Occult Resources...
This site is dedicated to serving as a general resource for students and practitioners of the Western Hermetic Tradition, and as a specific resource for the Alexandrine Temple of the Hermetic Fellowship, located in Portland, Oregon, USA.
This list is provided as an informational resource. Though some truly fine organizations and resources are listed here, not all that are listed are well known to the Hermetic Fellowship. Therefore, the appearance of a group or other resource in this listing does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement by the Hermetic Fellowship. In becoming involved with any group or teacher, the seeker should always exercise his or her reason and intuition. Caveat Quæstor.

ARCANA
“A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again.” —Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism (1711) Unfortunately, but naturally, ARCANA, the grand old list of occult discussion on the Internet, has passed away. It was, at one time, an exceptional place for intelligent, informed, scholarly discussion of the Occult. This little website is in some ways its grave stele, the inscription chosen by the listowners. I wish there were some way to leave flowers... |

The Sworn Book of Honorius “Liber Juratus is one of the oldest and most influential texts of Medieval magic.” |
(Twilit Grotto) |  |

Cornelius Agrippa, De Occulta Magica Libri Tres “Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (1486-1535) is the most influential writer of Renaissance esoterica, and indeed all of Western occultism. His de occulta philosophia appeared in three books. Written from 1509 to 1510 (he would have been 23 at the time), it circulated widely in manuscript form, and was eventually printed in 1533. It is a "systematic exposition of ... Ficinian spiritual magic and Trithemian demonic magic (and) ... treatised in practical magic" (I. P. Couliano in Hidden Truths 1987, p. 114). Without doubt, this book should be at the top of any required reading list for those interested in Western magic and esoteric traditions.” |

Pietro d’Abano, Heptameron, or Magical Elements “This concise handbook of ritual magic was translated by Robert Turner in 1655, and appeared in his collection of esoteric texts with Agrippa's Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy. Its attribution to the famous physician Peter de Abano (1250-1316) is probably spurious, as his accepted works 'betray no aquaintance with the occult sciences.' It is heavily based on texts of the Solomon cycle, and in fact appears in the Hebrew Key of Solomon (Mafteah Shelomoh) fol 35a ff under the title the Book of Light.” |

Pseudomarchia Dæmonum “It has long been recognized that the first book of the Lemegeton, Goetia, corresponds closely with Weyer's catalog of demons, though in Weyer’s text there are no demonic seals, and the demons are invoked by a simple conjuration, not the elaborate ritual found in the Lemegeton.” |

Magic in Theory & Practice : mp3 Station “A station at mp3.com that will feature a music for relaxation and ritual. The show is called "Magick in Theory and Practice." It is my hope that this will serve to further build a sense of community among those that are interested in Magick. The focus is more Hermetic/Rosaic/Thelemic as opposed to the general and generic, magic mushroom, New Age. If you know of an artist at mp3.com that would belong on this station please let me know. If you hear something on the station that you don't like, let me know this as well. I have a message board for the station.” |
