and esoteric mysteries in early 20th century Britain.
Life. Death. What it means to be human. Be amazed and inspired by
answers to some of the biggest questions you could ever ask...Do we
live forever? What?s it like on the "other side"? Can we
communicate with the deceased? Do "Gods" really exist? Who are the
Ascended Masters? Have guides changed the course of history? Could
a guardian angel save your life? Richard Lawrence explains, with
captivating frankness and authority, what communicating with the
departed is really like ? and how the message of those beyond this
plane of existence is relevant to every single one of us. Unlike
many psychics, Richard wasn?t born with a "gift" ? he began to
develop his abilities through practising the techniques of his own
spiritual teacher, Dr George King, over 25 years ago. Described by
Spirit & Destiny as "a world-renowned teacher of psychic
development and meditation...with a balanced and responsible
spiritual approach, combined with enthusiasm and a sense of
humour", he is well known as a popular broadcaster, writer, speaker
and workshop presenter. His remarkable accounts of a kaleidoscopic
array of personal psychic experiences, from channelling poetry to
performing exorcisms, are sure to fascinate any seeker who wants to
know more about the little-understood adventures which await us all
in our journey through spiritual evolution.
The spirituality of a fey person may be quite anarchic and entirely
private, having no basis in any organised religion. So it can be a
secret spirituality that informs the fey type and this may be
largely experiential. It has often been perceived as a threat by
people who like ideas to be tied down and under control, and by the
organisations that such people have created. Meanwhile, in much of
today's world, fey people have been thoroughly marginalized. In
this book, Rae Beth suggests ways in which we might understand
Otherworldly realities without abandoning commonsense. Drawing upon
her knowledge of traditional faerie lore, she shows how fey
perceptions and psychic skills can serve and enhance life.
ROCKET SCIENTIST KILLED IN PASADENA EXPLOSION screamed the headline
of the Los Angeles Times. John Parsons, a maverick rocketeer who
helped transform the rocket from a derided sci-fi plotline into a
reality, was at first mourned as a scientific prodigy. But
reporters soon uncovered a more shocking story: Parsons had been a
devotee of black magic.
George Pendle re-creates the world of John Parsons in this dazzling
portrait of prewar superstition, cold war paranoia, and futuristic
possibility. Fueled by childhood dreams of space flight, Parsons
was a leader of the motley band of enthusiastic young men who
founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a cornerstone of the
American space program. But Parsons's wild imagination also led him
into the occult- for if he could make rocketry a reality, why not
magic?
With a cast of characters including Howard Hughes,
L. Ron Hubbard, and Robert Heinlein, Strange Angel explores the
unruly consequences of genius.

Mona Chollet's In Defense of Witches is a “brilliant, well-documented” celebration (Le Monde) by an acclaimed French feminist of the witch as a symbol of female rebellion and independence in the face of misogyny and persecution.
Centuries after the infamous witch hunts that swept through Europe and America, witches continue to hold a unique fascination for many: as fairy tale villains, practitioners of pagan religion, as well as feminist icons. Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed?
Celebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society’s seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions.
With fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, In Defense of Witches seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms.
