Wiccan Wisdomkeepers: Modern-Day Witches Speak on Environmentalism, Feminism, Motherhood, Wiccan Lore, and More

Wiccan Wisdomkeepers: Modern-Day Witches Speak on Environ, 2004-07-13
A true vison of wiccan law and the matrical beliefs behind the religion. Speaks to modern day wiccans such as Doreen Valieten and Janet Farrah. The motherhood of wicca has not been put forward as prominant as in this book. I brought it for my niece as a gift to show her the true meaning of wiccan beliefs and was very impressed. As a male practitioner of over 20 years I found it compaired to recent usless and "Trendy Ritualalist MAGIK" books a fresh reminder of the true essence of wiccan beliefs and the value of motherhood

Sun of gOd - How brilliant!, 2009-06-07
Sun of gOd by Gregory Sams is a true revelation! A revelation to us humans, most of whom amble through life ignoring small things like - the Sun! (Notice the capital letter?!) You may think `A whole book on the Sun?' Yes! Gregory somehow manages to encapsulate the All of Life, The Universe and everything!
*His book begins with the chapter "Recalling the forgotten", an examination of what happened to a time when the Sun was central to our life. It also reminds us that the Sun continues to radiate, no matter what good or bad we are up to. He then takes us to `where Time began', hydrogen and helium hanging around independently in the vast blackness of Space. It was their merging that apparently began the incredible chain of events that created our star the Sun, the Solar System and within that the stunningly beautiful and abundant Planet Earth.
*Do not be put off by any scientific notions that rear up in the book. Indeed, Gregory has presented science, the basic stuff of life, in such an easy palatable form it leaves even non science friendly readers yearning for more!
*Another pleasure given by reading this powerful work is that one learns. There are teachings at every turn! I found myself going `Oh yeah' in my head many times. Greg pointed out the obvious to me even though I hadn't thought to look.
*Natural events are happening around us all the time and Gregory, through many examples takes us on a journey through these natural occurrences making us see so clearly the `self organising consciousness that underlies everything'. He ponders for a few pages on the marvels of the corona. Despite its `riddles and mysteries' we still feel a deeper understanding after reading about its magnificent 2-3 million km span. This type of writing is normally out of reach for the ordinary reader, yet somehow Gregory makes it interesting!
*Organised religions are also examined. His spectral investigation of humans' `need' to worship and the "lo'ing and beholding" that overcame us with the revealed Abrahamic religions is startling, provocative but also - plain common sense. Gregory's first book Uncommon Sense's theme is also extrapolated here - the apparent self-organisation of chaos. This connects of course to how humans have, though our sheer numbers had to manipulate nature. He manages to tie in both Earth and Space in a seamless journey of wonder.
*The chapter on light is captivating and even the "Afterwords" make up an eight chapter mini-book within a book.
*There is truly so much to savour that the only thing to do when you have finished reading it, is to begin it again.

The Training and Work of an Initiate

Invaluable book, 2003-04-16
This text is aimed at those students interested in High Ceremonial Magick; it has nothing to do with new-age stuff.
Dion Fortune (aka as Violet Mary Firth) and G. Knight are the most talented representative of the Western Tradition Magick.
Serious students should not miss the chance to get this book.

Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot

Teacher! Teacher!, 2009-05-18

Why stumble about in the dark?
I lost count of the times I've said to myself, "this is an exceptional book".

The Secrets of Chinese Meditation: Self-Cultivation by Mind Control as Taught in the Ch'an, Mahayana and Taoist Schools in China

A very important book about Chinese meditation, 1997-11-05
An excellent introduction to the various meditation techniques used by Buddhists and Taoist. A very important message regarding meditation is that the quality of one's meditation is directly proportional to one's virtue. Cultivate virtue and your meditation will be successful. The chapters on Zen and Pure Land meditation techniques are highly recommended. Patriarch Hsu Yun's discourse on using the "hua tou", or koan, is extremely valuable.

The Art of the Pendulum

The Pagan Dream of the Renaissance

Triumphal Chariot of Joscelyn Godwin, 2007-04-30
I loved the author's translation of the delightful "Hypnerotomachia" and this book has a chapter on it but mainly concerns visual arts. Those following recent studies on tarot symbolism will note his treatment of the Tarocchi of Mantegna and the Triumphal processions. The many illustrations show the themes of pagan legends, astrology and hermetics all inspired art, architecture and garden design. See for example the multi-breasted statue of Diana of Ephesus reproduced as a fountain in the Villa D'Este.I am enjoying this work and learning much about esoteric thought in the renaissance.
