A fast and easy six-step approach for addressing insomnia and other
sleep disorders. More than one third of adults suffer from insomnia
or some other kind of sleep disorder. Left unaddressed, lack of
sleep can lead to debilitated health, lowered resilience, and
decreased performance in all aspects of life. Restoring hope to the
sleepless, psychotherapist Philip Carr-Gomm reveals how we each
have the ability to unlock better sleep naturally. Combining his
knowledge of sleep science and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
with techniques drawn from spiritual traditions and insights from
the emerging field of psychedelic therapy, Carr-Gomm presents a
fast and easy-to-follow six-step program to help you sleep better.
He explores a multitude of approaches to sleep, as well as sleep
difficulties and how to overcome them. He looks at the potential of
psychedelic-assisted therapy and microdosing, applying elements of
the psychedelic therapy model as a way of optimising the conditions
for sleep. He recommends thirteen natural ways we can drift into a
deep and restorative sleep, including hypnotherapy, Yoga Nidra,
sophrology, progressive muscle relaxation, and white, pink, and
grey noise, and provides scripts for five of these techniques. His
successful sleep clinic provides online support in the form of
short videos and audio meditations as well as exercises. Helping
you get a better night’s sleep, this concise and simple guide
shows you how to benefit from everything the night offers to body
and soul.
The Druid Animal Oracle is designed to give you a hands-on, immediate and practical experience of the power of Celtic and Druidic lore.
In Celtic mythology and in the teaching of the Druids, animals are understood as sacred, and they each offer a special kind of gift to us: of healing, of inspiration, of teaching, of power. Here in this Oracle we have taken 33 of the most sacred animals of the Celtic and Druid tradition, and have interpreted their gifts for the modern reader, so that even in this busy and stressful modern world we can be helped and guided with this ancient lore.
The authors have included as well the stories, folklore and myths associated with each animal, and practical suggestions for how you can work with the animals and the oracle to transform your life. Bill Worthington has produced the most stunning pictures of each of the animals, drawn with incredible detail and precision, using sacred geometry, and has also created the silver artwork that adorns the divination cloth included with each oracle.

Of all the countries in the world, England has the richest history
of magical lore and practice. English authors such as
J.R.R.Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Terry Pratchett, and J.K.Rowling,
dominate the world of magic in fiction, but from the earliest
times, England has also acted as home to generations of eccentrics
and scholars who have researched and explored every conceivable
kind of occult art. Most people are torn between a fascination with
magic and an almost instinctive fear of the occult, of a world
redolent with superstition and illusion. And yet more people now
practice magic in England than at any time in her history. The Book
of English Magic explores this hidden story, from its first
stirrings to our present-day fascination with all things magical.
Along the way readers are offered a rich menu of magical things to
do and places to visit.
You are holding a source of great power and influence - the wisdom

tradition. The Druids, like the Native Americans, revered animals
as sacred guides, guardians and protectors. Today, the book and
beautiful card set of The Druid Animal Oracle can bring healing and
will help you draw strength from its intuitive knowledge. From the
interpretations of the card spreads and the animal lore given, you
will gain powerful insights into your life-situation and receive
positive guidance for the future. Authors Philip and Stephanie
Carr-Gomm, who live in England, are Chief and Scribe of the Order
of Bards, Ovates, and Druids, one of the largest international
Druid groups.
A classic oracle deck that brings to life the magical world of
Druid animals. The Druids revered animals as sacred guides,
guardians, and protectors. This beautifully illustrated deck and
accompanying book draws from the wellspring of ancient Celtic
tradition, bring healing and offering intuitive knowledge. From the
interpretations of the card spreads and the lore given, one will
gain powerful insights and receive positive guidance for the
future. The cards have been drawn using the principles of sacred
geometry, a science of great importance to the megalith building,
pre-Celtic Druids, who employed it extensively in the building of
stone circles. Each image incorporates the same use of a pentagram,
circle and square. The border of the animal cards conveys a message
in Ogham - the tree language of the Druids. The animals are
presented in a sequence starting with the Blackbird, who stands at
the Gateway, the Place of Beginnings, calling us to adventure and
change. Journeying to the four other Oldest Animals of Stag, Owl,
Eagle, and Salmon, we come to know animals that lead us deeper into
the Otherworld, through a cycle of personal change that leads to
turning to the outer world again, the empowerment of the four
dragons and the concluding care of the Seal - the card of love and
the necessity for choice in a world that is both joyous and
challenging. The companion book presents a summary of the Druid,
Celtic and native teachings, concerning twenty-nine animals and
four dragons. In addition, there are three blanks cards that can be
used to draw animals that are personal to the reader. Use the cards
as totems or to the oracle system provided by the authors. In
either case, these Druid animals can provide positive guidance and
insights into the inner dynamics behind events in our lives.

