9-11 ON TRIAL
: The World Trade Center Collapse
[Victor Thorn]
Here at last is the ultimate PROOF that shreds the American government's official story -- and credibility -- beyond repair. Many have long believed that the truth would prevail. It has always existed somewhere between the illusions and deceptions, beyond the smoke and mirrors. And despite a masterfully orchestrated pyrotechnic stage show witnessed by the world on September 11, 2001. Chase a lie long enough and it will run itself to death. This book is the culmination of over three years of unrelenting independent investigation by numerous journalists, researchers and organisations into what really happened -- and what did not happen -- in New York City on 11 September 2001. '9-11 on Trial' systematically and categorically implodes the myth that the WTC towers were brought down by kamikaze plane impacts or burning jet fuel, subsequently leading to the mass murder of nearly 3000 people on that fateful day. Independent findings reveal a far different, even more chilling conclusion about what really happened at Ground Zero -- a truth so powerful it can no longer be suppressed, ignored, or denied. The government lie has now collapsed into its own unmistakable footprint. We find the Defendant: GUILTY!

9/11 SYNTHETIC TERROR, 3RD EDITION
: Made in USA
[Webster Griffin Tarpley]
The thesis of this book has been enthusiastically received with its working model of the 9/11 plot: a covert network of moles, patsies, and a commando cell in the privatised intelligence services, backed by corrupt political and corporate media elites. Buttressed by historical examples like the Baader-Meinhof Gang and the Gunpowder Plot, this model makes it clear how such a monstrous false-flag or self-terror exploit is possible even under a largely benign government. That paradox is the incredibility gap that has made most Americans reject the evidence about 9/11 as paranoid fantasy. Tarpley brings decades of expertise to the 9/11 issue. In 1978 he exposed the terrorist Red Brigades as patsies of Italy's fascist P2 shadow government, and 9/11 is on the same pattern. The forthright subtitle, Made in USA, is backed up by an analysis of key figures who behave like moles working for the insidious network. 9/11 Synthetic Terror highlights the salient points of sheer physical impossibility of the official 9/11 conspiracy theory. It makes clear that figures like Osama bin Laden are patsies, dupes or double agents, selected for their ethnic colouring as the basis for launching a "Clash of Civilisations", and how absurd it is to imagine that such tools of US intelligence agencies could turn around and infiltrate or overwhelm US defences unaided. Tarpley shows that the wars on the Islamic world, the Soviet-Afghan, Kosovo and Chechen conflicts, as well as US-UK-NATO synthetic terror incidents like 9/11, Beslan or 3/11 in Madrid, have been contrived to continue the Cold War, in pursuit of the centuries-long campaign for Anglo hegemony over Eurasia and the world. The preface to the second edition explains the significance and superiority of "MIHOP" vs "LIHOP", and the many drills on 9/11 and on 7/7, which were cover and conduit for those false-flag operations. The third edition preface makes clear that 9/11 is the only issue that can stop a new world war and the descent into a police state. It shows up the cowardice of the "left gatekeepers" on this score. The analysis of Moussaoui on trial as a classic weak-minded patsy -- part double agent, part fanatic -- again shows the unique power of Tarpley's mole-patsy model to debunk the lies put out by the war party. For a principled refutation of the 9/11 propaganda myth in all its parts, Tarpley's bombshell, brilliant book - I strongly recommend 911 Synthetic Terror. Should be required reading for all honest truth seekers, s work is indispensable.

AMERICA'S CONSCIENCE
: Facing Threats to Democracy, the Middle Class & Our World
[Bernadette T Vadurro]
'America's Conscience' explores the insidious pathways by which our nation arrived at where we are today. Not since the Civil War have Americans been so divided on so many issues. From national security to the wars in the Middle East, to abortion, to gay marriage, to education, to climate change, Americans are polarised. Readers will discover how secretive, intentional, and insidious forces have purposefully divided our nation in order to push through a radical agenda that most Americans would never have agreed upon. This book tells the story of how a distracted patriotic and somewhat fearful American public was bamboozled by powerful influences that successfully manipulated, hijacked, and then shifted American policies for gain and profit. Sadly, while the future of the nation is compromised, the American media delivers silly stories of distraction. Presenting the facts in a clear and objective way, the reader will become better informed and prepared as a citizen.

AMERICAN INDIAN LOVE STORIES
: Traditional Stories of Love & Romance from Tribes Across America
[Herman Grey]
This collection of Indian love stories is a rare find. Traditional love stories handed down through families from generation-to-generation, these heart-warming, and sometimes playful, tales are written in a manner that lets the reader feel as if he were sitting at the feet of an elder. The lively stories provide authentic glimpses of Native culture, history, and customs from historical periods long past that continue to inform the present. Unlike other folk tale collections, here the emphasis is on love and romance -- but always within a cultural context and never sentimental. Although it is difficult to obtain love stories from American Indians, author Herman Grey, an elder from the Mohave tribe, was fortunate to acquire these stories when he was a young man from friends representing various tribes including the Pima, Tohono O’odham, Apache, Hopi and Navajo.

