Lon Milo DuQuette Knihy

Autobiografie hvězdy moderního okultismu. Vlastní životopis moderního mága, jenž v současné okultní literatuře představuje hvězdu první velikosti. Na rozdíl od většiny autorů, kteří jen opisují ze starší literatury, je Lon Milo DuQuette praktikujícím mágem a skutečným znalcem oboru. Avšak i když bere magii, kabalu, tarot a západní ezoterickou tradici velmi vážně, snaží se nebrat příliš vážně sebe sama.

Kniha Klíč k Šalomounovu klíči se zabývá legendární postavou krále Šalomouna z historického i esoterního pohledu, přičemž důkladně zkoumá historii řádu templářů a nabízí překvapivé odhalení jejich tajemství. V obřadech zednářů nachází důkazy o možném spojení templářů se zednáři (autor sám je významným členem Cechu). Součástí je i zasvěcený pohled na biblické příběhy Starého zákona, zkoumání jejich historické věrnosti, jakož i seznámení s vnitřními rozpory v církvi v prvních stoletích n. l. V části Šalomounova magie odhaluje a vysvětluje sedm Šalomounových tajemství a v příloze nabízí výňatky ze spisu Clavicula Solomonis Regis (Klíčky krále Šalomouna), uvádějícího některé magické symboly, rekvizity a formule, včetně popisu všech 72 pečetí. Nejedná se o spekulace ve stylu Dana Browna, ale o odbornou práci, která se přesto čte jako napínavý román. Je to jednoduchá, jasná a metodická studie poznání a nezávislého myšlení, která vede čtenáře krok za krokem k pochopení principů magie, ale i k poznání sebe sama.

A unique and humorous -- and also practical -- approach to the increasingly popular study of Qabalah. This is a seriously funny book Traditional Qabalistic (or Cabalistic, or, indeed, Kabbalistic -- read this book to find out what the difference is...we know you've always wondered) sources tend to be a bit, er, dry. DuQuette spices up the Qabalah and makes it come alive, restoring the joy of learning the fundamentals of this admittedly arcane system by using simple, amusing anecdotes and metaphors. This account, written psuedepigraphically (fictitiously attributed to a supposed authority), allows DuQuette as Rabbi Lamed Ben Clifford to soar to outrageous heights and, when necessary, stand apart from the silliness to highlight the golden eggs of Qabalistic wisdom nested therein. Sure to be a revelation to those who think that learning about the Qabalah needs to be tedious and serious, DuQuette shows that great truths can be transmitted through the medium of laughter. * A Dilettante's Guide to What You Do and Do Not Need to Know to Become a Qabalist .

Lon Milo DuQuette uses extensive research and his knowledge of esoteric topics to create a thrilling, humorous, and thought-provoking novel. Presents a compelling argument for why the Jesus myth may have become distorted and provides an alternative explanation of his resurrection.

Take a fascinating journey into the life of one of the most respected, sought-after, and renowned magicians alive today: Lon Milo DuQuette. In this follow-up to his popular autobiography, My Life with the Spirits , DuQuette tells how a friend was cursed by a well-known foreign filmmaker and how they removed that curse with a little help from Shakespeare. He explains how, as a six-year-old, he used the Law of Attraction to get a date with Linda Kaufman, the most beautiful girl in first-grade. DuQuette also reveals the ins and outs of working with demons and provides a compelling account of performing an exorcism at a private Catholic high school. As entertaining as they are informative, the true stories in this memoir contain authentic magical theory and invaluable technical information.

Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot was his final opus, the culmination of a lifetime of occult study and practice. With artist Lady Frieda Harris, he condensed the core of his teaching - astrology, Qabbalah, magick, gematria and numerology, and alchemy- into the 78 cards of the tarot. Although Crowley's own "Book of Thoth" provides insight into the cards, it is a complicated, dated book. What has been missing, and what Crowley authority Lon Milo DuQuette has created, is an introductory text for the deck. In clear language, DuQuette provides everything you need to know about Crowley's fundamental principles to get the most out of using the Thoth deck. Many use the deck simply because the artwork is so beautiful, but there is so much more to it than that. DuQuette starts with the basic historical background of this extremely popular deck before delving into descriptions of each card in depth, from both a purely tarot perspective and from an expanded, magickal point of view. Each card is described in detail regarding its straight tarot meaning, which is then expanded upon with all the other attributions Crowley intended. This unique guide will be of great interest to all tarot readers who use the Thoth Tarot—especially those looking for correspondences with other occult systems to enhance their readings- and will be treasured by students of Aleister Crowley's works.

Are angels and demons real? What makes the New Age the New Age? Does consciousness survive death? Writing from the perspective of a practicing ceremonial magician, one of America's most knowledgeable and engaging authorities on Western Hermeticism answers these questions and many more with humor and personal anecdotes. Illustrated and with color fold-out.

"This is the perfect introductory text for readers who wonder what the works-rather than the myth-of Aleister Crowley are all about. Some of the myths that have surrounded Crowley's life and legend are dispelled and the practice of rituals themselves are explored, in plain English, along with commentary from the author"--
