Embracing the revival of psychedelic research and the discovery of new therapeutic uses, clinical psychologist, Dr. Richard Louis Miller, discusses what is happening today in psychedelic medicine - and what will happen in the future - with top researchers and thinkers in this field, including Rick Doblin, Stanislav Grof, James Fadiman, Julie Holland, Dennis McKenna, David Nichols, Charles Grob, Ph

We are in the midst of a revival of an ancient way of looking at the world - an approach that enabled great civilisations of the past to bring forth inventions of great beauty and power. This school of thought envisioned the natural world and the solar system as an interlocking matrix of harmonious numbers. Exploring the art and science of harmonics, John Oscar Lieben shows how to create harmoniou

Art, magic and the occult have been intimately linked since our prehistoric ancestors created the first cave paintings some 50,000 years ago. As civilisations developed, these esoteric forces continued to drive culture forward, both visibly and behind the scenes, from the Hermetic ideas of the Renaissance, to the ethereal worlds of 19th-century Symbolism, to the occult interests of the Surrealists

Named after a mythological Inuit sea woman, the planet Sedna was first discovered in 2003. Its return to our solar system after 11,000 years of orbit has been tied to the huge tsunami that struck Indonesia, Thailand and India in 2004 as well as to the increased occurrence of other marine and weather events over the last decade. And just as it is affecting the waters of our planet, Sedna's energies

No decade in modern history has generated more controversy and divisiveness than the tumultuous 1960s. For some, the '60s were an era of free love, drugs and social revolution. For others, the Sixties were an ungodly rejection of all that was good and holy. Embarking on a profound search for the spiritual meaning behind the massive social upheavals of the 1960s, Tobias Churton turns a kaleidoscopi

Most people are familiar with the popular image of elves as Santa's helpers and dwarfs as little bearded men wearing red caps, who are mischievous and playful, helpful and sly, industrious and dexterous. But their roots go far deeper than their appearance in fairy tales and popular stories. Elves and dwarfs are survivors of a much older belief system that predates Christianity and was widespread t

The "Gruppo di UR" was a group of Italian esotericists who collaborated for three brief years, from 1927 to 1929. The purpose of this group was to study and practice ancient rituals and procedures they gleaned from the mystery traditions of the world, both East and West, in order to attain a state of superhuman consciousness and power that would allow them to act magically on the world. They produ

The most influential magical group in Germany during the 20th century, the Fraternitas Saturni or Brotherhood of Saturn, is still the most active and important magical society in Germany today. But from its formal beginnings in 1926 in Weimar Berlin until around 1970 it was almost totally secret. Most of what is known about the Order in the English-speaking world is fragmentary and focuses exclusi

Although the rune renaissance began blossoming in Anglo-American occult circles in the 1970s, the runes have been part of the occult revival in Germany since its beginning in the late 19th century, with roots that go back centuries further. Exploring the history of esoteric runology and the work of the trailblasers of modern rune magic, including Guido von List, Friedrich Bernhard Marby and Rudolf

Exploring the influence of the Norse god, Odin, in the modern world, Richard Rudgley reveals Odin's central role in the pagan revival and how this has fuelled a wide range of cultural movements and phenomena, including Nazi Germany, the 1960s counterculture revolution, the Lord of the Rings, the ecology movement and the occult underground. Rudgley argues that it is Odin and not Jesus Christ who is

Beginning with sun worship in prehistory and sunshine therapies in ancient Egypt, Greece and India, light has long been associated with the sublime, the divine and healing. Yet only recently have we begun to understand how different parts of the light spectrum, from infrared to ultraviolet, can affect our physical and psychological well-being.Covering the historic, scientific and spiritual aspects

Encounters with apparently sentient beings are reported by half of all first time users of the naturally occurring psychedelic DMT, yet the question of DMT beings and plant sentience, interspecies communication, discarnate consciousness and perhaps even talking to the divine has never been systematically explored. In September 2015, ten of the world's leading luminaries noted for exploring the mys

Expanding the practice of reflexology beyond the feet and hands, Ewald Kliegel illustrates how to precisely and quickly treat different emotional and physical disorders with an integrated combination of reflexology and complementary therapies. Applying the fundamental principles of reflexology to the entire body, he provides more than 30 full-colour maps of reflex zones from head to toe, including

For millennia, the spiritual power of odour - such as from incense or frankincense - has been used to symbolise intention, stimulate awareness of our spiritual self and accentuate rite and ritual. Drawing on this power, as well as their healing qualities, essential oils can provide the perfect complement to a meditation or mindfulness practice. Outlining the practice and benefits of meditation and

Following in the footsteps of a little-known group of esoteric seekers from the late-nineteenth century who called themselves “the Miracle Club,” Mitch Horowitz shows that the spiritual “wish fulfilment” practices known as the Law of Attraction, Positive Thinking, “the Secret” and the Science of Getting Rich, actually work. Weaving these ideas together into a concise, clear formula, with actual ex

In FUTURE SACRED, Julie J. Morley offers a new perspective on the human connection to the cosmos by unveiling the connected creativity and sacred intelligence of nature. She rejects the “survival of the fittest” narrative - the idea that survival requires strife - and offers symbiosis and cooperation as nature's path forward. She shows how an increasingly complex world demands increasingly complex

The Old Norse runes, known as the Elder Futhark, have long joined forces with the cycles of the seasons to offer powerful initiations, guidance and wisdom. Aligning the sacred festivals, plantings and harvests of ancient runic calendars with our modern 12-month calendar, Kelley Harrell reveals how the runes can once again offer initiations as well as instruct us on the holy days and creative rhyth

New England has long been associated with witches. And while the Salem witch trials happened long ago, the prejudices and fears engendered by the witchcraft hysteria still live on in our culture. What forces were at work that brought the witch hysteria quickly from Europe to the new American colony, a place of religious freedom - and what caused these prejudices to linger centuries after the fact?

Uncovering the dark side of the Nordic rune stones hidden beneath their traditional interpretation, Swedish scholar and runologist, Thomas Karlsson, examines the rune work of Swedish mystic and runologist, Johannes Bureus, (1568-1652) and professor Sigurd Agrell (1881-1937), both of whom devoted their lives to uncovering the secret uses of rune stones concealed from all but the highest initiates.