BIGFOOT ENCOUNTERS IN OHIO
: Quest for the Grassman
[Christopher L Murphy in Association with Joedy Cook & George Clappison]
Numerous reports of a strange ape-like creature continue to emanate from Ohio's vast rural and forested areas. Now commonly known as bigfoot, the creature is mainly seen in farming communities as it obviously searches for easy food. Large humanlike footprints in cornfields, pasture lands and woodland trails provide tangible evidence of its passage. Joedy Cook and George Clappison have spent almost twenty years investigating the bigfoot phenomenon in Ohio and other eastern states. The information they have gathered on Ohio incidents is presented in this thought-provoking book by Chris Murphy, an author and bigfoot researcher in British Columbia, Canada. While most scientists still reject the possible existence of bigfoot, this book will leave you in awe as to why more is not being done to resolve what is surely North America’s greatest mystery. Originally published in 1997 under a different title, the Murphy, Cook, Clappison team has completely revised and updated the work. Many new sightings have been documented and numerous photographs and illustrations have been added. The book has had a complete makeover, with the provision of more and better information on all aspects of the remarkable bigfoot phenomenon in the State of Ohio. Ohio ranks sixth in North America in the number of bigfoot-related incidents by state or province. The details provided in this book give a clear understanding of just how widespread the phenomenon is in Ohio. The astounding eye-witness accounts will convince even the most ardent sceptics that the bigfoot issue has gone far beyond legend and wilful fabrications.

COMBAT HISTORY OF GERMAN TIGER TANK BATTALION 503 IN WORLD WAR II
[Franz-Wilhelm Lochmann & Richard Freiherr von Rosen]
This book tells -- with first-hand accounts as well as numerous, never-seen-before photographs -- the combat history of German Tiger Tank Battalion 503, the senior Tiger battalion of the German Army, equipped with both the Tiger I and the King Tiger. The battalion saw action in the attempted relief of Stalingrad, the tremendous tank engagements at Kursk, and the bitter fighting to relieve German units encircled at the Tscherkassy Pocket. It then defended against the Allies in Normandy in 1944, and ended the war with desperate fighting in Hungary and Austria.

COMPREHENSIBLE COSMOS
: Where Do the Laws of Physics Come From?
[Victor J Stenger]
In a series of remarkable developments in the 20th century and continuing into the 21st, elementary particle physicists, astronomers, and cosmologists have removed much of the mystery that surrounds our understanding of the physical universe. We now have mathematical models that are consistent with all observational data, including measurements of incredible precision, and we have a good understanding of why those models take the form they do. Although current theories will probably be superseded by better, more detailed theories as science continues to advance, the great success of contemporary models makes it likely that scientists are on the right track. In short, the cosmos is undoubtedly comprehensible. For those fascinated by how physics explains the universe and affects philosophy, Stenger's in-depth presentation, complete with an appendix of mathematical formulas, makes accessible to lay readers findings normally available only to professional scientists.

: Tracing the Feminine Myth Through the Western Imagination
[Nancy Cater]
Represents the first sustained attempt to articulate from a Jungian perspective the relevance of the Greek mythic figure of Electra to the psychology of contemporary young girls and women. Describing Electra as a dark puella identified with Saturn, trapped in mourning for her lost father and hatred of her mother, Cater explores how this myth may appear in the lives of women today and how they may deepen their understanding of it.

ELVIS' DNA PROVES HE'S ALIVE
[Bill Beeny]
REVIEW: "Having done radio shows for over thirty years, it is my job to know what goes on around me. When I heard that one of the ‘big’ stations from St. Louis was coming to Wright City in 1992, I couldn't help but be curious. I showed up and my life changed forever. Up to this point I never considered whether Elvis was alive or dead. Bill Beeny convinced me that Elvis Presley was very much alive. I took an instant liking to Beeny. He didn't rant or rave. He just made his points by presenting his evidence with respectful conviction. Now I know that Elvis faked his death and that he is still alive. After reading this book, you will draw the same conclusions." -- Buffalo Jody.

ENCYCLOPEDIC SOURCEBOOK OF SATANISM
[James R Lewis & Jesper Aagaard Petersen (eds)]
In the public imagination Satanism is associated with bizarre rituals, perverse hedonistic lifestyles, heavy metal music, immature adolescents acting out, horror movies, and rumours of ritual abuse. But what are the facts behind the urban legends and the 'moral panics' that periodically sweep the country regarding this countercultural phenomenon? This authoritative reference work gathers together scholarly studies of Satanism and original source material, focusing on two major aspects -- organised religious Satanism and the Satanic Ritual Abuse hoax that was prevalent in the 1980s and early 1990s. The contributors first examine modern Satanism, a decentralised movement whose only coherence is based on certain themes that date back to the writings of Anton Szandor LaVey, especially his Satanic Bible. Among other factors, the authors discuss how the emergence of the Internet as a form of communication has created some coherence among disparate groups through cross-reference. Many articles are devoted to the Satanic Ritual Abuse scare, an erroneous belief in a vast underground network of Satanists who were abusing children. For years members of the law enforcement community and numerous therapists, encouraged by the hype of mass media, bought into this panic. Other topics include the role of the media in the perceptions of Satanism and Satanic Ritual Abuse, juvenile delinquency and Satanism, and police pursuit of satanic crime. The volume concludes with primary source material, including a report from the Ritual Abuse Task Force and selections from current Satanism groups. This objective reference work will be useful for professionals in many fields and members of the public interested in sorting out the facts from the myths surrounding this controversial subculture.

