The Dark Archetype

This book deals with those things that many of us do not have to face on a regular basis, including issues such as death, anger, pain, fear, illness-and yes, even sex. It explores these concerns by focusing on the magick and mystery of goddesses such as Kali, Hekate, Sekhmet, and Lilith; and gods such as Set, Loki, Dionysos, and Shiva-deities who have not been given their just due because of their less than desirable sides. The authors guide you through the world of darkness, unleashing the history and myth associated with each archetype. Also, they share field-tested rituals and spellwork that allow you to further work with the shadow side and understand the benefit of the energies you find there. It is important to acknowledge what happens in the darkness and the power it unleashes for what it is-a reaffirmation of life and, yes, the light.

This anthology brings together essays, rituals, and unique artwork dedicated to the Queen of the Night and the Dark Goddess of the Qliphoth. Denied and rejected, worshipped and venerated, Lilith has been a part of the Western culture for ages. Viewed both as a beautiful seductress and a ruthless demon, she is the Serpent in the Garden of Eden, the first woman, and the primary initiatrix into the mysteries of the dark side of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. Her rites are the works of love and pain, sex and transgression, transcendence and immanence, for she exists at the roots of all desire of all humans past, present, and future. This archetype has never been fully grasped in its profundity and is constantly unfolding, challenging us to recognize our fears and passions and to transform them into tools of power. In this book you will find personal accounts of practitioners who ventured into the sacred and unholy garden of the Dark Queen of Sitra Ahra and returned transformed and empowered by her gnosis. Spells and invocations, dream magic and guided meditations, visions and stories of intimate encounters with Lilith - all this is contained in this unique anthology, written from the perspective of the Left Hand Path and the Draconian Tradition. Compiled and edited by Asenath Mason, the book contains articles and contributions from Ahohlan Castart�, Alisa Jones, Bill Duvendack, Edgar Kerval, Kai'Nathera, Katie Anderson, Leonard Dewar, Lucien von Wolfe, Mike King, Martha Gray, Nemo.V, and Selene-Lilith.

“A twisty, thought-provoking futuristic tale that unnerves and enthralls.” –Family Circle In a future where women are a rare commodity, Emma fights for freedom but is held captive by the love of two men—one her husband, the other her worst enemy. If only she could remember which is which . . . In the stunning first volume of a two-book series that will appeal to readers of William Gibson and Philip K. Dick, Emma wakes with her memory wiped clean. Her husband, Declan—a powerful and seductive man—narrates the story of her past, but Emma’s dreams contradict him. They show her war, a camp where girls are trained to be wives, and love for another man. Something inside warns her not to speak of these things, but the line between her dreams and reality is about to shatter forever.
