Book Description
The sun of Tempus sets for the final time. Stars erupt. Meteors fall. Evil reigns. And Agnus' war has only just begun. In the walls of Magia, the blemished are sent to die for the benefit of the perishing world. There, a blemished slave girl suffers under the deranged hands of her guardian. But she holds onto a hope that not even the dark perversions of Magia can corrupt. As she becomes entangled in the plans of the mysterious Agnus Dayton, she begins to question whether she is really capable of rising above the nature of man and meeting Agnus’ lofty ideals. Are Agnus’ plans for good or evil?

Paroles d'Apollon
Author: Aude Busine
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 904741585X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 526
Book Description
This book deals with the making and the reuses of the divine words which were ascribed to Apollo from the 2nd to the 6th centuries AD and which have now become available in both epigraphical and literary sources. The larger part has been issued by the sanctuaries of Claros and Didyma. This comprehensive and historical approach analyses the oracles of Apollo according to the various contexts ancient authors used to resort to the sacred words. The first part of the book examines, in the context of the Graeco-Roman city-states, the oracular texts in relation to the sanctuaries where they had originally been produced. The second part explores the different ways in which the Apollinian oracles were reappropriated by pagan and Christian authors for philosophical, polemical and apologetic purposes. This study of the sacred texts reveals in an original manner the cultural, political, and religious life of pagans and Christians in the Roman Empire.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 500
Book Description
Magia is an apocryphon or 'secret book' delivered by Alan Chapman to a small group of students on retreat in Pelion, Greece, in May 2019. The book is the rebirth of a tradition most famously known as Gnosticism at the beginning of the Christian era, and more recently as Magick as this period came to an end. The book is made up of twelve teachings that describe the mysteries, the true earth, our relationship with the ancestors and our place in creation, along with detailed instructions in Magia practice and an account of how the book came to be.

The Theban Oracle
Author: Jenkins, Greg
Publisher: Weiser Books
ISBN: 1578635497
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Like Runes, The Theban Oracle is a unique and singular writing system, or more appropriately, an alphabet-codex that is based on the ancient magical writings devised by the 14th century magi, Honorius of Thebes. It was later utilized as an oracle by such masters of the occult sciences as Henry Cornelius Agrippa, Petrus de Abano and Dr. John Dee among other medieval and renaissance contemporaries of high magick. The Theban code-writing system appeared to go dormant until 1801, when Englishman Francis Barrett brought this and other esoteric aspects of magick back into vogue. It was later re-discovered by Gerald Gardner in the 1930s, where it caught on in select covens and metaphysical circles.

The Devil's Tabernacle
Author: Anthony Ossa-Richardson
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400846595
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
The Devil's Tabernacle is the first book to examine in depth the intellectual and cultural impact of the oracles of pagan antiquity on modern European thought. Anthony Ossa-Richardson shows how the study of the oracles influenced, and was influenced by, some of the most significant developments in early modernity, such as the Christian humanist recovery of ancient religion, confessional polemics, Deist and libertine challenges to religion, antiquarianism and early archaeology, Romantic historiography, and spiritualism. Ossa-Richardson examines the different views of the oracles since the Renaissance--that they were the work of the devil, or natural causes, or the fraud of priests, or finally an organic element of ancient Greek society. The range of discussion on the subject, as he demonstrates, is considerably more complex than has been realized before: hundreds of scholars, theologians, and critics commented on the oracles, drawing on a huge variety of intellectual contexts to frame their beliefs. In a central chapter, Ossa-Richardson interrogates the landmark dispute on the oracles between Bernard de Fontenelle and Jean-François Baltus, challenging Whiggish assumptions about the mechanics of debate on the cusp of the Enlightenment. With erudition and an eye for detail, he argues that, on both sides of the controversy, to speak of the ancient oracles in early modernity was to speak of one's own historical identity as a Christian.
