Book Description
Back in 2002 Mr. Wraithe had produced a manual of Magick that surprised even the oldest of veterans in the craft. A book so powerful that it was banned for almost six straight years because of the nature of the spells listed within. He has put together 113 of the most powerful spells ever combined for everyone who wishes to practice in the forbidden regions of magick, whether they be on the dark or light paths of the spectrum. This book was only available for a very limited time back in 2002 and then taken off the shelves in 2003 due to the massive effects the spells created. For the first time in a long and overdue six years, I present to you Il Libro Della Magia Book 1 of the Magia Series.

Music and Esotericism
Author: Laurence Wuidar
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004182799
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
This collection of essays analyzes the relationships that exist between esotericism and music from Antiquity to the 20th century, investigating ways in which magic, astrology, alchemy, divination, and cabbala interact with music. The volume seeks to dissolve artificial barriers between the history of art, music, science, and intellectual history by establishing an interdisciplinary dialogue about music as viewed against a specific cultural background. The synthesis of scientific and historical contexts with respect to music, explored here on a large scale for the first time, opens up a wealth of new approaches to music historical research, music performance, and musical composition. Each chapter presents either a unique example of music functioning within esoteric and scientific traditions or a demonstration of the influence of those traditions upon selected musical works. L’ouvrage analyse les relations entre l’ésotérisme et la musique de l’Antiquité au 20ème siècle étudiant comment la magie, l’astrologie, l’alchimie, la divination et la cabale ont interagit avec la musique. Il vise à dépasser les frontières entre l’histoire de l’art, l’histoire de la musique et l’histoire des sciences et des idées afin de nouer un dialogue interdisciplinaire sur la musique autour de contextes historiques et scientifiques précis. L’ouvrage offre une première synthèse sur les rapports entre ésotérisme et musique ainsi que diverses pistes de recherche à poursuivre.

The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage
Author: Samuel L MacGregor Mathers
Publisher: Cosimo, Inc.
ISBN: 1616402555
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage-originally published in 1900, translated by Samuel Mathers from a 15th-century French document-was purportedly written by Abraham for his son Lamech. Within this volume are three books. The first book is Abraham's autobiography in which he speaks to his son. The second book is an explanation of the purification rituals necessary to bring the magician's personal demon under his control. And the third book details what feats can be accomplished once the practitioner is able to use a form of magic controlled and directed through sigils of magic words written on a grid. Anyone with an interest in the occult will find this an interesting, though perhaps impractical, guide for exploring mystic arts.

Book Description
Giuseppe Tartini è un giovane violinista che come tanti, per realizzare i propri sogni, è posto davanti al dilemma se seguire la via più giusta per raggiungerli o affidarsi a percorsi più rapidi, ma oscuri. All'inizio del XVIII secolo egli si impossessa, con l'inganno, di alcuni spartiti musicali, dando così inizio ad una vita di grandi successi, ma travagliata. L'intelligenza e l'intraprendenza gli consentiranno di progredire negli studi della più varia natura, tra cui la Magia e la Teurgia, e quindi di scoprire il segreto per non morire. Molti anni dopo, la vita del conte decaduto, Andrè D'Aguilles, attento studioso di antropologia del Sud-est europeo, viene sconvolta dalle Guerre Napoleoniche. Audace ufficiale di cavalleria verrà involontariamente risucchiato nella terribile Crisi di Vampirismo che sconvolgeva l'area carpato-balcanico-danubiana. Fra Moravia, Regno d'Ungheria e Balkan selvaggio, fra indovinelli, saggi ebrei sefarditi, duelli, dolore, morte, sangue e folklore si sviluppa la caccia al misterioso Signore dei Vampiri. Tartini, Paganini e Andrè simboleggiano il Male e il Bene, e le scelte che fin da giovani si è chiamati a fare.

Book Description
This is the book of Shape-shifting. Being an ex-member of the Golden Dawn and climbing in the ranks of knowledge, I had learned many things that are kept hidden from the public. One among many forms of knowledge is using methods and meditations that revolve around the Morphic Fields of our own body to increase change in us and in our world. That being, I had summoned sources through invocation and evocation learned through the Golden Dawn to insure these sources as fact. As you can see, the book lies before you in pristine paperback form. The secrets that lie within can be yours if you want them. All you need is the desire to claim what is rightfully yours.

A Criminal Hero
Author: Pasquale Palmieri
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040119190
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
In the spring of 1757, the Augustinian friar Leopoldo di San Pasquale was tried in Naples by the hierarchies of his own religious order on charges of financial fraud, heresy, and sexual immorality. He responded by accusing the heads of the convent of subjecting him to a series of inhuman cruelties, claiming to have been "buried alive". While waiting for a final judgment (it was pronounced seven years later, in 1764), the trial of Leopoldo di San Pasquale became a cultural phenomenon unlike any witnessed before in Naples. Cumulatively, reactions to the trial, both during and after it, broke the boundaries separating chronicle and literary fiction, engaged people’s faculties of reason and emotion, and ultimately transformed Leopoldo into a public spectacle—or what we might call today a “celebrity.” Focusing on the scandalous affair of the "buried alive", this book shows how the governing authorities in Naples managed the development of news and stories around current events through their systems of courts and bureaucracies. It also aims to demonstrate how, just as importantly, consumers played an increasing in the spread of information, as means to political empowerment. The sources analyzed call for a microhistorical analysis, as well as for an interdisciplinary discussion with media studies at its conceptual core. A Criminal Hero will appeal to students and scholars alike interested in microhistory, cultural history, media history, history of literature, social and political history, with a focus on the eighteenth century.

The Science of Naples
Author: Lorenza Gianfrancesco
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1800086733
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Long neglected in the history of Renaissance and early modern Europe, in recent years scholars have revised received understanding of the political and economic significance of the city of Naples and its rich artistic, musical and political culture. Its importance in the history of science, however, has remained relatively unknown. The Science of Naples provides the first dedicated study of Neapolitan scientific culture in the English language. Drawing on contributions from leading experts in the field, this volume presents a series of studies that demonstrate Neapolitans’ manifold contributions to European scientific culture in the early modern period and considers the importance of the city, its institutions and surrounding territories for the production of new knowledge. Individual chapters demonstrate the extent to which Neapolitan scholars and academies contributed to debates within the Republic of Letters that continued until deep into the nineteenth century. They also show how studies of Neapolitan natural disasters yielded unique insights that contributed to the development of fields such as medicine and earth sciences. Taken together, these studies resituate the city of Naples as an integral part of an increasingly globalised scientific culture, and present a rich and engaging portrait of the individuals who lived, worked and made scientific knowledge there.
