The great Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and fortune. She is renowned across all of India as the most beneficent goddess of the Hindu Pantheon. She not only bestows wealth and fortune in the material world, but also the spiritual. That is the beauty of Lakshmi. When you call upon her, she prepares you for wealth and fortune from the inside out. Often it happens very quickly and in some cases, it can take some time. In either case, she is very responsive. In this book, we will tap into the 8 manifestations of this great Goddess. These 8 emanations will help you achieve wealth and prosperity in more than one area of life. Unlike her some of her fellow goddesses, she is gentile. She is not a Kali or a Druga, she will approach you gently. We will discuss the idea of the divine feminine and then we will discuss Lakshmi in a bit more detail and then get right to business. Let us begin.
Durga is a very special goddess. When I first encountered her, I was a little hesitant, but I knew deep down I needed to work with her. From 2014-2015, she has guided me. Ever so often, I am guided to work with one specific deity for a prolong period of time. It was Durga's turn then. She is by far one of the most beloved of the Hindu Goddess. She is fiercely loyal and will pull out all the stops when she is protecting her own. She is, in many ways, a gentler version of Kali, but not quite as gentle as Parvati or Lakshmi. Durga's name means "Impassable and invincible". The name is derived from the Sanskrit word for fortress, Durg. She has several forms. In this book , we will deal with her nine forms, also known as Navadurga or literally 'Nine Forms of Goddess Durga" Each one has a purpose and we will perform nine rituals, one for each form. Her essence is very much immanent in the world. She has a transcendent and limitless quality, yet she is very present and accessible. Although "milder" than Kali, Durga will still challenge you in ways that are just right for you to get the lesson and learn. When I worked with her, there were time when I was stubborn, she was able to push me to get me back on track. Seldom will she push you too hard, but it can be uncomfortable. Kali on the other hand will shove you right into the fire. Her mantras are often recited when people need protection and security. In this book we will tap into her nine names for the following purposes:Durga Form 1 - In this form, she is associated with the Root Chakra and therefore, we will use her to attain more grounding in this world. This will impact you finances and other related issue. Durga Form 2 - In this form, we will use her to attain occult and spiritual knowledge. Durga form 3 - Devi Chandraghanta - In this form, we will call upon her for protection. Durga form 4 - In this form we will call upon her to bestow upon us supernatural and occult powers. Durga Form 5 - In this form, we will use her to conquer our enemies. Durga Form 6 - In this form, we will use her to get rid of negative spiritual entities that may be haunting you. Durga Form 7 - This is similar to Katyayani, but much more fierce in her energy. We will use her to eradicate demonic energies in your abode. Durga Form 8 - We will use her to attain good health and renewed vigor. You can also use her for love as well. The ritual for her can be used for either of those. I will get into that when we discuss her more in-depth. Durga Form 9 - We will use her to enhance our magickal practice, no matter what tradition. Reciting her mantra in this form, is of immense value to your entire magickal practice. Each of these rituals will have special mantras associated with them. I will transliterate them as we go. We have a lot to cover, now let us proceed.
