A tarot reading lies open before us, all of its images laid out on the table. Yet at the same time, they form a labyrinth, not simply a puzzle to be decoded but also a complex pathway deep into ourselves. In Tarot: The Open Labyrinth, Rachel Pollack presents interpretations and commentaries on a collection of readings. The approach is exhaustive yet specific, going steadily deeper into the person’s concerns in a context of light and dark, the Magician and the High Priestess. Through a recognition of this context, the subject and the reader open up their lives. In her classic Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom, Rachel Pollack described how we can form meditation patterns—tarot mandalas—to help us go beyond the reading itself. In this book, she gives examples of these mandalas and describes how people involved use them and their experiences. First published in 1986 by the Aquarian Press and long out of print, Tarot: The Open Labyrinth is for readers who wish to take their reading to the next level by learning from the master. Rachel Pollack writes that this book is intended to tell us “how the Tarot can help us answer specific questions, act as a tool for psychological analysis, and tell us how to overcome problems.”

Reclaims witchcraft, putting it into the hands of those who need it most: queer and marginalized people and their fiercest allies. Witchcraft has always belonged to the outsiders and outcasts in society, yet so much of the practice enforces and adheres to the same hierarchy we face in the world at large--a hierarchy that isolates and hurts those living beyond society's binaries and boundaries. While there are books that address magick for resistance and queer myth, until now there has not been one that specifically addresses the practice of queer magick from an LGBTQ+ standpoint. Queering the Craft combines queer aesthetic and culture (like DIY culture and an emphasis on chosen family over formal covens) with pagan and metaphysical spiritual practice in a way that is commonplace but has not been written about until now. This book covers the personal, the collective, and the political, and how deeply intertwined all three are in a magickal practice for those who are LGBTQ+. In this introduction to witchcraft, Snow presents why/how each concept is important to a queer craft, or how to approach it from a queer mindset. For example, conventional prayer, words, and symbols have always been problematic in a queer universe: How to make them work and still be true to yourself? The bulk of the book is about learning the craft. The latter portion is a grimoire of spells. While accessible to beginning witches, Queering the Craft provides new and inspiring information for longtime practitioners interested in a pure and personal approach that avoids the baggage of history and stereotype.

This newly revised spiritual classic gives you the keys to master the art of spirit communication. If you do magic, pray, or venerate your ancestors, you are working with spirits. If you seek information or guidance through channeling, through mediumship, or through the words and visions of mystics, you are also working with the beings of the subtle realms. Spirit Speak presents a unified system for understanding the broad range of nonphysical beings that we call spirits. Ivo Dominguez Jr. is able to make complex ideas accessible, through analogy and example, without oversimplifying. This comprehensive book can be understood and appreciated by readers from all different faiths, backgrounds, and levels of experience. It explores concepts such as spiritual lineage, the assumption of god-forms, the mindset needed for proper spirit work, divine embodiment, the limits and potential for many spiritual practices. This new edition of Spirit Speak contains a new foreword by Mat Auryn, fresh updates, and new chapters on plant spirits and aspecting.

A moving portrait of the iconic figure who led the way in establishing Wicca in North America--with remembrances of his life by his sister, Christine Cunningham Ashworth, and appreciations written by key figures in today's world of witchcraft, magic, tarot, and astrology. The iconic and renowned bestselling author Scott Cunningham (1953-1993) was the central figure in establishing Wicca in North America. His pioneering book Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner radically altered the practice of Wicca, enabling practitioners to self-initiate. Scott's books, especially his encyclopedias, remain popular today, years after his death. In recent years, Scott has also emerged as a celebrated queer icon, especially in the witchcraft world. Although so many people have come to Wicca and Paganism through his books, little is actually known about Scott Cunningham as a person and about his spiritual life. His little sister, Christine Cunningham Ashworth, seeks to remedy that. Since 2017, she has presented workshops devoted to Scott's life and work. Her book is offered as a gift to all those influenced by Cunningham's work. Christine grew up with him, laughed with him, learned with him, fought with him, and shared joys and sorrows. This book is not a biography as much as it is a memoir. The author writes about their childhood, gives a peek into their parents' lives, and brings to life what it was like to grow up in the Cunningham household. She explores the trajectory of Scott's magical path and affirms his legacy. She shares family photos and lifts the veil from Scott's life. Featuring a foreword by Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch and Mastering Magick, the book contains contributions from other key figures in today's world of witchcraft, magic, tarot, and astrology, including: Stephanie Rose Bird Amy Blackthorn Storm Faerywolf Nancy Hendrickson Dorothy Morrison Nicholas Pearson Benebell Wen

Herätä uinuvat yliaistilliset kykysi ja löydä oma tapasi harjoittaa magiaaNoituus rinnastetaan usein wiccalaisuuteen. Vaikka molemmista löytyy yhtäläisyyksiä ja samoja elementtejä, Mat Auryn painottaa, että yliaistilliset kyvyt ja sisäinen voima ovat noituuden peruspilareita, kun taas henkisyys ja luonnonläheisyys ovat wiccalaisuuden ydintä.Maa, ilma, tuli, ja vesi ovat pentagrammin eli viisikulman keskeisiä elementtejä, ja ne ovat merkittäviä niin noituudessa kuin wiccalaisuudessakin. Itse asiassa pentagrammisymboli löytyy lähes kaikista uskonnollisista ja mystisistä suuntauksista: kreikkalaisesta, babylonialaisesta, egyptiläisestä, kelttiläisestä, druidilaisesta, kabbalistisesta, kristillisestä ja kiinalaisesta.”Haluan osoittaa, että meillä kaikilla on yliaistillisia lahjoja. Magiassa ja yliaistillisissa kyvyissä ei ole mitään yliluonnollista – ne ovat täysin luonnollisia, jokaisen ihmisen saavutettavissa olevia asioita. Olemme syntyneet hyödyntämään ja käyttämään kaikkia kykyjämme, aistimaan ympäröivää maailmaa syvemmällä tasolla ja toimimaan sen kanssa mahdollisimman kattavasti.”
