Shamanism has always been of great interest to anthropologists.
More recently it has been "discovered" by westerners, especially
New Age followers. This book breaks new ground byexamining pristine
shamanism in Greenland, among people contacted late by Western
missionaries and settlers. On the basis of material only available
in Danish, and presented herein English for the first time, the
author questions Mircea Eliade's well-known definition of the
shaman as the master of ecstasy and suggests that his role has to
be seen as that of a master of spirits. The ambivalent nature of
the shaman and the spirit world in the tough Arctic environment is
then contrasted with the more benign attitude to shamanism in the
New Age movement. After presenting descriptions of their
organizations and accounts by participants, the author critically
analyses the role of neo-shamanic courses and concludes that it is
doubtful to consider what isoffered as shamanism.
Twenty-five years ago, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and her friends began
sharing messages from a group entity that called themselves
"Michael." Michael's words were offered without alteration or
interpretation for seekers, students, and skeptics alike.
Pragmatic, insightful, and often witty, Michael insisted their work
was simply to help questioners become more aware and better able to
make their own decisions in life. Through this initial volume,
Messages From Michael, and three more that followed, Michael spoke
to thousands who found new understandings of themselves.
Unfortunately imitators and frauds have since exploited the Michael
teachings-but even they admit that Messages From Michael was the
first source of the teachings. Here, expanded for the twenty-first
century, is the long-awaited new edition of this groundbreaking
book.
Antoine Fabre d'Olivet (December 8, 1767-March 25, 1825) was a
French author, poet, and composer whose biblical and philosophical
hermeneutics in?uenced many occultists, such as Eliphas Lvi and
Gerard Encausse (Papus), and Ren Gunon. D'Olivet spent his life
pursuing the esoteric wisdom concealed in the Hebrew scriptures,
Greek philosophy, and the symbolism of many ancient cultures as far
back as ancient India, Persia, and Egypt. His writings are
considered classics of the Hermetic tradition. His best known works
today are his research on the Hebrew language (The Hebraic Tongue
Restored), his translation and interpretation of the writings of
Pythagoras (The Golden Verses of Pythagoras), and his writings on
the sacred art of music. In addition to the above two books and the
present one, Hermetica has also published in consistent facsimile
format for its Collected Works of Fabre d'Olivet series Cain and
The Healing of Rodolphe Grivel. D'Olivet's interest in Pythagoras
started a revival of Neo-Pythagoreanism that would later in?uence
many occultists and new age esotericists. His mastery of many
ancient languages and their literatures enabled him to write (in
the time of Napoleon) his Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Origin
of the Social State of Man and the Destiny of the Adamic Race,
which remains a landmark investigation of the deeper esoteric
undercurrents at work in the history of culture. A selection of

In Aliens and Angels II: The Beginning of the Seven Seals,
author Edward A. Marrero Laureano brings forgotten history into
view while illuminating the truth. Laureano-a visionary, space and
time traveler, and dreamer-discusses his journeys into the past in
order to correct history, to explain what really happened, and to
clarify why people change history for their benefit.
He investigates and exposes the secrets and mysteries that have
shrouded history since the beginning of the world, and he reveals
subjects that will transform the way humans perceive the universe.
Aliens and Angels sheds insights into an array of mysteries: Who is
the mysterious woman in the Mona Lisa painting? Where is the exact
location of Atlantis? What is the truth about Jesus Christ in the
Bible, hidden in plain sight? What is the origin and mechanics of
UFOs?
Aliens and Angels takes an extraordinary journey through space
and time, the past and the future, as Laureano reveals his
prophesies and revelations.
"Heal yourself and in doing so you will heal others. Feel their
pain; don't judge. Offer love and compassion; give of yourself, as
that is when you receive the most for yourself and your dreams"
"DIAL LOVE: God's Planetary Guide for Attaining Happiness
through Spiritual Fulfillment" is a collection of channeled work,
with each channeling conveying a message, one paragraph at a
time.
In 2006, something out of the ordinary occurred. Author Donna
Lynn was preparing for a spiritual workshop when she began to hear
a comforting, gentle, and loving voice. "Heal yourself, and in
doing so you will heal others. Feel their pain; don't judge. Offer
love and compassion; give of yourself, as that is when you receive
the most for yourself and your dreams."
During the following four months, for sixteen consecutive
Wednesdays, Donna continued to receive messages of truth. "Dial
Love" is her endeavor to share those messages with you.
"Dial Love" provides simple truths about divinity and
spirituality. May you find an enlightened approach to the
fulfillment of your life's purpose. You are the miracle that is
waiting to happen. Now is the time to reset your frequency and
"Dial Love."
Xpiritual is a book on a pagan controversy of our days. Disguised
as the craze for "spiritual secrets" what we see today is the
revival of an age-old polemic: living with the hidden versus the
need to seize what is hidden. Surreptitious as the glance of Lot's
wife, the search for secrets is the denial of the hidden and the
emotional territory of the subliminal and privilege. Equating
sacred and the search for] secrets as antonyms, Rabbi Bonder
exposes forms of fetishism and idolatry in the mind-set of
consumerism and individualism. This neo-spirituality is portrayed
as pornographic in essence given it is based on the abuse of image
and self-absortion. Paganism is the attitude of affirming
self-value by means of anthropocentric strategies that always rely
either on rationalism or the esoteric. The former is manifest by
indulging in self-justification and self-validation and the latter
on subliminal ego messages infiltrated in the realm of the sacred.
Xpiritual is the presentation of simple and age-old wisdom with a
renewed inspiration for the spiritual quest of our time.
