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.

Prepare to visit a Kent you've never seen before, phantom ships, haunted castles, alien abductions and unwelcome spirit house guests, its all in Unexplained Kent, intriguing contributions unearthed by reporters from ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. Whether or not it's out there, truth is stranger than fiction, as this fascinating collection of eerie experiences will show. What is truth? It's what you believe in and all the people who have offered their stories believe what they saw, what they encountered. Many of the cases have been drawn from the files of "Kent Messenger Group" newspapers. Indeed, several are reprinted from "The X Files series" published in "The Kent Messenger". But there are also new, intriguing contributions unearthed by reporters from ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. Such as: The former policeman who dabbed with a ouija board and attracted spirited, but unwelcome, guests into his house; the hard-nosed investigative journalist who was astounded when he suddenly recalled being a charioteer in ancient Rome; and, the devoted wife who says her dead husband plays chess in the lounge to show he is still around. As the cornerstone of England, steeped in history and legend, Kent can boast its far share of tales about phantom ships and haunted castles. They are part of the fabric of the county, the kind of stuff eagerly digested by the thousands of visitors who meander through its leafy lanes. But no tourist guide we have ever seen includes reports of abductions by aliens. And yet, in Greenhithe and the Sevenoaks area, it would seem, such things may go on. So, settle back, open your mind and prepare to visit a Kent you've never seen before. Oh, and keep the lights on...

"Real... Relevant... Revolutionary
This book is a spiritual survival tool for all born again Christians " (Dennis Kerr, Pastor, Covenant City Church, Jamaica, W.I.)
The wisdom to be gleaned from this book will save your lives - pure and simple. We have been seeing the impact of Satan's activities on the earth but we have yet to understand the why?
If I were a Demon shows us that nothing just happens by accident. There is a lucid and hellish plan set out and kept in motion throughout the earth, running counter to God's plans and purposes for mankind.
Dedicated To All Christian Leaders, Ministers and Theologians Who Are Presently Afraid To Confront The Reality of Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance.
The fact that Satan has been displaced from heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15, Ezekiel 28:11-19, Luke 10:18) and now has free access on the earth implies that he is on a desperate and deliberate destruction - mission that is fueled by an eternal vendetta against Almighty God.
As the earth experiences the fury of a "fallen star," its inhabitants are being buffeted on every side, enticed with deceptive temptations and bombarded by evil thoughts and destructive desires, producing an increasingly perverse generation and a morally depraved world.
As long as we are spiritually malnourished morally porous (or holey ... not holy) and lacking in integrity, then we have effectively disqualified ourselves from ever hoping to become victorious in our battle against the destructive powers of darkness.
Isn't it about time that the people who know their God should take hold of their spiritual authority in Jesus' name, confront that old dragon, expose his devices, crush the head of every serpent and scorpion, and militantly demolish his kingdom?
I believe it is high time for this comprehensive attack ... and won't you also join me (a little later on in time) in that long-awaited victory march?
I'm on the winning side. What about you?

Using occultism to understand the paranormal sounds like diluting water or burying earth, but in this thoughtful and unusual book Duncan Barford draws on a deep familiarity with modern magick to provide a valuable toolbox of concepts for exploring the relationship between consciousness and the paranormal. Writing in an accessible and humorous style, Barford examines intriguing first-hand accounts of poltergeists, telepathy, communication with the dead, religious phenomena and astral projection. The essence of his unique exploration is that the paranormal does not happen only to special people and on rare occasions. In fact, to experience the paranormal we need simply turn our attention to the nature of our consciousness itself.

For centuries, the mountains of western North Carolina have inspired wonder and awe. It was only natural that man, after gazing at such scenic wonders, would turn some of the mystery he felt into legend. Sometimes these legends attempted to explain natural phenomena, sometimes they attempted to explain an occurrence that appeared to be supernatural, and sometimes they grew up around the eccentric characters that were drawn to the isolation of these mysterious hills. This collection of eighteen stories presents some of the mystery and awe that the mountains convey, and it may alter your perception of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains forever. You may never stand atop Roan Mountain during a storm without thinking you hear a ghostly choir. You may gaze at the top of Chimney Rock during a hazy summer afternoon and wonder if it really is a ghostly cavalry fight you see. If you spend the night near High Hampton, you may find yourself listening for the call of the lonesome white owl. If you stand at Wiseman's View, you will probably think that you, too, can see the Brown Mountain Lights. Standing atop Clingman's Dome, you may wonder if there really is an enchanted lake where animals flock to heal their wounds somewhere in the valley below. And you will always wonder if the fly you hear on your mountain walk means that Spearfinger is lurking nearby. For several years, folklorists Randy Russell and Janet Barnett have taught a course about Southern folklore at the North Carolina Center for Advancement of Teaching in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Russell is also the author of several mysteries, including Edgar Award nominee Hot Wire. They live in Asheville, North Carolina.

