Witchcraft is the Craft of the Wise

Witchcraft is the Craft of the Wise

Donald Michael Kraig

In Jewish tradition, the commandment to "Honor thy Father and thy Mother?" is not limited to relatives. Anyone who raises you is considered to be a parent. This means that friends, acquaintances and even teachers, people who give you wisdom to grow with, should be treated with honor and respect.

And I can understand this. For example, I had met Israel Regardie a few times and we had corresponded for several years. We were certainly not close friends. Yet by the time he died I had been learning from him through his books for almost two decades. His death upset me greatly for he felt like a teacher, and even in some ways like a parent, to me.

Mirra Alfassa: Western Occultist in India

Mirra Alfassa: Western Occultist in India

by Christine Rhone

The last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first of the twentieth saw many fertile cross-seedings between the spiritual and esoteric traditions of Europe and India. A major landmark in this process was the founding in 1875 of the Theosophical Society by Madame Blavatsky. Also pivotal was the role-played by Mirra Alfassa, who is today revered as an avatar or incarnation of the Divine Mother by thousands of people East and West. She spent more than fifty years in India working to realize a synthesis called the Integral Yoga with Sri Aurobindo, who is honored today all over India as an early freedom fighter and a giant in the fields of spirituality and literature. An extraordinary temple, the Matrimandir, stands in south India as a monument to her achievement and as the essence of her dream, crystallized in a piece of visionary architecture that is unique in the world.

Two Wiccan Rites

Two Wiccan Rites

Scott Cunningham

I've presented these two original Wiccan rituals to students during classes but this is their first time in print. Though anyone can perform these rites, they are specifically designed for Wiccans. Those who've attuned with the Goddess and the God will gain the most from them.

As in usual in my Wiccan writings, I haven't used specific Goddess and God names in these rites. Visualize your personal conception of your deities. These rituals are designed for one practitioner.

A Solitary Ritual of Thanks

You'll know when to perform this ritual. It can be done at any phase of the moon, during the day or the night.

You'll need one large white or pink bowl; one pink candle; water; fresh rose petals and one piece of white cotton cloth. Place the bowl on your altar (or any table). Affix the white candle to the center of the bowl with warmed beeswax or with drippings from another white candle (so that the bowl acts as a candleholder.)

The Magick of Franz Bardon and the Contemporary Magician

The Magick of Franz Bardon and the Contemporary Magician

By Dean Balsamo

With all the trappings, delusions and hype fueling our media-gorged society, it's a wonder anyone can come by genuine knowledge of magical practice. In this climate, even venerable magical societies are compromised, neutralized and gutted of their original impulses. There are many books, and the Web-like experience of sorting through all the dross before hitting something feeling like gold.

Then again, no one's saying you can't just start using Enochian keys. But most practitioners agree some fundamental grounding in the evocational arts might make the difference between successful contact and none, or worse, disaster.
