  • 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.
  • The charming Chinese philosopher Lin Yutang guides the reader who is accustomed to a passionate pace of life to enjoy the small, everyday gifts of life.  He talks lightly of the timeless wisdom of the East and conquers with his irresistible humor. The world is too serious, he thinks,  and that’s why it needs a wise and joyful philosophy. He encourages us to laugh at our own futility and be curious about life like a child.  With one eye closed and the other open, he sees the futility of everything around him and his own endeavors, yet retains enough sense of reality to understand that he has to try to go through life anyway.

  • This highly regarded text is a cornerstone among ceremonial magicians and occultists worldwide. The Sword and The Serpent expounds upon the principles of ceremonial magic and its relationship to the teachings of Qabalah. This volume, the second volume of The Magical Philosophy Series, presents the external Qabalistic universe and the internal Qabalistic universe; together, the two-fold universe - that which surrounds us, and the universe of the psyche within. It is the ultimate integration of the outer world and inner world that is the Great Work and purpose of High Magic. The essential structures of outer and inner worlds are here conceived of in parallel terms, seen through one common comprehensive framework, and their integration is thus revealed as comprehensible and progressive gnosis. For the magician, this is the key to learning to use the psyche, or inner world, to control and direct the forces of the outer worlds of being. Thus, and only thus, do we fulfill our destiny and become masters of our fate.
  • A fascinating study of the native Christian faith of the British Isles which captures the essence of Celtic Christianity, its origins and its development, its continuing legacy and recent revival. Practiced by the people of the British Isles between the departure of the Romans and the arrival of the Normans, Celtic Christianity was unique in its spirituality, theology and structures - it was a gentle, mystical, affirmative and holistic faith, firmly biblical and practised by the Desert Fathers  while assimilating many pagan beliefs and practices. The Celtic knot, with its endlessly interweaving and intertwining patterns is believed to be the key to understanding Celtic Christianity. The Celtic Way is recognised as the most authoritative, accessible and well-balanced introduction to the native Christian faith of the British Isles.
  • Imagine - you have just finished building your dream home, it has two bedrooms and has been designed just for you. 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. At the end of the year, your cosy two-bedroom dream home has become a six-room mansion.  This is Patsy's entertaining story - all the comical incidents, tradesmen trials, nosy neighbours and extended-family dilemmas from her first year of marriage to Bill, a psychiatrist.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Jung died in 1961 without ever having presented a systematic summary of his psychology. For the past 30-plus years, his ideas have been explored, explained and amplified by thousands of others with varying results. This book takes the reader to the source. It was designed for those seeking an understanding of relevant terms and concepts as they were used by Jung himself. There are choice extracts from his Collected Works but no reference to other writers. It is not a critique or a defence of Jung's though but a guide to its richness and an illustration of the broad scope and inter-relationship of his interests. Overall, the Lexicon contains a comprehensive overview of the basic principles of analytical psychology.

  • 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.
  • The author just doesn't talk about freedom - the deep, natural joy and peace in the core of all beings - she gives a direct, living experience of it.  The reader is guided to the stillness and joy within to liberate emotional blocks, lift away negative self concepts, release old limitations and open to the magnificence of the Self.
  • 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.