EVOLVING BRAIN
: The Known & the Unknown
[R Grant Steen PhD]
The human brain is arguably the most complex object in the universe. With about 100 billion neurons, each of which makes perhaps 10,000 synapses, our incredible central processing unit is capable of roughly 1,000 trillion interconnections. What do scientists know about how this amazingly complex organ functions? Is it even possible to unravel all of its mysteries? In this comprehensive book on the science of the brain, distinguished neurophysiologist R. Grant Steen provides us with a crash course on how the brain works. As a researcher on the forefront of brain studies, Dr Steen explores the latest findings on a host of topics: Consciousness, unconsciousness, and brain death; Learning, memory, and role of genes; Motivation, aggression, and the range of emotions; The plasticity of the growing brain; Mental illness and treatment. He also delves into such stimulating questions as: Where does creativity come from? What is personality? Can we distinguish between the brain and the mind? Impressive in breadth and depth, yet written with clarity in an engaging, non-technical style, this fascinating tour of the brain provides the general reader with the latest information on one of the most intriguing and burgeoning areas of scientific research. No topic has more meaning or relevance than using our brains to understand the working of our own minds.
REVIEW: "...superbly describe[s] breakthroughs in basic neurobiology, debunk[s] ‘intelligent design,’ and both argue[s] and demonstrate[s] the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration to address issues such as consciousness, creativity, and self-knowledge. Well-written and informative, The Evolving Brain is recommended to a broad audience, including students...as well as established clinicians and researches wishing to see the larger panorama within which their work resides...I found this book to be a tour de force." -- Psychiatric Services magazine, Vol. 58, No. 11, November 2007

FERTILITY GODDESSES, GROUNDHOG BELLIES & THE COCA-COLA COMPANY
: The Origins of Modern Holidays
[Gabriella Kalapos]
Year after year, many of us perform holiday rituals with little or no understanding of what they mean or what purpose they serve. How and why did these special days originate? Why do we observe Groundhog Day, and what does it have to do with the Virgin Mary and menstruation? What connects May Day and Roman prostitutes? Where did Valentine’s Day come from -- did the greeting card, chocolate, and florist companies create it, or is there something original, pure, and maybe even carnal about it? This book explores why humans have a need to mark certain days of the year, and uncovers the roots of our modern holiday rituals. Author Gabriella Kalapos digs through mythology, history, politics, and psychology to discover the elusive origins and meanings of many of our favourite celebrations. She connects them to the cycles of nature and the human psyche, and reveals how these holidays have been changed and manipulated over time to serve certain religious, political, and/or commercial causes.

GENUINE FREEDOM
[Matt Engelman]
Are you free? Can you answer that question with a 'yes' or a 'no'; or is freedom really a question of degree? For example: are you exactly as free as the people you know, or are some people 'more free' than other people? How free do you have to be (50% free?; 90% free?) before you can accurately claim that you are, in summary, 'free'? With compassion, but without compromise, Engelman invites us to question the prevailing assumption that we are already (and permanently) free. He guides us on a journey; starting with our contemporary society, and progressing toward the enlightened civilisation which we have the power to create. With passion and integrity, the author relates his personal spiritual ascension from fear and isolation -- toward freedom and love in his daily experience. Our shared ascension, he argues, begins with our commitment to the truth; and thereafter, we develop new sociological paradigms based on respect and equality. Our sustained commitment to the truth guides us toward the redundancy of power-centres; and a new, advanced civilisation celebrating abundance, creativity, and genuine freedom.

GHOSTS
: More Eerie Encounters
[Robert C Belyk]
The spirit of a young woman haunts the house across the road from where she died. Construction workers restoring an old theatre evoke the anger of a resident ghost. Footsteps on the stairs and phone calls from beyond the grave are items on the menu of ghostly happenings at a premier restaurant. The smell of cigar smoke and the sound of footsteps announce the presence of a hotel's former owner. The growl of an unseen animal terrifies employees of a neighbourhood pub. And mysterious chanting, tripped alarms and the appearance of a phantom monk add to an arts centre's reputation as one of Canada's most haunted places. These are only a few of the stories recounted by Robert C Belyk in this sequel to his popular book Ghosts: True Tales of Eerie Encounters. This absorbing collection of spooky tales and baffling experiences is sure to entertain even the most sceptical of readers.

