Vampires
– A Field Guide to the Creatures that Stalk the Night
by Bob Curran
"Vampire!"
The very word conjures up visions of ruined castles, of
enigmatic pale-skinned noblemen shrouded in dark cloaks,
of slumbering beauties being bloodily ravished by supernatural,
nocturnal creatures. But just how accurate is that picture?
Today, people’s perceptions of Vampires has been shaped
by programs, movies, and books such as Buffy the Vampire
Slayer, Blade, Angel, and The Historian. But what lurks
beyond the stereotype? How much do we really know about
these mysterious entities? This book explores the rich diversity
of vampire belief and lore, from countries as diverse as
India, Sweden, and Ireland. It is a unique, lavishly illustrated
work and is destined to become a valuable reference for
anyone interested in vampirology. This is a 249-page soft
cover book.

The
Way of Tarot - The Spiritual Teacher in the Cards
by Alejandro Jodorowsky & Marianne Costa
Alejandro
Jodorowsky`s profound study of the Tarot, which began in
the early 1950s, reveals it to be far more than a simple
divination system. The Tarot is first and foremost a powerful
instrument of self-knowledge and a representation of the
structure of the soul. The Way of the Tarot shows that the
entire deck is structured like a temple, or mandala, which
is both an image of the world and a representation of the
divine. The authors use the sacred art of the original Marseille
Tarot, created during a time of religious tolerance in the
11th century, to reconnect with the roots of the Tarot’s
Western esoteric wisdom. They explain that the Tarot is
a "nomadic cathedral" whose parts, the 78 Cards
or "arcana," should always be viewed with awareness
of the whole structure. This understanding is essential
to fully grasp the Tarot’s hermetic symbolism. The
authors explore the secret associations behind the hierarchy
of the cards and the correspondences between the suits and
energies within human beings. Each description of the Major
Arcana includes key word summaries, symbolic meanings, traditional
interpretations, and a section where the card speaks for
itself. Jodorowsky and Costa then take the art of reading
the Tarot to a depth never before possible. Using their
work with Tarology, a new psychological approach that uses
the symbolism and optical language of the Tarot to create
a mirror image of the personality, they offer a powerful
tool for self-realization, creativity and healing. This
is a 536-page soft cover book.

Witchcraft
in Yorkshire
by Patricia Crowther
Patricia
Crowther’s Witchcraft in Yorkshire was originally
published in the UK in 1973. A small book of the region’s
lore, this important and detailed book described customs,
legends, spells, and beliefs of the Yorkshire area of the
UK. This facsimile reproduction of the original 1973 book
is now available as a limited edition, yet at an affordable
price, with all the original language, observations, and
commentary intact. Even the back cover photo is from that
era. The front cover alone has been updated in tribute to
the importance of this very influential work. The foreword
to this new edition puts this book in modern perspective,
stating, "The small book you are now holding in your
hands was an early effort by one of the first publicly announced
practitioners to contribute to a fuller picture of the witch,
and of witchcraft. The text provides samplings of how witchcraft
and folk magic manifested themselves, over many years, within
the borders of Yorkshire." This is a limited, numbered
edition, printed in the United States. It is being printed
in its original format as a small-sized paperback.

Women's
Rites, Women's Mysteries
by Ruth Barrett
How
can women turn birthday parties, baby showers, and other
rites of passage into empowering celebrations brimming with
meaning and fiery feminine spirit? Emphasizing the Dianic
Wiccan tradition, Barrett shows women how they can create
empowering, transformative rituals that strengthen their
profound connection to the Goddess. Instead of providing
shortcuts, scripts, or rote rituals, she teaches women how
to think like a ritualist. Step by step, readers learn the
ritual-making process: developing a purpose and theme, building
an altar, preparing emotionally and mentally (energetics),
spellcasting, and more. For beginners or experienced ritualists,
solitaries or groups, this thorough, engaging guide to the
art of ritual-making can help women commemorate every sacred
milestone – from menstruation to marriage to menopause
– that touches their lives. This is a 329-page trade
softcover book.
