A valuable tool
This is one of the best beginners' guides for Tarot that I have come across. Nowhere else will you find a more comprehensive yet simple approach to putting together the Celtic Cross. Ms. Bunning gives key words for each position, and she looks in detail at the pairs within the Celtic Cross. Her detailed descriptions of both the positions and position pairs is a great way to learn the ...

A String and a Prayer: How to Make and Use Prayer Beads

7 reviews
Eleanor Wiley, Maggie Oman Shannon

Red Wheel/Weiser, 2002

the point is the process
I think this book is probably most helpful if you are already familiar with meditative prayer, using beads or not. Selecting the beads and resources (or finding you already have them, as I did today after getting the book as a gift) and making the beaded object are all parts of a prayer in themselves. When you come back to the object you have created, you are aware of the process and the feelings ...

Scott Shaw

Red Wheel/Weiser, 2004

Valuable Book
Instead of wasting money on Iyengar's books, this is safer, simple way of doing PRANAYAMA. This book is worth it's weight in gold. Alternet Nostril Breathing is the best for weight loss, however Ujjaini works, too, but little slowly. Following are two techniques: Alternate Nostril Breathing (Anulom Vilom Pranayama with no breath retention) This pranayama (control breathing) is done with ...

The One Year Manual: Twelve Steps to Spiritual Enlightenment

5 reviews
Dr. Israel Regardie

Red Wheel / Weiser, 2007

.......NOT just for occult folks, by ANY means !!!
I have a few hesitations abt this book: I think some of th relaxation and body awareness exercises can mess you up, all the while that they make you feel good for a time. Exercises where you try to sense all the minute sensations in your body, can be destructive. The body needs to be aware of itself to some extent, yet awakening too much awareness sensitises nerves which in the long run, are best ...

The God Theory: Universes, Zero-point Fields, And What's Behind It All

70 reviews
Bernard Haisch

Red Wheel/Weiser, 2006

The True Answer for Why Are We Here
Did you ever watch the "Wizard of Oz"? Would you dare to look behind the curtain? Do you read reviews with 'spoilers' before watching a movie? Do you read the endings of a novel first? Other reviews have broken this book down, I am not here to repeat that. I have believed the essence of the God Theory for the last 30 years or so. Finally, in one simple book articulated better than I could ...

The Essential Laws of Fearless Living: Find the Power to Never Feel Powerless Again

Guy Finley

Red Wheel/Weiser, 2008

Spending hours daily on fears, anxiety and worrying??
Get this book today. Fearless Living talks to those of us that are spending too much of our waking hours thinking and worrying about yesterdays gone by or tomorrows that have yet to come, imagining circumstances our over active minds make up out of thin air (people looking at us in a funny way so we make up a scenario that they don't like us for some imaginary reason). Hahahaha! Been there, done ...

The Bahir: Illumination

14 reviews
Aryeh Kaplan

Red Wheel / Weiser, 1980

The Light of the Torah
There are several very old Texts in the Kabala, besides the Zohar, the Sefer Yetzirah and a series of Midrashim dealing with Esoteric concepts among others, there is the Sefer HaBahir, or the Bahir as know through Rabbi's Kaplan book. This book is classic in the language and concepts of the time of the Tanaim (and before): the sages that composed the Mishna. Because of it, it is not without a ...

Cassandra Eason

Red Wheel/Weiser, 2002

A Complete Guide to Faeries & Magical Beings
The mythology of faeries is extremely rich. So many cultures have stories and legends about faeries, little people, and other such mystical creatures. Moreover, there are probably as many differing descriptions of these beings as there are stories. Some are beautiful and genial. Others are ugly, deceptive, or downright dangerous. A Complete Guide to Faeries & Magical Beings is a good overview ...

The Astrological Neptune and the Quest for Redemption

18 reviews
Liz Greene

Red Wheel / Weiser, 2000

ELLUSIVE NEPTUNE: Finally captured in words!
Liz Greene has most certainly captured Neptune in this book! Whenever I have delineated charts, I have always said "Ah Neptune makes me nuts!". As there is not anything wrong with Neptune, it is just that is complicated, emotional and more of a "state" of existence or experience that is difficult to describe in "words". The words typically available in the mundane can frquently cause the ...

Christopher Penczak

Read this one FIRST
When embarking on a study of anything metaphysical, spiritual or esoteric, please read this book FIRST. Christopher Penczak lays the groundwork that you can build on to understand the concepts of all of the genres I listed. It is easy to read and understand, full of valuable information, great exercises, and lists (angels, fetish animals etc). It is a book that you will refer back to, and ...

Sue Patton Thoele

Red Wheel/Weiser, 2002

This book will nourish you and help you grow!
I keep this book and its sisterbook, "A Woman's Book of Courage", in my bottom desk drawer at work. From time to time, whenever I feel depressed, uncertain, insecure, I read passages from these books and feel immediately uplifted. My sense of confidence is restored, and I get back to work.

5 reviews
K'Uan Lu Yu, Charles Luk

Red Wheel / Weiser, 2007

A Treasure Trove of Teachings!
This text deserves all the praise heaped on it by one of the reviewers.There is not a wasted word in it. It is thoroughly practical, and rightly so, because (a) based on the teachings of experienced masters and (b) translated by an eminent lay-practicioner. Master Hsu Yun (1840-1959) recommended that Lu KUan Yu (Charles Luk) should present these texts. Be it the Surangama Sutra, Ch'an (Zen,T'ien ...

Tarot as a Way of Life: A Jungian Approach to the Tarot

3 reviews
Karen Hamaker-Zondag

Red Wheel / Weiser, 2007

The single best book on Tarot I've seen
This is a book that not only tells you what the Tarot cards mean--in plain English--but also gives a concise, credible explanation for why each card means what she says it means. She draws heavily on Jungian psychology in her interpretation of the Major Arcana, and on numerology (filtered through folklore and mythology) for the Minor Arcana, but in both cases she refers directly to what's ...

The Open Mind: Exploring the 6 Patterns of Natural Intelligence

8 reviews
Dawn Markova, Ph. D.

Red Wheel / Weiser, 1996

Beyond "Learning Styles"
One of my favorite and most often returned to books. Goes beyond one's so-called "learning style" to include the strengths of the sensory modalities beyond the one preferred for conscious understanding. Fascinating. Very useful, and part of a growing trend which recognizes individual differences as strengths, not as problems to be fixed. Instead of forcing people apart, this kind of understanding ...

Kids' Random Acts of Kindness

Conari Press

Red Wheel / Weiser, 1994

Great!
Great way to show kids that other kids just like them have done acts of kindness and they don't have to be huge to count. My kids loved hearing about what other kids did and found the stories inspirational. Even made some of them want to do their own acts of kindness!!!

Pranic Healing

Choa Kok Sui

Red Wheel Weiser, 1990

Self-empowering 21st century healing and survival technology
This book is an extremely well-written and detailed source of how-to and descriptives on Pranic Healing, the non-touch enery healing modality! I was introduced to the book by a healer who felt that this book would allow me to learn energy healing quickly and easily. It certainly was the case! I was able to heal myself of numerous problems, in particular, one very bad sprain in one day ...
