  • Cry Havoc introduced Beverley Nichols as an advocate of peace. The Fool Hath Said - as well as being his personal spiritual journey - gives his advocacy of Christianity in a modern world.He presents his belief convincingly, taking the hurdles one at a time to end with a newly defined attitude toward his own religious concepts. He successfully conveys why there is a need for faith, that faith is possible and can be applied to modern problems and has done it with reverence and sincerity. He  was an Oxford Group member and in the chapter Crusaders Of 1936, he states 'Though this book is not a record of the Oxford Group, it would be incomplete unless I paid tribute to this amazing movement. For though I...had found that Christ was indeed God, it was not until I went to a meeting of the Oxford Group that I found, once again, the friend whom I earlier rejected.'
  • Hillman illuminates the central importance of character to our spiritual and emotional lives. Now he completes his exploration of character with a profound and revolutionary reflection on life's second half. Character requires the additional years...the last years confirm and fulfill character. Far from blunting or dulling the self, the accumulation of experience concentrates the essence of our being, heightening our individual mystery and unique awareness of life. Drawing on his grounding in Jungian psychology, Hillman explains here the archetypes and myths that govern the self's realignment in our final years. Here is an enriching journey through the three stages of aging - lasting, the deepening that comes with longevity; leaving, the preparation for departure; and left, the special legacy we each bestow on our survivors.  Along the way the book explores the meanings and often hidden virtues of characteristic physical and emotional changes, such as loss of memory, alterations in sleep patterns and the mysterious upsurge in erotic imagination.
  • The definitive work on the Western Mystery Tradition - both setting forth the way mainstream Western occultism has developed and providing a completely modern and psychologically valid restatement of the Magickal Art. The aspiration towards perfection is essential to all who follow the path of Magick. Here is no place for scruples about spiritual narcissism or pride, or anything of that sort. To reject this aspiration would be to will a disharmony in the universal fabric, and would be at least as great as a catastrophe as the defects which it might seem to avoid. It is this aspiration, and this reverent sense of purpose which are the most sure marks of the true student of the Qabalah.
  • Written in 1922, this book is still considered to be the most authoritative work on the occult, witchcraft and paganism.  Frazer attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice, the dying god, the scapegoat, and many other symbols and practices whose influences had extended into 20th-century culture. His thesis is that old religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship and periodic sacrifice of a sacred king and that mankind progresses from magic through religious belief to scientific thought. This is a condensed version, in which the overall mastery of the subject is made much clearer and much more readable. Cover art by Peter Goodfellow.
  • A classic explanation of the Goddess through time and throughout the world draws on many religious, cultural and archaeological sources to recreate the Goddess religion that is humanity's heritage and proves that the Goddess religion - ties to the cycles of women's bodies, the seasons, the phases of the moon and the fertility of the earth - was the original religion of humanity.  Illustrated.
  • The Longest Journey You Will Make In Your Life Is From Your Head To Your Heart.  To develop true emotional awareness transforms the human experience; the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power as the alignment of the personality with the soul.  It is challenging and difficult as the process will expose our buried pain but it is also emotionally rewarding. Here is how to free ourselves from compulsions, addictions, fixations and obsessions such as anger, workaholism, perfectionism, obsessive eating, alcohol and drug abuse, even sexual addiction.

  • The charming Chinese philosopher Lin Yutang guides the reader who is accustomed to a passionate pace of life to enjoy the small, everyday gifts of life.  He talks lightly of the timeless wisdom of the East and conquers with his irresistible humor. The world is too serious, he thinks,  and that’s why it needs a wise and joyful philosophy. He encourages us to laugh at our own futility and be curious about life like a child.  With one eye closed and the other open, he sees the futility of everything around him and his own endeavors, yet retains enough sense of reality to understand that he has to try to go through life anyway.
