  • An excellent introduction to the Runes in their aspect of healing and insight; how to learn their language; how to 'hear' what they are telling you and how to interpret the messages the give you as a means of communications with the subconscious mind. They are regarded as oracular rather than being a way of 'fortune-telling' -an oracle does not give you instruction on how to proceed, nor does it predict the future: instead, the Oracle points your attention towards those hidden fears and motivations that will shape your future by their unfelt presence and will direct your attention to the realm of choice. This book will tell you what is an appropriate  issue, upright and reversed interpretations; the art of Rune casting; keeping a Rune journal; the legacy of the Runes and Magic in the present tense.

  • 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.
  • Book III of Paradise. Some say roll with the punches. Drift with the tide. Nothing can stop the inevitability of change. There was a time when 300 Spartans disagreed with such mindless thinking and stood in the gap. Now it's time for 3,000 to stand in the gap. Marsuvees Black is a force of raw evil who speaks with wicked persuasion that is far more destructive than swords or guns. Beware all who stand in his way. Billy Rediger and Darcy Lange are two unsuspecting survivors of a research project gone bad, who discover that they are perhaps the two most powerful souls in the land. Johnny Drake comes out of the desert and leads the 3,000. This is the story of a free land where people who worship as they please and say what they believe are suddenly silenced in the name of tolerance. Most will roll with the punches.  Most will drift with the tide. But not all. Not the 3,000....

Rumours begin to fly about what might be going on behind the paper-covered windows and locked door. But Matilda has a little something for each of them on her cluttered shelves - a gift, just waiting to be found...
  • Marjorie Florence Deasey and her husband Dudley Rawson Deasey were missionaries with the Unevangelised Fields Mission/Asia Pacific Christian Mission.