GOETIA OF DR RUDD
: The Angels & Demons of Liber Malorum Spirituum seu Goetia
[Stephen Skinner & David Rankine]
The Goetia is the most famous grimoire after the Key of Solomon. This volume contains a transcription of a hitherto unpublished manuscript of the Lemegeton which includes four whole grimoires: Liber Malorum Spituum seu Goetia; Theurgia-Goetia; Ars Paulina (Books 1 & 2); Ars Almadel. This was owned by Dr Thomas Rudd, a practising scholar-magician of the early seventeenth century. There are many editions of the Goetia, of which the most definitive is that of Joseph Peterson, but here we are interested in how the Goetia was actually used by practising magicians in the 16th and 17th century, before the knowledge of practical magic faded into obscurity. To evoke the 72 demons listed here without the ability to bind them would be foolhardy indeed. It was well known in times past that invocatio and ligatio, or binding, was a key part of evocation, but in the modern editions of the Goetia this key technique is expressed in just one word 'Shemhamaphorash', and its use is not explained. This volume explains how the 72 angels of the Shem ha-Mephorash are used to bind the spirits, and the correct procedure for safely invoking them using special seals incorporating the necessary controlling angel, whose name is also engraved on the breastplate and Brass Vessel.

GREAT CAVERN OF THE WINDS
: Tales from Backbone Mountain
[Denise Moynahan]
Inspired by the picturesque Backbone Mountain in the Appalachians, this gathering of myths and fables creates its own imaginative world. Short stories that draw on Native American folklore and rich, Tolkien-style universes tell of the adventures of the Alyphanties -- the little mountain people -- who once lived in caves on the mountain. Each chapter follows a different character, including Malik, the north wind; Esseldorph, the storyteller; Bardof, the magical hunter; and Nephod, the flute player. Perfect for lovers of folk tales or fantasy and aimed at readers of all ages, this collection of new fairy tales invokes a time and place that is familiar, yet exists just beyond this world.

JESUS THE SORCERER
: Exorcist & Prophet of the Apocalypse
[Robert Conner]
The most complete summation to date of the New Testament evidence for magical practice by Jesus and the early Christians. The very notion of Jesus being a sorcerer runs so against the grain of the Western cultural myth that even non-Christians are likely to find it far-fetched or even vaguely disturbing. Nevertheless, scholars steadily accumulated evidence for magi-cal practices in the New Testament throughout much of the 20th century . It is that ever expanding body of knowledge that has made this book possible. This book examines the following: The nature of the earliest Christian documents, the defects of their transmission, and the evidence for the suppression of descriptions of magical acts. The closely related problem of the New Testament accounts as historical sources. The radically apocalyptic nature of Jesus' message and the expectations of the early church. The failure of the apocalypse to occur and the theological reaction to that failure. The role of magic and mystery religion in early Christianity. A revisiting of the story of the 'beloved disciple' and what it may tell us about Jesus and suppression of evidence about his life.

KEY TO SOLOMON'S KEY
: Secrets of Magic & Masonry
[Lon Milo DuQuette]
Sketching out a fascinating network of historic figures, cults, and Christendom, this book by an occult studies expert and respected authority on magic and sorcery takes western spiritual traditions seriously -- but examines them with common sense and self-effacing humour. Working backward from the Freemasons to one of their original orders, the 14th-century Knights Templar, the account considers sorcery, heresy, and intrigues; explores the legend that the Knights possessed a powerful secret dangerous to the Church of Rome; and finds an essential clue to the order's practices in their connection to the biblical Solomon, king of Israel in the 10th century BC.
REVIEW: "Learn the Masonic teaching by which the human spirit may be elevated - without ignoring either historical or scientific fact." -- James Wasserman, author of The Templars and the Assassins: Militia of Heaven. "This intriguing look at intersections between Freemasonry and the Western magical traditions will be sure to evoke outrage from many quarters, but it poses crucial questions that deserve close attention from Masons, magicians, and anyone else concerned with the nature of religion and reality in a post-Christian age." -- John Michael Greer, 32nd degree, author of Inside a Magical Lodge, The New Encyclopedia of the Occult and A World Full of Gods.

MAGDALENE MANDALA
: A Novel
[Michael Bradley]
Bradley is back! Michael Bradley, author of the critically acclaimed 'Swords at Sunset' and other non-fiction books on the Holy Grail (he was a researcher for The Da Vinci Code movie), has now written his first novel since the 1970s, when 'Imprint' and 'The Mantouche Factor' together sold more than half-a-million copies. Now the long fiction drought is over with the release of a new novel: 'The Magdalene Mandala' draws on Bradley's enviable reputation as a Holy Grail expert to lend authenticity to a plot that twists and turns at a rapid pace, bringing together murder and intrigue, political cover-ups, the Grail... and Mary Magdalene. Added to this intoxicating literary mix are detailed descriptions of ingenious low-tech survivalist devices.

