  • December 21, 2012 may have been and gone - yet the passing of time does not make this book irrelevant.  The end of the world was never going to end with a mighty bang on this date: rather, this was the date that things would begin to change.  This is a very in-depth and heavily researched look into the Mayan Prophecies and what we might expect the future to be. Illustrated with colour photographs.
  • After the witch-hunts of the Middle Ages, it was believed that the tradition of magic was dead.  Instead, a network of secret societies kept the old beliefs alive.  The authors examine some of the famous - and infamous - magicians of the past 400 years:  Dr. Lamb, Eliphas Levi, W.B. Yeats, Dion Fortune and - of course - Aleister Crowley. This is an in-depth look at their lives, beliefs, organisations, weapons and rituals.  Who were the frauds?  And who were the genuine?
  • Richard Bach made a promise, fifty years before, to return to the frightened child he used to be and teach him everything he had learned from living.  His promise went unfulfilled until one day, hovering between earth and sky, Richard encounters Dickie Bach, age nine - irrepressible challenger of every notion Richard embraces...In this spiritual adventure, Richard and Dickie probe the timeless questions both need answered if either is to be whole: Why does growing spiritually mean never growing up? Can we peacefully coexist with the consequences of our choices? Why is it that only by running from safety can we make our wildest dreams take flight?
  • Was there once a race of beings which were only partly human? If so, what became of them and where are they now? Here is a compelling scenario - if we are willing to consider the possibility of their existence. Here is an unusual dramatisation of the fierce battle between God's intention for Man and Satan's scheme to destroy it.
  • The once-isolated pagan community is finding new ways to make connections via the Internet and here is an unconventional look at Pagan-relevant topics, such as: weaving a new web for the ancient/future religion of Witchcraft; manipulating energy via electronic communication; accessing intuition in cyberspace; finding and creating  a sacred space online.
  • Book only. The Major and Minor Arcana names and suites are the same as most standard Tarot decks, with the exception of The Suite of Hearts, which is usually known as Cups. A helpful book for those just beginning to learn the art of Tarot reading. Beautifully illustrated with clear explanations of each card and chapters on how to prepare for a reading, interpretation and suggested card layouts. Suitable for use with any Tarot deck.
  • New perspectives from an old friend...and gentle reminders that we have a say in our destiny.  To have the life we want, we must embrace and move with Their vision. The secret to manifesting change is not to focus on the how - but to focus on  what it is you want and to live as if you already had it. Then the entire Universe will conspire on your behalf, rearranging the players and circumstances of your life to so-called 'accidents', coincidences and luck.
  • For everything that exists, there is someone, somewhere, who is deathly afraid of it.  Such as pupaphobia  (fear of puppets) ; biniphobia (terror of twins) and ecdysiaphobia (scared of strippers).  Even the rich and famous have their terrors:  Actress Betty Grable was terrified of crowds; Roger '007' Moore fears firearms (!)  and Daniel Radcliffe a.k.a "Harry Potter" can't stand clowns (coulrophobia).  A fascinating peek into our psyche that not only names our fears but explains them.
  • 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.
