'A book to be absolutely devoured' Lucy Holland, author of
Sistersong Off the coast of Ireland sits a legendary island hidden
by magic. A place of ruins and ancient trees, sea-salt air and
fairy lore, Hy-Brasil is the only home Biddy has ever known. Washed
up on its shore as a baby, Biddy lives a quiet life with her
guardian, the mercurial magician Rowan. A life she finds
increasingly stifling. One night, Rowan fails to return from his
mysterious travels. To find him, Biddy must venture into the
outside world for the first time. But Rowan has powerful
enemies-forces who have hoarded the world's magic and have set
their sights on the magician's many secrets. Biddy may be the key
to stopping them. Yet the closer she gets to answers, the more she
questions everything she's ever believed about Rowan, her past, and
the nature of magic itself. A WORLD OF WONDER AND MIRACLES UNFURLS

Learn the basics of how to read secret signs and symbols to provide
insight, inspiration, and direction about the future. This
accessible and beautifully designed guide includes a frameable
poster featuring popular methods of divination. Divination is the
art of extracting hidden meaning from the present by using
supernatural tools, or oracles, as guidance for the future. Some
ancient divinatory methods may seem primitive now, such as shamans
in antiquity observing animal entrails, while some methods have
remained popular throughout the ages. Diviners today still use
methods that draw on the environment, including reading runes or
cards, floromancy (reading flowers), and even conchomancy (reading
seashells). Our questions might differ from our ancestors', but we
still harbor the same basic needs and keen desire to know,
understand, and improve the future. To help you see and change it
for the better, learn: what tools you need for each method tips to
enhance any reading how best to phrase questions for the oracle
systems of interpretation how to present information in a tactful,
compassionate, empowering way and more There's something here for

An exploration of the traditional rites of auspicious building and
crafting * Explains the ceremonial beginnings and Hermetic
principles in the laying out of foundations not only for sacred
buildings like temples but also for homes and barns * Examines the
principles and ceremonies of electional astrology and details how
to compute natural time, as opposed to clock time * Shares examples
from ancient Egypt, Iran, India, and Europe that range from the
Stone Age to the Renaissance and include secret societies When we
make things--whether a building, a sacred space, or a magical
object--there is a precise moment when the artifact comes into
being as a separate entity. That moment in time possesses its own
unique quality, and because of this, there is a right time to do
something and a wrong time. And, as Nigel Pennick reveals, we have
the power to select favorable moments for our creations, just as
our ancestors did. Illustrating ancient principles of divination,
chronomancy, and electional astrology, Pennick examines all the
factors behind the ancestral art of geomancy: the auspicious
creation and alignment of sacred buildings as places of power.
Sharing examples from ancient Egypt, Iran, India, and Europe that
range from the Stone Age to the modern day, including secret
societies like the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons, he explains how
many cities were constructed on specially selected sites and
founded ritually at precise, predetermined moments. Looking at the
traditional rites of creating places of power, Pennick explains the
ceremonial beginnings and Hermetic principles in the laying out of
foundations as well as the use of sacrifice in the building of many
notable structures. Examining the role of sacred geometry in
geomancy, Pennick explains the Hermetic meaning assigned to each
direction in traditional European cultures as well as the
principles of natural measures and the science of understanding
lucky and unlucky days. Revealing how geomantic principles are
rooted in the structure of the world and the cosmic patterns of
space and time, the author shows how they transcend the ages and
are just as meaningful today as they were to our ancestors.

In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's
leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the
shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and
culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed,
and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe
illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy
during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how
alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity,
touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater,
and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject
of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the
reader to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos
and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the
third century down to the present day. Through his exploration of
alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely
guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's
secrets, and - most exciting for budding alchemists - uses them to
recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including
those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This
unique approach brings the reader closer to the actual work of
alchemy than any other book.

An entirely channeled book of messages from The Council, a group of
ascended master beings, that communicate to us that we have the
power to be the Creators of our lives. The Wisdom of the Council is
an entirely channeled book of messages by The Council, a group of
ascended master beings. Their messages are both empowering and
gentle, and guide you towards ascending to a new level of
consciousness, stepping into the greatest version of you, and
recognizing that you have the ability to create your own Heaven on
Earth-a new way of perceiving your human experience. The Council
assures us that we have the power to be the Creators of our lives.
And from the Council's perspective, it's all done already-we
already have this Creator energy within us and it's just a matter
of aligning with that frequency. The Council encourages us to
expand our consciousness and awareness so we can go beyond our
thinking mind. Only then can we expand our potential, come into
alignment with who we truly are, manifest from a place of wholeness
rather than lack, and ultimately live out our destiny.
Imprisoned in a remote Turkish POW camp during the First World War,
two British officers, Harry Jones and Cedric Hill, cunningly join
forces. To stave off boredom, Jones makes a handmade Ouija board
and holds fake seances for fellow prisoners. One day, an Ottoman
official approaches him with a query: could Jones contact the
spirits to find a vast treasure rumoured to be buried nearby?
Jones, a lawyer, and Hill, a magician, use the Ouija board - and
their keen understanding of the psychology of deception-to build a
trap for their captors that will lead them to freedom. The
Confidence Men is a nonfiction thriller featuring strategy, mortal
danger and even high farce - and chronicles a profound but unlikely
friendship.
Poet, artist, visionary and author of the unofficial English
national anthem 'Jerusalem', William Blake is an archetypal
misunderstood genius. In this radical new biography, we return to a
world of riots, revolutions and radicals, discuss movements from
the Levellers of the sixteenth century to the psychedelic
counterculture of the 1960s, and explore the latest discoveries in
neurobiology, quantum physics and comparative religion to look
afresh at Blake's life and work - and, crucially, his mind. Taking
the reader on wild detours into unfamiliar territory, John Higgs
places the bewildering eccentricities of a most singular artist
into context and shows us how Blake can help us better understand
ourselves.

The Dream of the Cosmos is the story of a multi-layered quest to
understand the causes of human suffering and to reconnect with a
deeper reality than the one we inhabit in this physical dimension
of experience. It seeks to answer the questions: "Who are we?" and
"Why are we here, on this planet?" It is offered to those who are
looking for something beyond the superficial values of our culture,
who may be disillusioned with religious and secular belief systems
as currently presented and who question political values which are
deeply mired in the pursuit of power. It is written with two
voices: one the voice of a personal quest and the other which
explores the historical and psychological causes that have brought
into being our present view of reality.
