Summary

Mysticism & Magick of Aleister Crowley is a fascinating anthology that delves deep into the mutable world of occult practices as pioneered by Aleister Crowley, with contributions from fellow mystic Mary d'Este Sturges. This collection offers an intricate tapestry of themes including spirituality, ceremonial magic, and esoteric philosophy, woven through the diverse literary styles of essays, poetry, and mystical writings. It stands as a crucial testament to the innovative and often controversial approaches to mystical exploration at the turn of the 20th century. The authors, Crowley and Sturges, are figures entrenched in occult history, shaping the evolution of Western esotericism. Crowley, known for his influence on modern occultism, combined his vast knowledge with experiential practice, providing a unique voice that challenges conventional norms. Sturges, a close associate and collaborator, adds a complementary perspective, enriching the anthology with depth and nuance. Collectively, their contributions illuminate the vibrant spectrum of spiritual and magical themes, reflecting key movements in mysticism and esotericism that resonate with cultural shifts of their time. Readers embarking on this anthology will find a journey through vividly imagined and intellectually stimulating terrains. With its amalgamation of unique voices and perspectives, this collection not only serves as an educational tool for students of the occult but also as a timeless conversation between some of the most intriguing thoughts in mystical literature. It is an indispensable read for anyone eager to explore the enigmatic realm of mysticism and magic, offering profound insights into the spiritual quests and esoteric practices that transcend conventional boundaries.

    “I have counted the days until you would return to my waiting arms, my insistent kisses.  
    But now I know you never will...” 
    On a rainy hike by Loch Lomond, Eve Waldman stumbles upon a perfectly preserved journal in a hidden cave. The time-worn lettering details the illicit affair of two Jewish lovers that sent a shiver of shame through a Scottish family — and echoes down the bloodlines.  
    Born of Highland aristocracy, Mac Monteith prefers to spend his days behind the bar of the family pub, rather than live the life his parents desired for him. Then Eve walks through the door, stirring more than Mac’s long-dormant heart. 
    When Eve traces the cave documents to the Monteith line, scandals and secrets spill out from all sides. Eve remains committed to the truth, but when being truthful means hurting the man she loves, she is forced to make a bigger choice: righting the wrongs of the past, or building the future she’s yearned for. 
    A contemporary romance with hints of magical realism, Cave of Secrets is about family heritage, intergenerational trauma, and finding the courage to be honest with ourselves — and those who love us. 
    “A masterful blend of suspense, romance, and self-discovery, CAVE OF SECRETS is the tale of an intrepid young archivist’s pursuit of history, unveiling a secret love affair and a powerful family’s hidden Jewish roots. Gorgeous prose will bring you to the edge of your seat...” 
    Lisa Williamson Rosenberg, author of Embers on the Wind 
    "Cave of Secrets is an engaging, thought-provoking read, illustrating the power of courage to unveil past secrets, make tough choices and live an authentic life against all odds." Annie Cathryn, author of The Friendship Breakup

    God's people are meant to be a blessing to others. Yet in the Scriptures, throughout history, and in our own times we too often see the people of God causing harm to people on the margins. Rather than caring for the widowed and the orphaned or loving the sojourner, too often we see abuse of power that breaks spirits and inflicts lasting harm. 
     
     
     
    For anyone who has felt left out or pushed out of the church, Othered is your invitation to find spiritual rest and belonging in a God who loves, restores, and blesses the outcast and the marginalized. Jenai Auman draws on her experience growing up as a biracial kid in the American South as well as working within toxic ministry environments to reveal a hopeful, trauma-informed way forward. This book illuminates how hurt and betrayal in the church are longstanding problems that God neither sanctions nor tolerates. It offers holistic responses to the grief, anger, and trauma that come with being ostracized or oppressed by the church. And it shows how God provides shelter and provision in the midst of the wilderness. 
     
     
     
    Because God sees, hears, and loves you—even if the church has failed you.

    When we are alone, isolated, afraid, and grieving the loss of a loved one, Jesus tells us plainly, “Behold, I am with you always!” It is His presence and constant companionship that brings us comfort, consolation, and hope through all the seasons of our lives. 
    I Am with You Always invites the ordinary Catholic to once again “behold Jesus.” In doing so, we will realize with joy and gratitude the wonderful connection between the ordinary teachings and practices of our Catholic faith and the strength we derive from them to weather the storms of life. 
    The authors gently invite their readers to respond to Christ’s perennial call to “come and see” and to verify for yourself that:God truly is Love and His mercy endures forever;Christ draws near in order to remain with us;we truly encounter Christ in the sacraments and in the liturgy;we live, even now, in the communion of His saints;Our Lady of Compassion constantly intercedes for us; andGod hears our prayers and responds to our heartache and pain. 
    This book was written as an act of friendship, as one heart speaking to another about the reality of God’s love for us. It is an act of companionship, a drawing near to a beloved friend in their time of need. It is a gift that reminds a broken heart that there is always hope in Jesus Christ. For He alone is the victory over death that we seek for ourselves and for our loved ones.
