Turba Philosophorum - 2
The Twenty-Sixth Dictum.
Zenon saith:- I perceive that you, O crowd of the Wise, have conjoined two bodies, which your Master by no means ordered you to do!
The Turba answereth:- Inform us according to your own opinion, O Zenon, in this matter, and beware of envy! Then he:- Know that the colours which shall appear to you out of it are these. Know, O Sons of the Doctrine, that it behoves you to allow the composition to putrefy for forty days, and then to sublimate five times in a vessel. Next join to a fire of dung, and cook, when these colours shall appear to you: On the first day black citrine, on the second black red, on the third like unto a dry crocus, finally, the purple colour will appear to you; the ferment and the coin of the vulgar shall be imposed; then is the Ixir composed out of the humid and the dry, and then it tinges with an invariable tincture. Know also that it is called a body wherein there is gold. But when ye are composing the Ixir, beware lest you extract the same hastily, for it lingers. Extract, therefore, the same as an Ixir. For this venom is, as it were, birth and life, because it is a soul extracted out of many things, and imposed upon coins: its tincture, therefore, is life to those things with which it is joined, from which it removes evil, but it is death to the bodies from which it is extracted. Accordingly, the Masters have said that between them there exists the same desire as between male and female, and if any one, being introduced to this Art, should know these natures, he would sustain the tediousness of cooking until he gained his purpose according to the will of God.

Turba Philosophorum - 1
The Epistle of Arisleus, prefixed to the Words of the Sages, concerning the Purport of this Book, for the Benefit of Posterity, and the same being as here follows:-
Arisleus, begotten of Pythagoras, a disciple of the disciples by the grace of thrice great Hermes, learning from the seat of knowledge, unto all who come after wisheth health and mercy. I testify that my master, Pythagoras, the Italian, master of the wise and chief of the Prophets, had a greater gift of God and of Wisdom than was granted to any one after Hermes. Therefore he had a mind to assemble his disciples, who were now greatly increased, and had been constituted the chief persons throughout all regions for the discussion of this most precious Art, that their words might be a foundation for posterity. He then commanded Iximidrus, of highest council, to be the first speaker, who said: Read more

The Magical World of Dion Fortune
By Gareth Knight
Draw a line from St Alban’s Head on the south coast of England up to the holy island of Lindisfarne in the north east, passing through the great stone circle at Avebury, and another from King Arthur’s legendary birth place at Tintagel in Cornwall, across to St Albans north of London, the old Roman city of Verulamium and place of Britain’s first Christian martyr, and that line too will pass through Avebury. So says Mona Wilton, heroine of Dion Fortune’s novel The Goat-Foot God, to Hugh Paston when he is seeking a suitable site to construct a nature temple dedicated to the great god Pan.Thus the land of Albion (the ancient name for Britain the White Island) is divided up into four quarters of real significance, each having a different approach and response to the legends and traditions, be they Brythonic Celtic, Saxon or Viking.

“Magic is the first and the last religion of the world”
Imajica, Clive Barker
1. Prologue
This short account (since a longer one would take many volumes) of the western traditions of Magic and Spirituality is intended to show a continuous development line of an uninterrupted magical thought in the Western World. We start five thousand years in the past when our ancestors just started to build the first cities (and built them well), and we end in the twentieth century with the techno-shamanism of the new cults. This story is about what happened in between … Read more