'The Book of English Magic' explores this hidden story, from its
first stirrings to our present-day fascination with all things
magical. Along the way readers are offered a rich menu of magical
things to do and places to visit.
Druidism evolved out of the tribal cultures of Britain, Ireland and
western France over two thousand years ago. In the seventeenth
century it experienced a revival, which has continued to this day.
Contemporary Druids can now be found all over the world, and
Druidry's appeal lies in its focus on a reverence for the natural
world, a belief in the value of personal creativity and of
developing a sense of communion with the powers of nature and the
spirit. Druidry's startling recent growth lies in its broad appeal:
some treat it as a philosophy, others as a religion, still others
as a path of self-development. Druids can be Pagan, or can be
followers of other faiths, and a Druid ceremony might include
Christian and Buddhist Druids alongside Pagan and Wiccan Druids.
Philip Carr-Gomm explains the practical value of following Druidism
today, and examines its core beliefs and relevance to the
contemporary issues that face us all.
At a time when we seek a closer connection with the natural world,
this beautiful deck invites us to celebrate the earth and the
rhythm of her seasons. Combining the two fundamental spiritualities
of Nature - Wicca and Druidry - Philip and Stephanie Carr-Gomm,
together with artist Will Worthington, have created a tarot of
extraordinary depth and relevance to help guide and illuminate your
life. The powerful images have emerged from a vast store of
teachings and story-telling rooted in our ancient past. Use them as
gateways to your inner spiritual world, and deepen your knowledge
of yourself and of the earth. Let the natural wisdom of DruidCraft
bring you insight and inspiration for the life issues that you face
today.
As one common story goes, Adam and Eve, the first man and woman,
had no idea that there was any shame in their lack of clothes; they
were perfectly confident in their birthday suits among the animals
of the Garden of Eden. All was well until that day when they ate
from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and went scrambling for
fig leaves to cover their bodies. Since then, lucrative businesses
have arisen to provide many stylish ways to cover our nakedness,
for the naked human body now evokes powerful and often
contradictory ideas--it thrills and revolts us, signifies innocence
and sexual experience, and often marks the difference between
nature and society. In "A Brief History of Nakedness" psychologist
Philip Carr-Gomm traces our inescapable preoccupation with nudity.
Rather than studying the history of the nude in art or detailing
the ways in which the naked body has been denigrated in the media,
"A Brief History of Nakedness" reveals the ways in which religious
teachers, politicians, protesters, and cultural icons have used
nudity to enlighten or empower themselves as well as entertain us.
Among his many examples, Carr-Gomm discusses how advertisers and
the media employ images of bare skin--or even simply the word
"naked"--to garner our attention, how mystics have used nudity to
get closer to God, and how political protesters have discovered
that baring all is one of the most effective ways to gain publicity
for their cause. Carr-Gomm investigates how this use of something
as natural as nakedness actually gets under our skin and evokes
complicated and complex emotional responses. From the naked sages
of India to modern-day witches and Christian nudists, from Lady
Godiva to Lady Gaga, "A Brief History of Nakedness" surveys the
touching, sometimes tragic and often bizarre story of our
relationships with our naked bodies.
Le Druidisme et la Wicca constituent les deux grands courants de la
tradition paienne de l'Europe occidentale. Ces deux traditions
connaissent une renaissance a travers le monde entier, au moment ou
un nombre croissant de gens vont a la recherche d'une spiritualite
ancree dans l'amour de la nature et de la terre. De plus en plus
souvent, les lecteurs associent les idees des deux traditions afin
de creer leur propre pratique spirituelle. Dans ce guide realiste
et exaltant, Philip Carr-Gomm nous propose de donner a cette voie
spirituelle, un nom s'inspirant des croyances et pratiques communes
a la wicca et au druidisme: le Druidcraft. Le Druidcraft puise a la
fois chez les druides et les wiccains et dans les traditions de la
wicca et du druidisme, d'erudition, de l'art du conte, de la magie,
et des celebrations saisonnieres. Ceci dans le but d'offrir
inspiration, enseignements, rituels et techniques magiques qui
peuvent vous faciliter l'acces a vos pouvoirs innes de creativite,
d'intuition et de guerison.
