The Secret of the Mystic Will This book will show you the most effective means to secure your own happiness, as well as that of others. The power to transform our lives is dependent upon few and simple requirements. Any of us can achieve true life satisfaction through learning to cultivate the habit of purposeful direction of the Will. Success achieved by those receptive to the clearly articulated observations presented by the author can be immediate and ongoing. These universally valid insights and techniques help overcome failure through self-hindrance and assist in achieving a focused personal direction that guarantees the fulfilment of the individual's goals. For those who recognise the truth that the Will is the master harmonic capable of harnessing the competing talents that lie within each of us into something much greater than the sum of its parts, this work will be welcomed as a powerful tool of self-transformation.
Cast a spell against gossips, deflect unwanted romantic attention, or bring the dead back to life. The renowned 19th-century folklorist and expert on witchy cultures Charles Leland believed he had uncovered the secrets of practical domestic magic as the ancient pagans of Italian Tuscany performed it, and he shared all in this classic 1892 study. Considered by the author to be his own masterwork, this enthralling work--one still the subject of heated debate among modern pagans, some of whom embrace it while others deny its accuracy--here are detailed examinations of the gods and goblins of the region as well as the time-honored incantations, divinations, medicines, and amulets of the Tuscans.
This first edition reprint tells how the author met a woman in Italy in the 1800's who revealed to him Strega, the Old Religion, which pre-dated Christianity. This is an important book for Wiccans, pagans and those interested in early religious beliefs. Contains an early version of an important document called the "Charge of the Goddess," plus spells in the original Italian, with English translations. A must for any pagan or Wiccan library -- their "gospel," according to the subtitle.