MOUNTAIN MYSTERIES
: The Mystic Traditions of Appalachia
[Larry Thacker]
A near-obsessive pursuit of ghost stories and odd superstitions cranks up this serious study of Appalachian tales of the supernatural and their origin in both old-world customs and real historical events. An effort to preserve and record one aspect of a dying way of life, the book relies on interviews and historic documents to search for the facts behind local lore of murder, witchcraft, and weird hauntings. Several campfire-worthy ghost stories are recounted in their entirety -- including The Swinging Gate of Fern Lake Hollow -- and an unexpectedly large number of stories about aliens and UFOs provide an interesting comparison of three-century-old mysteries and those stirred up in comparatively recent times

MYSTERIES & SECRETS OF TIME
: Time Warps, Time Travel, Reincarnation & Deja Vu
[Lionel Fanthorpe & Patricia Fanthorpe]
This fascinating work begins with a scientific appraisal of time and its relationship with 3D space. It explains in clear, understandable language, the complex theories of such famous men as Newton, Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. Is time infinite, or does it have a beginning and an end? Do Black Holes and White Vortices distort time, or penetrate it? The authors also analyse and evaluate puzzling, well documented reports of time travel and reincarnation, and strange cases of déjà vu. Can time travel account for such anachronistic discoveries as a 20th century sparkplug found encased among fossils half a million years old? Finally, the authors bring all the unsolved time-related mysteries together in a unified field theory that suggests an awesome answer to the mysteries of time-travel and reincarnation.

MYSTIQUE OF CONSPIRACY
: Oswald, Castro, & the CIA
[Brian K Bugge]
'The Mystique of Conspiracy' delves into the mystery surrounding the JFK assassination. It focuses mainly on anti-Castro Cuban exiles and their relationship with the CIA, but it also offers an excellent framework to gauge the 'plausibility' of any conspiracy theory. Unique to this work is the offer included at the back of the book to involve the reader in an online exchange with the author. The author, an online Professor of criminal justice at the University of Phoenix, will guide the reader/student into formulating his or her own credible approach to solving the nagging mystery behind the JFK assassination (or any conspiracy theory they are interested in). Also compelling is the Foreword and personal letters included in the Appendix written to the author in 1978 by David Atlee Phillips, former CIA Western Hemisphere Division Chief. Mr. Phillips passed away in 1988, but many have tried to link him directly to a CIA plot to assassinate JFK utilising anti-Castro Cuban exiles. A new name in the annals of the JFK assassination is CIA covert operative George Joannides. Mr. Joannides passed away in 1999, but his role in directing a group of anti-Castro Cuban exiles who had contact with the assassin in New Orleans several months before the assassination has never been made public up until now. As recent as 2005 the CIA went to court and blocked the release of any documents on George Joannides. David Atlee Phillips was Mr. Joannides' supervisor in the CIA. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the 'mystique' surrounding conspiracy theories, whether it is JFK, RFK, MLK, Princess Diana, 9/11 or Russian defector Alexander Litvinenko, killed in London by radioactive polonium 210. There is a common thread that runs through them all. The author will reveal what that is.

NARRATING, DOING, EXPERIENCING
: Nordic Folkloristic Perspectives
[Annikki Kaivola-Bregenhoj, Barbro Klein & Ulf Palmenfelt]
How do people tell of experiences, things and events that mean a lot to them and are unforgettable? Eight Nordic folklorists here examine personal experience stories and the way they are narrated in an attempt to gain an understanding of the people behind them and to reveal how these people handle their history, their lives and their cultural memory. All the articles are based on interviews and narrator-researcher collaboration. The stories tell about birth, sickness and miraculous cures, intergenerational relations, war, and matters not normally talked about. The analyses complement one another and the work may be used as a university course book.

NORTHERN GNOSIS
: Thor, Baldr & the Volsungs in the Thought of Freud & Jung
[Greg Mogenson]
C.G. Jung regarded psychology to be a modern form of myth. Shaped by archetypal structures, psychological theories, he maintained, do not simply explain our psychic life in the manner of a science, they also give expression to the soul. Inspired by this insight, the present book examines the writings of Freud and Jung in the light of Norse mythology. Ideas such as psychic reality, ego-ideal, participation mystique, and kinship libido are seen as mythological figures, the figures of Thor, Baldr, and the Volsungs. Illumined in this way, the founding texts of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology are shown to be a veritable pantheon of God-terms. Jung’s theory of the archetype is read as a variant of the old stories concerning Thor’s encounters with the giants. Freud’s theories of a death instinct, repetition compulsion, mourning and the ego-ideal are read as a variant to the tale of Baldr’s death. And the fractious relations of Freud, Jung and Sabina Spielrein are seen as reflecting the saga of the Volsungs. Imaginative and scholarly, Northern Gnosis will be valued by the psychoanalytic reader for its fresh appreciation of Freud and Jung as makers of the myths that continue to inform our minds.

