Patriotic Pippins On Royal Wedding Day, Britain And America United - No Longer The Boston Tea Party



The Pippins were being very patriotic last Saturday in celebration of the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan, joining Great Britain and the United States Of America  together well and truly. This surely has to be a good sign and a turning away from the Boston Tea Party, whilst instead focusing on British Prince Harry marrying American Ms Markle at the biggest party of the day - the Royal Wedding. Landmark stuff, according to the Pippins.

Heavier Occult Essential Books



The Golden Dawn by Israel Regardie is the complete workings of the 'Golden Dawn' school of magic. It mixes ancient Egyptian ritual and the Kabbalistic Tree Of Life type workings. a lot of people use at least an one or two rituals form this system and it has got out in to the world and been blended in many cases with other magical systems, except by the purists.

The Shem Grimoire by Nick Farrell covers the workings of the Shemhamphorash Angels, the 72 Angels Of God. The book clearly sets out the detailing for each angel and their abilities.

Essential Books For The Occult Student



The company that produces 'Forgotten Books' is well worth checking out as there are some real old and ancient gems, faithfully reproduced, such as the one in the top picture entitled 'The Great Book of Magical Art, Hindu Magic And East Indian Occultism'. this was first produced in 1897. The Orion Plain And Simple 'Fairies' book gives a topical insight in to this fascinating subject too.

Some Very Interesting Magickal Books





My daughter kindly modelled the books for me as for once it was nice and warm outside. These are just a tiny little portion of the many books I have in my possession. books are useful because it is possible to just 'dip in' and find a nugget of very important information.

We have a book on fortune telling, by the very well known and respected Sasha Fenton. We then have a book on spirit keeping by Ash and Magnolia West. Then we have a book on the well known 20th Century occultist Dion Fortune by a great fan of hers, Alan Richardson. Finally we have book on European Gods and Goddesses by the well known Janet and Stuart Farrar and also Gavin Bone.

Some really good spiritual books came out of the 90's, which have never really been beaten since. However my book reader contains so many spell ebooks it could probably walk off on its own! I still prefer physical books though because I like to dive in and browse, rather than read from front to back.I don't read all through the books, just syphon off the bits of stuff that interests me, a bit like a vacuum cleaner!

Lord Hanuman, Herb Basil And Offerings


The statue is of the Hindu God Lord Hanuman. Lord Hanuman likes the herb basil and he is a protector amongst other things.We have a number of statues of Hindu Gods and often listen to the Hari Krishna chant.

Athame Pendant And Blue Hearts


I have had this unusual pendant for around five years and I once noticed that the senior druid at a Stonehenge celebration was wearing the exact same pendant at a summer solstice celebration which was briefly shown on TV. I already had mine by then and it was strange to notice this white robed man was wearing a replica. Holding it seems to bring about a feeling of power, strength and stability, but I have never worn it as it looks more like a ritual object than a necklace, so that is what I use it for.

Beltane Pippin And the Hobby 'Oss




Both original Pippin and the Pippin Doppelgänger really enjoyed the Beltane celebrations. We had herbs, offerings of all kinds and a really beautiful May Day Hobby Horse (Hobby 'Oss) to keep in with the true spirit and tradition of the grand occasion.
