Ancient Egyptian Holidays by Mab Borden really explained and simplified the Egyptian Holiday year and calendar for me. Great style and a mix of what they did, what it meant, where and when it happened. Modern Witches could draw from it, but it wasn't a how to book, which i liked

Though from a Christian perspective, The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life by Thomas Moore was a really lovely meditative, philosophical look at life, nature, people and our own consciousness. Deep, thoughtful, and reflective.
Starting from the premise that we can no longer afford to live in a disenchanted world, Thomas Moore, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling classic Care of the Soul, shows us that a profound, enchanted engagement with life is not a childish thing to be put away with adulthood, but a necessity for one's personal and collective survival.
With his lens focused on specific aspects of daily life such as clothing, food, furniture, architecture, ecology, language, and politics, Moore describes the renaissance these can undergo when there is a genuine engagement with beauty, craft, nature, and art in…
The Dawning Moon of the Mind: Unlocking the Pyramid Texts by Susan Brind Morrow is a deep thoughtful translation of the Pyramid Texts of Unas. The Author both translates, and gives insight into her translation process and the text itself, arguing that its akin to a Vedic Tantra in the beauty of its imagery, which is often lost in more clumsy translations. I particularly like the explanations of Egyptian humor and world play in the language and sounds of the heiroglyphs as well as their symbolic imager.
Buried in the Egyptian desert some four thousand years ago, the Pyramid Texts are among the world's oldest poetry. Yet ever since the discovery of these hieroglyphs in 1881, they have been misconstrued by Western Egyptologists as a garbled collection of primitive myths and incantations, relegating to obscurity their radiant fusion of philosophy, scientific inquiry, and religion.

The Mighty Dead, the Hidden Company, the Secret Chiefs, the Withdrawn Order, the Inner Plane Adepts, the Masters, the Bodhisattva, and the Saints – all names for the enlightened dead who guide the spiritual traditions and evolution of humanity through the mysteries. They are found in traditions across the world, east and west, old and new. They were the guiding force of the occult revival at the turn of the 20th century, and continue to aid us today.
By forging connections with them, collectively or individually, we can learn how to evolve and pass through the cycles of reincarnation to become one with these sanctified masters. Hand in hand we shall ecstatically dance together at the eternal Sabbat of the Witch.
