DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen we conjure up the idea of the devil and the demonic hordes in our mind, we are often thinking in the context of how Christianity has portrayed them. The devil and his supposed horns, the Exorcist's battle with the demon possessed, the inverted cross, the Osculum infame (The Infamous kiss) or the Black Mass in which a young woman is sacrificed to Satan. All these are mostly influenced by Christian ideas in some way or another. The Prominence of Christianity in the study of demonology cannot be denied. There is, however, a lesser-known branch of demonology. One that has not been Christianized, yet Christians too have been informed by it. It is far older than Christianity, one that traces it roots back to the dawn of humanity. A demonology that is little known, yet invaluable for those of us in the Occult. It is the demonological ideas found within the Hebrew tradition. The Hebrew demonic tradition It is not as popular ONLY because no one has been able to bring all the pieces together, nor have they the ability to translate the source material from Aramaic and Hebrew to English. Most reiterate what has already been written, but with no foundational knowledge. In this book, I look to remedy that. This is not a boast, I am simply stating the facts. The Hebrew tradition has a rich and powerful Demonological tradition that is often not spoken of, even amongst kabbalists in fear that the demons and their minions will taint them or bring them bad luck. It is for this reason certain Jewish groups inundate their homes with magical talismans warding off the evil eye, the demoness Lilith and even the great demon Ashmodei (Asmodeus). In this book, I will take you through an academic and magickal journey through the Sitra Achra; the other side of the light as it is understood in the Hebrew tradition. You will not only learn, but you will experience.**Please note, this is not a book on the history of Hebrew or Jewish magick, although it will contain magick rites in it. This book is an elucidation on how the Hebrew tradition views demons and ghosts.** In this book you will learn: How the demonic idea developed, starting with the Old Testament and prior to.We will examine several demons and ghostly figures and their natures as told and experienced by the Great Rabbinic sages of the Talmud and the Kabbalah.You will learn the varying classes of demons and malignant spirits.We all know Lilith, but there are a few other female demonesses that we will encounter on this journey. Some you may have never heard of before.I will explain how the concept of the Sitra Achra unfolded at the moment of creation. You will learn how the Klippot came to be and their true nature. They are the husks of the Sitra Achra, the shards of the Sefirot. I will guide you through the various Hebrew and Aramaic texts that have been a stumbling block to most when approaching this topic.Finally, I will present five meditations and rituals you can use to romance the forces of the Sitra Achra.Let us begin.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDiscover the rich spirituality of monastic life on Mount Athos--a place like no other on earth. Twenty-five years ago, M. Basil Pennington, OCSO, was the first Western monk to live on Mount Athos for more than the usually permitted overnight visit. The Monks of Mount Athos chronicles his extraordinary stay, his experiences of the East, and lively conversations with his hosts about theological differences and unfamiliar spiritual practices. Listen in as Abbot Basil wrestles with historical differences between Christianity's East and West, learns the Orthodox practice of "the prayer of the heart," and explores the landscape, the monastic communities, and the food of Athos--a monastic republic like no other place on earth. New to this edition, Archimandrite Dionysios, a monk from "the Holy Mountain," reflects on the ecumenical openness fostered as a result of, and since, Abbot Basil's stay. The abbot's experiences on Mount Athos motivated him to re-examine his role as a monk and his relationship to God. His inspiring meditations will help you to explore your own relationship to God and to others.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor most of us, we tend to hyper focus on beings such as Angels, demons and spirits of the dead etc. But, as you know, there is more out there than that. There is a class of being that is neither angel nor spirit of the dead. They are a parallel entity to humans. The Islamic Satan is one of these beings; which is a departure from the west where the devil is an angel gone rouge. These entities are so intertwined with us that it is impossible to go about our days without having some interaction with them. When things go bump in the night we assume it is one of the 3 classes of spiritual entities we are most familiar with, demons, angels and spirits of the dead etc. However, more often than not, they are neither of these 3. They are unto a class of their own. In folklore they are known as Jinn also known as Djinn. Jinn were brought to light via the religion of Islam, although texts do mention them before Islam. It is from Islamic stories however where we get a clearer picture of what the Jinn are. In fact, modern ideas of the Genie in the bottle is directly from stories about the Jinn. The word genie is derived from the word Jinn. Aladdin when he rubbed his lamp was speaking to a Jinn. In the west, Jinn are very much misunderstood. Often we associate them with demons or devils. Yes, some do have malevolent intent, and as I mentioned the "devil" in Islam is a Jinn, but there are many Jinn who are "good." They are more like humans than you can imagine, yet they have abilities we do not have, but can harness. In this book, we will discuss not only the nature of and type of Jinn, but also how to bind them to work for you. Before I continue however I'd like to give a warning. Jinn, like other spiritual entities need to be communicated with care. They can grant you what you want, but be careful what you ask for. Jinn are notorious pranksters, you might get what you want, but in a way you really would rather not have it...You have been warned. With that said, let us go deeper into the world of the Jinn.
