For a long time, we have been dependent on other cultures to find alphabetic magic for our own lives. In this book, a system is presented that will accomodate every magical technique used with the other alphabets, but using the familiar American alphabet that we all know and use daily. This is a complete handbook for the system. All the parts are described and illustrated for those who wish to explore this new way of bringing magic into the magical practice. While a lot remains to be published in the specifics that are mentioned, this book will give you all the tools to work with the system. If you prefer to apply your own magical alphabet to the system, you can. Correspondences are provided in the Appendix. But here is a way to work with a language you know, with letters you are already acquainted with, in a variety of ways that are new.
New expanded exploration of the Qabalah for any who study the occult.

Rituals, ceremonies and prayers may be shared by groups or used by individuals in private practice.

What you will find here is uplifting material that leads toward the mystical and transcendent contact with the greatness that is above and beyond the human experience.
Here is a divination system that is based on the traditional lore of Dahomey, now called Benin. It is a geomancy system, but without the astrology of other systems. In many ways it is similar to Ifa, the system of Yoruba, but not the same, either. In other words, it is a unique system for use by those who are interested in West African lore, but who are not initiates of any system that has its own divination traditions. The details are carefully researched, but it was the Vodu whose voices are heard in the readings.
Twelve weeks of study. Twelve students. A school that takes magic seriously. What could happen? A curse, an evil magician's ghost, revenants, and trance possession. In other words, just the usual for a group that is studying magic for the first time in an academic setting.
The family tradition was broken over the centuries since they came across from Dahomey. But the family remembered much of what their ancestors had taught. Now, the Sib is stretching its wings and recovering much of what was lost. From today's libraries, traces have been found. And the web, like Legba's fabled home, has caught the small flies of more details to flesh out knowledge that is fragmented. This revised and expanded edition will add to the reader's understanding of how one family has pulled together the strands of a long and broken history to make a new beginning in the modern world. The author, Tielzi'e alim, was student to Tovodu se Legba, and has carried his plans for the Sib forward in this book. It is now open for the world to read, according to his plan. Modupe!

A coloring book with a purpose! Here are designs based on historic manuscript styles, but used to give the impression of specific set of words. While the words were selected for their relationship to the planets, they are not limited to astronomical or astrological meanings. Rather, they give impressions of ideas that can influence your selection of colors and the way in which you choose to color them in. These are the designs that appear in the Scribe's Year Deck and the Scribe's Year Templates, but updated for use in coloring and displaying.
This booklet gives a depth of information on the formation of one letter: I, i. It has meaning, association and correspondences built into it. This is a new, deeper approach to learning hand lettering in general, and specifically the letter I, i as used in both calligraphy and in planetary associations. This is the first in a series of booklets, leading to a deep understanding of the American alphabet as the philosophical basis of understanding our world. The author has constructed a work-along approach to loading meaning into the letters as the pen is mastered. It builds toward the aspiration of calligraphers to understand the depth of the alphabet beyond the simple A, B, C's.
The Flashing Letters will help create a mental association between the American letters and the astrological symbols with which they are associated in the Abcedrian System. The designs are simple, direct, and curiously attractive to the eye. Each letter is presented in four forms: a black and white pattern that flashes in the eye between two forms; the same but in outline template format for coloring yourself; the block letter the design is based on; and the block form of the astrological symbol that is related to the letter. These designs may be colored with any media, but colored pencils may work best on this paper. Markers will give stronger colors, but may bleed. Feel free to copy the pages for individual personal use in meditation and contemplation.
