Through libations, prayers, hymns, dances, sacrifices, and rituals, ancient farmers connected to the sacred forces, the gods, nature spirits, and ancestors to make the crops grow, keep the herds healthy, the weather favorable, and release energies of fertility. These rural farmer priests and priestesses of the ancient past are the spiritual ancestors of today’s cunning farmers.This book explores folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition and the practices of witches and cunning folk for increased fertility.

He shows how to work with land spirits, including meeting the place spirit of your land—the genius loci. He also explores working with Earth and Moon energies, plant magic and forest deities, and ritual. Learn how to deepen your connection to elemental and celestial forces and explore the idea of rewilding the imagination to enhance your relationship with nature and the spirits that call it home.This book is not just a guide to farming, but to forging a relationship with the living land. It shows that we are surrounded by spiritual powers and, with their help, we can re-enchant and reconnect with the land that gives us life.

The Book of Hermetica is the definitive collection of the most pivotal texts of hermetic wisdom. It includes the three most critical books in the cannon - Corpus Hermeticum, The Emerald Tablet, and The Kybalion.Corpus Hermeticum and The Emerald Tablet are both attributed to Hermes Trismegistus and were written between 100-300 BCE. These works form the foundation of hermetic wisdom, expounding on philosophy, religion, magic, and alchemy. The Kybalion was written much later, in the 20th century, and explores the seven basic hermetic principles. Faithfully reproduced in The Book of Hermetica, these esoteric writings have inspired great minds throughout the ages - everyone from Newton and Milton to Leonardo da Vinci and Jung - and modern readers will find their pages equally fascinating.The Book of Hermetica is the perfect introduction to the mysteries of hermeticism and essential reading for anyone interested in understanding western mystical thought through the ages.

Häxor : när Satans raseri svepte över Sverige

AvCecilia Düringer,Pompe Hedengren

Inbunden, Svenska, 2025

År 1668 släpps Satans raseri lös i Sverige. Plötsligt anklagas kvinnor för häxeri och samvaro med djävulen. Huvudstaden sänder ut en trolldomskommission med rätt att utmäta dödsstraff. Domarna börjar falla – och det blir gnistan som får häxbålen att flamma upp över hela landet. »Det stora oväsendet« har inletts. Och innan det tystnar, ska närmare 300 kvinnoliv ha släckts. Häxor handlar om trolldomens historia, de svenska häxprocesserna i allmänhet och det stora oväsendet i synnerhet. I fiktiva fotografier ställs läsaren öga mot öga med offrens uppfordrande blickar och jämte de trollbindande bilderna löper faktaberättelsen om en av svensk historias största rättsskandaler.

Studia Pindarica by Elroy L. Bundy is a landmark in classical philology that reshaped modern understandings of Pindar’s victory odes. Originally published in 1962 and reissued in this combined edition, the book distills Bundy’s methodological innovations into close readings of two key epinician poems: the Eleventh Olympian and the First Isthmian. Rejecting centuries of interpretive traditions that had cast Pindar as a fragmented or obscure poet, Bundy demonstrates that these odes are tightly governed by rhetorical and enkomiastic conventions. His analysis highlights devices such as the priamel and the crescendo, showing how apparent digressions or abrupt transitions instead operate as conventional structures designed to amplify praise.What makes Bundy’s work enduring is not only its rigorous analysis of two odes but also its larger argument for a “grammar” of choral style, a shared repertoire of motifs, sequences, and rhetorical strategies that bound poet and audience together. With clarity and precision, Bundy situates Pindar within an oral, public tradition dedicated to eulogy, thereby overturning the so-called “Pindaric problem” of incoherence. The result is a reconceptualization of Pindar as a poet of unified artistry rather than scattered brilliance. Essential for classicists, literary critics, and historians of rhetoric, Studia Pindarica remains a foundational resource for understanding Greek lyric and its conventions of praise.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1986.
