Summary

In "A Treatise on Bread, and Bread-making," Sylvester Graham explores the fundamental role of bread in the human diet, advocating for a return to wholesome, unrefined grains. The book is a pioneering work in the field of dietary reform, combining a scientific approach with philosophical musings on health, morality, and the industrial practices of the early 19th century. Graham employs a clear, didactic style that reflects his deep commitment to educating the public about nutrition, presenting bread as both a staple and a means of achieving a healthier society. His seminal ideas prefigured modern movements towards whole foods and vegetarianism, situating his work within the broader context of the health reform movements of his time. Sylvester Graham, a prominent dietary reformer, was influenced by the burgeoning theories of health and well-being that permeated American society during the early 1800s. His experience as a minister, combined with his passion for natural health, led him to recognize the detrimental effects of processed foods on the individual and the community. Graham's personal conviction in the power of natural foods reflects a deeper philosophical awareness of the interconnection between diet and moral living. This book is highly recommended for those who seek to understand the historical foundations of food reform and its relevance today. Whether one is interested in nutrition, the history of dietary habits, or the philosophy of health, Graham'Äôs treatise provides vital insights that resonate with contemporary discussions on diet and wellness.

    This book is about real magick, effecting real change, in a real world. There are some books on magick that teach it purely as spiritual advancement. There are others that teach it as a form of psychological self-help that effects only inner change. While magick can and should be both of these, it is something more. The Sorcerer's Secrets is about success in practical magick; it is a book that aims at change in both the outer and inner worlds.Beyond a mere spell book or training course, The Sorcerer's Secrets is a field manual on successful sorcery written by a professional sorcerer. The first part of the book lays out the qualities, concepts, and exercises necessary to attempt practical magick. The second part presents clear strategies for tackling almost any type of issue with sorcery.In this book you will learn how to: Attack problems from multiple angles, not just by casting a spell.Blend mundane and magickal action to ensure success.Figure out whether what you are doing is working.Fix it if it isn't.Go beyond readings, into magickal intelligence-gathering.Influence the minds of other people.Work most effectively on behalf of others.The Sorcerer's Secrets will help rescue the art of Magick from those who have ignored, downplayed, or just outright denied the existence of practical sorcery in favor of arcane titles, intangible results, and fantasy attainments.

    In Old World Witchcraft, noted author Raven Grimassi covers totally new territory--in his work and in the world of popular witchcraft books published in the last few decades.This book is actually about “an enchanted worldview,” one that has not necessarily been inherited from the beliefs and practices of any particular region and one which is available to us today.The “Old World” in the title is actually about a magical view of the Plant Kingdom and the spirits attached to it. While Grimassi’s previous books discuss the cultural expressions and commonality of witchcraft beliefs and practices in general, this book penetrates much deeper.Old World Witchdraft reveals rarely discussed topics such as the concept of Shadow as the organic memory of the earth. Readers will learn rooted techniques that possess power because these ways have always been connected to it. They will learn methods of interfacing with the ancestral current and with the organic memory of the earth. Through these they can connect with the timeless arts and learn methods of empowerment directly from the ancient source.Totally new information about familiar tools is presented. For example, the mortar and pestle is a tool for spell casting, a device that creates interfacing with plant spirits and with shadow, and a focal point for veneration of the Plant Kingdom. Grimassi also presents the art of using plant ashes for magical sigil work.This book is for people who have had their fill of books that say the same things over and over, who want to take the next step, and who are eager for the more rooted ways that have remained largely hidden.

    Explores the roots of witchcraft while providing an integrated magical system to serve the modern witchRaven Grimassi is among the pioneering authors of the modern witchcraft renaissance. In What We Knew in the Night, he presents a cohesive and complete system of witchcraft based on traditional sources. The author’s premise is that, beginning in the 1980s, with the rise of modern metaphysical publishing, authors began presenting very personal witchcraft practices. In the process, traditional and formerly well-established practices fell into obscurity, which potentially lead to confusion.What We Knew in the Night uncovers and clarifies those buried gems for a new generation, assembling and integrating key components of witchcraft, past and present. Grimassi lays out key mystical and practical foundations of witchcraft and restores their important role.Sharing lessons and advice from his own almost 50 years of personal study and practice, Grimassi explores what he describes as the “heart of the old rites.” He also offers practical instructions and a clear 5-step process of empowerment—one chapter for each step —for anyone who wants to walk the path of witchcraft: Virtue of the MoonThe WaftingThe Witch’s BladeThe Clay PentacleThe Witch’s RingHaving accomplished these steps, the reader will possess the “quintessence of witchery” and be firmly grounded in the arcane art of witchcraft.
