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. -

$7.00Book 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.... -
The small town of Parrish Springs is not ready for Matilda Honeycutt. A strange older woman with scraggly gray hair and jewelry that jangles as she walks, Matilda is certainly not the most likely person to buy the old Barton Building on the town's quaint main street. When it becomes apparent that her new shop is not going to fit the expectations of Parrish Springs residents - or the Council - a brouhaha erupts. After all, Christmas is approaching, and the last thing the town needs is a weird junky shop run by someone who looks and acts like a hippie relic. 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. They lived and worked with the Gogodala people at Balimo, Papua New Guinea for over forty years. Marjorie's work included translating and teaching. When Marjorie and Dudley married in 1935, she had no idea of the enormous challenges ahead. With a limited education, she had to learn another language; deal with medical cases on her doorstep; cope with an enrollment of 600 students at her school; evacuate during the ear; survive cyclones and entertain troops. After Dudley died in 1993 – did she quietly retire? No, she decided to learn how to drive, at the age of 82. A fascinating life. Illustrated with black and white photographs.

Dr. Keeney has been at the forefront of significant changes in the psychotherapy field over the past twenty years. His writings have been published throughout the world by academic presses, and he has worked at some of the most prestigious psychotherapy institutions in the United States. Seeking to offer people a viable alternative, Everyday Soul is the first truly ecumenical book that shows how to awaken our minds, bodies, and souls to the fire that burns within us. The son of a minister, Dr. Keeney realized from an early age that the only way to achieve peace with himself was to discover his own spiritual path. He has spent years experiencing the teachings of holy men and women on the meaning of spiritual awareness, and has been initiated into the mystical practices of indigenous peoples of North and South America, as well as the Bushmen of the Kalahari. Dr Keeney is one of a handful of people who have been taught the all but extinct Japanese art of vital energy exchange by Osumi, Sen-sei. Offering experiences from his own life, Keeney skillfully incorporates these healing traditions into stories and practical exercises for creatively turning all the activities of your life - from sleep to relationships, from work to your movement through the world - toward cultivating a connection to the Divine, the Sacred, the Light. -
