The Phoenix and Other Stellar Rites of Initiation


Book Description

This book redefines the Magick of Light for the New Aeon. Liber CMXXX is the rite of admission to the first degree in the Golden Dawn of a Thelemic magical Order. It is the key to forging the correct inner plane contacts. The first degree is that of Neophyte, corresponding Qabalistically to Malkuth. The most important Initiations are those that take place on the central or middle pillar of the Hermetic Tree of Life. We therefore include with this book the admission to the grade of Zelator, The Ceremony for making the Khu perfect or Liber XXV, and Liber Zain, a modern version of the Bornless Ritual to attain the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. The three ceremonies of Initiation each come with new or extended commentaries. The "flashing colours" are particular to the Magick of Light that is, in turn, the central operational factor in theurgical rites. The diagrams and illustrations, reproduced in colour, are integral to this book.




Jerusalem


Book Description

‘The better I understand the roots of the Hebrew people and its universal-human mission, the better I shall understand the nature of humanity and its mission; and the more human I become, in the most universal sense, anchored in a new spiritual knowledge and practice, the more fulfilled, active and creative I can be at the roots of my existence as a Jew and an Israeli.’ – Yeshayahu Ben-Aharon Based on a remarkable series of lectures delivered in his native Israel, Dr Ben-Aharon presents his illuminating research on the meaning of Judaism and the spiritual mission of the Jewish people in the past, present and future. The Hebrew people have been a central root in the development not only of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but of the universal human spirit itself. Thus, a new understanding of their development and contribution to the spiritual biography of humanity is essential to understanding ourselves as human beings. The Jews were chosen to reveal the deepest secret of ancient times: the existence of one God above all gods, being the Creator of all human beings – beyond race, nation and gender – in his divine image.The great historical and spiritual figures of the Hebrew people – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joseph, the Judges, Kings and Prophets – prepared humanity for individuation – the true ‘I AM’ – through devotion to the divine foundation of the world. ‘The Lord our God is one’, who is to be loved with all one’s heart, soul and being. Each person could now fulfill the Word, which could be actualized on earth – in the human being. In Jerusalem Dr Ben-Aharon describes the evolution of the Hebrew people and its role in the development of the human race. The journey continues to the present day, where the universal human Self has the potential to become a free participator in the ongoing creation of the universe.

Instead, she claims the next decade as the most transformational years of her life. At sixty-six, she erects the first of what will become a series of monumental sculptures on the Black Rock Desert at Burning Man. At sixty-seven, she treks in the Himalayas. At seventy, she meets the love of her life and begins a new life with him. To honor her seventy-fifth year, she delves into an inward journey with psilocybin mushrooms. But life has its own seasons and time. The Great Recession necessitates the closing of Sharon’s gallery. She comes to the end of Burning Man.

Ultimately, Burning Woman is a passionate love story about the adventure of aging that will inspire readers to feel their strength and commit to living their lives to the fullest and with a sense of pride and purpose.




The Initiation


Book Description

The Initiation: A Phoenix Rises is the account of the Initiation of a forty-five year old man into a life of real magick and the real-time interaction with various levels of consciousness and Cosmic dimensional planes of existence. Pete Pepromeno is a young church pastor who was desperately wounded by mean-spirited and conscienceless religionists. His wife and son were also devastated by hurtful experiences in their church. Pete calls his old professor from university days, August Greyhawk, for help, counsel, and answers. During several weeks of intensive practical teaching and transcendental experiences, Professor Greyhawk leads Pete into the esoteric world of neo-shamanism, real magick, higher dimensional planes of existence, practices of the Old Ways, and a brand new world view. Greyhawk initiates Pete into a magickal life with all of the wonderful benefits accompanying a radical change in belief systems. Many of life's most profound questions are addressed with practical answers that are eye-opening to those who are seekers for more than what mundane and hum-drum status quo reality provides. The majestic Appalachian Mountains and the matchless beauty of the coastal Lowcountry of South Carolina are the setting for Pete's Initiation. Reading the book and deeply reflecting on the real-world discussions as well as the mystical experiences might possibly provide the foundation for the reader's own Initiation...only IF the reader is open and desires to live a "magickal life." If the reader has ever wondered about God, the Universe, the Cosmos, prayer, miracles, spirit beings, real magick, real spells, magickal wands and staffs, traveling in other spatial dimensions and temporal planes of existence, the difference between good and bad magick, religion, the real versus fantasy, and much more...then you will not be disappointed by this book. This book will challenge your present belief system, suggest possibilities for enlarging it to include a reality beyond your wildest dreams, and create an unquenchable thirst in you to discover even more than is revealed herein.
