Of course it is not possible to de-mystify Mysticism, and who would want to? Yet also there is no need for deliberate and gratuitous obscurantism. 'Witcha' presents many secrets of English Witchcraft in plain language, giving details of widdershins and deosil circle casting, spell-craft, divination, spiritism, sabbats and esbats, sacrifice, entheogens, philosophy, history, and more besides. The focus is primarily upon those aspects commonly called 'operative witchcraft', which is the witchcraft of 'results' and 'getting things done', rather than the supposedly more 'spiritual' aspects that have been the subject of so many books of late. These are illustrated with photographs taken by my step-father, Adrian Brynn-Evans, detailing -with their kind permission and support- exhibits from the Museum of Witchcraft, Boscastle. These give visual reference to the historical context of this path, proving that it is not something invented by New Age gurus.
Wise men throughout the generations have recognized the power of the Psalms to get results: from attracting love and wealth, to overcoming adversaries, to banishing the powers of evil. Yet these are not mere incantations, to be repaeated with an empty heart. Pay heed to these words, and follow their advice closely. To those who trust in the LORD, and who faithfully hold his precepts, great favours shall be granted.
Written with students of aerospace or aeronautical engineering firmly in mind, this is a practical and wide-ranging book that draws together the various theoretical elements of aircraft design - structures, aerodynamics, propulsion, control and others - and guides the reader in applying them in practice. Based on a range of detailed, real-life aircraft design projects, including military training, commercial and concept aircraft, the experienced UK and US based authors present engineering students with a useful toolkit and reference to support their own project work.
This is my story of growing up in the 1970s-80s, and of how I survived a failed abortion, scoliosis, alternative parenting, murderous aunts, witchcraft, kidnappers, paedophiles, suspected malaria, traffic accidents, living in squats, French nuns, primary school, bullying, prejudice, stairs, gob-stoppers, domestic violence, migraines, suicidal ideation, hippy festivals, naked pagan rituals, clowns, communes, comprehensive school, green politics, vegetarians, the punk wars, glue sniffing, goth, psychedelic drugs, goblins, experiments in magick, vengeful poltergeist, potential UFO abduction, the threat of global apocalypse, and more. Make no mistake. This is not a 'misery memoir'. It is a survivor's grimoire, and it comes with a serious trigger warning. Some passages may offend, distress, and terrify. Others may amuse and entertain. You might find yourself crying. You might find yourself laughing. You might even find yourself believing.
There is far more to the Baphomet then mere idolatry; its angel-devil zoömorphic hermaphroditic idol, with its flaming torch between its horns, conceals the Illuminated formulae of the Beast and his Scarlet Woman. It is the symbol of those primordial power zones whose colour is blood red, and such mysteries as are served in Tantric rites of the black goddess Kali, whose talisman is blood and whose totem is the goat. Symbolising the conjunction in Capricorn of Yesod (Luna) and Tiphareth (Sol) ie the solar eclipse or black sun (Black Son, Antichrist), it is the harbinger of Apocalypse, Opening the Way to the Black Aeon, and the embodiment of the Left Hand Path.
