Dark Tales

Do you know what darkness is? Not evil, darkness. Do you know the darkness of another? Often times people get the two confused, and clarity only comes through experiencing it, which produces memories and often times scars on the psyche. Darkness can be beautiful and illuminating, though, as it can produce wisdom of the deepest level and most profound variety. Judith Page and Paul F Newman have collected twenty-seven tales of darkness from various published books of theirs in this anthology, Dark Mystery Tales, revealing the beauty that can be found in the absence of light. Ranging in settings from ancient Egypt to tales of the Knights Templars and beyond, they deliver scintillating stories of otherwise hidden mysteries and lessons, all told through a macabre, beautiful lens. This is more than just a storybook, as many occluded mysteries are drug to the surface through striking imagery, illuminating the path of the reader, no matter their background. It is a profound enough of a volume though, to include a warning. Reading these stories, especially quickly and consecutively, may expand your personal and spiritual paradigms to include lessons and precepts that may have otherwise not been encountered in day-to-day life. The trade-off is that you accelerate your ascension to new levels that may not have been reached otherwise. Join them as they take you into realms not commonly glimpsed by casual passers-by, and pick the dark fruits of wisdom that await you from this tree of the night. ~Bill Duvendack, astrologer, occultist, and author of such works as Spirit Relations, Psychic Protection, and The Metaphysics of Magick, to name but a few. Simply marvelous. It has been decades since written words have evoked such vivid visualizations and possibilities within my thoughts. There have been a number of philosophical and practical systems of working that have evolved from mystery, myth and fiction, but in all my years I have never seen the opposite until now. But there is more to this. Every chapter within this compendium holds a marvelous stimulant of both mind and spirit. One does not have to know the background of each to utilize the spark of magic that the authors have imbued within each sentence. You will find yourself taking mental notes to recollect for time to come. It is both a pleasurable writing to enjoy and a potentially provocative tool that will be a pause for a greater cause. Creative visualization is one of my most powerful shamanic tools; each of the chapters managed to take me to a new level and direction.In the end (if there is one) there is a powerful unseen circle that one will encounter. This circle does not constrain you it will free you. Free your mind to wander among the depths of magical possibilities. It is of no matter if you are a casual reader of mysteries or a serious practicing occultist, this trove of written treasure will enrich even the most discerning of readers. This book will bring you that sacred circle, you have but to step through. James Hunter-Ralston. Setian Sorcerer, creator of custom talismans and amulets