PAN'S ROAD
[Mogg Morgan]
The ancient hungry stones of Coptos in Upper Egypt have soaked up the stories of the inhabitants along with their blood. When archaeologists unearth a magician's box in the rubble of an ancient Egyptian tomb, it propels Jay into a supernatural journey across space and time. She merges with the mysterious Zenobia, a native of ancient Coptos. Zenobia and her family are fleeing from the advancing Roman armies that are returning to their Egyptian frontier bent on punishing its rebellious citizens. The only escape from the frying pan of Coptos is into the fire of the Eastern desert. Their journey on Pan's Road is fraught with new dangers but also new possibilities, as the protagonists are led to the heart of an ancient mystery in the lost city of Ombos -- Citadel of Seth, the Egyptian god of Chaos.

PHARMAKON
: Drugs & the Imagination
[Julian Vayne]
Ranging across both published and anecdotal evidence, 'Pharmakon' traces the story of drug use as a means of self-exploration. By examining apparently simple questions such as 'what is a drug?', 'Pharmakon' deconstructs and reconstructs the idea of drug experience. Experiences that the author believes are fundamental to the process of self-actualisation and learning. Julian Vayne is an occultist who has written on a number of esoteric subjects (witchcraft, the tarot and the sociology of contemporary Paganism). This book is aimed at both the general reader and those who are interested in the use of drugs in a spiritual context. Delving into areas as diverse as philosophy and neurochemistry, this is a book that in both style and content seeks to invent a new understanding of drugs in culture.

POSSESSED BY GHOSTS
: Exorcisms in the 21st Century
[Wanda Pratnicka]
The book is aimed at all readers not just those who are interested in the esoteric. It introduces accessibly and surprisingly clearly the causes of the toxic relationships that arise between people and ghosts. It contains a large dose of psychology of the soul, testimony to the author's spiritual maturity. Ghosts are the souls of people who, after the death of their physical body, have not resolved to pass through to the other side of death's curtain. The reason for that is that, for various reasons, they overlooked their own deaths, didn't have the courage to go through to the other side or were detained or even pulled away from their road by those mourning the souls of their near ones. When they remain in the world of the living they possess people which can be the cause of very unpleasant and sometimes even tragic experiences. Starting with the mildest -- the presence of ghosts in a person causes severe mood swings ranging from powerful explosions of negative energy to deep depressions. They bring out severe states of anxiety, they tempt those possessed to commit suicide, they have a powerful influence on the psyche and are the cause of psychiatric illnesses. In addition, the diseases of the dead person very often transfer through the ghost to the person possessed. Wanda Pratnicka is an exorcist and psychotherapist of world renown. Over the past thirty years she has helped many thousands of patients throughout the world.

RETURN OF PLANET-X
: Wormwood
[Jaysen Q Rand PhD]
An educational, informational source examining all aspects of this controversial subject including the record of X's Ancient Science of Prophecy, its Phantom Astronomy, Forbidden Archaeology and the Signs Of Its Approach. This book examines the history and prophecy of Earth's many cultures throughout the millennia and their voluminous references to the reality of X's periodic passages. The most current hypothesis used to examine X's next return through the solar system centres around the fact that X's extended orbit (approximately every 3,600 years -- first passing through the solar system then back out again), suggests that its 'destructive cycle' occurs in two phases. The 'first phase' begins with X's initial pass-through in 2009 separated by three years until its 'second phase.' This passage marks X's return leg back into deep space beginning again its 3,600-year-long trek through the heavens. X's last return visit through the solar system most likely coincided with the Hebrew's exodus from Egypt estimated around 1447 BC -- roughly 3,459 years ago. Did God somehow come to Moses' aid by staging a cosmic event that no one today understands? The Mayan Celestial Calendar Codex inexplicably ends 21 December 2012. According to ancient Mayan cosmology, 'time' as we know it on Earth will reach its climax on that date. Written across the scroll of time and space, the author believes Planet-X will first return in 2009 and again in 2012.

SASQUATCH, 2ND EDITION
: The Apes Among Us
[John Green]
With the explosion of knowledge taking place in recent decades, scientists are constantly discovering that things they have been certain about are wrong: the continents they thought had been in place forever actually drift around; the cells we are made of are not simple but infinitely complex; our genus has been on Earth many times longer than they thought. And increasingly there is compelling evidence that scientists are wrong about our living relatives. One thing considered certain was that the giants and wild men in stories from all over the world are entirely imaginary. Now that belief is under serious challenge. Forty-five years ago giant footprints found in northern California brought Bigfoot to the attention of many revived interest in Canada's Sasquatch. Every year since then additional evidence has accumulated, and now that witnesses can submit information via the internet the trickle of reports has become a flood. John Green has been in the thick of things from the beginning. In 'Sasquatch, The Apes Among Us', first published in 1978, he sampled the evidence from the earliest records up the late 1970s and from all around the world, then concentrated on two aspects of the subject: the nature of the animal described and the wealth of reports from parts of North America outside the Pacific Northwest. When it came out 'The Apes Among Us' was acclaimed as the definitive work on the fascinating subject of whether humans share North America with a giant bipedal primate that is unknown to science. Since then evidence for the existence of that unknown primate has grown exponentially, and individual scientists have written books about aspects of it. Remarkably, however, to most of the scientific world the evidence remains unknown and unexplored, and for those who do follow the subject this is still the definitive book.

