  •  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.

  • 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 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.
