Follow in the footsteps of a coven of witches in the 1940s as they dive deep into magical practice. Using the same storybook-style of teaching magic that Chris Allaun introduced in his previous book, The Black Book of Johnathan Knotbristle, the reader will find an incredibly hands-on system of witchery designed to heighten their magical prowess and refine their skills in the Art. Each chapter is set up as a journal entry from a different member of the coven, and through each entry the reader is shown how to weave spells to bring protection, reveal the truth, or even reenter a dream. They'll also be shown how to conjure spirits, influence another's thoughts, and to capture the heart of one they love. It would be all too easy to see a coven such as this operating in the 1940s--meeting under the cloak of night, conversing with the spirit world, and conjuring a breadth of magic that could withstand the test of time. While the coven itself may dwell mostly in the mind and heart of the witch, Chris Allaun has creatively incorporated actual folklore from Chicago, his now hometown, which will go on to inspire all readers to build their own magical practice off their own living, breathing landscape, wherever that may be.

Invisible Fire is a work that presents the traditional themes in Western Mysticism as it pertains to the perennial school of theology, mysticism, and metaphysics. Invisible Fire strives toward presenting metaphysical exploration in an engaging and all-embracing way. Hence, it fills a vacuum in the mystical and philosophical literature that tends to be too dry and academic for many readers. Still, solidly anchored in history, philosophy, and metaphysics, it is a book that strives to engage the reader with its Gnostic vision to rediscover one's own center, if not the cosmic center and the divinity of the anima mundi and the world at large in all its cosmic splendor. As such, Invisible Fire is a book that unifies and inspires, a book that brings a vision of world, tradition, and spirituality into a unified and integrated whole that will expand the horizon of the reader and make their perspective on faith and mystery richer. When we speak of Western Mysticism, it is vital to understand that this refers to a cultural conglomerate of shared cosmologies and epistemologies. This means that Sufi schools, schools of Kabbalah, Christian Mystics, Gnostics, and even Eastern traditions are bound by similar cosmologies through shared ideas and a common focus on divine revelation. This commonality is known as "The Timeless Tradition" and the Way of Seth, and Invisible Fire discusses these themes in great length, both in theory and practice.

This book explores the currents of thought that ran counter to the main thrust of the revival of witchcraft in the 1960s, counter-currents that are growing in importance and influence some sixty years later. During the chaotic but colorful 1960s, witchcraft was reborn as a modern mystical practice. Many are familiar with Wicca, founded by Gerald Gardner, but there was a counter-current, now known as Traditional Witchcraft, which saw the art from a very different angle. Its chief thinker was Robert Cochrane, who envisioned witchcraft as a gnostic quest for ultimate knowledge and union with the divine. This volume explores his most important ideas, especially the way in which he re-envisioned ancient mythology, putting a new spin on old deities as well as on folkloric figures like Robin Hood and King Arthur and naming Tubal Cain, whom the Bible calls the first blacksmith, as his avatar of knowledge both sacred and profane. Though he wrote very little and died young, Cochrane left enough material behind for us to reconstruct the steps by which he urged each aspiring witch to take a crooked path to complete gnosis.
