The Horned Altar

Rediscover a magic that is raw and real, but nearly forgotten—the magic and mysticism of Canaan. Anyone with a connection to Christianity or Judaism can claim some measure of spiritual inheritance from Canaan, a culture miscast as the villains of the Bible. This engaging guide, written by an authority on Canaanite mysticism, will help practitioners of any spiritual path develop a powerful magical practice based on these nearly lost theories and techniques. Using primary sources and translations originally written by the Canaanites themselves, Dawson first explores the specific forces, themes, and symbolism involved in Canaanite magic. In the second part of the book, she tells us how we can bring these ancient practices into the 21st century for personal use. Among the topics covered: Deities of Canaan and how to honour them; the alphabets of Canaan and Phoenicia; how to make a Babylonian demon protection bowl; and spells and prayers for healing, love, and protection.
