Practical Solitary Magic
An accessible guide for beginners interested in practicing magic safely and effectively on their own. Many students of magic don’t want to be tied to a particular group or tradition, but prefer to search, experiment, and grow on their own. Here, at last, is an eminently sane and readable handbook that gives not only the how, but the why and wherefore, of the materials and methods of the solitary magician. In Practical Solitary Magic, Nancy Watson combines a concise introduction to the psychology and ethics of magic with a thorough treatment of its mechanisms. In a lively style, enhanced by personal anecdote and thoughtful insight, she initiates novices into the rudiments of ritual and guid...
Irene Rice Pereira
Artist Irene Rice Pereira was a significant figure in the New York art world of the 1930s and 1940s, who shared an interest in Jungianism with the better-known Abstract Expressionists and with various women artists and writers seeking "archetypal" imagery. Yet her artistic philosophy and innovative imagery elude easy classification with her artistic contemporaries. In consequence, her work is rarely included in studies of the period and is almost unknown to the general public. This first intellectual history of the artist and her work seeks to change that. Karen A. Bearor thoroughly re-creates the artistic and philosophical milieu that nourished Pereira’s work. She examines the options ava...
The New Gods
Harold Schechter looks at the impossible tales and images of popular art--the space odysseys and extraterrestrial civilizations, the caped crusaders and men of steel, and monsters from the ocean floor--and finds close connections between religious myth and popular entertainment.

The Occult Significance of UFO's
The Occult Significance of UFO'S: No doubt one of the greatest mysteries to emerge from the latter half of the twentieth century has been the subject of UFO's. The questions on everyone's lips at the moment are: Do flying saucers really exist? And has our earth at any time been visited by extra-terrestrials? In this book, Dr. Douglas M. Baker, an investigator into the phenomena of UFO's for more than 25 years, states conclusively that yes, our Earth has indeed been visited by extra-terrestrials from as far back as 18 million years ago, with the advent of the "Lords of the Flame" He goes on to say that although many of the sightings can be explained away by science as simple natural occurrences, there remain the few isolated incidents which defy all present scientific means of interpretation. To these, Dr. Baker attributes the various occult factors he describes here.
Tarot Shadow Work
"In Tarot Shadow Work, Christine Jette bravely takes the practice of tarot readings to new depths and places many people fear to go. She shows us how we can use the cards to trigger awareness in ourselves of troubling aspects of our lives and histories, and then go beyond discovery to use the cards as tools for healing. This is part of the work that needs to be done with tarot in this new century." --Rachel Pollack, author of 78 Degrees of Wisdom and the forthcoming Shining Tribe Tarot Deep within our psyches, the unconscious holds our forbidden feelings, secret wishes, and creative urges. Over time, these "dark forces" take on a life of their own and form the shadow--a powerful force of unr...
Communicating Myths of the Golden Age Comedia
These dialogues express different world visions. If the expected cultural exchange takes place, then an enduring relationship of tolerance and understanding forms between the two worlds. Bonds that surpass temporal, geographic, and philosophical specificity attest to humankind's universal and atemporal need for myth. The questions, proposed answers, and subsequent revisions will, it is hoped, coexist in an ongoing dialogue among ancient, Golden Age, and contemporary individuals.
Who Shall Command the Skylark Not to Sing?
You can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing? Literature proves to be the symbolic and sound device from which quieted ideologies transcend the forever politically correct or culturally restricted societies of past and present. In Who Shall Command the Skylark Not to Sing? Dr. Adel Al-Atawneh sheds light on the oeuvres of two honorable writers, Adrienne Kennedy and Ghassan Kanafani, who depict and portray social diseases through celebrated works of literature of underdogs fighting for their place. While focusing on the struggles associated with the construction of an audacious personal identity, this comparative study of E...