Ganesha also known more commonly in the west as Ganesh, is one of the most beloved, if not the most beloved deities in Hinduism. He is best known for his ability to help people remove obstacles in their lives. Although this I my first book on Ganesh, I have taught people the Ganesh mantras and they have used it with great success. I have received several emails stating that the Ganesh mantra added that extra spark they needed in their lives. Not only did it take their mantra work to a new level, some also used it in conjunction with western magick and he came through for them. Ganesh has an elephant head and this fact makes him very easy to recognize. However, what he is most known for his willingness and ability to help people remove obstacles in their lives. In addition to that, he is also a patron of the arts and sciences and has been known to help people with these fields as well. He is so effective that his worship can be found outside of Hinduism as well. Jains and Buddhists are also known to have devotion towards him. Although I do not have a main practice to Ganesh, I have used his power several times and can attest to his efficacy as can so many people not only in my sphere but the millions around the world. In this book, we will be tapping into his power for the following purposes: To Remove Obstacles (general). To Gain Financial Prosperity. Can Be used For Good Health As well. To Gain Extreme Good Luck In All Endeavors To Help You in All Your Relationships, Including Romantic ones. To Help You Remove Stress in Your Life. To Gain Leadership Skills To Quiet Ones Ego To Achieve Spiritual Unity with the Divine
What you are about to learn right now is rather obscure. In fact, there is only one other book written on this particular topic. It's a hidden side of an otherwise popular spiritual practice. What you will learn is the Dark Mantras of Subjugation called Vashikaran. I call them dark because they are meant to "subjugate" or "command" people and events to your will. Often mantras are associated with pure and spiritual practices. We use mantras to achieve altered states of consciousness, We use them to attract divine blessings. Seldom do we hear about people using mantras to control another person or persons. That kind of thing was relegated to black magick and witchcraft here in the west. But is it truly black magic? Is there actually such a thing as white and black magick in the eastern traditions? Or perhaps we , in the west interpret these things in stark black and white terms?In this book, we will discuss the Vashikaran Mantras and their dark powers
Shiva, is one of the most mysterious Gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil, yet fierce energy can seem out of reach for some. His images often depict him in a meditative state or in his most common form, the Nataraja or the one who dances within the circular fires that represent creation and dissolution. He is by far one of the most ancient of the Hindu Gods, there are hints of him in the Vedas, and this form is often called "proto-Shiva." In his current incarnation he is part of the Hindu Trinity that is comprised of the Gods Brahma and Vishnu. Shiva's name means "the auspicious one". Shiva is the God of creation, destruction and regeneration. It is for this reason his mantras are so powerful, they are multipurpose and can serve the magician in any way he or she sees fit.Although most deities that I work with are female, Shiva is the only exception. He has been my patron for decades, I even have a tattoo of his image on my back. He is very close to me. Often Shiva is associated with unbridled sexuality, eccentricity and nirvanic states. He has all these within himself. He is no doubt a figure that would be interpreted in the west as the embodiment of all that is evil, sinful and dark. This reputation is not helped by the fact many of his followers are known to perform actions that are often shocking and even downright lewd. They do this not because they are degenerates, but because they are trying to prove a point. In many ways, Shiva is the God of the outcasts. Shiva will challenge you in ways other Gods will not. He will force you to go deep into your nature. If you are not introspective, Shiva will and can be a nightmare for you. He will force you to break open. His mantras are often recited when people need help. All problems you may have, be they physical, mental or spiritual he can help you.
If you have read my other books you know that I recommend the use of mantras as a vehicle for magick. They are very powerful and often times easy to recite. In my other books that deal with mantras I provide a bonus chapter on something called "Siddhi." I have been asked several times to go into greater depth about this and so I have decided to write this text. By attaining Siddhi, while using a mantra, you are literally embodying the power of that mantra. You will have the mantras power. For example, if you are looking to attract material abundance, the seed mantra for that is SHREEM. If you recite SHREEM 10,000 times, you will attain the essence of that Supernatural power. You will be able to recite SHREEM and attain your material goals easily. You will be a magnet as it were. You will attain supernatural powers. In this book, we will discuss, in greater depth, what Siddhi is. After that, I will present a few powerful mantras and provide you the exact number of recitations you will need to attain Siddhi. Not all mantras have the same recitation count. I will also provide helpful tips on how to keep track of your recitations and most importantly, we will discuss the immense responsibility given you once you achieve Siddhi. Do Not take this lightly, once you achieve Siddhi for any given mantra, you will possess that power. USE IT WISELY.
