Passengers cancelling their tickets for Titanic's maiden voyage out
of apprehension; a famous social reformer who died on Titanic,
warned in 1911 that he would be in danger from water in April 1912;
inhabitants of the remote islands of Fiji aware of the sinking
before reports of the collision reached the Pacific; a dying girl
who, on 14 April 1912, 'sees' a big ship sinking in the water and
mysteriously knows the name of the violinist in Titanic's
orchestra. These are just a few of the numerous claims to psychic
foreknowledge of the ship's sinking. Within days of the
widely-publicised disaster of 1912, stories began circulating of
extraordinary omens and individuals who supposedly had supernatural
premonitions of the disaster. Furthermore, four fictional works -
one dating as far back as twenty-six years - came to be seen as
anticipating the disaster. Between 1960 and 2006, five major
commentators published extended analyses of the alleged
premonitions, none of which is now easily accessible to an English
readership. This book examines them all in detail. The whole
treatment of the matter opens up fascinating questions concerning
the paranormal, but also raises and leaves unresolved crucial
issues specific to premonitions and how they can be legitimately
examined. Readers are left to make their own judgement on Titanic
premonitions.
DRACULA is such an iconic figure that he has inspired hundreds of
films and television programmes for over a century. He has appeared
in over 215 films and, since its publication in 1897, Dracula has
never been out of print. Most people have a very strong image of
Dracula and for many the seaside town of Whitby in North Yorkshire
is a big part of this. Indeed, many of the scenes in Dracula were
places that Bram Stoker regularly visited. Ian Thompson has had a
lifelong interest in horror films and scary stories, and Dracula is
a story that has fascinated him. As a result, he has made many
pilgrimages to Whitby. In this fascinating book, the reader is
taken around Dracula's Whitby, to the very places Bram Stoker and
his Dracula frequented. This book will inspire not only fans of
Bram stoker's literary creation, but also visitors and residents
alike.

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.
'I have stood on the dim shore beyond time and matter and seen it.
It moves through strange curves and outrageous angles. Some day I
shall travel in time and meet it face to face.' Unlike
nineteenth-century Gothic fiction, which tends to fixate on the
past, the haunted and the ghostly, early weird fiction probes the
very boundaries of reality - the laws and limits of time, space and
matter. Here, unimaginable terrors lurk in hitherto unknown mirror
dimensions, calamities in ultra-space threaten to wipe clean all
evidence of our universe and experiments in non-Euclidean geometry
lead to sickening consequences. In twelve speculative tales of our
universe's mathematics and physics gone awry, this new anthology
presents an abundance of curiosities - and terrors - with stories
from Jorge Luis Borges, Miriam Allen deFord, Frank Belknap Long and
Algernon Blackwood.
