Technic and Magic - Federico Campagna
We take for granted that only certain kind of things exist â “ electrons but not angels, passports but not nymphs. This is what we understand as â ˜realityâ ™. But in fact, â ˜realityâ ™ varies with each era of the world, in turn shaping the field of what is possible to do, think and imagine. Our contemporary age has embraced a troubling and painful form of reality: Technic. Under Technic, the foundations of reality begin to crumble, shrinking the field of the possible and freezing our lives in an anguished state of paralysis. Technic and Magic shows that the way out of the present deadlock lies much deeper than debates on politics or economics. By drawing from an array of Northern and Southern sources â “ spanning from Heidegger, Junger and Stirnerâ ™s philosophies, through Pessoaâ ™s poetry, to Advaita Vedanta, Bhartrhari, Ibn Arabi, Suhrawardi and Mulla Sadraâ ™s theosophies â “ Magic is presented as an alternative system of reality to Technic. While Technic attempts to capture the world through an â ˜absolute languageâ ™, Magic centres its reconstruction of the world around the notion of the â ˜ineffableâ ™ that lies at the heart of existence. Technic and Magic is an original philosophical work, and a timely cultural intervention. It disturbs our understanding of the structure of reality, while restoring it in a new form. This is possibly the most radical act: if we wish to change our world, first we have to change the idea of â ˜realityâ ™ that defines it.

Hypnosis Between Science and Magic - Isabelle Stengersová
What if judgment returned to the craft of magic? How would that relieve the burdens of critique and realign its priorities? These questions regarding the value of magic to thinking are at the very heart of the acclaimed philosopher of science Isabelle Stengers political and philosophical thought and her insistence that the smoke of the burned witches still hangs in our nostrils .Now, in the first English translation of this classic text, Hypnosis Between Science and Magic provides an entry point to the work of Isabelle Stengers, who has so originally and forcefully shifted how we think about the history of ideas. The book focuses in on an area of her thought that has recurred throughout her career: the presumed antagonism between magic and science, and especially the evacuation of magic from all that is thought to be scientifically valid.

Everyone needs a little magic in their lives... The Rules of Magic is the long-awaited prequel to Practical Magic, and a New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon #39;s Book Club pick! In this sparkling prequel we meet the Aunts from Practical Magic, sisters Frances and Jet and Vincent, their brother. From the beginning their mother Susanna knew they were unique: Franny with her skin as pale as milk and blood red hair, who could commune with birds; Jet as shy as she is beautiful, who knows what others are thinking, and Vincent so charismatic that he was built for trouble. Susanna needed to set some rules of magic: no walking in the moonlight, no red shoes, no wearing black, no cats, no crows, no candles and certainly, absolutely, no books about magic… But the Owens siblings are desperate to uncover who they really are. Each heads down a life-altering course, filled with secrets and truths, devastation and joy, and magic and love. Despite the warning handed down through the family for centuries – Know that for our family, love is a curse – they will all strive to break the rules and find true love.***A perfect read for crisp autumn nights!*** Praise for The Rules of Magic: ‘The combination of magic with the universal themes of romantic love and the bond between siblings allows the reader to have one foot in a magical world and another in the realities of family life.

The Rules of Magic is a gentle tale, perfect as the nights draw in #39; – Press Association ‘As efficient a slice of escapism as you would expect from Hoffman… Hoffman’s skill is to ground her light-as-a-feather tale in a very specific time and place: Manhattan in the Sixties. Wisely, she doesn’t rely on the momentous times to do too much work, but the heady atmospherics are expertly interwoven’ – Daily Mail ‘A bewitching, hard to put down tale of the consequences of magic, love and family’ - Bookbag

Fascinating, original, excellent Simon Sebag Montefiore______________________Three great strands of practice and belief run through human history: science, religion and magic. But magic - the idea that we have a connection with the universe - has developed a bad reputation.It has been with us for millennia - from the curses and charms of ancient Greek, Roman and Jewish magic, to the shamanistic traditions of Eurasia, indigenous America and Africa, and even quantum physics today. Even today seventy-five per cent of the Western world holds some belief in magic, whether snapping wishbones, buying lottery tickets or giving names to inanimate objects.Drawing on his decades of research, with incredible breadth and authority, Professor Chris Gosden provides a timely history of human thought and the role it has played in shaping civilization, and how we might use magic to rethink our understanding of the world.______________________ This is an extraordinary work of learning, written with an exhilarating lightness of touch . . .

