The I Ching Plain and Simple: A Guide to Working with the Oracle of Change

Karcher

Element Books Ltd., 2004

Warning - this is a reprint
Karcher fans and new readers should be warned that this edition is a reprint of Karcher's "How To Use the I Ching," which is still available and possibly already in your collection. It's an excellent if simplified introduction and recommended for newcomers to the Yi, but you don't need two of them. If you're more experienced get Karcher's irreplaceable five-star "Total I Ching," his best and ...

Faith and Compassion: The Life and Work of Mother Teresa

4 reviews
Raghu Rai, Navin Chawla

Element Books Ltd, 1996

Without Distinction Of Cast And Creedý
Mother Teresa was one of the most remarkable people to have lived, and the only source of hope and happiness for those she and the Sisters of her order cared for. She lived in the 20th Century so her work is known, her actions are fact. She is not subject to the passing of centuries and the romanticizing, and embellishing, that time and lack of knowledge allows. She was an internationally ...

The Mayan Prophecies : Unlocking the Secrets of a Lost Civilization

25 reviews
Adrian Gilbert, Maurice Cotterell

Element Books Ltd, 1996

Dodgy...
The blurb on the back reads "The present world will end on 22 December 2012. So prophesied the Maya 5,000 years ago..." - yet on page 4 the authors indicate that the Maya appeared around 500AD, which by my reckoning is only 1,500 years ago. Such internal inconsistencies riddle this book, and make it unreliable. On the face of it - and ignoring the 2012 prophecy, which uses some pretty ...

Your Pregnancy Week by Week

Glade B. Curtis, D. F. Hawkins

Element Books Ltd, 1996

Highly Informative
There are many critics of this book who claim that it is worries expectant mothers unnecessarily. However, I feel that it is necessary to understand the risks of pregnancy, as well as how to take care of the needs of an expectant mother. It is foolish to ignore the statistics, no matter how scary they can be because bad things do happen, and it is wise to be prepared. I would definitely ...

I have bought several other books prior too this one, however when I received this one...I haven't felt a need for more of late:) ...

A Little Book on the Human Shadow (Little Books)

11 reviews
Robert Bly

Element Books Ltd, 1992

An excellent guide to solving behavior problems
Robert Bly has done an excellent job of presenting the childhood origins of problems that plague people in their adult life. His concise and poetic writing allows for the easy understanding of what Carl Jung termed the human "shadow." This book helped me realize how the subconscious seeds of obsessive/compulsive behavior are planted early in life. Understanding the origins of behavior is very ...

The Dream Book: Symbols for Self-Understanding

31 reviews
Betty Bethards

Element Books Ltd, 1997

An Excellent Dream Reference Tool
The first part of this valuable tool explains theories about dreams as they relate to the subconscious mind, karma and reincarnation. It discusses chakra theory (the 7 spiritual energy centers of the human body or aura) along with a discussion about how dreams show us which chakras are out of balance. We learn to remember dreams by keeping a dream journal by the bed. There is some general ...

This book has changed my life. It has made me appreciate the Earth more and my role in this world. It has helped me find myself again after a pretty messy divorce. It has helped to guide me in the way I want to raise my daughter as well.

Preparing for Birth With Yoga: Exercises for Pregnancy and Childbirth (Women's Health & Parenting)

2 reviews
Janet Balaskas

Element Books Ltd, 1994

So helpful
I wish I would have discovered this book with my previous two pregnancies. I found the information helpful regarding childbirth and pain management. I got great relief from back pain (I had physical therapy that didn't work the first two pregnancies) and relaxation through the yoga practice. I would recommend this book to any pregnant woman. It has made my pregnancy much more enjoyable.

Don't Let Your Kids Kill You: A Guide for Parents of Drug and Alcohol Addicted Children

20 reviews
Charles Rubin

Element Books Ltd, 1996

Worth the "wait" in gold
I waited a few months to acquire, "Don't Let your Kids Kill You...," due to the book being temporarily out of print. How fortunate for me that I did not give in to impatience and cancel my order. Rubin's book is analagous to sitting down with a compassionate, insightful elder whose advice you treasure dearly. Although the author is not an old man by any standards, he is a wise one. ...

The Real Witches' Garden: Spells,Herbs, Plants and Magical Spaces Outdoors

5 reviews
Kate West

Element Books Ltd., 2004

Use this book for developing the "green" section of your BOS
While it does include helpful growing advice it isn't a how to book on gardening. Which is good because the focus is on the beautiful rituals which make up a good portion of the content. Besides those for growing healthy plants and dedicating your garden as sacred space, the author has included very special ones for the Sabbats that really highlight the connection of nature and Wicca. I thought ...

Transforming the Mind: Teachings on Generating Compassion

6 reviews
Dalai Lama

Element Books Ltd., 2003

A Wise Teacher for Our Times
This book is based upon a series of lectures given by H.H. the Dali Lama in London in 1999. The theme of the book is the attainment of human happiness through self-understanding, introspection and, as the title states, "Trasnforming the Mind." The theme of this book is similar to a book called "The Art of Happiness" that recounts an American psychiatrist's conversations with the Dali Lama. The ...

The Hiram Key: Pharaohs, Freemasons and the Discovery of the Secret Scrolls of Jesus

226 reviews
Christopher Knight, Robert Lomas

Element Books Ltd, 1998

The Hiram Key
This was an excellent and informative book. Much research and thought went into it's creation. Through the intent, focus, and dedication of these two authors, to uncover the truth, the law of attraction came into play and syncronized the process of discovery. It has a very unusual ending (related to scripture) which causes one to be open minded to all possibilities in faith and trust. I ...

Wicca, New Edition: A Comprehensive Guide to the Old Religion in the Modern World

37 reviews
Vivianne Crowley

Element Books Ltd., 2003

This is, to borrow a phrase, A "5 wand book!"
This book is a must have. I would not have known about it had not a friend in the U.K. sent it to me as a gift. Gift? This little book is a Gem of a gift. Yes, some parts I had to reread, because of *MY* lack of knowledge of Carl Jung. That is not the Author's fault, and it doesn't make it a bad book. What it does is stimulates the old gray matter. I am going on 64, and Yes, ...

The Encyclopedia of Celtic Wisdom

8 reviews
Caitlin Matthews, John Matthews

Element Books Ltd, 2000

As of 1/6/01, One of the Top Three Books on Celtic Tradition
The Encyclopaedia of Celtic Wisdom is, hands down, required reading for anyone interested in the primal Celtic traditions, especially of the Irish and Scottish traditions. Where John Matthews' Taliesin and the Shamanic Mysteries of Britian addresses largely a Cymric (Welsh) and British leaning, The Encyclopaedia of Celtic Wisdom is, largely, rooted in the Irish, with some exploration of folk ...
