You've endured the traumas of tradesmen who you've had to cajole, bribe and beg in order to get your home finished.  The next thing that happens is that you are suddenly married, and five of your husband's children, two grandchildren, a step-son-in-law and an assortment of animals are living with you.

  • The prophetic theme of a returning cultural hero is  one of the most enduring myths of mankind.

  • Love has always been all around us, and many and varied are the rituals and superstitions that surround it. How to meet our true love; how to tell if our lover is true; will we be lucky in love?  Many of the symbols and signs of love have their roots planted in the mythologies of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece, when every flower was the emblem of a god or goddess. With the spread of Christianity, flowers and trees were assigned to the saints but Christianity did not dispel the superstition and ritual of love, falling in love and loving. Did you know that if a girl wears a sprig of ivy next to her heart, she will marry the first young man she speaks to? Or if a bride finds a little spider in  the folds of her wedding gown as she is dressing, she will never be poor? There are even ways and means of causing an apparition of a future lover to appear. Beautifully illustrated.

  • From this making of the world, to Ragnarok - the last Great Battle - Green tells the story in one continuous narrative taken from the myths of the Northmen. From the ice and snow of the past comes the tale of  how, in the beginning, there was only the Yawning Void,  called Ginnungagap: but deep in the Void lay the Well of Life. Over the ages ice formed over the Well, and out of it came  Ymir, the father of the   Frost Giants. Ymir was fed on the milk of a magic cow who licked the ice, and with it salt from the Well of Life to form Buri, the first of the  Ǣsir. Buri had a son, Borr,  whowas the father of Odin. Odin and his brothers overcame the ice and the Ymir, thrusting them down into the Yawning Void. They set the sea in a ring about the world, and planted the World Tree, the Ash Yggdrasill, to hold it in place. These stories are taken directly from the Norse eddas and include tales of Loki the mischief maker, Freya, Geirrodur the Troll King and much more. Illustrated by Brian Wildsmith.

  • Eleven men embarked upon a journey in 1894 with one objective: to find the great spiritual teachers of the Far East and witness their uncommon abilities. Since these Masters were scattered over a wide territory that covered a large portion of India, Tibet, China and Persia, they knew it could take years of searching many secluded villages and hidden mountain communes. Planning each step of the journey became a challenge knowing that countless miles of rugged terrain separated the remote and isolate locations that were imperative to the exploration. Even though they could plot their route on a map and see where they were headed, the destination deep within the souls of eleven scientifically trained men remained uncertain. Baird T. Spalding and the others were practical in nature and the thought of spiritual masters performing miracles seemed impossible. Despite these suspect thoughts, something compelled them to move onward. So they did. Volume 1 covers the introduction of the Master Emil the visit to the "Temple of Silence"; astral projection; walking on Water a visit to the Healing Temple; the Snowmen of the Himalayas and sheds new light on the teachings of Jesus.
