Book Description
An extension of every Witch's spirituality, spellcraft is a vital tool for sparking significant life change. And when you attune your magick to planetary energies, it becomes infinitely more powerful. Organized by the Sun, Moon, and planets, each of the 55 spells and rituals in this book are aligned according to astrological energies and designed to be easily customized for your specific intention and unique spiritual path. From personal growth to practical concerns, you'll find a rich variety of dark and light magickal workings for every purpose: Glamoury Healing childhood wounds Revealing truth Halting gossip Attracting love Mending quarrels Banishing heartache Ending addictions Cursing a violator Breaking a curse Cord-cutting Summoning ancestors Guiding the dead and dying Weather magick Prophetic dreaming Scrying Spiritual rebirth Past-life regression Included is a list of zodiacal and astrological correspondences—Sun sign, Moon sign, day of the week, mythical archetypes, themes, and more—to help you determine the best times to work magick. Praise: "Masterful and compassionate...Planetary Spells & Rituals provides food for thought, spells and rituals for use, and is a welcome, much-needed addition to any spellcaster's bookshelf."—Judika Illes, author of The Encyclopedia of 5,000 Spells "Planetary Spells & Rituals is an urban, modern, and cutting-edge manual for those willing to explore the layers of magickal possibility within. Raven expresses the essence of the Craft in a clear way, and balance is a great theme of this book. The framework of Planetary Spells is quite informative for those seeking some strong workings to bring forth realistic results."—Michael W. Ford, Author of Luciferian Witchcraft and The Bible of the Adversary "Unlike most spellbooks, which focus on the moon, Planetary Spells & Rituals places major importance on zodiacal and planetary influences, with the power of the sun playing a pivotal role. Eclectic and unusual spells are accompanied by sensible explanations of how spells work and how to cast them well. As always, Raven takes an old standard and makes it new and fresh, with a magickal approach all his own."—Deborah Blake, author of The Everyday Witch A to Z Spellbook and The Goddess is in the Details "With his usual depth, clarity, and highly readable style, Raven Digitalis reveals yet another layer we can add to our magic's efficacy and power—perfect timing! This, in addition to many creative and practical ideas for spellwork, renders Planetary Spells & Rituals a must-have for any Witchy library."—Thuri Calafia, author of Dedicant: A Witch's Circle of Fire "With great understanding Raven takes his readers into previously uncharted territory as Planetary Spells dives deep into the nuances of astrology, dark and light magick, and weaves together a unique and much-needed volume explaining the connections between them."—Corvis Nocturnum, author of Embracing the Darkness, Understanding Dark Subcultures, and Allure of the Vampire; Our Sexual Attraction to the Undead

A comprehensive course of self-initiation using Israel Regardie's seminal Golden Dawn as a key reference point, Kabbalah, Magic and the Great Work of Self-Transformation guides you through the levels of the Golden Dawn system of ritual magic. Each grade in this system corresponds with a sphere in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and includes daily rituals, required reading, written assignments, projects, and additional exercises. Knowledgeable and true to tradition, author Lyam Thomas Christopher presents a well-grounded and modern step-by-step program toward spiritual attainment, providing a lucid gateway toward a more awakened state.
