This 'Guide to Grimoiring' ends the Night School series by renowned occult author Jake Stratton-Kent. The first volume, The Sworn and Secret Grimoire, used the Grimoire of Turiel as a starting point for engaging with the ritual process when working with grimoiric spirits and can be thought of as an 'occult primer'. In this second volume, Cyprian's Offices of Spirits, Jake moves us into the realm of Cyprianic spirit-work, the mysteries of the Lunar Mansions, and an investigation of the Kings and Queens of the Elementals. Moving between history and practice, Cyprian's Offices of Spirits, as its predecessor did with Turiel, takes it inspiration from Nathaniel Moulth's Petit Manuel du Devin et du Sorcier, through which it highlights the folkloric elements of grimoiric practice and the benefits of ritual timing. Dr. Alexander Cummins' foreword beautifully outlines the contents of Cyprian's Offices of Spirits as well as Jake Stratton-Kent's contributions to our understanding of grimoire practice, closing with a beautiful tribute to Jake himself.

What do you get when you mix a heaping teaspoon of a "Fairy trapped with somewhere to be," a dash of a "Grizzled old man that could return at any moment," and a sprinkle of a "War between a gang of ladybugs and an Irish Wolfhound?" A recipe for a grand ol' time!The fairy, Sidhe, is trapped in a human's den after an untimely run-in with a brick-brained gargoyle on the way to see her sister, Aven, for the last time. With a set of torn wings on her back, and an amateur's grasp on "clever thinking," Sidhe sets out on an adventure to escape, back to the forest, before the sun reaches its apex and she misses her last chance to say "I'm sorry," all the while avoiding an Irish Wolfhound and its master, and maybe, learning a thing or two about herself along the way."The Scurrying Sun" is a fantasy story about overcoming grief with a few laughs on the way. A story, both silly and sentimental, that'll bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye.When you're the size of two acorns wrapped in a trench coat, even the tiniest of adventures feel enormous.The debut novella of author and illustrator, Zaeem Farooqi.

"Twins Calla and Briar have spent their entire lives hiding from the powerful sorceress who destroyed their kingdom... and from the humans, who don't know they're wolves. Each twin has their purpose in life: Briar's is to marry the prince of an ally pack and save the Golden Court. Calla's is to remain a secret, her twin's shadow...the backup plan."--

Im 16.ten Jahrhundert lebte ein Arzt, der seiner Zeit weit voraus war, weshalb man ihm nachsagte, ein Alchemist, Magier oder Wunderheiler zu sein: Paracelsus. Er studierte die Schul- und Volksmedizin, forschte in Sachen Heilkraft des Glaubens, der Hermetischen Gesetze und hinterließ in den Geschichten, die er selbst von seinen unzähligen Reisen durch Europa berichtete und die andere über ihn erzählten, eine Anleitung der Geistheilung, wie sie aktueller nicht sein könnte. Das war dann eben auch der Grund, weshalb ich als Sagen- und Märchenerzähler auf Paracelsus aufmerksam geworden bin, soll er sich doch selbst u.a. als Geschichtenerzähler, als Barde verstanden haben. Es heißt, er hätte die Kranken vom Sterbebett gezerrt, nicht um sie in ein Krankenhaus zu schleifen, sondern mit den Totkranken in die Kneipe zu gehen. Dort ließ er auftafeln, ausschenken und erzählte das Wunderbarste und Sonderlichste von seinen langen, abenteuerlichen Reisen. Wenn dann die Augen des Kranken aufleuchteten, gab es noch Hoffnung auf Heilung!Seine Gedanken und Anregungen, die man beinahe als Meditationsanleitungen verstehen könnte, sind nach 500 Jahren noch immer bahnbrechend. Sie helfen in verhaltensoriginellen Zeiten, ganzheitlich gesund, wohlgelaunt und verliebt in diese verrückte Welt zu bleiben. Um dich in die Welt von Paracelsus mitzunehmen, war Sagenhafter Harz auf seinen Spuren unterwegs und besuchte all seine wichtigsten Lebensstationen, die in dem Werk allesamt bebildert mit aufgeführt sind!

