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.

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 Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities with little relevance to our contemporary situation. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. Awakening Osiris is a beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead as a series of meditations that reveals the soul of Egypt like no book before. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate - they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of effective utterance, Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse. -
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. -
The Celtic Way: Ian Bradley

More importantly, it tells the practitioner what NOT to do and underlines the rule of, 'Do what thou wilt - with harm to none.' -

Well-known Jungian analyst Bani Shorter examines how women are initiated into becoming themselves. In former times transitions from one stage of life to another were prepared for and marked by ritual initiation; in modern times this necessity has been overlooked and women's natural development is being made more difficult as a consequence. Through working in close therapeutic relationship with women, Shorter found that women instinctively create rituals when faced with challenges and crises, to mark their journey towards maturation, wholeness and meaning. In this process they discover who they are and recognise dimensions of themselves previously repressed or unrecognised. -

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. -
