John Aiken and his wife Louise, both M.D.'s by profession, have a
significant place in the psychedelic chronicles, but their story
has been poorly documented. After both sons died by drowning in
separate accidents, they retired to New Mexico for spiritual
research, with and without psychedelics. Art Kleps, author of The
Boo Hoo Bible, has credited their Church Of Awakening as being the
very first non-Native American psychedelic church to be registered
in the U.S. in 1963, predating both Klep's and Tim Leary's
Millbrookers by a couple of years. Aiken's 1966 Explorations in
Awareness, draws on a vast array of ancient and modern sources,
presenting an esoteric doctrine of self-realization and ultimate
transcendence, told in a pure, stripped-down style that displays
self-confidence. It is a delight to read because it was a new
psychedelic path with vedic-yogic along with Christian and Native
American influences, and not a rehashed insight of Hippy "trips."
The book includes trip reports, including one from an Indian guru,
who does a respect-worthy attempt to interpret the
cosmologic-metaphysic experiences of an acid trip into plain
English. Aiken's early discussion of LSD vibe is very different
from what followed during the Hippy years, and deserves much
greater recognition than received. Aiken's approach to
enlightenment is rooted in meditating while using
psychedelics--peyote, magic mushrooms. This derivative of Aiken's
classic Work picks up where Aiken and his wife left off back in the
late Sixties--fifty years ago. While Aiken discusses meditation, he
doesn't provide specific techniques for doing so and how to get
over resistance and other side-tracks. Meditation had just been
introduced to Americans by The Beatles in "We All Live in a Yellow
Submarine" and other pop songs that captured psychic explorers'
imagination. In this derivative, author Beverly Potter (Docpotter)
will add specific how-to instructions, with illustrations, on how
to meditate effectively, including how to "sit," how to defeat "the
Money Mind," and how to handle other challenges psychonauts meet
along the path to enlightenment. The volume will include a foreword
by Michale Marinacci, author of California Jesus and Weird
California, about the significance of The Church of the Awakening
among the early non-Native American psychedelic churches. A second
foreword by Dr. Carl Ruck, Professor of Classics at Boston
University and author of Mushrooms of the Goddess and Entheogens,
Myth, and Human Consciousness will address mystic
self-transcendence ecstatic visions achieved with psychedelic
meditation and answer the question: can psychedelics lead to God--a
question Aiken posed in a 1966 article in Fate Magazine.

This unprecedented volume contains powerful invocations that can be

The mysteries of the tarot and the legend of dragons come together
in this stunning box set, including a full tarot deck and 64-page
guidebook. Majestic in its power, the dragon in Western culture
appears in myth and legend as the jealous guardian of a treasure
hoard - epitomized by J.R.R. Tolkien's Smaug, and seen more
recently in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and George R.R.
Martin's Game of Thrones series. But that is not the whole story -
dragons are complex creatures, and the beast is usually credited
with cunning and often the power of speech - it is not just a
brutal, terrifying monster. Although occasionally hostile, as when
an earth dragon stirs and human cities crumble, there is no
personal malice. Dragons simply operate by different laws that do
not always place our interest at their centre. Understanding those
laws and adapting to accommodate them is one path to wisdom. This
is the spirit in which dragons inspire this tarot - tarot also
operates by laws that are slightly beyond our conscious grasp,
lifting the veil on the spiritual undercurrent of the worlds we
inhabit. This traditional 78-card deck contains fire-breathing
dragons, winged dragons of the air, sea serpents and earth dwellers
who will reveal to you the secrets of the past, the possibilities
of the present and all the potential of the future.
