  • 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.
  • Edited by Hugh Lynn Cayce. Composed mainly of Cayce's own words from the thousands of files at the Cayce Foundation, this is the definitive work on Cayce's achievements in parapsychological phenomena. ESP topics covered include: out of body travel; unusual incidences of clairvoyance; auras; telepathy; missing persons; precognition and prophecy; dreams; and psychic development in individuals.

  • Edited by Hugh Lynn Cayce. Out of 14,000 of Cayce's recorded readings, more than 9,000 dealt with health.  Cayce's ability to diagnose, while in trance, the physical disorders of a person he had never met, who might be hundreds of miles away and then suggest effective treatment remains one of the most astonishing psychic feats of modern times. Here, a dozen cases are scrutinised by professional writer Carter and modern M.D. McGarey. What sort of person consulted Cayce? What did the readings mean to those who received them? What light does advances in modern medicine shed on his then-unorthodox recommendations for treatment? A fascinating and often surprising book.

  • From his predictions about life and death in the French court of Catherine de' Medici to his uncannily suggestive preconceptions of World War II, Michel de Nostradamus has aroused continual fascination-and commercialization-in the West. Today, many search his elliptical "centuries"- or collected verses-for new truths about 9/11 and End Times, while supermarket tabloids routinely falsify and exploit his pronouncements. What is the difference between prophecy and prediction, and how has it led to a misuse of the ideas of Nostradamus, as well as those of other post-biblical prognosticators? What is the nature of the oracular tradition in the West-stretching back to the oracle at Delphi-and how can Nostradamus be understood from this perspective? Smoley presents a fresh, scholarly and literal translation of Nostradamus's Middle French, together with a detailed commentary on Nostradamus's key quatrains, with a sharp eye toward the political and social events of Nostradamus' era, allowing readers to make their own determination as to the passages' historical references and accuracy
  • Who wouldn't want to know the answer to the question: What will happen next?  For hundreds of years, philosophers, scientists, and mystics have studied the enigmatic writings of the great prognosticator Nostradamus for clues as to what our future holds. Drawing upon recent investigations undertaken by government agencies, major corporations, and noted works by world-renowned researchers, this book contains never-before revealed predictions for the years 2003-2025 - including a haunting reference to the September 11 attacks on the Twin Towers in one of Nostradamus's most famous quatrains. Arranged in chronological year-by-year order of events, predictions range from the future of science and technology, to drastic changes in climate, population explosions, political upheaval and social and cultural milestones for humanity. For all those who wish to know the foretold destiny of our world in the next quarter century, this is a must-have guide for the future.
  • First published in 1967, this classic story of a young man's journey into the Pacific Northwest is as relevant today as ever. Here amid the grandeur of British Columbia stands the village of Kingcome, a place of salmon runs and ancient totems - a village so steeped in time that, according to Kwakiutl legend, it was founded by two brothers left on earth after the great flood. Yet in this Eden of such natural beauty and richness, the old culture under attack - slowly being replaced by a new culture of prefab houses and alcoholism. Into this world, where an entire generation of young people has become disenchanted and alienated from their heritage, comes Mark Brian, a young vicar sent to the small isolated parish by his church. This is his journey of discovery - a journey that will teach him about life, death, and the transforming power of love.

  •  An original, meticulously researched and riveting study that re-examines the Salem Witchcraft hysteria. In 1692 the people of Massachusetts were living in fear and not solely of satanic afflictions. Horrifyingly violent Indian attacks had all but emptied the northern frontier of settlers, and many traumatized refugees - including the main accusers of witches - had fled to communities like Salem. Meanwhile the colony’s leaders, defensive about their own failure to protect the frontier, pondered how God’s people could be suffering at the hands of savages. Struck by the similarities between what the refugees had witnessed and what the witchcraft “victims” described, many were quick to see a vast conspiracy of the Devil (in league with the French and the Indians) threatening New England on all sides. By providing this essential context to the famous events, and by casting a net well beyond the borders of Salem itself, new light has been shed on one of the most perplexing and fascinating periods in history.

  • Anger is a signal and one worth listening to. Anger deserves our attention and respect, yet women are still taught to silence their anger, to deny it entirely or to vent it in a way that leaves them feeling helpless and powerless.

  • From the zeros of the mathematician to the void of the philosophers, from Shakespeare to the empty set, from the ether to the quantum, from being and nothingness to creatio ex nihilo, there is much ado about nothing at the heart of things.  Recent discoveries in astronomy are shedding new light on the nature of the vacuum and its dramatic effect upon the explanation of the Universe.  This book ranges over every nook and cranny of nothingness to reveal how the human mind has to make something of nothing in every field of human enquiry.

  • Here is the revolutionary idea of Positive Psychology - which focuses on  strengths rather than weaknesses and asserts that happiness is not the result of good genes or random luck. Happiness can be cultivated by identifying and using the strengths and traits the individual already has: including kindness, generosity, originality, humour and optimism. These signature strengths can not only develop a natural buffer against misfortune and the experience of negative emotions, but can move lives up to a new and more positive plane.

  • The Red Book contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung’s later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality. As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, The creation of one of modern history’s true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung’s place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud.
  • Pele, the volcano Goddess of ancient Hawai'i, is still openly revered and worshipped in the islands.

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.

  • What is a swami? What are they really like? What do their teachings actually say? This book is concerned with just these questions and explores with enthusiasm and respect the wise (and sometimes not-so-wise) holy men of India. It looks at their teachings and methods in the search for peace, their ways of life, their human personalities and their holy purpose.