The Spiritual Magic of Dolls - Najah Lightfoot
Dolls have been beloved companions and instruments of magic for millennia. They are among the most ancient Egyptian and Roman artifacts. Not only playthings for children, they also provide lifelong comfort and companionship. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, dolls developed therapeutic uses, especially for traumatized children and people with dementia. But dolls also possess a long history as a tool of divination, witchcraft, and the occult. In The Spiritual Magic of Dolls, Najah Lightfoot bridges these two uses—companionship and magic—to enable readers to develop profound magical and spiritual relationships with their own dolls. Many have beloved dolls displayed on shelves or sitting in boxes. What if you could do more with them? Najah Lightfoot shows you how. Perhaps you still have favorite childhood dolls or have been gifted with a doll or inherited one from a relative or friend. Many people are extremely attached to one or more dolls—this book teaches you how to take that attachment to the next level. Najah Lightfoot teaches how to develop a magical and spiritual relationship with your dolls. Najah writes, “This book is crafted, written for the magical practitioner or the person who has a love of dolls, who would like to learn how to bring them comfortably, lovingly into a working and familial relationship. The Spiritual Magic of Dolls seeks to connect readers to the love of dolls, especially dolls that may have had a hard life before they ended up coming into the lives of the reader. It is written for those who find themselves drawn to dolls and wish to be closer to them in magical, loving ways.”

Ancestral Slavic Magic - Natasha Helvin
A guide to harnessing ancestral power in the Slavic Pagan tradition Raised in the Soviet Union, where she grew up steeped in ancient Slavic magical traditions, occultist and hereditary witch Natasha Helvin reveals not only how you are continually and powerfully influenced by your ancestors, but also how you can open the door to your ancestral connections in order to know who you truly are and change the course of your destiny. Helvin examines ancestor worship in southeastern Europe and western Russia and the way it shaped their indigenous magical and spiritual practices. She explains how energy flows in a familial context and how strengths and dysfunctions are passed from one generation to the next for centuries, becoming embedded in your body and mind as specific patterns that affect your life. She shares time-honored rituals and spells to help you to recognize these ancestral patterns and influences, make changes in the harmful ones, and harness your familial strengths to direct your destiny. Looking at both Slavic Pagan and Eastern Orthodox traditions concerning the dead, the author examines ancient Slavic burial and funeral customs, many of which are still practiced today in remote regions of Ukraine and Russia. She reveals how these burial rites became incorporated into rural witchcraft practices, and she explains traditional Slavic ideas on death and the afterlife, the soul, the spiritual power of colors, and magical objects. Helvin—an initiate in Haitian Vodou—also looks at the parallels between Vodou and the folk magic of the Slavic tradition. Presenting an in-depth look at ancestor worship and magic in the Slavic Pagan tradition, Helvin shows how forging a stronger connection to your ancestors can lead to increased power and understanding in life.

Doctor Strange: A Decade of Dark Magic - Stuart Moore
Explore the Stories Behind the LegendsEnter a world where reality bends, and magic reigns supreme. From psychedelic dimensions to counterculture cool, Doctor Strange was unlike anything else in comics. One of Marvel’s most fascinating early characters, he began at the hands of co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and his ethereal voyages through other dimensions made him an iconic figure in 1960s culture.From his first appearance in 1963, Strange captivated a wide range of readers. Over his first ten years, a succession of writers and artists—including Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Gardner F. Fox, P.Craig Russell, Marie Severin, and notably Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner—expanded on Ditko’s original mind-bending concepts. This entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Strange’s changing roles as a mystic, super hero, and leader of a chaotic team called the Defenders, and the rise of his popularity, in parallel with the counterculture of the 1960s. Beautifully illustrated with full-color and mind-bending artwork, this is a must-have for fans of Marvel’s early era, pop culture history, and the stories that shaped a generation.

Discover the folklore and history of our most toxic plants through this beautifully produced, gorgeously illustrated compendium—a captivating coffee table book for enthusiasts of witchcraft books and botanical knowledge alike. If you drink much from a bottle marked ‘poison,’ it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later. – Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland In both history and fiction, some of the most dramatic, notorious deaths have been through poisonings. Concealed and deliberate, it’s a crime that requires advance planning and that for many centuries could go virtually undetected.

Going from A to Z, she covers everything from apple (think of the poisoned fruit in “Snow White”) and the hallucinogenic angel’s trumpet to laurel, which emits toxic fumes, to oleander (a deadly ornamental shrub), with each plant beautifully illustrated by the author herself, making it a spellbinding spell book and a feast for the eyes. This enthralling treasury is packed with insight, lore, and the revealed mysteries of everyday flora—including the prevalence of poisoning in ancient Rome, its use in religion and magic, and common antidotes—making this the perfect addition to the library of gardeners, writers, folklorists, witches, and scientists alike.
