In this beautifully-written guide, Chief Druid Philip Carr-Gomm shows how the way of Druids can be followed today. He explains-- The ancient history and inspiring beliefs of the ancient Druids-- Druidic wild wisdom and their tree-, animal- and herb-lore-- The mysteries of the Druids' seasonal celebrations-- The Druids' use of magic and how their spirituality relates to paths such as Wicca. This guide will show how the wild wisdom of the Druids can help us to connect with our spirituality, our innate creativity, the natural world and our sense of ancestry. The life-enhancing beliefs and practices of this spiritual path have much to offer our 21st-century world.
Subjectivity: The Hidden and Neglected Side of Human Nature
addresses the important issue of psychology's failure to embrace
subjectivity to any great extent. The book also takes up the
challenge of formalizing a subjective science based on living data
and sure intuition, as suggested by D.H Lawrence. Philosophical and
theological understandings of the nature of "being" are explored,
as is the emergence of the subjective viewpoint in literature. Both
indicate that something has been lacking in our recent
understanding of what it is to be fully human. The emergence of
subjectivity in psychoanalysis and a psychological reading of
Martin Buber's book on existence, I and Thou, are used to indicate
possible future directions. Kenneth Bragan grew up in a small coal
mining town near Newcastle in northern England. He now lives in the
Lakes District of the south island of New Zealand. He graduated in
medicine at Edinburgh University and trained as a psychiatrist in
New Zealand. During his thirty years of psychiatric practice, he
developed a particular interest in the healing power of writing. He
is working on his next book Is There Still a Place for God.

Everyone is intuitive to some degree. It's part of who we are. By
practicing to improve those gifts you will be creating a stronger
connection to everyone and everything; that part of you which is
spontaneously instinctive, perceptive and insightful, that part of
you which is connected to your soul, your frame of mind, courage
and character. Soul Therapy, a Game of Intuition promises to help
you help yourself. It's only a game, or is it?
