Joseph J Weed

Parker, 1973

Succinct rendition of Rosicrucian principles/methods
Mr. Weed is a former Rosicrucian Grand Councilor who has written other, less pithy books as well. His "A Rosicrucian Speaks" is very different & IMHO far less valuable than this masterwork. I believe Mr. Weed was strongly criticized by AMORC for publishing this book which succinctly reveals much private information that Rosicrucian students receive over years of study & practice--it was felt ...

Aura Reading Through ALL Your Senses: Celestial Perception Made Practical, Second Edition

Rose Rosetree

Women's Intuition Worldwide, 2004

Develop your Reading, Develop Spiritually
This book is one of a kind. Most book on aura reading are very limited in the way they teach to develop your abilities. This book cannot fail to help you unravel your gifts because it pinpoints your strengths. It doesn't promise instantaneous and magical aura viewing in "30 seconds!" or in "30 minutes!" Psychic reading is a skill to develop and this book helps you develop it. One of the most ...

The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power

Vernon Linwood Howard

New Life Foundation, 1999

Mystic Path to Cosmic Power
Mystic Path to Cosmic Power by Vernon Howard is a perfect book. It was written by an awakened man and it explains in clear language the way to become awakened. I attended classes and personally met this man and he embodied everything he taught about awakedness. He spoke clearly and directly to the ignorance that enslaved me and called it out for me to observe, and in that observation, I have ...

In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching (Harvest Book)

P. D. Ouspensky

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1965

Great Introduction to the Esoteric Work
P.D. Ouspensky's "In Search of the Miraculous" is one of the most profound and one of most memorable books that I have ever read, and it is most certainly the must-read. Not only that, it also forces one to question one's reality, self-identity, actions, and surroundings. With each time that I read this book, I began to notice the number of little false "i's" that popped up in my being. Every ...

Wodnerfull book from a great teacher!
I had the delight of taking John Main's classes at the Yoga Tree when I lived in the Haight in 2002. I just re-ordered thsi book to read it again, my first on being purchased from the Yoga Tree. His honesty and simple, straight on writing and thoughs are inspiring and make for a great, motivating book.

Midnights with the Mystic: A Little Guide to Freedom and Bliss

Cheryl Simone, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Hampton Roads Pub Co, 2008

What a great glimpse into the other dimensions of life...
What a great look into an American success story and how even creating such external life comforts still cannot create the joy we are all meant to experience. Cheryl has a real talent for sharing her experience and Sadhguru's wisdom just blew me away. I plan to buy this book for friends and family and take some of Isha Foundation's courses. Thanks for writing and sharing this work.

Gentle reminders when faced with uncertainty
My husband bought this for me for Christmas. We're faced with giving birth in February to a child who will require several open heart surgeries. I've been struggling with the anticipation and fear - mostly of the unknown. It's made the days hard to get through. I've picked up this book no less than 10 times in the few hours since he's given it to me, and each page contains a small wisdom ...

Life Changing
This is a life-changing book in the sense that it truly explains the divine essence of Christ and how it relates to our own lives.

Khyber Knights: An Account of Perilous Adventure and Forbidden Romance in the Depths of Mystic Asia

44 reviews
Asadullah Khan, Cuchullaine O'Reilly

Long Riders' Guild Press, 2001

Khyber Knights
Khyber Knights is a rattling good account of high adventure in wild - and not so wild - places that could, with a little chronological adjustment, have been lifted straight out of the Great Game at the height of the British imperial raj. Almost in fact what the British used to call a ripping yarn. It keeps faith with the derring-do of Henry Pottinger, Arthur Conolly, Alexander Burnes and Josiah ...

Meru And The Magic Thread

12 reviews

Trafford Publishing, 2003

Meru and the Magic Thread
There have been so many books about fantasy but this one takes fantasy to a very personal level. It teaches simple lessons about love, honesty, faith, and perseverence. If I could be like Meru for just one day I think my life would totally change. It is a short book but each chapter takes you to a completely different place. I think everyone should read this book, both young and old.

Life Bliss Foundation (Nithyananda Pub.), 2006

Guaranteed Means GUARANTEED!
GUARANTEED SOLUTIONS provides the Way, the Way to undo effects from the past and the Way to bliss and enlightenment, while still living in the human body! Other books may point out problems and they may even offer ideas for solution. But, do they work? Are they lasting? After doing them are we any different? Do they do anything more than offer hope? Is there evidence that what they write ...

Armchair Mystic: Easing into Contemplative Prayer

10 reviews
Mark E. Thibodeaux

Saint Anthony Messenger Press, 2001

Useful Instructional Tool
Fr. Mark Thibodeaux is a spiritual director and retreat leader. When reading this book one gets the impression that he has taken a course on prayer and put it into book form. As such this book is exactly what the sub-title claims, a class on "Easing Into Contemplative Prayer." This book doesn't delve as deeply into the contemplative life as some, but it makes an excellent beginning text, ...

Laura Antoniou, Cecilia Tan, ...

Mystic Rose Books, 2000

A wonderful idea that is done very very well.
Laura Antoniou had a great idea: her Marketplace series was so popular and fans wanted so much more, why not continue the story but also allow others to create their own Marketplace pieces? The result is the wonderful story of the Marketplace worldwide meeting with the intriguing Kris Parker as the main character. We also meet older slaves, trainers, and owners, and those somewhere in between ...

Citadel, 2001

An Excellent Herbal for Witches!
I HIGHLY recommend this well-written and informative book to all Witches and anyone looking for information on the folklore and magickal application of herbs. The author, a practicing Witch, includes many areas of herbalism that many other books don't (such as mind-expanding plants, herbal poisons, and other such "taboo" subjects) and there is an excellent section devoted to the mandrake, ...

Florence Nightingale: Mystic, Visionary, Healer

Barbara Dossey

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000

outstanding biography
This is unquestionably the best biography of Nightingale ever written. The author reminds us that Nightingale was one of the first statisticians -- one of the first members of the statistical society in the U.K. and for many years the only woman member. Nightingale collected and published voluminous statistics about health care (she proved that the rate of childbirth fever was lower among women ...

Robin Skelton

Citadel Press, 2000

Great book if you can get a copy...
This was my first book 5 years ago (I'm so glad I got it before it went out of print) along with Silver Ravenwolfs to ride a magick broomstick (which I also recommend) Although this may not be the best book for beginners who want to know more about the wiccan religion itself (skelton does go into this, but not as well as others), it is great for those who need beginner spells (there are almost ...

Marjorie Pivar, Quang Van Nguyen

St. Martin's Press, 2004

Medicine for Body, Heart and Spirit
Fourth Uncle in the Mountain -- A Memoir of a Barefoot Doctor in Vietnam reveals a world that has all but disappeared in most of Asia, a world where Buddhas, earth spirits and shamans are as real as the food you eat and the bed you sleep in. The book itself opens in a trance, where Quang addresses the "flesh-eating sun" and makes the clouds "bang into each another." When I lived in Taiwan 25 ...
