THE LAST ALCHEMIST: Count Cagliostro, Master of Magic in the Age of Reason  THE LAST ALCHEMIST: Count Cagliostro, Master of Magic in the Age of Reason Ref: RWF0467

Iain McCalman

Depending on whom you ask, he was either a great healer or a dangerous charlatan. Internationally acclaimed historian Iain McCalman documents how Cagliostro crossed paths - and often swords - with the likes of Catherine the Great, Marie Antoinette, and Pope Pius VI. He was a muse to William Blake and the inspiration for both Mozart's Magic Flute and Goethe's Faust. Louis XVI had him thrown into the Bastille for his alleged involvement in what would come to be known as "the affair of the necklace." Yet in London, Warsaw, and St. Petersburg, he established "healing clinics" for the poorest of the poor, and his dexterity in the worlds of alchemy and spiritualism won him acclaim among the nobility across Europe.

Also the leader of an exotic brand of Freemasonry, Count Cagliostro was indisputably one of the most influential and notorious figures of the latter eighteenth century, overcoming poverty and an ignoble birth to become the darling - and bane - of upper-crust Europe. REMAINDER MARK.

LESSONS OUT OF THE BODY  LESSONS OUT OF THE BODY Ref: RWD959

Robert Peterson

In "Out-of-Body Experiences," Peterson taught us the mechanics of out-of-body travel. In "Lessons Out of the Body," he looks at how we can benefit from out-of-body experiences. Peterson believes we can learn important spiritual lessons during OBEs, because they allow us to experience life from a unique, nonphysical perspective. Peterson first shares what he has learned: how OBEs opened his mind about love, helped him to conquer his fear of dying, and even brought him to his soulmate. He then teaches us to go into the OBE with a deeper purpose: that of learning, growing, and adventuring on a spiritual, as well as a physical level. Peterson intrigues us with such chapters as "How OBE Is Like Fishing and Tightrope Walking," "Are Alien Abductions Really Just OBEs?" and "Using Desire to Achieve Out-of-Body Experiences." Finally, he includes tips for inducing OBEs, a troubleshooting guide, and a question-and-answer section.

THE LIGHTED PATH  THE LIGHTED PATH Ref: RFD304

Risha Henrique

As we begin the new millennium, we are entering a time when our present way of life will be changed forever by shifts in the physical and spiritual realms. Nostradamus, Casey, the Mayans, Hopis, Tibetans, and many others have spoken of these coming changes, but where is it really taking us? Does it portend the end, or a new beginning? Risha Henrique encourages us to welcome the inevitable changes, and to see the possibilities of entering an evolutionary period of spiritual renewal in which the enlightened ones bring a message of peace, caring, and harmony that illuminates the path of human destiny.

LING CH'I CHING: A Classic Chinese Oracle  LING CH'I CHING: A Classic Chinese Oracle Ref: RWD962

Ralph D Sawyer

The Ling Ch'I Ching was first created by an unknown Chinese scholar who consciously sought to present the world with a more accessible oracle than the esoteric I Ching. For centuries the Ling Ch'I Ching has been a popular divination device for attaining self-knowledge and wisdom. Like its more famous cousin, the I Ching, the Ling Ch'I Ching is rich in poetic language and metaphorical imagery, linking the dynamic principles of heaven and earth with the affairs of people. But the Ling Ch'I Ching is far more accessible than the I Ching, focusing on the concerns of day-to-day life and positive accomplishment, with no "moving lines" to interpret. To aid the reader in interpreting the oracle, selections from classical commentaries have been included, as well as the translators' own commentary on the text. Remainder mark.

PYRAMID QUEST: Secrets of the Great Pyramid & the Dawn of Civilization  PYRAMID QUEST: Secrets of the Great Pyramid & the Dawn of Civilization Ref: RWF0427

Robert M Schoch & Robert Aquinas

What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basic question of a traditional Egyptologist, and you receive the customary answer: an extravagant tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old Kingdom. This, Egyptologists argue, is a the sole finding based on the data, and the only deduction supported by science. By implication, anyone who dissents from this point of view is unscientific and woollyminded, a believer in magic and ghosts. Indeed, some of the dissenting ideas about the Great Pyramid do have a spectaculorly fabulous ring to them. Yet, beneath the obvious terms of this controversy, deeper, more significant questioms arise. How is it that the Great Pyramid exercises such a gripping hold on the human psyche - adding cryptic grace to the back of the one-dollar bill and framing myriad claims of New Age "pyramid power"?.

