  • 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.
  • Have you killed any strangers lately? Try it - it can be fun! All you have to do is make a friend; because every time you make a friend you kill a stranger. Each person whose story is in this book has learnt this exciting, valuable lesson.  Many people, able-bodied and disabled, find it hard to make friends.  The book issues the challenge to the claim that normal (?) people are responsible for the non-acceptance of disabled folk in the full life of the community.  The disabled can equally be at fault. "It's a bit like the generation gap - both sides must be willing to walk some of the way across the bridge of communication." Here are REAL people willing to share their hidden scars and their joyous victories.
  • The mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. He meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king - and an alchemist. His quest will lead him to riches far different - and far more satisfying - than he ever imagined.

Illustrated by James Noel Smith.
  • The dearth of suitable introductory texts presents a serious obstacle to the study of the Egyptian language, so this practical grammar answers a longstanding need. Its well-known and highly respected author, a Keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum, has written many other popular Dover books on Egyptology. Contents include lists of frequently used signs and determinatives, a short vocabulary of about 500 words, a series of 31 texts and extracts (with interlinear transliteration and word-for-word translation), and a few untransliterated and untranslated texts (with glossary), to be worked out independently. This is a valuable book for archaeologists, anthropologists, and anyone with a professional or amateur interest in Ancient Egypt.
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Steiner lays out practical means of attaining metaphysical knowledge and mystical experience. There slumber in every human being faculties by means of which he can acquire for himself a knowledge of higher worlds. Mystics, Gnostics, Theosophists — all speak of a world of soul and spirit which for them is just as real as the world we see with our physical eyes and touch with our physical hands. At every moment the listener may say to himself: that, of which they speak, I too can learn, if I develop within myself certain powers which today still slumber within me. There remains only one question — how to set to work to develop such faculties.
  • Book V of The Ringing Cedars Of Russia. A description of the author's search for real-life 'proofs' of Anastasia's vision presented in the previous volumes.

Full of beautiful realistic images of a new way of living in co-operation with the Earth and each other, this book also highlights the role of children in making us aware of the precariousness of the present situation and in leading the global transition toward a happy, violence-free society.

  • In this extraordinary work, Henry Reed draws on American psychic Edgar Cayce's inspiring words and principles to show how that it is possible to reach the higher self, understand the nature of the super and subconscious minds, be open to information passed from one realm to the other and to heal the self via the conduit of the soul, revealing the great, untapped power of the spirit can transform lives in very meaningful ways.

  • Dr. Dubos believes that if we continue to make choices for our future only in relation to negative issues such as pollution or overpopulation, our civilisation will become dreary and meaningless.  Instead, we could learn to cultivate the positive values that exist in Man's nature and in the external world. These positive values cannot be introduced from the outside.  All ancient civilisations have believed that every person or group of people,k every place or region is endowed with attributes and potentialities which confer a 'genius' or 'spirit' that give each its uniqueness. The 'god within' accounts for the unique creative expressions of every person, place and period. Human personalities, landscapes and civilisations are created through the interplay between man's nature and external nature. Modern science will not really be meaningful to the creative life of the individual until it learns to relate his innate genius to the spirit of the place in which he lives. First published in 1972, Dubos  foresaw the day we would have to live with the harmful by-products of technology and offered an optimistic philosophy which yet may rescue the world.
  • Pele, the volcano Goddess of ancient Hawai'i, is still openly revered and worshipped in the islands. Her personification has evolved from a rich heritage of mythology and lore of her exploits introduced to the Western world by W.D. Westervelt.

The powerful conflicts between Pele and Poliahu, the snow goddess, and Hi'iaka and the many mo'o (supernatural water creatures) are recounted with great dramatic suspense. Cover art by Brian Ibaan.

The Wheel, the Wilderness, the Spiral, the Labyrinth, the Rose, the Tree, the Fire and the Light are such images which are all produced and reacted to spontaneously by those who travel the path of Transcendence.
