What if there was a place in the universe, or in another universe,
where no evil forces, dark beliefs, negative thought projections,
energy blockages, or control issues were present? Is there a place
such as an intact field of light, benevolence, and love? In "The
Book of Origins, " author Ivonne Delaflor presents lessons she
received that propose a new vision of a universe, in which harmony
is seen not as something to fight for, but as a natural ebb and
flow of events through the choices we make. Throughout a period of
five years, Delaflor received more than five thousand messages
during conversations with her transpersonal masters. In this text,
she does not interpret the lessons but rather shares them in order
to help people form better relationships with their inner voices
and make sense of their spiritual experiences. A clear and readable
map for navigating the harmonic energy dimensions, "The Book of
Origins" supports humanity within the inner ascension process as we
evolve as species of consciousness in the here and now and beyond.

‘Love, Nature, Magic will blow your mind and open your heart.’
John Grogan, international bestselling author of  Marley & Me
‘Maria Rodale encourages us all to reach beyond our full
potential by diving into the depths of our existential selves.’
Diana Beresford-Kroeger, author of To Speak for the Trees In
Love, Nature, Magic, organic advocate and former CEO of a global
health and wellness company, Maria Rodale combines her love of
nature and gardening with her experience in shamanic journeying,
embarking on an epic adventure to learn from plants, animals and
insects – including some of the most misunderstood beings in
nature. Maria asks them their purpose and listens as they show and
declare what they want us humans to know. From Thistles to Snakes,
Poison Ivy to Mosquitoes, these nature beings convey messages that
are relevant to every human, showing us how to live in balance and
harmony on this Earth. Maria’s journeys include conversations
with: Mugwort • Vulture • Bat • Rabbit • Lanternfly •
Lightning Bug • Osage Orange • Deer • Paper Wasp •
Dandelion • Tick • Groundhog • Milkweed • And more! Through
journeys filled with surprises, humour and foibles, follow
Maria’s evolution from being annoyed with to accepting – and
even falling in love with – our most difficult neighbours
(including human ones). Along the way, she tells her own story of
how she learned about shamanic journeying and its near-universal
manifestation in traditional cultures worldwide. She describes what
her experiences of shamanic journeying are like – simply,
honestly and with a touch of irreverence.

