  • What you think and what you believe has a profound effect on what you do and how you do it. You can achieve - when you believe. If you think you can't - then you never will. But your thoughts are not set in stone, nor concrete. If you can learn how to ride a bike, read, or play chess - then you can learn to control your thinking and in doing so, control your life. Here is the how-to: how to change the way you think, setting goals, expanding your thinking and twelve principles to get you on the road to the life you deserve.
  • From time immemorial, priests, saints, occultists and soothsayers have used the ancient art of candle burning in prayer, supplication or to create a reality. It's a cornerstone of practice in Christian faiths and witchcraft and paganism. This book simplifies and demystifies the ancient practice with advice on the best colours to use, the phase of the moon, the appropriate day of the week, incantations and even alternative Bible verses for those uncomfortable with paganism. More importantly, it tells  the practitioner what NOT to do and underlines the rule of, 'Do what thou wilt - with harm to none.'
  • We talk about aging gracefully but then we dread the inevitable decline in our health, our looks, our sexuality and even just our pleasure in Life itself.  But Dr. Christiane has proven that growing older can be an entirely different experience. "Taking all the right pills...having all the right procedures...isn't the prescription for anti-aging...It's about vitality, the creative force that gives birth to new life."
  • Instant Calm - the busy person's guide to finding peace and contentment in a restless world. These ingenious shortcuts to calm are written in entertaining, easy-to-follow language and are gleaned from sources as divergent as the wisdom of ancient civilizations and the discoveries of modern science. Wilson's solutions are based on meditation, acupressure, self-hypnosis, psychotherapy, aromatherapy, exercise, diet, and much more.
  • Dreams have a power that can be used to shape your life, your relationships and help you understand yourself.  Even if you believe that you never dream or that some dreams don;t make sense, you can learn how to recall your dreams and their symbology, step by step, to discover exactly what they mean to you. Many dream interpretation books are general; but Helen McLean, as an experienced Gestalt practitioner, knows  that dreams and their meaning are personal to the dreamer and that symbols differ radically from dreamer to dreamer.
  • It's not easy when a marriage ends and you find yourself coping with more of your own company than ever before. But as popular columnist Helen Brown puts it, it's a matter of learning to love that face in the mirror and finding some redeeming feature about yourself. It's a time for finishing some things - and starting others. This is a work about adjusting to personal change, settling some of the differences between men and women, dealing with materialism and learning that there's  still loads of laughs in the world.
  • An explanation as to how, from ancient Qabalistic, Greek, and Egyptian roots, the Western Esoteric Systems have an unbroken initiation tradition that has been handed down from adept to neophyte. In this book, Dion Fortune indicates the broad outlines and underlying principles of these systems, illuminating an obscure and greatly misunderstood aspect of the path. Thanks to her teaching, even those who cannot give their lives to the pursuit of esoteric science can still evolve a philosophy of life and discover their individual relationship to the cosmic whole. Revised edition contains a new introduction by Gareth Knight, and an index. Dion Fortune is a celebrated teacher of the Western Mystery Tradition. She founded a study group, The Society of Inner Light, which is still active in London today. She died in 1946.
  • Well-known Jungian analyst Bani Shorter examines how women are initiated into becoming themselves. In  former times transitions from one stage of life to another were prepared for and marked by ritual initiation; in modern times this necessity has been overlooked and women's natural development is being made more difficult as a consequence. Through working in close therapeutic relationship with women, Shorter found that women instinctively create rituals when faced with challenges and crises, to mark their journey towards maturation, wholeness and meaning.  In this process they discover who they are and recognise dimensions of themselves previously repressed or unrecognised.
  • The new spiritual 'supermarket' of today brings both perils and opportunities. This book is the result of a major and lengthy study conducted at the Centre for Study of New Religious Movements (California) on the topic of spiritual tyranny versus legitimate spiritual authority, including articles and interviews from many luminaries of inner transformations.  It will sharpen the seeker's ability to recognise valid approaches to inner spiritual development and provides enabling to choose a suitable spiritual path and group with discrimination.

  • The Longest Journey You Will Make In Your Life Is From Your Head To Your Heart.  To develop true emotional awareness transforms the human experience; the expansion of human perception beyond the five senses leads to a new understanding of power as the alignment of the personality with the soul.  It is challenging and difficult as the process will expose our buried pain but it is also emotionally rewarding. Here is how to free ourselves from compulsions, addictions, fixations and obsessions such as anger, workaholism, perfectionism, obsessive eating, alcohol and drug abuse, even sexual addiction.

  • 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.
  • Edited by Hugh Lynn Cayce. Cayce demonstrates techniques for dream interpretation - predicting the future; discovering hidden personal talents; relieving nervous tension; making money; rearing children; discovering past lives; developing ESP; and gaining insight into this life and beyond.

  • Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick, but about religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth. Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented religion dedicated to the Goddess and God.

  • A delightful book about learning to love and nurture yourself and others by understanding the true rhythms of life in the natural world. This book covers a range of disciplines and philosophies, ranging from the casting of spells and the brewing of love potions to harnessing the power of the Moon. There are also compatibility charts, useful exercises and important lessons, such as developing a sense of harmony and strength, cleansing your hurt feelings and empowering your intuition.  
  •  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.
  • From the author of You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay expands her philosophies of loving the self through:  learning to listen and trust the inner voice;  loving the child within;  letting our true feelings out;  the responsibility of parenting;  releasing our fear about growing older;  allowing ourselves to receive prosperity; expressing our creativity; accepting change as a natural part of life;  creating a world that is ecologically sound where it's safe to love each other; and much more. There is also a chapter devoted to meditations for personal and planetary healing. This book is for anyone who wants to change their life - and have the life they were meant to lead.
  • First published in 1910. The author explains that the 'universal mind' underlies and permeates all creation. Through he process of visualisation we can engage the law of attraction - impressing our thoughts on formless substance and bringing the desired object into material form.  To achieve this, it is important that we align ourselves with the positive forces of natural law.  Economic and emotional security can be achieved in a practical and non-competitive way while maintaining a harmonious and loving relationship with all of life. Mr Wattles died in 1911, a very prosperous man.
  • Comprehensive in coverage and meticulously researched, this book calls on the latest scientific research to challenge our society's largely unquestioning commitment to new technology. While modern technology has many benefits, the authors believe that Western society's reliance on the latest tech as a cure-all for our problems is seriously misplaced - in some cases, dangerously so. Health and environment issues include: The damaging effects on human health of certain microwaves, including those from mobile phones, mobile phone base stations and television transmission towers; the ongoing debate about the effects of human health of aluminium in food and other consumer  products; the growing evidence that the trans-polyunsaturated acids formed in most margarines during manufacture may be worse for your health than butter; and the growing understanding that the amount of natural light entering the eyes can contribute significantly to the body's ability to fight disease.  There is much which is disagreeable and sometimes distressing, but this book is not a downer. At the end of each chapter there's a positive 'What YOU can do' section.

  • Sagar asks: How are we - as a species living what we think is a civilised life - to survive? How do we continue to live in an overcrowded world whose finite resources are being rapidly exhausted and  whose biological support systems are close to breakdown? There is a wide-spread and fast-growing belief that tinkering with economics and local conservation measures are not enough; that what is needed is a revolution in our consciousness regarding our place in the natural world and our responsibilities towards it. Science and religion are often referred to - but very rarely is there any mention of literature.  Sagar attempts to reassert the essential relationship between imagination,  nature and human survival. By close readings of major works by seventeen of the greatest writers (from Homer to Hughes) that literature has a central contribution to make in our efforts  to discover the laws of nature and human nature, and to live within them.
  • For 2000 years, since it pierced the side of Christ, the Spear of Destiny has been invested with amazing occult power. 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 Spear of Destiny is identified as the Spear of the Holy Grail mentioned in the sagas of the Dark Ages and shows the Grail to be a uniquely Western path to mind expansion. For the first time the Satanic occult development and faculties of Adolf Hitler are described in authentic and documented detail,   demonstrating how he furthered his aims and his conquest of the world by black magic practices. The final chapters describe a Manichean battle of worlds behind the changing scene of modern times.  With black and white photographs.

  • The prophetic theme of a returning cultural hero is  one of the most enduring myths of mankind. Its impact and importance is due to the message of hope and renewal that the hero brings to a gloomy world locked in the shadows and ruled by fear. In a time of dire need, the hero appears. To the MesoAmericans, their hero was Quetzalcoatl - the Feathered Serpent. For over 25 years, the author has travelled the world seeking the 'First Knowledge' of indigenous peoples - from elders, medicine men and women, shamans - to discover the knowledge that can guide survival and renewal at the end of times.

  • Since Nostradamus' predictions first appeared in the sixteenth century, his reputation as the world's most renowned scholar and seer has grown and continues to grow. Many of his prophecies have come true with startling accuracy; the Great Fire of London, the rise of Hitler, the execution of Charles 1, the Vietnam war and more; others are more obscure and seem to have not yet been fulfilled. Cheetham is regarded as being the foremost authority on Nostradamus and made his prophecies her life work; continually re-reading, studying and reviewing, offering different possible interpretations of the hundreds of quatrains, all of which were written in code and in four different languages.
