Written in 1922, this book is still considered to be the most authoritative work on the occult, witchcraft and paganism. Frazer attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice, the dying god, the scapegoat, and many other symbols and practices whose influences had extended into 20th-century culture. His thesis is that old religions were fertility cults that revolved around the worship and periodic sacrifice of a sacred king and that mankind progresses from magic through religious belief to scientific thought. This is a condensed version, in which the overall mastery of the subject is made much clearer and much more readable. Cover art by Peter Goodfellow. -
The small town of Parrish Springs is not ready for Matilda Honeycutt. A strange older woman with scraggly gray hair and jewelry that jangles as she walks, Matilda is certainly not the most likely person to buy the old Barton Building on the town's quaint main street. When it becomes apparent that her new shop is not going to fit the expectations of Parrish Springs residents - or the Council - a brouhaha erupts. After all, Christmas is approaching, and the last thing the town needs is a weird junky shop run by someone who looks and acts like a hippie relic. Rumours begin to fly about what might be going on behind the paper-covered windows and locked door. But Matilda has a little something for each of them on her cluttered shelves - a gift, just waiting to be found... -
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. -

Dr. Keeney has been at the forefront of significant changes in the psychotherapy field over the past twenty years. His writings have been published throughout the world by academic presses, and he has worked at some of the most prestigious psychotherapy institutions in the United States. Seeking to offer people a viable alternative, Everyday Soul is the first truly ecumenical book that shows how to awaken our minds, bodies, and souls to the fire that burns within us. The son of a minister, Dr. Keeney realized from an early age that the only way to achieve peace with himself was to discover his own spiritual path. He has spent years experiencing the teachings of holy men and women on the meaning of spiritual awareness, and has been initiated into the mystical practices of indigenous peoples of North and South America, as well as the Bushmen of the Kalahari. Dr Keeney is one of a handful of people who have been taught the all but extinct Japanese art of vital energy exchange by Osumi, Sen-sei. Offering experiences from his own life, Keeney skillfully incorporates these healing traditions into stories and practical exercises for creatively turning all the activities of your life - from sleep to relationships, from work to your movement through the world - toward cultivating a connection to the Divine, the Sacred, the Light. -

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.
