How do we know for certain whether there is a Spirit World? What proof is there? Who has the answers to this illusive mysterious concept that evades the best minds there are? To begin with, no-one has come back physically to give us proof that there is this world beyond the material world. The only person documented was Jesus Christ, over two thousand years ago, as the story goes, and nobody since has been quoted as being authentic, we are made to believe. So why is this, when we talk about life after death? In reality, it is not possible for the physical body to survive and return as it was previously. Once the material body disintegrates, there is no way it can return. So where does that leave us? Precisely in a dilemma, wondering. To begin with, people get mixed up with the body and the spirit. That is the real item that continues after death and nothing else. This spirit has many names to describe this essence, which in reality is the thought world and this is how we can contact this thought, by a medium who acts as a mediator between the person sending the information via the medium to those waiting for the proof, so that they can be identified. This information was passed on to me by my spiritual guide.

Ingrid Way has practised Earth Magic or White Witchcraft for many years, and has been initiated into many traditions of the craft, particularly Wicca and Earth Magic. Ingrid and her former partner Kevin Carlyon formed the Covenant of Earth Magic in the 1980s, which based it philosophies and practise on the worship and respect for the universal forces of nature. This book is the result of many years practical experience, some may find it contradictory in the sense that it is entitled "Earth Magic for the Solitary Practitioner", yet the book is loosely based on Pagan and Wiccan theory. It is written with the Solitary Pagan in mind, therefore does not include a lot of group or Coven workings.

African shamanism teaches that nature is magical, and magic is natural. After being rescued from a life-threatening encounter with lions in the Timbavati game region by a sangoma known as the 'Lion Queen', Linda Tucker embarks on a journey into the mysteries of the most sacred animal on the African continent: the legendary White Lion. It is a mystical journey into the knowledge and ceremonies of Old Africa, in which humans and lions are able to cross the species barrier - in accordance with the most guarded secrets of Ancient Egypt and humankind's greatest riddle, the sphinx. It is also a real living journey. Scientists in our day have established that humankind's most significant evolutionary leap occurred as a result of our ancestors' interaction with great cats. The White Lion is a generic rarity of Panthera leo, and occurred in one region only on earth: Timbavati. Today White Lions form the centre of the notorious 'canned' trophy hunting industry - hand reared captive lions, shot in enclosures for gross money. By contrast, shamans believe that killing a lion-sun god is the ultimate sacrilege. How the human species treats such precious symbols of God in nature may determine how nature treats the human species.

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.
