Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki Libri

The Sacred Cord or rosary has been used in almost every spiritual tradition as a basis for prayer or contemplation. In this book Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki tells how she first came to hear of the ancient Atlantean Sacred Cord and gives full instructions on how to make one, explaining the magical significance of each bead. She goes on to outline a meditational journey using the Cord, guiding the reader through the course of a year from the first bead, the birth of the untutored Primal Spark, to the last bead, the realisation of divinity. Each set of beads brings greater insights into the self and awareness of the interrelationship between all living things on the Earth. An important learning device for esoteric work and self-transformation, the Sacred Cord is a valuable aid to self-development, while the Sacred Cord meditation cycle presents a spiritual journey which is both uplifting and rewarding.

A unique collection of magical pathworkings based on the thirty-two paths of the Qabalistic Tree of Life. Pathworking is the occult term for a specific kind of visualization exercise in which the mind-self is projected into a series of situations and landscapes that can be viewed on a mental screen, or, once the mind has been trained, experienced as a participant with full sensory perception. Each working is preceded by a discussion of the individual path and of the experiences, correspondences and symbolism associated with it.

It offers updated insights and techniques, making it accessible for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners. The text explores various magical traditions, emphasizing the importance of intention and preparation in rituals.

Pathworking is a term given to a specific kind of guided visualization exercise in which the mind is projected into a series of situations and landscapes that can be viewed on a mental screen. Tracing them from the earliest cave paintings, through the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Bardic tradition and the story-tellers of Ireland, Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki shows pathworkings to be a part of a much greater structure in the make-up of man, pertaining to his hopes and dreams and his ability to make those dreams come true. Used with purpose and by trained minds, the pathworking becomes a series of controlled thought patterns - and thought is the basis of creation.

Stories hold answers and teachings, be it a parable or a fairy story, and The Prodigal Son is just one of many. What does it teach? The story of humanity and its climb from savagery to the stars is a map that shows a way back once we have learned the lesson. The prodigal had to leave in order to find the way back. It’s uncomfortable, humiliating, and full of self-doubt but it’s there.Evolution is a school of hard knocks and every life form goes through it. Every living creature existing in this time, this NOW, has got to this point by evolving. By growing in wisdom, adapting to different climates, ways of living, and coping with crises of every kind. Life itself is a prodigal… learning what forms, foods, habitats, and climates can be used, developed, grown and shared. Compare how early humanity emerging from the disappearing Ice Age, with an ordinary everyday human being in the twenty first century. YET! We are still, in one sense of the word… on the way HOME. We have a long way to go yet, before we reach the peak of what we CAN achieve. But at least the story of the Prodigal offers hope, an incentive to keep trying, keep learning, keep going forward and upward.