Tonight, across America, countless people will embark on an adventure. They will prowl among overgrown headstones in forgotten graveyards, stalk through darkened woods and wildlands, and creep down the crumbling corridors of abandoned buildings. They have set forth in search of a profound paranormal experience and may seem to achieve just that. They are part of the growing cultural phenomenon called legend tripping. In If You Should Go at Midnight: Legends and Legend Tripping in America, author Jeffrey S. Debies-Carl guides readers through an exploration of legend tripping, drawing on years of scholarship, documentary accounts, and his own extensive fieldwork. Poring over old reports and legends, sleeping in haunted inns, and trekking through wilderness full of cannibal mutants and strange beasts, Debies-Carl provides an in-depth analysis of this practice that has long fascinated scholars yet remains a mystery to many observers. Debies-Carl argues that legend trips are important social practices. Unlike traditional rites of passage, they reflect the modern world, revealing both its problems and its virtues. In society as well as in legend tripping, there is ambiguity, conflict, crisis of meaning, and the substitution of debate for social consensus. Conversely, both emphasize individual agency and values, even in spiritual matters. While people still need meaningful and transformative experiences, authoritative, traditional institutions are less capable of providing them. Instead, legend trippers voluntarily search for individually meaningful experiences and actively participate in shaping and interpreting those experiences for themselves.

Drawing from social theory and the anthropology of religion, this book explores popular media’s fascination with dreams, vampires, demons, ghosts and spirits. Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts does so in the light of contemporary animist studies of societies in which other-than-human persons are not merely a source of entertainment, but a lived social reality. Films and television programs explored include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Twin Peaks, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Truly Madly Deeply and the films of Hitchcock. Louise Child draws attention to how they both depict and challenge ideas and practices rooted in psychology, while quality television has also facilitated a wave of programming that can explore the interaction of characters in complex social worlds over time. In addition to drawing on theories of film from Freudian psychology and feminist theory, Dreams, Vampires and Ghosts uses approaches derived from a combination of Jungian film studies and anthropology that offer fresh insights for exploring film and television. This book draws attention to explicit and subtle ways in which cinematic narratives engage with myth and religion while at the same time exploring collective dimensions to social and personal life. It advances new developments in genre studies and gender as well as contributing to the growing field of implicit religion using in-depth analyses of communicative dreaming, the shadow, and mystical lovers in film and television.

The root of the word science is knowledge; the root of the word magic is wisdom. Serena blends these two spheres of human experience and shows how the latest scientific research and parapsychological study interact. The quantum view of matter is overturning the traditional world-view and the fantastic discoveries being made bring new insights ito the connections between all forms of magic and science. We share the exciting results of her research on the scientific validation of psychic phenomena. Drawing on her ground-breaking work on the pineal gland - something called the third eye - and the phenomenon of second sight, she shows that the greatest implication of psychic phenomena is that each of us is potentially aware of the natural magic of our earth and of everything in the universe. "Where Science and Magic Meet is a clearly written, mind-expanding and compelling exploration of reality at the mysterious boundaries between mind and matter'' Dean Radin, PhD, Senior Scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences, and author of The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds.

Paschal Beverly Randolph, an African American who carved his own eccentric path in the mid-nineteenth century from the slums of New York to the courts of Europe, performed as a spiritualist trance medium. Self-educated, he became one of the first Black American novelists and took a leading part in raising black soldiers for the Union army and educating Freedmen during the Civil War. His most enduring claim to fame is the crucial role he played in the transformation of spiritualism, a medium's passive reception of messages from the spirits of the dead, into occultism, the active search for personal spiritual realization and inner vision. From his solitary travels in England, France, Egypt and the Turkish Empire, he brought back occult beliefs and practices (the magic mirror, hashish use and sexual magic) that worked a revolution. The systems of magic he taught left their traces on Madame Blavatsky, her Theosophical Society, and many practicing occult organizations in Europe and America today. This is the first scholarly work on Randolph, and it includes the full text of his two most important manuscripts on sexual magic.
