ABC of Sacred Invocations offers a journey through religious history based on simple and universal forms such as the word, the syllable, the chant, or the prayer. The author follows the thread of sacred invocations to show the close link between these forms of expression and the inner attitudes they evoke. This reading provides clear landmarks to understand the religious thought that unfolds within and the cultural frameworks that have shaped it over time.
A cross-sectional reading of religious traditions
The book traces a true odyssey of religions, from their origins to the dominant systems of certainties. Each invocation is set in a specific context and reflects a way of relating to the sacred. This comparative approach helps to better situate the invoked practices and understand their role in the construction of religious and spiritual traditions, without confinement to a single vision.
Reflecting on spiritual and cultural identity
A specialist in comparative religions, esoteric schools, and initiatory orders, the author invites readers to move beyond closed reflexes to engage in a broader reflection on spiritual and religious identity. The book opens an accessible space for questioning, whether it is a personal journey or a transmitted cultural heritage. This exploration allows sacred invocations to be approached as keys to understanding human history and its inner quests.
Franck-William Schaffner, born in May 1952, is a French theologian, speaker, and exorcist, known as the Archbishop-Primate of the Gallican Catholic Church of France. A specialist in comparative religions, esoteric schools, and initiatory orders, he has devoted much of his work to the study of religious traditions and metaphysical sciences.
Ordained a priest in 1975 and then consecrated bishop in 1977 within a jurisdiction stemming from the Patriarchate of Antioch, he founded in 1979 an ecumenical community that later became the Religious Order of Saint Andrew, which he leads as archbishop.
Here, we don’t judge.
No matter where you come from, what you believe in, or what you’re looking for: you belong here. You can be a beginner, curious, a casual practitioner, or a daily witch. What matters is sincere intention.
We believe in all forms of magic.
High magic and its rigorous rituals deserve as much respect as spells passed down in the countryside. We read grimoires, respect rites, listen to old stories. Everything practiced with faith deserves serious and curious attention.
We welcome all traditions.
We don’t put one path above another. We talk hoodoo, kabbalah, Christian prayers, elemental magic, folk rituals, Celtic symbols. What matters is respect. Not the label.
We work cleanly.
Each package is carefully prepared by us, here in France. Before shipping, it is purified so it arrives at your home cleansed and positively charged. We strive to use recyclable packaging and reduce our impact as much as possible.
We stay available.
Customer service is us. Not an AI, not a robot, not a call center. If you have a question, a doubt, a problem, you reach us—the same people who select the products, write the descriptions, and prepare the packages.
We stay human-sized.
We are a small passionate team with big ambitions, hands in the herbs, books, and boxes. And we want to keep it that way.
