Magic and the Power of the Goddess

Více o knize

This manual offers magical and mystical techniques for connecting with the Goddess within, drawing from two thousand years of source material to highlight the enduring significance of feminine power today. It includes rituals, exercises, and techniques for invoking the Goddess, while explaining how the dynamics of the sacred or magic circle can guide harmonious living. Gareth Knight presents a comprehensive view of magic and ritual, illustrating the Goddess's presence throughout Western esoteric traditions. He explores her manifestations in Greek myths, the Mysteries of Isis, the cult of the Blessed Virgin, and seventeenth-century Rosicrucian spiritual alchemy, revealing how the Goddess—representing the elemental consciousness of Earth—has appeared across different eras. Knight honors her diverse forms as maiden, mother, initiator, protector, sorceress, and faery queen, providing guided meditations on each aspect to help practitioners connect with the healing energy of the Divine Feminine. Additionally, he offers practical tools for integrating the Western magical tradition with Goddess worship, emphasizing the need to recognize the power of the feminine principle for our well-being and that of the planet, as its repression has led to suffering in both realms.
