New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
A brilliant cut diamond may have dozens or even hundreds of facets. To get to know the entire diamond, however, you have to know each of those facets. Similarly, if you wish to receive inspiration from the Goddess, you may find the easiest approach is to learn about each of Her various facets—the many faces of the Goddess. Renowned goddess artist Kris Waldherr has provided an amazing and visually stunning set of eighty images that will allow you to do that in the Goddess Inspiration Oracle. Each of the goddesses is presented in full color on one of eighty cards in a deck you can use for meditation, divination, and inspiration. A 120-page book explains how to use the cards and the ...
The "unmentionable Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred" is best known from the references that appear in the short stories of H. P.

Was it a book club where you could discuss your ideas with an open, receptive group of like-minded souls? Was it tinkering around with your toaster until you figured out how it all works together? Or was ...
I have been very fortunate in being able to give lectures on a variety of magickal topics all over the US and in Europe. In January I gave a workshop in Las Vegas, and right now I'm scheduled to give a workshop in Kona, Hawaii. One of the great things about these travels is that I'm able to meet such wonderful people. And wherever I go, one of the most popular topics I'm asked about is about love spells and love magick. Considering that this is the season of romance, I wanted to talk a bit about this because some people are stridently against such magickal work; I am not.
