Josephine McCarthy – författare

Written by one of the world's leading magical adepts, Magical Healing is a 'must have' health survival guide for magicians, students of magic and the Mysteries, occultists, Pagans, tarot readers, energy healers, and occult/Pagan exorcists. Such adventures bring with them impacts that can directly affect the health and wellbeing of the mind and body—a heavily overlooked aspect of the world of magic and divination.

Magical Healing guides the reader through the complexities of how to maintain a healthy mind and body while exploring the depths of magic. It explains how energies can affect our health and what to do about it, how to deal with magical impacts and attacks that affect the body, and how to use divination as a method of keeping a check on your own energetic health. Magical techniques of visionary healing are included, along with many different approaches to self-healing and maintenance, plus how to stay clean and protected.

Presented in the familiar down-to-earth no-nonsense voice of Josephine McCarthy, Magical Healing is a necessary companion for those who seek to walk beyond the veil, whatever their path may be. 

Josephine McCarthy is a UK based author/ teacher, and is the director of the Quareia magical training school. She is one of the world’s leading magical adepts with decades of experience as a magician and international teacher and is the author of thirty books on occultism and magic.

Quareia the Apprentice is the first of three sections of the Quareia magical training. The course is spread over three sections: Apprentice, Initiate, and Adept. The Apprentice section has ten modules, and each module has eight lessons. The Apprentice section is approximately five hundred thousand words: it is the most extensive, in-depth, and intelligent up to date magical course that is currently available worldwide. 

Subject matter covered in the Apprentice section includes Core Skills, Patterns and Maps in Magic, The Power Dynamics of Creation, Death, Birth and the Underworld, Magical Tools, Different Types of Beings, Elements as Tools, The Inner Temples, Working with Planetary Powers, and Understanding Destruction.

The methods, information and techniques in the course enable the magician to engage any form of magic and work with it appropriately with the full knowledge of how that magic works, why it works and what is behind it. The course work, which is both theory and practice, is not reference material or 'recipe magic' that can be dipped in and out of: the understanding of the foundations comes from the dovetailing, study, and layering of magic that forms within and around the apprentice. It is designed to be self-taught, with every detail and step assigned carefully and practically. By the end of this section, the apprentice will have all of the skills, knowledge and strength to take on the challenge of the next stage of training.

The Quareia course is written in its entirety by magical adept and the Director of Quareia, Josephine McCarthy. Josephine has been involved in magic for forty years and has been teaching and writing about magic for over twenty five years. She is considered a revolutionizing force in the teaching of western magic, and is one of the most prominent adepts of western magic alive today.

Foundations: The Lone Practitioner is the first book of the Magical Knowledge trilogy, a series that takes the reader through the twists and turns of serious magical study and practice. Written by Josephine McCarthy, one of the world’s leading magical adepts, Foundations provides a basic training in the necessary skills, contacts, and foundational practices for lone practitioners studying Western magic. She also details some of the rarely tackled issues and problems that face the serious student of magic, offering advice and reflections based on her forty years of practical work.

This book follows no specific magical path; rather it reveals the layers of consciousness that lie beneath many paths, along with the various techniques, powers, and dynamics that underpin most Western Mystery schools and Western magical systems. The reader is shown how ritual actually works, what an inner contact actually is, how to make visions work, how to turn an object into a magically charged implement, how to start reading Tarot, how to clean and protect themselves, and most importantly of all, how to spot the bullshit. 

Josephine McCarthy has been teaching Western magical forms in the US and Europe since the early 1990s and has authored numerous books on magic including The Exorcist’s Handbook, Magic of the North Gate, The Book of Gates – a magical translation, and The Work of the Hierophant. She is also the author and director of the free and extensive self-study magical training course Quareia, which can be found online at www.quareia.com.

Magic of the North Gate: Powers of the Land, the Stones, and the Ancients takes a highly original and detailed look at the magic that involves the land, the body, the living, and the dead. Written by one of the world''s leading adepts who specializes in magic and the environment, Magic of the North Gate offers occultists, pagans, witches, and environmental magicians many powerful, natural, and interesting ways to magically connect with the land and nature.

This book moves away from a heavily ritualized system of magic, and instead delves into the powers that flow all around us: the winds, the power of the land, the voices of the dead, and the many spirits that we find in nature. It introduces the concept of fellowship and cooperation with nature, and offers detailed insight into the practicalities of making friends with the landscapes that surround us.

Magic of the North Gate takes us on a journey through earth magic. It covers methods for working with land spirits and faery beings, as well as for building nature shrines, living in a magical home, working with the magical elements, and connecting with ancient burials. The book also reaches deeper into nature magic, looking at the powers of creation and destruction, the weaving of power and fate, and how to connect to, and work with, storms.
