In doing so, we will round the corner which is currently out of sight, but which will present us with all that we have ever dreamed. We are never alone. We are of eternal love.

It is through the Norse God of Magic, Odhin, that gods and men are able to receive the wisdom of the Runes.

"If I had wished to attach to each quatrain a listing of its period, that would have been possible to do." With these words to his King, Nostradamus, the 16th-century French seer, left behind hundreds of controversial prophecies. Author Kay Wells asks: what if he did do just that? Attach a list? For the explosive answer, she selects Quatrain X.72, which predicts apocalyptic events for 1999. Using the prophet's words as her guide, she solves the quatrain's many puzzles and uncovers the sensational secret they hide - a network of dates for 1900-2010 that traces the history of Britain, a fading power, and the United States, supreme at the end of the 20th century. Regions, personalities and events are highlighted, from Iraq in 1917 to Afghanistan in 2010, from Elizabeth II to Barack Obama, from space technology to quantum theory. It's all there, our world, our age, marked out for us by the man whose brilliant vision has always been concealed. Until now.

Could the things people say about their experiences of paranormal phenomena, such as telepathy, precognitive dreams, angels etc., be imagination run wild or could they be real experiences? Should we without further consideration reject the major religions - or dismiss the stories of unexpected healings, spiritual experiences, or other unusual events as fiction or coincidence? Anne Skjonsberg went in search of explanations for the inexplicable, and in this book presents the fruits of her extensive reading. With the major religious traditions as background, she provides a fascinating presentation of strange phenomena and abilities, duly recorded and witnessed, as well as research and the theories around them. Consciousness, dreams and visualization, spirit beings and channelling, near-death experiences and reincarnation are key topics among the many aspects discussed. The book comes complete with a detailed bibliography and reference notes and index.

One of the easiest and logical system of palmistry that i ever saw: Sophie (Gaurav's Student) The best thing about this book is that it is written by a teacher of palmistry so he knows what it takes to make students learn: Michael Nelson (Gaurav's Student) This book is better than the most other books for learning palmistry because this book is written for the sole purpose of teaching the palmistry in a scientific and rational manner to new learners. The most of the other books available in market were not meant for teaching; they were not written for learners. All the available books on palmistry lacked a systematic approach with simplified principles for teaching. For this reason this book 'Principles of Palmistry: A Self Learning Manual' was written. This contains the principles and the system of palmistry that he developed for his students over the years. While reading this book student will feel like talking to the author in his class. Every fact is explained with reason and ample (125) illustrations. This book aims to enable the students to learn the system and principles of palmistry for applying on everyone's hand with confidence. Author of this book Dr. Gaurav Agrawal is the instructor of palmistry at the Indian Palmistry Institute, Rishikesh, India. While teaching he realized that there was not a single book of palmistry that was helpful to new students. For his simplified and logical system he was very much appreciated. Moreover being a clinical psychologist he had used and taught palmistry as a tool for understanding human personality. This understanding is also incorporated in this book. Surely it will be helpful for new learners and also for all those palmists who know the subject but still want to learn it systematically with a logical approach.
