QUAREIA

Quareia is a new school of magic for the 21st century. It is open to anyone, everywhere. Its content is entirely free of cost - there is no sign up process, or registration, and no fees to pay at all. The Latin term quareia refers to the place where stones are squared. That is what this course aims for: to equip you with the magical tools to work on the rough stone that you are. Quareia was founded by Josephine McCarthy and Frater Acher. Josephine McCarthy is the director and author of all Quareia material; Frater Acher is Quareia’s patron and also our web designer.

LXXXI - THE QUAREIA MAGICIAN'S DECK

LXXXI - The Quareia Magician's Deck is a unique magical tool for 21st century magicians. LXXXI is a collaboration between magical artists Stuart Littlejohn and Cassandra Beanland, and magical adept Josephine McCarthy. All of the paintings are original works of art in oil, acrylic, or water colour, and are the result of three years painting and collaboration.

The deck has 81 cards, a mystical number that relates to completion, and it is divided in to four realms: the Divine Realm (red borders), the Inner realm (blue borders), the physical world (green borders) and the realm of death and the underworld (black borders). The further away from humanity a being or place is, the less human it becomes. This is reflected in the deck, and can teach a magician a great deal about how beings function and why.

LXXXI - The Quareia Magician's Deck is not based upon any tarot system, but rather it draws upon the mythic, mystical and magical powers that underpin the magical systems that tarot eventually developed out of. It is based upon real inner realms, real inner contacts, beings and forces that the practitioner of magic is very likely to involve themselves with.

PARALIBRUM

Paralibrum is an independent home of high quality book and art reviews for the bibliophile occultist. The platform is entirely free of commercial interest. Paralibrum was launched during the Summer Solstice 2020 by Frater Acher in collaboration with Frater U∴D∴ to create something they both were missing: a space filled with bright, critical minds, who are experts in their craft and tell us about their experience with the books and art they love.
