The first book to explore the history and influence of egregores, powerful autonomous psychic entities created by a collective group mind• Examines the history of egregores from ancient times to present day, including their role in Western Mystery traditions and popular culture and media• Reveals documented examples of egregores from ancient Greece and Rome, Tibetan Buddhism, Islam, modern esoteric orders, the writings of H. P. Lovecraft and Kenneth Grant, and the followers of Julius Evola and Aleister Crowley• Provides instructions on how to identify egregores, free yourself from parasitic and destructive entities, and destroy an egregore, should the need ariseOne of most important but little known concepts of Western occultism is that of the egregore, an autonomous psychic entity created by a collective group mind. An egregore is sustained by belief, ritual, and sacrifice and relies upon the devotion of a group of people, from a small coven to an entire nation, for its existence. An egregore that receives enough sustenance can take on a life of its own, becoming an independent deity with powers its believers can use to further their own spiritual advancement and material desires.Presenting the first book devoted to the study of egregores, Mark Stavish examines the history of egregores from ancient times to present day, with detailed and documented examples, and explores how they are created, sustained, directed, and destroyed. Stavish provides instructions on how to identify egregores, free yourself from a parasitic and destructive collective entity, and destroy an egregore, should the need arise. Revealing how egregores form the foundation of nearly all human interactions, the author shows how egregores have moved into popular culture and media--underscoring the importance of intense selectivity in the information we accept and the ways we perceive the world and our place in it.

A practical guide to the symbols and rituals of Freemasonry as a path of spiritual development and self-realization• Shares the history and meaning of Freemasonry and its symbols • Offers thoughtful explorations of different areas of Masonic experience, drawing on esoteric doctrines and paralleling them with experiences found in daily life • Provides simple exercises and practices to help internalize and personalize the lessons presented, including dreamwork, journaling, meditation, and prayer In this practical guide, Mark Stavish details the spiritual lessons and rituals of Freemasonry as a step-by-step path of spiritual development and self-improvement for both Masons and non-Masons, men and women, alike. He explores the history and meaning of Freemasonry and its symbols--from its origins in the Temple of Solomon to the Medieval craft guilds to the Renaissance--and explains how the Craft promotes personal growth through the symbolic building of self and an inner Temple of Wisdom in much the same way that Masonry’s rituals symbolize the building of Solomon’s Temple in accordance with the mystical architectural instructions of Hiram. Drawing on esoteric doctrines, including the Qabala, alchemy, sacred geometry, John Dee’s angelic magic, and the secrets of the Gothic cathedral builders, each chapter addresses an area of the Masonic experience, paralleling them with experiences each of us finds in our own lives. The author provides simple practices to help internalize and personalize the lessons presented, including dreamwork, journaling, meditation, prayer, and understanding sacred architecture. The author also examines the crafting and use of the spiritual and symbolic tools of Freemasonry, such as the trestle or tracing board and the Chamber of Reflection. Providing the tools to make the Craft an initiatic experience of self-improvement, the author shows that, ultimately, the Masonic experience is the human quest for self-realization and self-expression, so that we each may find our place in the Temple of Wisdom.

"Alchemy" offers tremendous insight into alternative therapies, new medicines and the depths of the human mind. Illuminating a truly esoteric practice, Mark Stavish reveals how to create and apply "medicines for the soul" in this remarkable guide to plant and mineral alchemy. The "Path of Alchemy" introduces the history and basic laws of this ancient practice, and explains how it ties into Qabala, tarot, astrology and the four elements. Safe, modern techniques - based on spagyrics (plant alchemy) - for producing distillations, stones, tinctures and elixirs are given, along with their uses in physical healing, spiritual growth, psychic experiments, initiation, consecration, spell-work and more. Each chapter includes meditations, projects and suggested reading as aids to "inner transformation," an equally important aspect of alchemy. Tools, rituals, lunar and solar stones and the elusive Philosopher's Stone are all covered in this comprehensive guide to alchemy.

Guía práctica sobre los símbolos y rituales de la masonería como vía de desarrollo espiritual y personal• Recorre la historia y el significado de la masonería y sus símbolos• Ofrece reflexiones sobre distintos ámbitos de la experiencia masónica, basándose en doctrinas esotéricas y comparándolas con experiencias de la vida diaria• Aporta ejercicios y prácticas sencillas para ayudar a interiorizar y personalizar las enseñanzas presentadas, tales como el trabajo con sueños, la escritura de un diario, la meditación y la oraciónEn esta guía práctica, Mark Stavish presenta las enseñanzas espirituales y los rituales de la masonería como un camino gradual de desarrollo espiritual y superación personal, tanto para hombres como para mujeres sin importar si son masones o no. Explora la historia y el significado de la masonería y sus símbolos –desde sus orígenes en el Templo de Salomón hasta los gremios artesanales medievales y del Renacimiento– y explica cómo la masonería promueve el crecimiento personal a través de la construcción simbólica de nuestro ser y de un templo interior de sabiduría, de la misma manera que los rituales masónicos simbolizan la construcción del templo de Salomón según las instrucciones arquitectónicas y místicas de Hiram.Basándose en doctrinas esotéricas como la Cábala, la alquimia, la geometría sagrada, la magia angelical de John Dee y los secretos de los constructores de catedrales góticas, cada capítulo aborda un área de la experiencia masónica, estableciendo un paralelismo con las experiencias que cada uno de nosotros encuentra en su propia vida. El autor proporciona prácticas sencillas para ayudar a interiorizar y personalizar las enseñanzas presentadas, entre las que se incluyen el trabajo con sueños, la escritura de un diario, la meditación, la oración y la comprensión de la arquitectura sagrada. El autor también examina la elaboración y el uso de las herramientas espirituales y simbólicas de la masonería, como el tablero de caballete o de trazado y la Cámara de Reflexión.Al proveer las herramientas para hacer de la Orden una experiencia iniciática de superación personal, el autor señala que la experiencia masónica es, en definitiva, la búsqueda humana de la autorrealización y la autoexpresión, así cada uno de nosotros podrá encontrar su lugar en el Templo de la Sabiduría.
