Book Description
Learn the secrets of wandmaking and gain a powerful new tool for magical workings of all sorts. This enchanting, one-of-a-kind guidebook is for anyone who's ever wanted to know how magic wands work or longed to have a real magic wand of his or her own. Written by the foremost authority on the making of wands, this book is the first devoted solely to the art of wandmaking and its mysteries. Discover how a tree branch is transformed into a wand of magic, from selecting the wood and working in harmony with the tree spirits (or dryads) to understanding the magical correspondences of different stones, colors, and metals. Wandlore reveals aspects of wand theory that have never been discussed before in print—such as how the four-part design of a magic wand relates to the four alchemical elements, and the role of astrology, elemental correspondences, and the spheres of existence in wandmaking. It shares the magical process for empowering wand cores using phoenix feathers, unicorn hair, and elements of other mythical creatures. This groundbreaking masterwork belongs in the library of every practicing magician, witch, wizard, or druid.

Publisher: Next Chapter
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1700
Book Description
All seven books in John Broughton's 'Jake Conley Mysteries', now in one volume! Elfrid's Hole: After Jake Conley regains consciousness from a coma, he discovers he’s affected by synaesthesia, and that his now cross-wired brain endows him with heightened psychic powers. Jake’s research on the Northumbrian King Aldfrith takes him to Elfrid’s Hole in North Yorkshire, where - as legend relates - the king sheltered after a bloody battle. What Jake doesn't realize is that his investigation has unleashed a series of deadly paranormal events, in which Jake himself becomes the prime suspect. Red Horse Vale: Aftering discovering his newfound powers, Jake Conley has gotten himself in a world of trouble. Now, after his cross-wired brain responds to psychometry in his childhood home, he sees his mother who had died young, and decides to go on holiday to the Cotswolds. But can he unravel the curse of the Red Horse Vale? Memory Of A Falcon: Entangled between the gods of the old world and an extremist group in the new, psychic Jake Conley is struggling to find a way to stop the zealots. When a conversion attempt leads Jake’s partner Liffi to erect a heathen temple to the old goddess Freya, the fanatics of Woden’s Brethren are furious. As their retaliation sets a string of terrorist atrocities in motion, Jake and Liffi are saved by the old goddess, but their differing philosophies begin to drive them apart. Torn between ways old and new, the two need to find a way to use their new powers and bring down the enemy. The Snape Ring: Something mysterious is loose in the British Museum, and a solution is needed. Something connects the events to malevolent forces that menaces a realm beyond our own. Only one man has the power to defeat this fearsome threat, so the Ministry of Defence engages psychic investigator Jake Conley to solve the mystery. Soon after, he discovers disturbing connections to the case, including murder. Pinions Of Gold: 674 AD. Werburgh, great-niece of the Abbess of Ely, travels by night to save the abbey's treasure under a wayside cross in the kingdom of Lindsey. A cryptic inscription on the back indicates the location of the magnificent treasure. Becoming a family heirloom, the dove resurfaces at different points in history, only to be buried again. Later in the 1930's, a ghost of a family member appears, sparking off an investigation by psychic investigator Jake Conley, who is called in to solve the mystery. Together with his wife, he sets off on search for the legendary treasure, and a trail of deaths that seems to be following it. The Serpent Wand: A sinister Masonic-Templar organization - The Brotherhood Of The Wand - is planning to bring the world to its knees and create a dystopian one-government world. The price? 80% of the world's population. To achieve this aim, they are planning to harness ley lines and other ancient earth energies to reawaken the Serpent: a mythical creature known to early civilizations by different names. On the winter solstice, an apocalyptic event is to take place, and the last line of defense against the evil organization is Jake Conley - a psychic investigator with powers of retrocognition, shapeshifting and intuition. The Beast Of Exmoor: MI5 has a task for psychic investigator Jake Conley: Operation Black Panther, a mission to obtain DNA from a beast in Exmoor. Meanwhile, wealthy arms manufacturer, Dr. Aubrey Drake, and the unhinged Major Lorimer infiltrate a top-secret military research station, dreaming of creating the ultimate soldier. Soon, Jake and his psychic powers are in their crosshairs. The odds are stacked against Jake, and he needs to tap into new areas of knowledge to defeat his enemies. But will it end in failure, as it logically should, or in a karmic payback?

Book Description
Since the appearance of Theosophical literature in England, it has become customary to call its teachings “Esoteric Buddhism.” And, having become a habit—as an old proverb based on daily experience has it—“Error runs down an inclined plane, while Truth has to laboriously climb its way up hill.” Old truisms are often the wisest. The human mind can hardly remain entirely free from bias, and decisive opinions are often formed before a thorough examination of a subject from all its aspects has been made. This is said with reference to the prevailing double mistake (a) of limiting Theosophy to Buddhism; and (b) of confounding the tenets of the religious philosophy preached by Gautama, the Buddha, with the doctrines broadly outlined in Esoteric Buddhism. Any thing more erroneous than this could hardly be imagined. It has enabled our enemies to find an effective weapon against Theosophy, because, as an eminent Pâli scholar very pointedly expressed it, there was in the volume named “neither Esotericism nor Buddhism.” The esoteric truths, presented in Mr. Sinnett's work, ceased to be esoteric from the moment they were made public; nor did the book contain the religion of Buddha, but simply a few tenets from a hitherto hidden teaching, which are now explained and supplemented by many more in the present volumes. And even the latter, though giving out many fundamental tenets from the Secret Doctrine of the East, raise but a small corner of the dark veil. For no one, not even the greatest living Adept, would be permitted to, or could—even if he would—give out promiscuously to a mocking, unbelieving world that which has been so effectually concealed from it for long æons and ages. Esoteric Buddhism was an excellent work with a very unfortunate title, though it meant no more than does the title of this work, The Secret Doctrine. It proved unfortunate, because people are always in the habit of judging things by their appearance rather than by their meaning, and because the error has now become so universal, that even most of the Fellows of the Theosophical Society have fallen victims to the same misconception. From the first, however, protests were raised by Brâhmans and others against the title; and, in justice to myself, I must add that Esoteric Buddhism was presented to me as a completed volume, and that I was entirely unaware of the manner in which the author intended to spell the word “Budh-ism.”
