essere costantemente "perfetti", in modo che possiamo raggiungere il nostro pieno potenziale ed essere persone più felici. La storia è piena di consigli su come agire, comportarsi e fare tutto alla perfezione, raggiunti attraverso l'imitazione di un mentore. Così, ci sono giudici e veggenti che stabiliscono se si farà fortuna nella vita, se si eccellerà in una carriera e quant'altro. Ma Dave vi presenta la cruda realtà e la confortante verità: “Rule your destiny yourself”. “Come realizzare i vostri sogni e obiettivi” è il suo antidoto alla mentalità viziata e priva di sentimenti che ha infettato il mondo e riconfigurato una generazione, avvantaggiandoli con ogni dritta di grande pregio. Dave non è d'accordo sul fatto che, corroborato sia da ricerche storiche che da esempi accurati, le persone di successo diventino quello che sono oggi dipenda, non dalla capacità dei padrini e degli esperti di prevedere con precisione il nostro destino, ma dall'imparare a conoscere sé stessi e rimanere concentrati sui propri sogni. Tutti gli esseri umani hanno debolezze e mancanze con perdenti e vincitori, alti e bassi, grandi e piccole - non tutti noi possiamo diventare eccezionali e bravissimi. Ma se la direzione naturale della nostra vita viene cambiata, diventa un disastro ancora più grande. Dave ci consiglia di fare uno studio approfondito su noi stessi in modo da poter essere fedeli verso ciò che siamo stati destinati a diventare. Una volta fatto questo, abbracciate la vostra personalità di fondo e smettete di mettere il vostro destino nelle mani di altre persone - siano essi vostri coetanei, genitori, insegnanti, ecc. fatevi coraggio, evitate i sentimenti, rimanete concentrati, siate agguerriti e non vi rammaricate mai.The Magic of Tarot: A Modern Guide to the Classic Art of the Cards

and the Boxgrove Manual. Frank Klaassen uses these texts, which he argues are representative of the overwhelming majority of magical practitioners, to explain how magic changed during this period and why these developments were crucial to the formation of modern magic.The Boxgrove Manual is a work of learned ritual magic that synthesizes material from Henry Cornelius Agrippa, the Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy, Heptameron, and various medieval conjuring works. The Antiphoner Notebook concerns the common magic of treasure hunting, healing, and protection, blending medieval conjuring and charm literature with materials drawn from Reginald Scot’s famous anti-magic work, Discoverie of Witchcraft. Klaassen painstakingly traces how the scribes who created these two manuscripts adapted and transformed their original sources. In so doing, he demonstrates the varied and subtle ways in which the Renaissance, the Reformation, new currents in science, the birth of printing, and vernacularization changed the practice of magic.Illuminating the processes by which two sixteenth-century English scribes went about making a book of magic, this volume provides insight into the wider intellectual culture surrounding the practice of magic in the early modern period.The I Ching or Book of Changes: Or Book Of Changes (Bollingen Series #170)
By Richard Wilhelm. 1968
The bestselling English translation of the ancient classic of Chinese divination that has inspired millions with its timeless insights into…
the changing nature of all existenceThe I Ching, or Book of Changes, has exerted a living influence in China for thousands of years. Today, it continues to enrich the lives of readers around the world. First set down in the dawn of history as a book of oracles, it grew into a book of wisdom with the inclusion of commentaries on its oracular pronouncements, eventually becoming one of the Five Classics of Confucianism and providing a common source for both Confucianist and Taoist philosophy. This edition of the I Ching is the most authoritative and complete translation available, preserving the spirit of the ancient text while providing a vital key for anyone who seeks to live harmoniously with the immutable law of change.The book presents the sixty-four hexagrams of the I Ching along with their texts and interpretations in a format especially designed for easy reference. Unlike many editions of the I Ching, it also features the Ten Wings, supplemental writings traditionally ascribed to Confucius that provide indispensable insights into the symbolic structure of the hexagrams and their place in a cosmology where change is the only constant.With an illuminating foreword by C. G. Jung and an informative introduction by Richard Wilhelm, this beautiful edition of the I Ching shares the essence of wisdom and a true understanding of life.Extra Sensory is a pop-science look at the untapped abilities of human beings, from ESP to Telekenesis and other real…
life sciences that are currently being studied today, from physicist Brian Clegg. We'd all love to have 'psi' abilities like telepathy, telekinesis, and remote viewing. But is there any solid evidence to back up these talents, or are they nothing more than fantasy? We still only understand a small percentage of the capabilities of the human brain—and we shouldn't dismiss such potential powers out of hand. Although there is no doubt that many who claim these abilities are frauds, and no one has yet won James Randi's $1M prize for demonstrating ESP under lab conditions, we still have a Nobel prize winner suggesting a mechanism for telepathy, serious scientists researching the field and university projects that produced potentially explosive results. What's the verdict? By looking at possible physical mechanisms for ESP and taking in the best scientific evidence, the reader can discover if this is all wishful thinking and deception, or a fascinating reality. The truth is out there.The Universe Is Calling You: Connecting with Essence to Live with Positive Energy, Love, and Power