SCIENCE OF EVOLUTION & THE MYTH OF CREATIONISM
: Knowing What's Real & Why It Matters
[Ardea Skybreak]
This clear, lively, and systematic presentation examines the scientific evidence for evolution and reaches for the widest possible audience -- from scientific minds to those with no science background at all. Forcefully rejecting creationist objections to evolution and including a critique of Intelligent Design, it argues that they are part of a larger social agenda. With discussion that celebrates the fascination to be found in studying the diversity and complexity of life, this examination suggests with some urgency that the science of evolution is crucial to the existence of science itself.
REVIEW: "...stands out because it is so well written, concise, and comprehensive. It is accessible to the general reader and uncompromising in its logic and accuracy in presenting scientific concepts." -- Kevin Padian, Professor of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley. "This book will be of tremendous benefit to many..." -- Richard Leakey.

SHADOWS OF EXISTENCE
: Discoveries & Speculations in Zoology
[Christopher Murphy]
The age of zoological discovery has not passed. Every year, spectacular and exciting new species are being located and classified, adding to our knowledge of the animal kingdom. New whales, deer, snakes, sharks, and birds are just some of the creatures we have learned about in the past decade. Moreover, the seas and forests continue to conceal unsolved mysteries of zoology. Are there undiscovered big cats and unclassified apes hidden in the world's forests? Do large animals of unknown type lurk in deep lakes or in the oceans? The discoveries, rediscoveries, controversies, and mysteries of modern zoology are collected here in "Shadows of Existence", a thoroughly researched and up to date guide to the wonders of nature.

The roots of coincidence and conspiracy in American politics, crime, and culture are investigated in this examination of the connections between religion, political conspiracy, and occultism. Readers are presented with startling connections between Nobel Prize -- winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli, Carl Jung, and synchronicity; serial killers, multiple personality disorder, and demonic possession; and magic, surrealism, and mind control. Not a work of speculative history, this exposé is founded on primary source material and historical documents. Fascinating secrets are divulged involving Hollywood icons such as Marilyn Monroe, David Lynch, and Jane Fonda as well as links between the Cotton Club murders, the Bluegrass conspiracy, and the Son of Sam cult.

SLAVE SPECIES OF GOD
: The Story of Humankind from the Cradle of Humankind
[Michael Tellinger]
Were humans created by "God" as SLAVES? Was Abraham the first human SPY? Was Jesus an accidental MESSIAH? The author takes readers on a remarkable odyssey of the true origins of humankind in which he: draws clear and startling analogies between new discoveries in genetic engineering and ancient archaeological finds...; highlights emerging scientific information overlooked in the past...; unravels the Bible's often obscure stories by linking these to their original forms in Sumerian clay tablets and other pre-historic writings..; provides explicit answers to why our modern world has become so senseless and chaotic by revealing the very secrets of our prehistory... While shattering myths about evolution and God, Michael Tellinger's "Slave Species of God" enables evolutionists and creationists to finally co-exist in one pond. The arguments are compelling, simple and refreshing, retracing the path of human evolution from the murky distant past to the religious dogma that haunts humankind today. The question of who we are and where we come from takes on a new meaning as we discover that our DNA may have been manipulated by our CREATOR some 200,000 years ago to produce a less intelligent 'primitive species'.