How do you live a life of spiritual awakening as well as outer abundance, inner freedom as well as deep intimacy? How do you serve the world selflessly, yet passionately celebrate your life? The sages of Tantra have known for centuries that when you follow the path of Shakti—the sacred feminine principle personified by the goddesses of yoga—these gifts can manifest spontaneously. Yet most of us, women as well as men, have yet to experience the full potential of our inner feminine energies. When you know these powers for what they are, they heighten your capacity to open spiritually, love more deeply and fearlessly, create with greater mastery, and move through the world with skill and delight. In Awakening Shakti, you will learn how to recognize and invite: Kali, bringer of strength, fierce love, and untamed freedomLakshmi, who confers prosperity and beautySaraswati, for clarity of communication and intuitionRadha, who carries the divine energy of spiritual longingBhuvaneshvari, who creates the space for sacred transformationParvati, to awaken creativity and the capacity to love With a wealth of meditations, visualizations, mantras, teachings, and beautifully told stories, Awakening Shakti provides a practical guide for activating the currents of the divine feminine in every aspect of your life. “Sally Kempton's new book is a treasure that brings myth, meditation, and everyday revelation together in a way that will allow every woman to embody the divine feminine in her life. Sally enlivens the full spectrum of the goddess—from independent protector, to lover, to dynamic and powerful creatrix. I highly recommend this soon-to-be classic!” —Shiva Rea, yogini “Sally Kempton has given us a mythic manual for a new kind of feminism—a feminism of the soul. And this is a good thing, because humanity needs feminine power now as both a healing tonic and a source of reinvention.” —Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of the Omega Institute, author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow
For most, the goddess Tara the Goddess of compassion and protection. Few people know that she has several other natures as well; 21 in all. She, like most deities in the eastern religions, whether it be Hinduism or certain forms of Buddhism, have several different natures. As I stated in the book on Kali in this series, I mentioned that many deities have qualities that we, in the west, may consider to be "evil" but in the east, they are considered "wrathful." Tara and her energies are very well suited for use in Magick. More often than not, her energy is loving and embracing. But as I said, she has a wrathful nature that can very much be equated to the Hindu Goddess Durga and perhaps even Kali of the Hindu traditions. This wrathful nature can be harnessed. With that said, let's take a journey through the energies of Tara.
When one looks back in ancient history, there are a few great magicians that stand out. Magicians that shook the world so intensely that their influence continues to inform not only the occult, but history in general. We have Apollonius of Tyana, the great wizard and Neopythagorean philosopher, the famed Hermes Trismegistus who has influenced occultism far and wide. From the Old Testament we have the witch of Endor, Balaam and King Solomon to name a few. From the New Testament we have Simon Magus, Paul and so on and so forth. We can be here for days naming each and every magician and occultist who has influenced all of us, whether we know they have or not. One magician, however, stands out. To most he is not considered a magician at all but a prophet of God, the messiah himself...Jesus. No matter how one views Jesus, there is no doubt it that his "miracles" as people like to call them, were in fact, acts of magick. In this book we will be discussing Jesus magick and how we can tap into his power. Whether you believe Jesus truly existed as a flesh and blood human being or as simply an archetype representing an idea, there is no doubt that Jesus changed the world with his teachings or the teachings ascribed to him. In saying that, I would like to point out that this book will not argue for or against the historicity of Jesus; that is for you, the reader to decide. My goal here is to provide a way to use some of the symbology of Jesus to perform magick. It may not be the same exact magick he himself performed. As you may know from my other books, I like to give some background before I go into the rituals themselves. This book will follow the same pattern. In fact, this book will be quite heavy on history so if you want to skip right to the rituals you may if the history is not something that interests you. I for one think every occultist and magician should also be an historian. It helps put everything in context. History of humanity is in many ways the history of magick, it is very much worth learning. With that in mind, we will be discussing Jesus and his magick in context of the New Testament, with some smattering of extra canonical gospels thrown in for good measure. Before we do that, we will discuss the time in which Jesus existed and the general ideas of magick preceding and during Jesus time. Enjoy!
