At the Crossroads Scarlet Imprint 2012 Web: At the Crossroads has been released in various editions including eight hundred cloth bound editions and sixty four in goatskin. While Scarlet Imprint is releasing many of their books in ebook format ( pdf only), I recommend this one in hardback as it is superbly presently, profusely illustrated with many images in colour and simply beautiful to hold and read. There is no paperback edition of this book due to its oversized format. The concept of the crossroads is pregnant with meaning; in traditional cultures the boundaries of a culture marked the line between safety and danger, outside the boundary was where witches, sorcerers, trolls and wild spirits lived; it was the world of the untamed. Where two boundaries crossed creating a crossroads this was considered a place of immense power and danger, prisoners and criminals were hung at the crossroads and it was considered the location for evoking the devil himself during the medieval period. In pre-Christian times where leylines crossed was a major point of power and such connections covered the whole of England and can also found in many other countries.

At the same time at the interface of cultures is the crossroads where creativity looms. Drivers Ed Gonzales La. There is so many exciting developments at that nebulous line where one culture meets and intermingles from another, whether we consider Mithraism or Gnosticism or even the hybrid cunning traditions which resulted from Christian and Pagan contact the results are challenging and significant. There is always a fine line between organic contact and syncretism, isolationism and appreciating where traditions touch, merge and create a living culture of magic and sorcery. These essays explore traditions at the crossroads and offer many traditions that we may not at first even consider.

Folk traditions and the Solomonic Revival opens this work by exploring the connections between the worldview of the grimoires and various forms of traditional African magical practise. Gone is the psychological view of modern magic which reduced the gods to complexes and archetypes and advocated is a return to the old ways of appreciating the spirits as they really are.

It is not a matter of cultural misappropriation but being open to going beyond the narrow blinkers of the Western Mystery Tradition which is sadly locked primarily within the outdated Golden Dawn worldview. By examining folk traditions we can appreciate a new way of practicing magic which will open a new world or us. The article on necromancy is a real eye opener. Necromancy is a subject too often ignored in western magic and relegated to being part of spiritualism which is seen as somehow less value as an occult practise. The reality is that necromancy was an intricate part of all the pre- Christian traditions and for that reason alone we should reappraise its value and use. Since the grimoire tradition had its ultimate origin in the Hellenistic traditions necromancy was of far greatest significance than many modern magicians locked in the Kabbalistic headset have noticed.

Historically the spirits of the dead became demonised and replaced with hierarchies of fallen angels, demons and forces of evil and destruction. At the Crossroads continues examining specific traditions as Ifa and offering a truly engrossing essay on the history of the Ju Ju discussing all manner of Voudoun, Witchcraft, Santeria and Goetia. There is so much in this volume that is hard to discuss it all, there is lots of coverage of diverse traditions ranging from Santeria to Grimoire magick and a deep understanding of the intersection between traditions especially the new evolving understanding of the relationships between the Goetia, Hellenistic sorcery and African Tradition religions.

At the Crossroads is also interspersed with superb poetry. Mib88 Megamod Download.

[HT ] The thing about nascent movements like this is that it’s hard to know when to pay attention and when to ignore them. If you ignore them they can grow in the dark, like mushrooms on dung. If you make too much fuss, you can attract idiots–particularly extremist idiots–who automatically assume that anything normal people find objectionable must be awesome, radical, and “not PC” and therefore good.• Dan Harms has been posting a series about “Charm Stick” objects at, and over on Papers Falling from an Attic Window.

According to Hughes, these curious shepherd’s crooks first appeared in the 1770s as part of a fashion fad, possibly inspired by ceremonial maces. They saw a resurgence in the 1820s, and they continued to be known throughout the nineteenth century.

The first clue that we have as to their use as “charm sticks” is in Soames’ Curiosities of Literature, from 1847, dealing with superstitious practices in Devon. By Nicholaj De Mattos Frisvold, with cover art by Kyle Fite, is a recent release from Hadean Press. “Of all the Living Traditions, Obeah has remained the most elusive. Whilst Vodou and Santeria have had both academic and occult treatment in tomes widely available to the seeker, Obeah has stayed uncompromisingly rooted as a sorcerous tradition veiled in obscurity. In Obeah: A Sorcerous Ossuary, Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold teases open this Caribbean mystery and reveals a crooked path into the hidden world of Papa Bones and Sasabonsam with a short monograph concerning the history of this incoherent cult and the ways in which power is bestowed upon and wielded by the Obeahman.

