  • There may come a time when your idea of natural health will clash head-on with drugs, hospital and medical machinery and your natural way of looking after yourself rarely survives the impact. One in five Europeans have been to an alternative health practitioner; one in four shops in health shops. One in three of the US population uses unconventional therapies of some kind. But do they need to abandon all that as soon as they land in hospital?  Dr. Fulder believes that health products and practices are not just for the healthy; more, they have a vital role in coping with conventional medical treatments.  Here is a guide to surviving it all, getting the best out of your medical treatment and keeping your natural health attitude.

  • The landscape of Wiltshire is an ancient one. The burial mounds of kings and chieftains overlook the land; trackways that are millennia old wind through lonely places; the defensive ditches  of forts can be seen on the brows of many hills.  Overshadowing all are the ancient monuments of Avebury and Stonehenge and the awe-inspiring man-made  mound of Silbury Hill.  It's no wonder that those who succeeded the vanished races who built this landscape came to regard these works with a superstitious reverence. Surely, such structures could only have been built by giants or wizards; the magnificent burial mounds must cover the earthly bodies of legendary beings - or do they hide the entrance to the underworld? And only the Devil could have been capable of carrying such large, heavy stones. This volume covers the folklore of round barrows, long barrows, barrow hills, earthworks, standing stones and henges.   Illustrated with maps and black and white photographs.

  •  It has been written, and should be read, as a travel book. But its journey is through the land of the spirit. Nicholas shows post-World War II Britain as a chaos of conflicting faiths. He describes the neglected streets of Canterbury; the crowds that throng around spirit-healers ; he examines the claims of the Christian Scientists and analyses the growing power of Rome. He travelled from the valleys of Wales, where faith is expressed in song to the remotest haunts of the Wee Frees (a small group of Scots Presbyterians who chose to remain outside the 1900 union of the Scottish United Kirk.) where worship is as stark and stern as the barren countryside.
  • Cornelius Agrippa was  German polymath, physician, legal scholar, soldier, theologian and occult writer. His Three Books of Occult Philosophy published in 1533 drew heavily upon Kabbalah, Hermeticism and neo-Platonism. His book was widely influential among occultists of the early modern period, and was condemned as heretical by the inquisitor of Cologne. He was had somewhat of a reputation as a prophet. It is believed that he was involved in a secret occult group as a young man, but in later life he recanted his belief in magical and occult practices.  Given the seriousness of his beliefs it is unlikely that he would have penned the Oracle; and it is more likely that during the Victorian age period of interest in seances and able turning, an entrepreneur has based this Oracle on a form of divination descended from Agrippa. The method involves choosing a question from a list of 100, then randomly selecting a symbol and matching the symbol to a table which gives on which page the answer may be found.
  • A profusely illustrated compendium of astrological knowledge that explores the significance of each of the twelve sun signs of the zodiac and the complementary effect of the moon in its different phases.

This is the legend and its continuing fulfillment through the decline of the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages and into the twentieth century. It tells the story of the chain of men who possessed the Spear, from Herod the Great to Adolf Hitler and how they sought to change the face of history by wielding its occult powers for good or evil.

The final chapters describe a Manichean battle of worlds behind the changing scene of modern times.  With black and white photographs.
  • The Celtic approach to mysticism is holistic, with little distinction made between the sacred and the secular, or between the physical world and the spiritual. The spiritual awareness grew from Celtic myths and legends: god-like warriors; druids who could walk between the worlds; and magical lands that lay on the boundaries of earthly kingdoms. Celtic mysticism is an approach to life and this book brings the Celtic world - its histories and stories - into a modern context. The important myths and the Celts' feeling for their world is explored and explained and there are exercises to increase your awareness of the power of nature and its holistic character as well as using meditation  and mind-journeying to meet Celtic archetypes.

  • Sequel to The Man Who Listens. Many years have passed since John Godfrey's sanctuary was built as a refuge for the lost. It is just two marble rooms: one for those waiting to be heard and one for the Man Who Listens.  The Man Who Listens accepts every blasphemy, every pitiful excuse, and every intimate tale of degradation with silent understanding. He is a mysterious stranger. Drawn to the Sanctuary are the grieving, the despairing, the cynical, the defeated, the dying, the betrayed, and the broken...a minister who no longer believes in God; a loving usband who would kill his wife to prevent her lingering death from cancer; a thirty-three year old 'boy'; a rich man who has nothing; a coloured man agonising over a life lived as a symbol; a woman whose hope is a dream; a mother forsaking her faith in the wake of her child’s leukemia; a suicidal working man who has lost his business and his family;  an artist going blind and mad; and a disbelieving cop who furiously seeks out the Sanctuary for one purpose: to expose the Man Who Listens as a fraud. For each, there is a revealing confrontation and the discovery that he or she needs to make.
