Ritual + Magic

A practical, modern-day exploration of one of the oldest, most universal, and storied forms of folk magic.
 
Antonio Pagliarulo explores the phenomenon of the Evil Eye: what it is, its origins and causes— and, most crucially, how to avoid, repel, and remove it. Rich with cultural anecdotes and traditions, mystical lore, and modern concepts, The Evil Eye offers practical advice for shielding yourself from the destructive and lingering power of this mysterious and persistent force.
 
The book:

• Defines the Evil Eye and traces its roots into antiquity and across an extraordinary breadth of cultures and traditions
• Shows readers how to diagnose the Evil Eye, how to cure it, and how to cast it on others
• Explores the use of amulets and talismans bearing the “Evil Eye,” including its remarkable prevalence in popular jewelry designs
• Includes the history and use of various talismans such as the Hamsa; the Italian cornicello and mano figa; the azabache stone; the Kabbalah red string; mirror pendants; and many others

For much of the 20th and 21st centuries, women’s sexuality was an uncharted territory in science, studied far less frequently—and far less seriously—than its male counterpart.

That is, until Emily Nagoski’s Come As You Are, which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they’re organized but how you feel about them. In the years since the book’s initial publication, countless women have learned through Nagoski’s accessible and informative guide that things like stress, mood, trust, and body image are not peripheral factors in a woman’s sexual wellbeing; they are central to it—and that even if you don’t always feel like it, you are already sexually whole by just being yourself. This revised and updated edition continues that mission with new information and advanced research, demystifying and decoding the science of sex so that everyone can create a better sex life and discover more pleasure than you ever thought possible.

A thoughtful, accessible, hands-on guide to the increasingly popular practice of candle magic. Author Phillip Cooper offers techniques for training your mind and working with the energy of candles. The Power of Candle Magic shows how the magical use of candle energy can brighten your attitude, help focus your attention, create abundance, help you with healing, and draw more love into your life.
 
“The Power of Candle Magic contains practical information that can be put to excellent use by anyone. Transcending just burning candles, Cooper presents an entire system of magic with candle burning as its centerpiece. For those new to magical practice, Cooper’s system is effective, and you may find it a good place to begin. For adepts or those already on their paths, pan for the gold within these pages: take what works for you and integrate it into your magic.” —Judika Illes

A practical guide for bringing magic into your life using plants and herbs, the seasons, and the natural elements

A “wild witch” is someone who has discovered the true source of magic. She finds her magic in the elements of the earth, the ways of healing herbs and scented flowers, the ocean’s tides, the cycle of the moon, and the energies of the planets. By becoming intimate with nature, a wild witch comes to see the living spirits in all things—everything is alive. She learns that these spirits must be honored and then they will act as trustworthy guides. In essence a wild witch is a child of nature, a wise woman, a lore master, and a healer.

In this book you will learn how to use:

• Herbs, plants, and trees

• The element of fire through candle magic and spell casting

• The hidden spirit of water through purification, dosing, and scrying

• The language of flowers and scents

• The rhythms of nature, the seasons’ cycles, and rituals of sacred day

Embrace your wild witch and rediscover the natural magic in your life.

An ode to Rosa Gallica — the apothecary rose. This latest addition to the Parfum Crème line melts into the skin like butter, imbuing flesh with the heavenly scent of heirloom roses and verdant freshly cut stems bolstered by the aroma of sweet tarragon, jammy apricot, and warm, resinous, and earthy myrrh.  

Though the exact timeline of rose gallica's history is shrouded in a fragrant veil of mystery, it's told to have first bloomed in antiquity. Born to Persia (Iran), it was prized not only for its enticing aroma and grace but for culinary and medicinal uses as well. As the centuries passed, the bloom migrated from Southwestern Asia to Europe where, by the Middle Ages, it became the first cultivated rose found in the cloistered gardens of medieval monasteries. 

At the turn of the 19th century, French druggists used it as a symbol of their pharmaceutical pursuits, flanking the entrance of their apothecaries with it — giving Rosa Gallica the common name of 'The Apothecary's Rose'. Fast-forward to the 21st century, this heirloom rose is still cherished for its beauty as well as its longstanding historical legacy and the ongoing use of its culinary, olfactory, and medicinal virtues.

THE RITUAL: Scoop out the desired amount of this scented balm and gently warm it between your fingers before applying it to pulse points (wrists, the crook of the elbow, the nape of the neck, the décoleté) or wherever you please. Solid perfumes perform best when in contact with heat and do wonderfully on warm summer days, or when applied under the collar of a shirt when the temperature drops. Those with facial hair may consider working a small amount into their beards if desired, as well.