When it comes to matters of the occult, Lexa Rosean is in a league
of her own. Named a 'psychic of the moment' by the New York Post,
Lexa will work her magic in two upcoming documentaries on the
subject of Wicca. Now, with this extraordinary new book, Lexa
offers a reference that only someone with her rare depth of arcane
knowledge could possibly produce. Featuring more than 600 entries,
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MAGICKAL INGREDIENTS offers spellbinding facts
about every herb, spice, flower, vegetable, fruit, metal and colour
that plays a role in the magical universe. Readers will learn why
asparagus is eaten for power, protection, prosperity and sexual
stamina; that potatoes, sacred to the moon, were the original
substance from which voodoo dolls were carved; that salt, one of
the most precious substances of the earth, is used in Wicca to
purify and create the sacred circle (and was once used to pay wages
in ancient Rome); and much, much more. Remarkably detailed and
endlessly fascinating, this book is destined to become an
indispensable addition to every occult library.
Annie grew up in a big, supportive family. She grew up happy and
confident with a strong faith in God. The darker side of the world
was never shown to her as a child, and as she grew into a bright
young woman, the darker side continued to remain hidden from her
view. When she earned a job at a nursing home, Annie felt lucky.
What a blessing to have a job that allowed her to help others on a
day to day basis
But soon, things went wrong at her new job. Suicides became
rampant among Annie s coworkers - women who had previously seemed
joyful and at peace. What could possibly cause such emotionally
stable women to take their own lives? When Annie meets her boss,
Benson, she begins to suspect he s behind it especially when she is
sexually harassed by this man who was supposed to be a guiding
force at The Lake View Hospital.
Annie soon learns of the darkness in the world. She learns that
bullying is not confined to playgrounds and schools; bullying
happens to adults, too, especially in the guise of sexual
harassment. Annie will not let Benson ruin her faith in the
goodness of people. With God s help, Annie will recover the lost
souls ruined by suicide. She will show them the light and save
herself in the process.
"The guides, when they come, should bring great feelings of love.
This is the true indication that a high guide is present; there are
few else...The guides can only come in the space between two
thoughts - in that space between the in-breath and the out-breath,
that space that is the quiet pool or reservoir of the deep wisdom
within." - IAM IAM represents the wisdom in each of us, and is a
true teacher and friend. Written from a whole-brain perspective,
The Space Between Two Thoughts is profound and accessible to
individuals of all faiths and paths. With humor and compassion,
this text weaves over 70 healing transmissions with commentary,
dialogue, and easy to use Armchair Enlightenment exercises,
demonstrating that the spiritual and material planes are not
separate. What people are saying about IAM: "IAM's advice and
exercises have been very useful for my personal growth and mental
well-being." "IAM has made me realize that there truly is a higher
power, and it cares very much about every aspect of our lives, no
matter how small." "IAM tells us things about ourselves that are
really helpful and transformative in a way that no one else would
know. It gives us the clues or guideposts to help us transform and
evolve." A realization that I gained from IAM was the importance of
each person, each animal, every plant, every action, every moment.
We are all interconnected."
This is a true story with no embellishments whatsoever about a
woman coming out of the Occult and its bondages into the immense
glory of a Risen, Resurrected Lord. She had been involved in
astrology and could easily make selection of what your Zodiac
(Divining Angel) is by a mere short conversation. When coming to
the Lord Jesus Christ, Anna believed her life would be so very
quiet and simple, until one day after much darkness physically
overpowered her, the Holy Spirit spoke: The Powers of Darkness have
arrayed themselves in battle against you." Anna was in for the time
of her life and God's Holy Spirit teaches her how to war in and for
His Kingdom. Take this journey with Anna as the difference between
True and Truth are defined throughout these pages. The 'Two Bibles'
are clearly demonstrated to reveal what is 'Divining Lies against
Diving Truth'.
Ren Gunon (1886-1951) was one of the great luminaries of the
twentieth century, whose critique of the modern world has stood
fast against the shifting sands of intellectual fashion. His
extensive writings, now finally available in English, are a
providential treasure-trove for the modern seeker: while pointing
ceaselessly to the perennial wisdom found in past cultures ranging
from the Shamanistic to the Indian and Chinese, the Hellenic and
Judaic, the Christian and Islamic, and including also Alchemy,
Hermeticism, and other esoteric currents, they direct the reader
also to the deepest level of religious praxis, emphasizing the need
for affiliation with a revealed tradition even while acknowledging
the final identity of all spiritual paths as they approach the
summit of spiritual realization. Studies in Freemasonry and the
Compagnonnage is both an attempt to rediscover the lost roots of
Masonry and a fascinating look into the many controversies swirling
around the subject of Masonry in serious intellectual circles
during the first half of the twentieth century. It must also be
classed, along with Symbols of Sacred Science, Spiritual Authority
and Temporal Power, Traditional Forms and Cosmic Cycles, The
Esoterism of Dante, Insights into Christian Esoterism and Insights
into Islamic Esoterism and Taoism-not to mention related sections
in many of his other books-as one of Ren Gunon's masterful
excursions into esoteric myth, symbolism, and secret history.
Freemasonry may indeed be, as Gunon ultimately concluded, a largely
degenerated and thus no longer strictly 'operative' offshoot of a
true initiatory lineage; yet its symbolism, like that of the
original Rosicrucians, remains profound, traditional, and therefore
ultimately legitimate. And given that the 'Spirit bloweth where it
listeth', it is always possible that symbolism of this order may
awaken in a receptive soul intimations of the Truth and the Way,
which can be of inestimable of value in 'the path to the Path', the
quest for a living initiatory spirituality.

In The Discovery of Witches, Matthew Hopkins - the Witch Finder
General of England during the early 1600s - details the process by
which he found and captured suspected witches. Hopkins' treatise is
comprised of answers to various queries he had received by members
of the public curious about his investigatory techniques in finding
witches. This book answers a total of fourteen queries, with
replies ranging from a few sentences to a few paragraphs in length.
The book is an illustrative portrayal of a society fervently given
to superstitions about the powers of witchcraft. At three hundred
women killed, the efforts of Hopkins and his assistant John Stearne
were prolific. Accorded status, Hopkins encountered opposition to
his witch finding. That his 'investigations' required scant
evidence to secure death sentences dismayed figures in the Church
of England. Today, historians judge Hopkins as an opportunist who
took advantage of unfounded suspicions to advance his own fame.
Of all the Living Traditions, Obeah has remained the most elusive.
Whilst Vodou and Santeria have had both academic and occult
treatment in tomes widely available to the seeker, Obeah has stayed
uncompromisingly rooted as a sorcerous tradition veiled in
obscurity. In OBEAH: A SORCEROUS OSSUARY, Nicholaj de Mattos
Frisvold teases open this Caribbean mystery and reveals a crooked
path into the hidden world of Papa Bones and Sasabonsam with a
short monograph concerning the history of this incoherent cult and
the ways in which power is bestowed upon and wielded by the
Obeahman. The text includes the Kabalistic Banquette of Lemegeton,
the Hypostasis of Abysina Clarissa and the Green Beasts, a
Kabalistic Mass for Anima Sola Mayanet, a Call to Papa Bones, a
Call to Spirit Guides, a Call to Anima Sola Abysina Clarissa, the
Missale Ezekiel Sasabonson or the Conjuration of the Shadow-Self,
and the Ritual Reptilica de Anansi, and offers insights into the
Obeahman's special relationship with the spirits of wood, water,
and bone.
