9781594772351;

Gareth Knight taps into two thousand years of teachings in the Western esoteric tradition in this exploration of the sacred healing force of the Divine Feminine.  Magic and the Power is a comprehensive exploration of Goddess-centered magic and spiritual practice.  Knight provides guided meditations, practical workings, and methods for awakening the Goddess consciousness within Earth and in yourself.  You can discover how the sacred circle's principles offer a framework for living in greater harmony and balance.

Knight demonstrates the presence of the Goddess throughout Western esoteric traditions--from Greek myths and the Mysteries of Isis to the emergence of the cult of the Blessed Virgin and seventeenth-century Rosicrucian spiritual alchemy.  He shows here how the Goddess--the elemental consciousness of Earth--has revealed herself in different times and places.

Honoring her many guises, Knight explores the powers of the Goddess as maiden, mother, initiator, protector, sorceress, and faery queen.  He provides guided meditations on each of these qualities that lead the practitioner into direct contact with the potent healing energy of the Divine Feminine.  Knight also offers rituals, exercises, and other practical tools for integrating the Western magical tradition with worship of the Goddess.  He shows how we, and our planet, have suffered due to the repression of the feminine principle how we must recognize the power of the Goddess within to reconstitute and guide our existence, improve our health, and that heal the environment.
