Secrets of Planetary Ritual is the first English translation of the authentic planetary invocations of the Harranian Sabians from the most famous of astrological grimoires, the Picatrix. It contains full instructions for the ritual conjuration of the seven planets. Translated by John Michael Greer and Christopher Warnock from Pingree's Latin critical edition it also contains the Arabic spirit names from the Ritter & Plessner's German translation of Picatrix. Authentic and magically potent, Secrets of Planetary Ritual provides the perfect ceremonial invocations for the creation of planetary talismans.
The Picatrix is the most famous grimoire of astrological magic and one of the most important works of medieval and Renaissance magic. With all four books of the Latin Picatrix complete in one volume, translated & annotated by the noted scholars, magicians and astrologers John Michael Greer & Christopher Warnock, Picatrix takes its rightful place as an essential occult text. Picatrix is an encyclopedic work with over 300 pages of Hermetic magical philosophy, ritual, talismanic and natural magic. Greer & Warnock's complete translation is lucid and well annotated and was created by astrologers and magicians for astrologers and magicians. Greer & Warnock's translation was intended to make this incredible grimoire accessible to practitioners and has made an important contribution to the revival of traditional astrological magic.
The first encyclopedia to analyze, summarize, and explain the complexities of men's lives and the idea of modern manhood. The process of "making masculinity visible" has been going on for over two decades and has produced a prodigious and interesting body of work. But until now the subject has had no authoritative reference source. Men & Masculinities, a pioneering two-volume work, corrects the oversight by summarizing the latest historical, biological, cross-cultural, psychological, and sociological research on the subject. It also looks at literature, art, and music from a gender perspective. The contributors are experts in their specialties and their work is directed, organized, and coedited by one of the premier scholars in the field, Michael Kimmel. The coverage brings together for the first time considerable knowledge of men and manhood, focusing on such areas as sexual violence, intimacy, pornography, homophobia, sports, profeminist men, rituals, sexism, and many other important subjects. Clearly, this unique reference is a valuable guide to students, teachers, writers, policymakers, journalists, and others who seek a fuller understanding of gender in the United States.
This work offers new metaphors to understand our biological world, one more in accord with scientific evidence, more in harmony with preserving our planet, and one which leads us to live fuller lives. First, it recognizes a "natural extravagance," that life often exceeds our expectation in terms of number, variety, beauty, and capacity for change. Our ability to understand and even to categorize life's many manifestations is often beyond our reach. Such extravagance is accompanied by an important second dimension, life's dynamic vulnerability. Life needs to take in outside energy to exist and is acutely sensitive to the environment with its many vagaries. This vulnerability is paradoxically linked to a dynamism which leads to evolutionary novelty. Rather than emphasizing the end state of evolution in terms of "fitness," this work focuses on the vulnerable process of change itself. In re-envisioning biology, more accurate to the onrush of current discoveries, we offer a vision that better protects and preserves our world. The issue at hand is nothing less than our evolutionary future.
