Gard Jameson's Phaethon is, as the subtitle conveys it, "a story for our mythic moment." Jameson explores the universe and the world of life with a distinctive perspective, which starts from the myths and poetry of classic antiquity and reaches "the body, the mind, the heart, and the soul" in four successive chapters full of inspiration and lyricism. This is a book like no other that I know of, where meaning and purpose emerge from a consideration of our cultural history while seeking an understanding of the "sublime beauty and exalted goodness" of the universe and of life in earth.

Inspired by a Vision of Awen depicting a spear, a flowering branch, and a horned serpent emanating from three drops of wisdom, surrounded by three worlds, Christopher Penczak received a teaching to reconcile many disparate parts of modern Witchcraft into a cohesive body of magickal lore for personal evolution and enlightenment. Experimented with and expanded upon, this lore is now shared through his book The Three Rays of Witchcra!: Power, Love and Wisdom in the Garden of the Gods. Striving to weave the diverse threads of his personal practice together, the Three Rays provided Christopher with a powerful framework to bring together modern Wicca, Traditional Craft, Druidism, Theosophy, Qabalah, Shamanism, and alternative health into a greater whole. The text outlines a model of the universe based upon the forces of Power, Love, and Wisdom. Associated with each is a ray, a path we can travel spiritually and evoke energetically. Known as the Straight Line, the Bent Line and the Crooked Line, each offers different magick, knowledge and mysteries. Each ray is associated with a race of spiritual entities with whom we can partner, including the angels, faeries, animal powers and ancestors. "... an offering full of angels and fairies, gods and humans, diverse yet connected and each with their own powers and wisdom." - Sorita ďEste, author of Hekate Liminal Rites, Practical Planetary Magick, and The Guises of the Morriga"

The Mighty Dead, the Hidden Company, the Secret Chiefs, the Withdrawn Order, the Inner Plane Adepts, the Masters, the Bodhisattva and the Saints - all names for the enlightened dead who guide the spiritual traditions and evolution of humanity through the mysteries. They are found in traditions across the world, east and west, old and new. They were the guiding force of the occult revival at the turn of the 20th century, and continue to aid us today. Often overlooked in the traditions of the Witch, yet ever present in the form of the Mighty Dead, first written about publicly in the works of Gerald Gardner. These are the elder spirits who gather by the edges of our circle to witness our magick, and if asked, can enter into relationship with us. They are the true teachers of the mysteries, and the true initiators. The Mighty Dead help us regenerate our own lost traditions, awakening our spiritual roots to deeper truths. By forging connections with them, collectively or individually, we too can learn how to evolve and pass through the cycles of reincarnation to become one with these sanctified masters. Hand in hand we shall ecstatically dance together at the eternal Sabbat of the Witch.

The Mighty Dead

In August of 2011, members of the Temple of Witchcraft took part in a sacred pilgrimage to the British Isles to visit the sacred site of Glastonbury Tor and the Chalice Well. They stayed at the Chalice Well House and performed nightly rituals in the garden to connect and work with the energies and spirits of this sacred site, long associated with the legendary Isle of Avalon. Now join them through this collection of remembrances and records of their rituals, meditations, and insights at the Red and White Wells, the Tower of St. Michael, Stonehenge, Gog &amp; Magog, the Uffington Horse, and other sacred sites. The Waters and Fires of Avalon features the work of renowned Witchcraft author and Temple founder Christopher Penczak, and all profits go to support the work of the Temple, a 501(c)3 religion nonprofit.
