The Quareia Apprentice Study Guide

The Quareia Apprentice Study Guide provides answers to basic questions, details the structure and approach of the course, examines some of the common training issues, and explains the core concepts presented in the course.

MYSTAGOGUS TRADUZIDO PARA O PORTUGUES

para o Portugues por J D Oliveira

O baralho de 78 cartas é projetado e pintado magicamente para atuar como um guia, conselheiro e fonte de divinação para alguém que está trilhando um caminho mágico sozinho. Não é baseado em nenhum sistema de tarô, mas é uma ferramenta mágica de contato única, padronizada e pintada pela magista adepta e professora Josephine McCarthy. Também é projetado magicamente de forma que, se você não tiver acesso ao baralho, poderá trabalhar com o livro e com um conjunto de cartas em branco com os nomes das imagens escritas nas cartas.

O Baralho Mystagogus foi projetado em torno de um padrão mágico de evolução e incorporou nele os estágios de desenvolvimento inerentes a qualquer caminho mágico que busca maior união com o self mais profundo e com os mundos interiores ocultos que fluem através e ao redor do mundo físico.
 
Mystagogus oferece uma voz clara e concisa de divinação sem qualquer glamour obscuro desnecessário ou fantasioso - é uma voz coerente de poder que vai direto ao cerne da divinação e não faz rodeios. Ele é dividido em camadas para que vozes mundanas e mágicas possam fluir através dele - às vezes precisamos falar com um contato interior profundo e, às vezes, precisamos encontrar nosso gato desaparecido. Mystagogus foi projetado com ambas situações em mente, pois todas fazem parte da trama do destino.

O livro do baralho também está repleto de referências, citações e informações altamente relevantes de várias religiões, filosofia e ciência como uma forma de ampliar a compreensão da mente mágica, ao mesmo tempo em que ocasionalmente dá ao leitor uma espiada na dinâmica antiga e clássica da magia de maneiras discretas e sutis.

JM’s Tarot Companion - This informal companion is a quick reference collection that contains some of the mundane layouts that Josephine McCarthy uses in her books. These layouts plus many more appear in the book Tarot Skills for the 21st Century by Josephine McCarthy. They are useful for ordinary, everyday life events and for exploring further meaning of situations that appear in general readings. They can also be useful for magical students who wish to look at various situations relevant to their magical work or training.

1- Exploring Magical History: Pre History

This essay looks at the early dawn of magical behaviour as a response to environmental change, and focuses in on the shift from anthropomorphic worship to solar ritual behaviour. For Quareia students, it is a good example of how to delve into the history of magic by looking at non magical subjects such as archaeology, climatology, and anthropology.

2- Exploring Magical History: Egypt I

This essay looks at Pre Dynastic and Early Dynastic concepts, ideas and time lines. It helps to give an overview of political timelines and magical religious basic concepts which can form a foundation of understanding for more detailed study and research.

3- Exploring Magical History: Egypt II

The third essay in the series ‘Exploring Magical History’ looks at Pre Dynastic and Old Kingdom Egypt, with a particular focus on ritual boats, power sceptres and the Apis Bull. The essay traces the probable source of the modern concept of the magical wand.

4- Exploring Magical History: The Directions in Magic

 In modern western magic and also in some religious patterns, the directions are the thresholds and boundaries that define and focus the power. In this essay, I look at certain people/s and points in magical history to look at how different people in time approached the directions, directional concepts and how those uses affect our magic to this day.

The vision link takes you to the visionary archive of work I did many years ago. The visions on this page are visions of service to the land and your ancestors, and visions of service to various presentations of the Divine within everything, including yourself. This page will be periodically updated.

The Magical Stories link takes you to the archive of my magical stories. The stories on this page centre around specific magical dynamics that can be worked with in vision and ritual, while also helping the reader to gain understanding of the context and human element of such dynamics.

Sometimes the deeper aspects of magic can be difficult to present or explain, but approaching them through stories helps people to understand how these deep powers work through our lives, and exist all around us.

This page will be periodically updated.

The Articles link takes you to the archive of articles I have written over the years. The subject matter covers a variety of aspects of magic, from things to think about as a beginner, to learning how to operate better with everything around you. This page will be periodically added to.

How to read classical texts

A short introduction in how to approach reading classical texts when you are not used to them - By Anne H.

Book X The Republic by Plato

Book ten of Plato’s Republic contains the famous vision of Er the Armenian, a cornerstone vision in magical history that is studied in the course work.

Porphyry - Life of Plotinus

Porphyry was a student and secretary of Plotinus, and his brief biography of his teacher gives us anecdotal insights into the mystical side of Plotinus. It outlines Plotinus’ search for a teacher in Alexandria, and his search for his personal daemon (spirit) in the temple of Isis.

Plotinus - The Fourth Ennead

Although all of the work of Plotinus is important, the Third and Fourth Ennead is of direct importance to magical students. His work in not an easy read for many – it is dense, thoughtful and poses many questions. We can see the logic and understanding of both Plato and Plotinus in these works, as they grapple with the mysteries of the universe, the essence of humanity and the nature of the gods.

Plato - Timaeus

One of the most famous dialogues of Plato (428-348BC) is Timaeus. In it he speculates on the nature of the physical world and humans. It is littered with interesting ideas and magically relevant tidbits.

Apuleius - The Golden Ass Bk XI

The Golden Ass, also known as the Metamorphoses of Apuleius, is the only ancient Roman novel in Latin to survive in its entirety. Apuleius (124-170AD) was an initiate in several mystery cults, and while the whole novel is relevant to magicians, the last chapter in particular, Bk XI, is of particular importance to students of the magical mysteries.

Plutarch - Isis and Osiris

Plutarch (46-119 AD) explores the nature of the cosmos through the story of Isis and Osiris, one of the deeper Dynastic Egyptian mysteries.

Virgil - Aeneid Bk VI

The Aeneid is an epic poem by Virgil (70-19BC) that tells the mythic story of Aeneas the Trojan and his journey to Italy to become the ancestor of Rome. It is a Roman national epic that creates a powerful mythos about the ancestral roots of Rome.

Bk 6 is the story of Aeneas’ descent into the Underworld, a tale that was later used during the Enlightenment period to create ritualised drama for initiation.

Hesiod - Theogony

Theogony is a poem by Hesiod (approx 750BC) written in Ancient Greek (epic dialect) that explores the genealogy and origins of the Gods.