RETURN FROM HEAVEN: Beloved Relatives Reincarnated Within Your Family  RETURN FROM HEAVEN: Beloved Relatives Reincarnated Within Your Family Ref: RFD484B

Carol Bowman

For the first time anywhere, Carol Bowman, author of the groundbreaking Children's Past Lives, reveals how common it is for relatives to reincarnate into the same family - grandfathers return as their own great-grandsons, uncles return as their own nieces, mothers switch places with their daughters, and children who died tragically young sometimes return to the same mother. Return from Heaven is empirical, based on direct observation of very young children - some as young as two. Carol Bowman is recognized as a pioneer in reincarnation studies. She began collecting cases in 1988 not as a researcher, but as a mother trying to understand the past-life memories of her own two children.

RULING PLANETS: Everything You Need to Know to Access the Real Power of Your Zodiac Sign  RULING PLANETS: Everything You Need to Know to Access the Real Power of Your Zodiac Sign Ref: RWE1076

Christopher Renstrom

Everyone knows that your birthday says something special about your personality. But do you know why? It's because on the day you were born a certain planet was powerful in the sky and this planet became your Ruling Planet. This is why each of us has our own unique take on life and why there are as many points of view as there are stars in the heavens. Your Ruling Planet acts like a Patron Saint or Guardian Angel. You share its temperament, characteristics, talents, and even foibles. Unlike your zodiac sign, which is static, your Ruling Planet is in constant motion. It changes and grows as you change and grow. Moreover, like a weather report, it tells you what to expect so that you can navigate your way through life and your relationships. Drawing on this older and more interactive tradition, Christopher Renstrom focuses exclusively on your Ruling Planet and the collaborative role it plays in nearly every decision you make. Lushly illustrated with full-colour art and photographs throughout, Ruling Planets presents a visual tour that winds its way through myth, history, and popular culture. You'll also discover famous personalities who share your Planet from Marie Antoinette to Madonna. Remainder mark.

David Ovason

For the first time it has been possible to verify the predictions of Nostradamus, using the latest computer technology. Nostradamus predicted that Britain would dominate the world for 300 years, and that in the 20th century this power would pass over to America, and that a proportion of humankind, an underclass, will sink rapidly into moral and spiritual decline, while a smaller proportion will begin to move towards spiritual growth. The prophecies in this new translation demonstrate, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it is possible to predict future events several centuries before they happen.

Albert Taylor

In this fascinating volume, you will read the story of one man's ability to travel beyond the physical plane of existence in search of the "Ultimate Truth" in this world...and the next. From an early age, Albert Taylor experienced bouts of almost death-like paralysis which were accompanied by extraordinarily lucid and realistic dreams. His grandmother called them "Witch Rides. " As he grew older and learned more about his gift, these Witch Rides progressed in strength and scope to eventually become full-fledged out-of-body experiences. Gradually, Albert found himself able to "fly" with his mind to distant places, breaking the boundaries of this world, and encountering spirits beyond. Engineer, scientist, and artist, Albert Taylor relates his research and knowledge with great insight and humor. He tells us how these paranormal events have affected his life, how anyone can have an out-of-body experience...and even learn to consciously control their "Soul Travels."

THE STAR THAT NEVER WALKS AROUND: A Native American Tarot Package  THE STAR THAT NEVER WALKS AROUND: A Native American Tarot Package Ref: RXD091

Stella Bennett

When buffalo roamed the earth and the nomadic Plains Indians followed, it was by the light of Polaris, the North Star, the Star that Never Walks Around, that the tribes were always able to find their way.

Stella Bennett has transformed the tarot into an oracle based on Native American lore. The traditional suits of Wands (fire), Cups (water), Swords (air), and Pentacles (earth) here become Thunderbirds (creatures of the fire from the sky), Frogs (water creatures), Butterflies (creatures of the air), and Turtles (the Native American symbol of Mother Earth). On the Court cards are images of warriors and medicine women. On the major arcana we see swans representing one's acceptance of transformation, and coyote as the cosmic trickster. Bennett's guidebook shows readers how to use their own intuition to interpret card imagery and to read cards for themselves and others. 78 card deck with paperback.

THE VIEW FROM THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE: Discovering our Extraordinary Place in the Cosmos  THE VIEW FROM THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE: Discovering our Extraordinary Place in the Cosmos Ref: RWF0451

Joel R Primack & Nancy Ellen Abrams

For thousands of years, humans thought of themselves as central to the universe and created symbols and myths to make sense of the world and their special place in it. But when scientists discovered four hundred years ago that Earth was not the center of the universe, we suddenly saw ourselves as adrift, living on an inconseqential rock in an endless expanse of space. In this strikingly original book, a world-renowned cosmologist and an innovative writer on the history and philosophy of science uncover an astonishing truth: Humans actually are central to the universe in unexpected ways. What does this mean for our culture and our personal lives? The answer is revolutionary: a science-based cosmology that allows us to understand the universe as a whole as well as our extraordinary place in it. We are the first generation, the authors explain, capable of grasping what the nature of the universe may imply about Earth - and how this knowledge can be used to protect the long-terrm future of our planet. - Los Angeles Times Book Review.
