In this engaging and lively little book, Apollo Starmule explores the relationship of human consciousness to Santa Claus and the world inhabited by this legendary being. Many parents will probably want to share this book with their children for, as Starmule explains, "I told myself when I began this document that I was going to try not to cuss, and was going to try to keep my material at a level that could be enjoyed by a general audience, for I realized that some parents would want to share this document with their kids. If you are familiar with some of my other books, you may realize what an unusual approach this is for me." Before you tell your kids the "truth" about Santa Claus, we suggest you find out exactly what that truth is and why it is true. This book gives you a stable platform on which to stand as you address matters of supreme importance to the soul of a child . . . and to your own soul.

Theosophy is an esoteric course of study that resides at the crossroads of philosophy, religion, and science. This expository work, by renowned spiritual adept Charles W. Leadbeater and first published in 1912, is a succinct, practical description of the movement, which is, at its base, a study of Truth. Leadbeater, having been thoroughly educated within a number of schools of religious thought, is a uniquely qualified guide who leads the reader through the challenging field of Theosophy, with but one goal in mind: To serve humanity by showing all students the way to be one with the divine energy of God. English clergyman turned spiritualist CHARLES WEBSTER LEADBEATER (1854-1934) was ordained as an Anglican priest, but later joined the prominent Theosophical Society and traveled to India to study alternative spiritual and occult practices, eventually settling into his life as a clairvoyant and author. His other works include Man Visible and Invisible and The Science of the Sacrament.

Annie Besant, former president of the Theosophical Society, sets out the basic principles and beliefs of Theosophy in this short book. Originally published in 1907, this edition is a facsimile reprint from a privately printed edition from 1910.

"Suddenly the thought came into my mind: 'What if this be but hallucination...' -from "The Arabian Nights in New York" The philosophical discipline of theosophy enjoyed a flowering in the late 19th century, a spiritual reaction to the materialism aggressive scientific exploration and the newly ascendant corporate culture seemed to be promoting. In 1910, Claude Bragdon published this overview of the roots of theosophy, and it remains an important document of this influential movement, key reading for anyone interested in the origins and aims of early New Age thought. Though known primarily as an architect and, later, as a stage designer, Bragdon dabbled in mysticism, and brings his well-deserved renown as a delightful, charming writer to this little volume. Other works by Bragdon available from Cosimo Classics: More Lives Than One, The Beautiful Necessity, Architecture and Democracy, and A Primer of Higher Space (The Fourth Dimension). American architect, stage designer, and writer CLAUDE FAYETTE BRAGDON (1866-1946) helped found the Rochester Architectural Club, in the city where he made his greatest mark as a building designer with structures including Rochester Central Station, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the First Universalist Church; he also designed Peterborough Bridge in Ontario. In later life, Bragdon worked on Broadway as scenic designer for 1930s productions of Cyrano de Bergerac and Hamlet, among others.
