Vocalize the Spiritual Energy of Breath for Potent Magic Cultures around the world and throughout history recognize the human breath as the seat of spirit. The chi of the Chinese, the ruach of the Hebrews, the pneuma of the Greeks, and the spiritus of the Romans refer to the same thing—the invisible energy that permeates the breath. Now, with this book's in-depth study, you can maximize the potential of this energy in your magic. Esteemed magician Donald Tyson presents an advanced look at how to compose your own incantations, use words and names of power, control the living breath, and more. He shows you the inherent potency of vibrating words and vowels, providing numerous examples from historical texts and occult practice. Tyson presents a wide variety of spells for healing, love, and protection. He also shares enchantments for herbs, potions, wands, and even people. From binding the wind through knot magic to using alliteration and repetition, this book balances scholarship and practical workings so you can maximize the potential of breath and voice in your practice.
What is the point of history? Why has the study of the past been so important for so long? Why History? A History contemplates two and a half thousand years of historianship to establish how very different thinkers in diverse contexts have conceived their activities, and to illustrate the purposes that their historical investigations have served. Whether considering Herodotus, medieval religious exegesis, or twentieth-century cultural history, at the core of this work is the way that the present has been conceived to relate to the past. Alongside many changes in technique and philosophy, Donald Bloxham's book reveals striking long-term continuities in justifications for the discipline.