The text includes the Kabalistic Banquette of Lemegeton, the Hypostasis of Abysina Clarissa and the Green Beasts, a Kabalistic Mass for Anima Sola Mayanet, a Call to Papa Bones, a Call to Spirit Guides, a Call to Anima Sola Abysina Clarissa, the Missale Ezekiel Sasabonson or the Conjuration of the Shadow-Self, and the Ritual Reptilica de Anansi, and offers insights into the Obeahman’s special relationship with the spirits of wood, water, and bone. This book is currently available in trade hardback and digital editions. We will also be releasing a very special hand bound and extremely limited edition of 21 copies.

We are not taking reservations for the limited edition at this time.” []. Has announced Serpent Songs, a new anthology of voices of Traditional Craft, as available for pre-order. This was announced via their subscriber list, but embargoed until today, so I don’t have a link to the work yet but information on this should be available on their website shortly (and the ).

This title will be initially available in a a couple of variously limited fetish editions with paperback and digital to follow. “ Serpent Songs are the words and works of those who remain untamed, Cunning Folk, Exorcists, Pellars, Sorgin, Witches and Mystics.

A collection of fifteen essays are introduced and curated by Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold through whose contacts we encounter the worlds of lone individuals and tradition holders, from both family and clan, and are allowed a rare glimpse into the workings of the more secretive practitioners of the Craft. Traditional Craft is intimately bound to the spirit of the land. Serpent Songs contains the accounts of Cornish and Basque witchcraft, the relatively unknown Swedish Trolldom, the persecuted Bogomils, and the oft misrepresented Italian Streghoneria. Members of 1734, Clan Tubal Cain and The Companie of the Serpent-Cross are among those who choose to share their experiences and perspectives. Light is shed on such important figures as Robert Cochrane, Evan John-Jones and Andrew Chumbley amongst others, but more than illustrious ancestors, Traditional Craft is revealed as a living throng.

These are the voices of those who work the art and this book details their practices, struggles and wayward journeys. Serpent Songs takes a crooked path through the landscape, from historical studies to practical acts, from lonely stone stiles set between deep hedges to the warm entrails of animals and forays into the caves and woods.

Serpent Songs is a wide ranging work that deals with the issues of witch blood, taboo, the other, the liminal state, fire, dream, art and need as vectors of the Craft. What emerges is not a narrow definition of what it means to engage in Traditional Craft, but a set of shared characteristics and approaches which become evident despite the cultural gulfs in place and time. This is a book of praxis, beliefs and their own definitions of the art itself rather than those applied to it by outsiders. These are the voices who for the most part operate in silence but now wish to be heard. By from is available for pre-order in standard and fine editions. Paperback and digital editions are planned as well for the future.

“Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold’s Exu & the Quimbanda of Night and Fire, is the strong companion to Pomba Gira and together with her gives the most complete account of this sorcerous cult. This is an encyclopaedic study of the devilish opposer. Many will be drawn to this book by the prospect of possession work and necromantic practice, they will not be disappointed. It is a veritable Devil’s Bible. Exu is the fusion of Umbanda, Angolan sorcery, European demonology and Kardec’s spiritism, erupting in a uniquely Brazilian cult of practical magical action. Spells, workings, hierarchies and origins are all given in detail. This is an essential text for students of the grimoires, Satanism and Traditional Witchcraft, as well as those drawn to, or working within, the cults of Quimbanda, Candomble, Santeria, Palo Mayombe and the ATRs.

Quimbanda is a living tradition that gets results. It is a massive storehouse of magical lore, heresies and history which has absorbed aspects of Goetia, Grimorium Verum, Red Dragon and even Huysman’s La Bas. Frisvold is an intiate and gives an insider’s view, drawing upon his years of experience in the cult.

With access to texts, manuscripts and personal testimony, this is the most definitive work on Exu available in English. His previous works have gained acclaim amongst the most demanding of critics, those within the cult itself. The origin of Exu is explored from the iconic Baphomet of Eliphas Levi and the influence of St Cyprian the patron saint of necromancers, back to Umbanda and the traditional African religions. Exu revels in a unique heritage that encompasses a Gnostic account of the crucifixion mystery, the concealed nature of St Michael Archangel and the native Shamanism of the Caboclos. A forceful spirit, Exu presides over the kingdom of the world, and offers a fierce path for those that would have him as companion.

He asks, what does it mean to be a man? The Seven Legions of Exus are ‘hot’ spirits, and their work is considered black magic.

The perils of this work are given, with the dangers of obsession by the Qlippoth and vampirism described. Guidance is offered and the path to ascension shown. This is a mature understanding forged in night and fire. An octavo book of 336 pp illustrated with ten portraits of Exu in pen and ink by Enoque Zedro, and over 120 pontos riscados/seals. Explicit workings for good and ill, a herbarium and details of offerings, powders and baths and songs make this an essential resource. Frisvold also discusses the fearsome Exu Mor for the first time, a subject not treated in his previous works.” [via email].
