Magick in Ancient Egypt by Eris

“O Isis great enchantress, free me, release me from all evil red things, from the fever of the god and the fever of the goddess. From death, and deathfrom pain, and the pain that comes over me; as though hast freed, as thou hast released thy son Horus, whilst I enter into the fire and go forth from the water.”

Starting a Herb Garden

The idea that a herb garden should be near the kitchen may be ignored. It is more important that your herb garden should look neat and that you are able to reach each plant with ease. Remember that herbs are undemanding plants, easy to grow and look after on a small scale. They are not fussy as to soil or any special treatment, although, as with all living things, the more care and attention they receive, the better they flourish.

The Rose by Daniel Kemp

In the beginning, was simplicity.
There was no rationalization, the precious gift of humanity which tears things down into self contained bits in order to make sense of things, only to find that our mental dissection has rendered experience senseless.

Lodestones:

It is naturally magnetic, one of its prime magickal uses is for attraction. Attraction of just about anything. One lodestone on the altar can be used for attraction of positive things, while a second one can be used to repel negative items. It is a power stone, and can be used to strengthen any spell. Also can be used to draw illness from the body. Very protective stone, due to its magnetic nature.

Christ’s Role, As He Might Have Meant It: a Discussion by Crystal Kernan

It seems that organized religion has assumed the role of Christ in the dispensation of Truth, be it relating to the church itself or in the very Word of God. The Pope, when speaking in his official capacity, is considered to be the mouthpiece of God.” Many churches actually dissuade their congregations from the exploration of scripture. Many churches frown on alternative, esoteric thought. But wasn’t Christ all these things? A student?

Enzymes

Enzymes are substances that occur naturally in all living things, including the human body. If it’s an animal or a plant, it has enzymes. Enzymes are critical for life. At present, researchers have identified more than 3,000 different enzymes in the human body. Every second of our lives these enzymes are constantly changing and renewing, sometimes at an unbelievable rate.

Kumiho

by Charles La Shure

 
Kumiho means, literally, “nine-tailed fox.” The following description appears (word for word) in both the Donga Color World Encyclopedia (Tonga wonsaek segye paekhwasajeon) and the Dusan Great World Encyclopedia (Tusan segye taebaekhwasajeon):
“A fox with nine tails that commonly appears in the oral tales of our country. It can freely transform into, among other things, a bewitching girl that seduces men. A fox that lives a thousand years is said to turn into a kumiho. There are a number of legendary tales in which the kumiho appears.” A half dozen or so of those legendary tales can be found in the encyclopedic Compendium of Korean Oral Literature (Hanguk kubimunhak taegye). A quick look at them will help supplement the brief description given above.
