Azoth

I'm trying to find out all I can on 'Azoth' as a term, ideology, ect. I understand the word as it is used in alchemy and know the illustration of the 7 pointed star in Basil Valentine's Azoth of the Philosophers, but I can find almost NO information on the book itself or any copy of it ( Read more... )

Magical Reads

While I was whiling away a virus this weekend, I happened to randomly pick up and read 2 different fictional books that included fairly useful views of psychic talent, ceremonial and other magic: The Adept by Kurtz and Turner, and The Inheritor by M. Z. Bradley. The interesting thing about these books is that, among all the expected drama, they ( Read more... )

Blood magic

I've never tried using my own blood (or anyone else's) in ritual before. And there's not much said about the practice, or written for that matter. So I've a few questions I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me with. Assuming that you've used blood in ritual before ( Read more... )

My women't mysteries group is planning on working with the bonds of friendship between women. Usually we use a myth as a basis for the work. The problem is that I can't think of any stories of femanine friendship. All of the stories I know of involve Goddesses generally being catty or competative or jealous with eachother. This is the exact ( Read more... )

Hello, I'm new to this community and as well(somewhat)new to Paganism...I'm trying to stay as far away from "fluffiness" as I can..I'm doing research and stuff but what I'm worried about is if I might be leaning the wrong things(the worrying actually came from an earlier post about 'bad books' that i read)..so since you guys actually seem to know ( Read more... )

Book query

the_old_soul wrote in pagan_antifluff Feb 03, 2006 21:51

Horribly vague again I know, but I'm after a comprehensive bit-of-everything. I'm essentially after Pagan books that are not a 101 or an ABC. Material that may follow that same style is fine, as long as it delves a bit deeper than "this is an Athame. This is a wand ( Read more... )

Magick/craft names

the_old_soul wrote in pagan_antifluff Jan 17, 2006 18:02

Or whatever you want to call them. I've seen a fair bit of snark around recently about the issue of craft names, and I'm wondering who reading this identifies with a "magick name," and if so, how did you come by it? If not, what are your reasons against the practice ( Read more... )
