The Qabalah is essentially the search for God through a system of
mathematically-related concepts. With an emphasis on how the
Qabalah actively influences the Western Mystery Tradition, this
work makes Qabalah understandable to help seekers in their quest
for ultimate identity. It covers subjects including the value of
"nothing", the purpose of the cross, the tree of life, and
pathworking.
Myths and Mysteries of Missouri dispels any notion that the Show Me
State is a boring place harboring little unknown. Thirteen diverse
chapters, each a story unto itself, probe dark secrets, unexplained
phenomena, legendary individuals and actual events which leave
people incredulous to this day. Much in this well-researched book
has been largely forgotten, but the author's lively and amusing
style will awaken curiosity in lifelong residents and armchair
visitors alike
When a workman is pushed and hissed at by something invisible on
the stairs of her family’s 150-year-old townhouse, Jeanne Stanton
must confront the possibility that a ghost inhabits. She proceeds
in the way any former Harvard Business School case writer would:
she embarks upon a rigorous search for proof of the ghost’s
existence and identity, exploring the literature and lore of
ghosts; the practices of mediums, psychics, and “ghost
busters;†and the various attempts that have been made over the
decades to verify ghostly sounds and sights through scientific
methods. After visits to a psychic provide insights but not proof,
Stanton enters the equally mysterious realms of physics and
neurology, hoping science has answers. Notables encountered during
her research efforts include Henry James, Arthur Conan Doyle,
Oliver Sacks, and Sigmund Freud, the latter a colleague of her
home’s original owner. Wry and witty, Stanton takes time out to
laugh at her own futile attempts at ghost detection—spending a
sleepless night in an allegedly haunted bedroom, creeping along the
edges of rooms in search of cold spots—along the way. Determined
to get to the bottom of the ghost business, Stanton wavers between
skepticism and belief, searching for definitive evidence—and
almost failing to find it. Almost.

Follow a team of real-life ghost hunters on the trail of visitors
to the Hawkeye State from the spirit world. You say you don't
believe in ghosts? Tell it to the woman who was thrown down the
stairs by unseen hands, or the entire church congregation that
heard a ghostly voice over the PA speakers! After you read the
spine-tingling stories of real-life encounters with the uncanny,
you'll have to admit that there's something hard to explain going
on in the old mansions and graveyards of Iowa.
Old Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, is the third-largest
National Preservation District in the United States and the largest
Victorian-era neighborhood in the country. Beneath the balconies
and terraces of the district's Gothic, Queen Anne, and Beaux Arts
mansions, current residents trade riveting stories about their
historic homes. Many of these tales defy rational explanation. When
David Domine moved into one of these houses, he dismissed local
rumors of a resident poltergeist named Lucy. However, before long,
unnerving, disembodied footsteps and mysterious odors caused him to
flee his home in the middle of the night. Since that night, David
Domine not only embraced the possibility of supernatural phenomenon
but also turned it into a popular tour series and best-selling
collection of books, which have brought new attention to this
iconic neighborhood. The book that launched the guided tours,
Ghosts of Old Louisville, introduced readers to the hauntingly
beautiful Lady of the Stairs and the Widow Hoag, who waits
eternally near Fountain Court for a lost child who will never
return. These tales of things that go bump in the night not only
reveal why Old Louisville is considered the "most haunted
neighborhood in America," but also help to preserve this
historically and architecturally significant community.
Strange things happen in the woods-vanishing figures along
backcountry paths, eerie noises half-heard near urban pathways,
pungent and undefined smells blanketing forest trails. Science
falls short of explaining these phenomena... Haunted Hikes tells
the stories behind 100 spooky and sinister areas across the
country-from the Ghost House Trail in Big Ridge State Park,
Tennessee, where photographs of the cemetery yield silhouettes of
families laid to rest there, to the Transept Trail at Grand Canyon
National Park, where a wailing woman in a white dress with blue
flowers is often seen pacing the rim. This book pinpoints the
trails and reveals their unnerving histories. Within these pages
are also basic hike specifications like distance and difficulty, as
well as the trailhead GPS where applicable. The book won't take you
on a mile-by-mile journey-you're on your own for that one, if you
dare...

In El Nino Fidencio: Libro de las Sagradas Escrituras,
anthropologist Dr. Antonio "Tony" Zavaleta has painstakingly
prepared the 71 original scriptures left by Jose Fidencio Sintora
Constantino, El Nino Fidencio (1898-1938) to his followers. The
Escrituras are the scriptural teachings of El Nino when he walked
the earth and are also the basis of a core-belief system imparted
to by the Nino Fidencio known as Fidencismo. The early-era
Escrituras begin in 1925 and continue until El Nino's death in
1938. They were handwritten by his followers as they intently
listened to him speak. Since they have never been published before,
the Sagradas Escrituras represent the foundation for Fidencio's
belief system. This is the first time that they are available to be
studied by his followers and others.

'Wow! [This book] has it all - a terrific new character, devious
twists, plenty of action and one hell of an ending' JONATHAN
MABERRY, New York Times bestselling author of Ink and Rage Angels
walk among us, but so do other unearthly beings in this brand-new
series by the international bestselling author of the Anita Blake
and Merry Gentry series. Meet Detective Zaniel Havelock, a man with
the special ability to communicate directly with angels. A former
trained Angel speaker, he devoted his life to serving both the
celestial beings and his fellow humans with his gift, but a
terrible betrayal compelled him to leave that life behind. Now he's
a cop who is still working on the side of angels. But where there
are angels, there are also demons. There's no question that there's
evil at work when he's called in to examine the murder scene of a
college student - but is it just the evil that one human being can
do to another, or is it something more? When demonic possession is
a possibility, even angelic protection can only go so far. Now the
race is on to stop a killer before he finds his next victim, as
Zaniel is forced to confront his own very personal demons, and the
past he never truly left behind.
Oklahoma's ghostly legends are as varied as its history and
culture. The state boasts hauntings by ancient Native Americans,
Spanish miners, soldiers, outlaws, ranchers, performers, students,
repairmen, and many more. Oklahoma's stately mansions, theaters,
and old hotels still have previous residents dwelling in a spectral
form. One parallel that may be surprising is Oklahoma's uncanny
number of headless ghosts. Haunted Oklahoma explores King Tut's
Tomb on the Arkansas, Mr. Apple's Mausoleum and the Spooksville
Triangle to name just a few. Eerie occurrences, spooky events,
unsolved mysteries, and terrifying specters make for a scary
journey through Oklahoma's haunted past.
The mysterious and often violent history of Illinois has made the
state a haven for restless spirits. This volume explores the
supernatural side of the Prairie State, with stories on the horrors
of an old slave house, the numerous spirits of Alton's McPike
Mansion, the cemetery where the dead walk, the Spring Valley
Vampire, the ghosts of the Bartonville Asylum, Chicago's famous
Resurrection Mary, and the spirit world of Abraham Lincoln.
For many people, monsters are nothing more than myth, folklore and
legend combined. For others - and particularly those who have
encountered monstrous forms surfacing and emerging from shadowy
caves, from the dark waters of ancient lakes and from the vast
jungles and forests of our worlds - monsters are all too
terrifyingly real. Werewolves, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, the
Chupacabra, Mothman, the Abominable Snowman and sea serpents may
represent the most famous monsters, but they are not alone.