" ... À quoi bon secouer davantage la poussière des vieux documents : vous trouverez (si le c¿ur vous en dit) toutes ces choses, et d'autres encore, dans le savant recueil du baron de la Flotte publié à Paris chez Dentu en 1860. Nil novo sub soli.En ce menu aide-mémoire, j'ai tâché de vous rappeler par les meilleurs exemples quelques notions que vous possédez tous, d'ailleurs, mais qui pourront peut-être servir aux débutants. Fallait-il puiser dans l'antiquité? Dieu merci, nous sommes au vingtième siècle, et l'enseignement moderne a fait justice de tous ces radotages de cuistres. J'ai cru devoir prendre, au contraire, et sans hésiter, dans le vaste arsenal de la presse contemporaine, pour faire une ¿uvre qui soit bien de notre temps. L'avenir est, comme on dit, aux leçons de choses. Apprendre à se servir du Larousse, du Musée de la Conversation ; s'exercer rapidement à une facture souple et agréable ; s'assimiler superficiellement les notions nouvelles, pour les exposer de même: à cela doit se borner votre ambition. Chacun de ces courts chapitres a été rédigé pour vous y aider. N'oubliez pas que vous êtes devenus les instructeurs du peuple..."

Le Roi au masque d'or est un recueil de contes fantastiques écrit par Marcel Schwob et publié en 1892. Dans la première nouvelle, Le roi au masque d'or, le monarque et ses sujets, les femmes, les bouffons et les prêtres, portent tous un masque, selon l'ordre instauré par les rois ancestraux. Ainsi, personne à la cour du roi n'a jamais vu de visage humain, en particulier personne n'a vu celui du roi. Un jour, un mendiant aveugle se présente, qui dit au roi qu'il ne connaît pas ses sujets, et qu'il ne se connaît pas lui-même. Il décide alors de faire tomber les masques ; il découvre alors qu'il est lépreux, et que ses ancêtres ont ordonné le port du masque pour cacher ce mal dont ils souffraient aussi.

Publié pour la première fois en 1894 et remanié en 1903, Le Livre de Monelle est un petit ouvrage littéraire, à la croisée du conte romantique et du poème en prose. Il constitue un véritable petit chef d'¿uvre, le genre de petit livre (à peine plus de 100 pages) que l'on parcourt les yeux écarquillés, en s'étonnant à chaque page de l'¿uvre étrange et fascinante que l'on est en train de lire...

Peu avant la 5ème croisade de 1219, des milliers de jeunes pèlerins allemands et français partent pour la Terre Sainte. Ils seront, pour la plupart, massacrés avant de pouvoir embarquer. Ce récit relate cet événement de point de vue des huit personnes suivantes : un clerc misérable (Goliard), un lépreux, le pape Innocent III, trois petits enfants, un autre clerc (François Longuejoue), Kalandar (le mendiant), la petite Allys et le pape Grégoire IX.

Vous vous plongerez pour un temps dans les origines de ces noms célèbres - dans la mythologie nordique.

No sólo podrás obtener una visión general de las fuentes eruditas y, si es necesario, investigarlas con más detalle tú mismo después, tal y como se exponen las cosas aquí, sino que también deambularás durante un rato por el mundo mitológico que se creó en la época precristiana.

1905. Hope was a barrister who gave up the law after the success of his novel The Prisoner of Zenda. The book begins: A man who has lived in the world, marking how every act, although in itself perhaps light and insignificant, may become the source of consequences that spread far and wide, and flow for years or centuries, could scarcely feel secure in reckoning that with the death of the Duke of Strelsau and the restoration of King Rudolf to liberty and his throne, there would end, for good and all, the troubles born of Black Michael's daring conspiracy. The stakes had been high, the struggle keen; the edge of passion had been sharpened, and the seeds of enmity sown. Yet Michael, having struck for the crown, had paid for the blow with his life: should there not then be an end? See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
