The paranormal history of Buckinghamshire is brought vividly to
life in this, the first dedicated guide to the haunted and uncanny
sites of this most beautiful, yet mysterious of home counties.
Writer, photographer and psychical researcher Eddie Brazil brings
together a chilling collection of supernatural experiences, ranging
from Hughenden Manor, where the ghost of Benjamin Disraeli is said
the walk the corridors, to the phantom horseman of Penn village,
the sinister woman in black at Burleighfield House to the troubled
ghost of Suki of the George Inn. Here there are haunted roads,
cellars, railways, woods, caves, churches and stately homes, both
ancient and modern, where a host of ghostly denizens from the
compelling and chilling world of the supernatural draw disturbingly
close to the living. Brazil draws on over fifty years of
investigation to answer those repeatedly asked questions: why are
places haunted and what exactly is a ghost? His findings may well
leave the readers with furrowed brows and open mouths. Paranormal
Buckingham takes the reader into the world of ghosts and spirits in
the county, following their footsteps into the unknown. These tales
of haunted places, supernatural happenings and weird phenomena will
delight the ghost hunters, and fascinate and intrigue everybody who
knows Buckinghamshire.

Long considered the best single introduction to the Qabalah for
magicians, the third edition of Israel Regardie's A Garden of
Pomegranates is now better than ever, thanks to the extensive
annotations and new material by Chic Cicero and Sandra Tabatha
Cicero. Their work has made A Garden of Pomegranates easier to
understand, more complete, and up to date. It now includes over 300
pages of never-before-published information from two Senior Adepts
of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. --Expands Regardie's
definitive text into a practical manual for Qabalistic magic
--Includes pathworkings and guided visualizations for the 32 Paths
of Wisdom --Suggests a course of study for learning the Qabalah and
incorporating its teachings into daily life --Shows how to create
your own personal Qabalistic mantra using gematria or Hebrew
numerology --Includes a technique for Rising on the Planes, so you
can explore different Qabalistic worlds --Features a Middle
Pillar-style exercise for exploring and activating different parts
of the soul --Written by one of the most influential magical
teachers of modern times and two of his personal students
The Qabalah is the ancient system of Hebrew mysticism that is
the foundation of Western magical and esoteric studies. Its primary
symbol is the Tree of Life, a diagram that can aid in the study of
the nature of the Universe, the essence of God, and the human mind,
spirit, and soul. A Garden of Pomegranates is the clearest
introductory guide on this subject. When Israel Regardie wrote A
Garden of Pomegranates in 1932, he designed it to be a simple yet
comprehensive guidebook outlining the complex system of the Qabalah
and providing a key to its symbolism. Since then, it has achieved
the status of a classic among texts on the Qabalah. The full
annotations, critical commentary, and explanatory notes now make
this book the ultimate single resource on the subject. The new
material, including pathworkings, exercises, daily affirmations,
rituals, meditations, and more, not only complement the original,
full text included in this edition, but also make A Garden of
Pomegranates indispensable for modern magicians.
The Pleiadian Workbook is a direct transmission from the Pleiadian
Emissaries of Light--Light beings from the Pleiades--who say it's
time now for spiritual growth, ascension, and healing. Through
Amorah Quan Yin, we are taught to open our "Ka Channels," which
pull energy from our multidimensional, holographic selves into our
physical bodies. These galactic healing techniques align us with
our divine selves, raise our vibratory rates, and rejuvenate and
balance our bodies, while accelerating spiritual evolution and
stimulating emotional healing.
A true story which describes, in graphic detail, the supernormal
experiences of the author who made two visits deep into the centre
of the Earth, near the living Heart of the Planet. He was met, on
both of these occasions, by The Three Ancient Lords Of The Flames,
who have accepted the responsibility as Protectors of the Life
Force of this Planet. These beings, ancient and wise beyond
description, are the most highly-evolved masters living on Earth to
this present day and have been throughout history. The author also
describes the amazing scene, during his second visit, when he was
allowed the supreme honour of standing before the astounding
Ineffable Flame of the Logos, which is the life force of the
Goddess -- Terra.

investigator Denise Roffe, who explores Charleston along with the

ghostly residents. Examine nail-biting eyewitness accounts of
paranormal events that are backed by historical research and more
than twenty years of investigative experience as Denise takes you

journey to discover the paranormal and unexplained happenings that
have occurred throughout Berkshire. From haunted sites to spectral
figures and supernatural phenomena, here is an eerie exploration of
the royal county and a collection of its chilling tales. Each of

Maidenhead, Ascot, Newbury, Hungerford, Bisham, Caversham, Cookham,
Datchet, Slough, Thatcham and some of the smaller villages in the

activity and, with the assistance of the Oxfordshire and Berkshire
Paranormal Research Group, reveals newly discovered material. He
also participates in a local ghost hunt and provides a fascinating
account of his observations accompanied by his own photographs. As
well as detailing the nature of his own interest in the paranormal,
and his experiences at the various paranormal sites, author Robert
Bard also selects his own haunted highlights from his chilling
exploration through the county. Paranormal Berkshire will appeal to
those with an interest in the supernatural, and to local people who
want to discover their county's haunted heritage. Are you brave
enough to read on?
One of NPR's Great Reads of 2016 "A lively assemblage and smart
analysis of dozens of haunting stories...absorbing...[and]
intellectually intriguing." -The New York Times Book Review From
the author of The Unidentified, an intellectual feast for fans of
offbeat history that takes readers on a road trip through some of
the country's most infamously haunted places-and deep into the dark
side of our history. Colin Dickey is on the trail of America's
ghosts. Crammed into old houses and hotels, abandoned prisons and
empty hospitals, the spirits that linger continue to capture our
collective imagination, but why? His own fascination piqued by a
house hunt in Los Angeles that revealed derelict foreclosures and
"zombie homes," Dickey embarks on a journey across the continental
United States to decode and unpack the American history repressed
in our most famous haunted places. Some have established
reputations as "the most haunted mansion in America," or "the most
haunted prison"; others, like the haunted Indian burial grounds in
West Virginia, evoke memories from the past our collective nation
tries to forget. With boundless curiosity, Dickey conjures the dead
by focusing on questions of the living-how do we, the living, deal
with stories about ghosts, and how do we inhabit and move through
spaces that have been deemed, for whatever reason, haunted? Paying
attention not only to the true facts behind a ghost story, but also
to the ways in which changes to those facts are made-and why those
changes are made-Dickey paints a version of American history left
out of the textbooks, one of things left undone, crimes left
unsolved. Spellbinding, scary, and wickedly insightful, Ghostland
discovers the past we're most afraid to speak of aloud in the
bright light of day is the same past that tends to linger in the
ghost stories we whisper in the dark.
