Shamanism - Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy by Mircea Eliade - RRP £14.99 GG Price £5.99

Shamanism is pre-eminently a religious phenomenon of Siberia and Central Asia, and throughout this vast area the religious life of society centres on the figure of the shaman, at once magician and medicine man, healer and miracle-worker, priset, mystic and poet.

The same phenomena and techniques occur elsewhere in Asia, in the Pacific Islands, in the Americas and among the ancient Indo-European peoples. Mircea Eliade, writing as a hirstorian of religion, synthesizes the approaches of psychology, sociiology and ethnology. He analyses the ideology of shamanism and discusses its techniques, its symbolisms and its mythologies. For Eliade shamanism is, precisely, a technique of ecstasy.

A Book of Women's Altars: How to Create Sacred Spaces for Art, Worship, Solace, Celebration
by Nancy Brady Cunningham and Denise Geddes
- GG Price £4.99

Altars are sacred spaces, corners of our universe where we may rest and connect with our spiritual center. In this beautifully written book, NAncy Brady Cunnngham offers inspiration and instruction to those who want to learn to use altars in their daily lives. Cunningham writes “The altar becomes a place where the woman can commune with both the personal and cosmic aspects of herself, where she can reclaim her power and revel in her innate beauty.”
Richly illustrated with Denise Geddes’s evocative black-and-white photographs, A Book of Women’s Altars also offers suggestions for creating altars for special occasions - the change of seasons, birth, death, blessed and everyday events. When you become aware, every corner becomes an altar!
The first part of this book explains the cultural and historical background of the altar and the reasons for creating one. Making and using an altar literally clears a path for a woman through the clutter of her world. The second part focuses on what to do with altars on special occasions. The author and photographer together have created and illustrated 16 special altars. Each has its own purpose, story and ritual.

The Shaman and the Magician: Journeys Between the Worlds by Nevill Drury - RRP £7.99 GG Price £4.99

'We require domains of mystery; we need to know where the sacred aspects of life may be found and how to understand the intuitive, infinite and profoundly meaningful visionary moments which arise in all of us at different times'.
So writes Nevill Drury in this exploration into the importance of both the traditional shaman and the contemporary mystical magician in the unfolding of human consciousness. Shamans are the healers and high priests of aboriginal cultures world-wide, and, the author argues, the spiritual order they have bequeathed is mirrored in our western mystery traditions and schools of magic, long driven underground but still with us. In the Shaman and the Magician, a follow-up to his popular earlier work Don Juan, Mescalito and Modern Magic, Drury explores the parallels between traditional shamanism and contemporary western occultism- worlds where visions are revered and integrated into the daily round instead of being rejected, as happens all to often today.

The Talisman Magick Workbook: Master Your Destiny Through the Use of Talismans by Kala Pajeon and Ketz Pajeon - GG Price £4.99

Today a talisman may be a rabbits foot, a lucky horseshoe or a four leaf clover; but a true magickal talisman can be made from many everyday items.
A talisman will enable anyone to learn how to change their present, manipulate their future and realize their most desired dreams.

The talisman magick workbook teaches the reader how to use almost anything as a talisman by giving a detailed understanding of what a talisman actually is. The reader learns to create astrological, tarot, numerological and alpha character talismans and also how to incorporate these talismans into an easily understood but powerful method of magickal manifestation.
What truly makes this book unique, however is that it demonstrates that the roots of talisman magick lie in prehistory. It shows how the magickal, religious people of prehistory used common well known (to them) symbols effectively to create potent talismans. This early method is adapted and duplicated within the book.

In this riveting book Graff shares his fascinating experiences as the director of Project STARGATE and his personal odyssey following Tracks in the Psychic Wilderness. Graff also includes a final section on how to develop your own powers of remote viewing and precognitive dreaming and how to recognise sychronicity in your life.

Spirit Maps by Joanna Arettam - List Price £16.99 GG Price £6.99

Spirit Maps brings together two simple and profound ideas to help us find our centers: -- Art inspires and transforms us, calms us down in the midst of chaos -- Chakra meditations focus our attention on the reservoirs of energy within and around us Inspired by the labyrinths painted on the sidewalk outside her studio in lower Manhattan, Joanna Arettam decided to make a book of art and meditation using the colors of the chakras and the drawing power of mandalas as her guiding lights. She contacted hundreds of artists to choose the images for this book. They are presented here -- five for each of the seven chakras -- beginning with the Red Root Chakra. Red is for Instinct. It flows into orange, for Passion, yellow for Self-Esteem, green for Compassion (at the Heart Chakra), blue for Expression, violet for Wisdom, and purple for Spirituality. Arettam's lucid text introduces readers to mandalas and their power, to chakras, and to the transformative power of art. Seven brief chapters in all, with meditations for each chakra center. Spirit Maps is a perfect gift for any time, any season, any reason.

The Pocket I Ching: The Richard Wilhelm Translation - RRP £7.99 GG Price £4.99

Richard Wilhelm (Author), W.S. Boardman (Editor), Cary F. Baynes (Translator)
This simplified pocket edition is for the modern reader who, it is admitted, may well be sceptical of a "book of oracles". But W.S.Boardman suggests that we should approach it with an open mind, allowing it to remind us of the apparent preponderance in life of chance (which might yet be something else). Recommending the traditional way of working with the text - tossing coins - W.S.Boardman says this helps us to let go of our struggle to control events and to stop taking ourselves too seriously. Both assist the detachment that can unlock us and allow real changes into our lives. Advising that we should not expect direct answers, yes or no, the author says that "almost always, what happens is that the serious user begins to look at his problem in a new way" instead. The ancient "I Ching" is itself a new way of looking at things.
