This fully illustrated guide explores all things strange and
uncanny, paranormal and peculiar in Aberdeenshire, one of the most
scenic parts of Scotland (which also includes part of the
Cairngorms National Park). Historic sites and ancient
monuments--such as the innumerable stone circles and castles--are
surveyed in an enchanting and accessible way. Descriptions of what
to observe and explore are married with detailed "site histories"
of the supernatural and mysterious. These include locations of
witchcraft and fairy hills, eerie contemporary sculptures, and
spooky long-abandoned graveyards. There are tales of big cats and
ape-men, murders and bodysnatching, and details of modern fire
festivals (including the burning of a Wickerman). This is an
indispensable companion for anyone journeying into the marvels and
mysteries of Aberdeenshire.
Celebrity Ghosts and Notorious Hauntings looks at famous ghosts -
dead celebrities, famous generals, and noted politicians, and the
places they haunt. This fascinating frightfest examines notorious
locations such as the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and the Stanley
Hotel (which inspired Stephen King's The Shining). It investigates
movie lore, including the unsettling incidents on the Amityville
Horror set. From Elvis Presley to John Lennon, presidents John
Adams, to Harry Truman, Henry VIII to Marilyn Monroe. They all lurk
in this riveting book.
This fascinating work begins with a scientific appraisal of time
and its relationship with 3D space. It explains in clear,
understandable language, the complex theories of such famous men as
Newton, Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. Is time infinite, or does it
have a beginning and an end? Do Black Holes and White Vortices
distort time, or penetrate it? The authors also analyse and
evaluate puzzling, well documented reports of time travel and
reincarnation, and strange cases of deja vu. Can time travel
account for such anachronistic discoveries as a 20th century
sparkplug found encased among fossils half a million years old?
Finally, the authors bring all the unsolved time-related mysteries
together in a unified field theory that suggests an awesome answer
to the mysteries of time-travel and reincarnation.
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.
When did you last have a psychic experience? Are you in the
habit of seeing or sensing the presence of spirits and ghost? Have
you ever spotted a lake monster or sighted a UFO? When did you last
consult a fortune-teller, approach a medium work an Ouija board, or
read an astrology column? Have you ever had a premonition that some
odd event would occur, and then witnessed it actually occurring?
Did you ever experience a sense of "deja vu" or a moment of pure
bliss?
"Extraordinary Experiences: Personal Accounts of the Paranormal
in Canada" is a collection of over seventy short yet curiously
gripping accounts of experiences and events that may be regarded as
abnormal or paranormal. Colombo has collected highly readable
accounts of unusual experiences from the past and the present. The
supernatural practices of the Indians of the 18th and 19th
centuries are described by Samuel Hearne and Paul Kane. From the
turn of the century come accounts of "crisis apparitions,"
poltergeists, and haunted houses, as reported by spiritualists and
other observers. But the majority of the personal narratives derive
from letters sent to the editor in response to his requests
featured in daily newspapers across the country, for first-hand
accounts of the supernatural and the paranormal. Over one hundred
readers responded; here are some of there responses...
"Extraordinary Experiences" is an extraordinary reading
experience. No book quite like it has ever before appeared in
Canada. "