SPANDAU MYSTERY
[Peter Moon]
This is a remarkable look into the intrigue surrounding the mysterious death of Rudolph Hess and why hundreds of millions of pounds a year were spent to keep him from having any communication with the outside world. This not only includes his association with the Vril flying saucers and Antarctica but other aspects of his legacy that have gone unnoticed. Told in the context of a historical novel, Peter Moon also fills in missing pieces of the Montauk saga by adding time travel to the mix and connecting dots that have previously been overlooked. This includes a look at three notable people who all lived in Egypt at the same time: Noble Drew Ali, Aleister Crowley, and Rudolph Hess. Directed by Tibetan elders, the Germans sought to harness the Vril, an energy so powerful that it can change the very nature of the elements themselves. To succeed, however, a major change was required in the evolutionary development of the human species. A dramatic scenario of events unfolded, however, which not only ensured that this endeavour was sabotaged but included an undertaking designed to prevent humanity from ever discovering its ancient heritage and the secrets of the Vril. It was against this backdrop that two of the most colourful characters of World War II, Rudolph Hess and George S. Patton, became immersed in an age old battle involving the legions of light and darkness. The end of World War II precipitated more intrigue and struggle for power than the war itself. Much of this centred around the secret projects sponsored by Rudolph Hess which included not only the Antarctic project but the construction of Vril flying saucers. Patton’s job, as the war came to a close, was to recover the secret technology of the Germans and safeguard it for American use. After accomplishing his mission and compiling a German history of the war, General Patton was killed in a dubious accident, the mystery of which has never been solved and has been magnified by government refusal to declassify the file on the investigation of his death. Far more conspicuous and powerful than Patton was Rudolph Hess, the Deputy Führer of Germany, who flew to England in 1941 as an envoy of peace and was imprisoned for life and suspiciously killed just before his imminent release. The current of intrigue and power which permeated these two individuals and led to their downfall was the same current which led to a repatriation of the U.S. Government and an undermining of a constitutional government that is run by and for the people. Besides technology, much of this intrigue centred around the banking files the Nazis confiscated from the Freemasons. The effort to keep this secret is still a factor in today’s politics. It was thus that Patton and Hess wore different uniforms but shared common interests and held within their grasp a force so powerful that, if harnessed, it might raise the ancient civilisation of Atlantis itself. It was for this power that both were killed and so begins our mystery.

TALES OF NASREDDIN KHOJA
: 181 Mulla Nasreddin Stories
[Henry D Barnham]
Mulla Nasreddin, as he is known the Persian speaking world, is a humorous witty character that goes by different names in different cultures. Iranians, Arabs and Turks still bicker about who he was and where he was from. Though Mulla Nasreddin originated in the Middle East half a millennia ago, the popularity of his stories is such that they have travelled and settled down in places as diverse as China, Russia, Sweden, India, Malaysia, the Balkans and Portugal. What can be said is that the Mulla is a universal character on which are framed various humorous, philosophical, moral or pedagogic anecdotes. The main players of these whimsical vignettes are the Mulla, his donkey and his wife. A Mulla Nasreddin anecdote is often used to emphasise a point. Most may read a funny story. However, in the same tale, a Sufi may see multiple strands of mystic meaning and a revolutionary will see the idea of resistance to authority. Depending on the reader and the time, Nasreddin may be more of a wise man, a jester, a rebel or a philosopher. The stories of the Mulla have passed by word of mouth from generation to generation for centuries, during which they have been added to, polished or changed with the period and circumstances. They were probably first written down some time in the nineteenth century. Here is a collection of 181 of the funniest and best known Mulla Nasreddin stories.

TOWERS OF DECEPTION
: The Media Cover-Up of 9/11
[Barrie Zwicker]
Book & DVD. A dozen carefully-researched books have exposed the official story of 9/11 to be a terror fraud. Yet the mainstream media have monolithically failed to ask elementary questions about anomalies in this story. So-called alternative media have been little better. "Towers of Deception" explains why and prescribes actions to break out the truth. Authored by a lifelong journalist who was for 35 years a media critic, the book provides 26 "Exhibits" of evidence proving "beyond a reasonable doubt" that 9/11 was an inside job. It then presents case histories of de facto censorship by mainstream media and examines the psychological phenomenon of denial. "False flag" operations and psychological warfare are dealt with in detail, as is the "Invisible Government" -- the powers pulling strings behind the scenes. Following a profile of Dr. David Ray Griffin as an authentic prophet of the 9-11 Truth movement, "Towers of Deception" urges people to speak truth to power and challenge all media. Interspersed with photographs, diary entries and inspiring profiles of those who see 9/11 Truth as the Achilles Heel of the neocon agenda, "Towers of Deception" includes a professional quality DVD produced by the author: "The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw".

URANTIA
: The Great Cult Mystery
[Martin Gardner]
Published in 1955 under the direction of psychiatrist William Sadler, The Urantia Book is the largest and most sophisticated work of New Age literature ever produced. This massive tome of is believed by devotees to be a revelation to our world, which is allegedly called "Urantia" in the language of the unseen higher beings credited with inspiring the book. Unlike other channelled "bibles", The Urantia Book contains a vast amount of modern science as well as an extensive biography of Jesus Christ, filled with details not found in the Gospels. Well-known sceptic and acclaimed popular science writer Martin Gardner presents a complete history of the Urantia movement, from its beginnings in the early 20th century to the present day. In addition to providing an outline of the Urantia cult's worldview, Gardner presents strong evidence to establish the identity of the man whose trance-like orations formed the basis of the book. Gardner also analyses the flaws in Urantian science and points out many instances of plagiarism in various sections of the book. In a new postscript to this paperback edition, Gardner details recent developments in the Urantia movement, corrects some errors in the original edition, and responds to critical reactions from Urantia believers to his sceptical perspective on the book and the movement. Although there are other histories of The Urantia Book, this is the only one written by a sceptic. Anyone interested in the New Age, cults, or the development of new religions will find much fascinating material in Gardner's thorough overview.
