I thought I saw this deck being used in the film ‘The Help’!

Magicians of the Gods

 
Circle Network Book Review: Magicians of the Gods - The Forgotten Wisdom of the Earth's Lost Civilisation by Graham Hancock published by Hodder Books £9.99 paperback 592 pages with many colour plates 

This is the sequel to the International Bestseller 'Fingerprints of the Gods' which excited me, and on account of this, and his other books, I became interested in this British author's work.

Nicholas Hagger Autobiography

My Double Life 1 ‘This Dark Wood – A Journey into Light’ 650 page paperback: £25.99 Kindle: £11.99 and 'My Double Life 2 - A Rainbow Over the Hills’ 2,000 page paperback and Kindle £11.99 by Nicholas Hagger. Published by John Hunt Publishing. www.nicholashagger.co.uk

This is a two volume autobiography by Nicholas Hagger, a well- known intellectual and educator. Unlike most autobiographies that are written by a ‘ghost’ writer, this is written by Nicholas Hagger himself. From being employed as  tutor to Hirohito's son, to witnessing the Gadaffi revolution first hand, the author fought gainst communism and possibly contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall - this is a personal history full of wonder, excitement and insight. It is not a life without problems but the author believes that difficulties lead to greater understanding of life, so there was no shying away from reporting the most personal of events.  

 

Sheep by Alan Butler

Circle Network Book Review: Sheep – The remarkable story of the humble animal that built the modern world by Alan Butler, paperback 212 pages, £9.99, published by O Books

This book has enhanced my appreciation of this extraordinary animal that has offered humanity not only milk, meat and leather, but precious wool to make textiles over the course of thousands of years. This creature has created trade across nations, created huge industries and supported the wealth of magnates, church and royalty. The book includes breeding information, how cloth was made throughout the ages, important people and places. There are a billion sheep in world today, still working for humanity and asking for very little maintenance in return. No wonder the author devoted an entire book to their history, mythology and value to the human race.  Where would we be if there were no sheep on planet Earth?

Crystal & Gem Book Review

Mind Body & Soul Ezine Book Review: Crystal & Gem, an Eyewitness series book by Dorling Kindersley, in association with the Natural History Museum.

Dorling Kindersley never fail to present first class information. Here we have high quality, full colour photographs for easy recognition of the most select of natural crystalline rocks. All are beautifully profiled with information that includes classifications, identifications, major varieties and collections, e.g., Quartz, diamond, beryl, opal, etc., with a section on metals, traditions, etc. A useful glossary at the back is provided. Don't miss it! It will make a perfect gift for those who love gemstones, or to add to your library of the Earth's most wonderful treasures!

The Master, The Raven and The Ageless Teapot Review

Circle Network Book Review: The Master, The Raven, and The Ageless Teapot - And All Because of the Letter by Denise McDermott-King, paperback published by Axis Munda Books, £9.99 141 pages, Author website: www.dmdking.com

This is the follow up book to McDermott-King's first, titled 'The Master, The Lover and Me'. Having not read the first, I found this was an adequate 'stand alone' book which can be appreciated in its own right. The author is knowledgeable about Theosophy and related esoteric subjects which provide the basis of recent interest in the communication with spirit guides. It is however, a very ancient philosophy that she has accessed for these two books.

Life After Death & The Afterlife Book Reviews

SoulCollage Evolving

Circle Network Book Review: "SoulCollage® Evolving: An Intuitive Collage Process for Self Discovery and Community" by Seena B Frost, published by Hanford Mead Publishers, paperback £20.69

The author, Seena B Frost, has excellent credentials with both theology and psychology qualifications. She presents a fascinating method of contacting the wisdom of the inner self by way of using self selected images that are cut and pasted onto board to facilitate what I call a "channelled" message. The cards can be created and their hidden wisdom accessed, either alone, on a one to one basis with a Facilitator, or in a group setting. Various methods of working with the card creation are suggested in order to achieve greater self growth and self understanding. You can create individual cards or a set of cards which can reveal areas of the personality which need healing, such as in bereavement, addiction, dream interpretation, or at times of high risk. Archetypes can be accessed and their messages delivered, such as the Warrior, Wounded Healer, Witch, Creator, Great Mother, etc. A journal is suggested of insights and collections made of cards, such as Chakra cards, etc. This is the standard source book for this foundation which also hosts international online communities and courses, such as Facilitator training. (No special qualifications are required for the Facilitator except the SoulCollage (R) training.) The book has won awards for conscious living and social change and is well worth reading, but to get the best understanding of the process, there is no substitute for the experience of cutting and pasting to create an image - and then speaking from the picture you have produced.

SoulCollage is a registered trade mark and is shown with a (R) to denote this. Review by Wendy Stokes Visit www.wendystokes.co.uk

Step-by-Step Reiki

The author lives in Bucks in the UK and learnt the occult arts from Olive Cox, who was born and bred in a gypsy caravan.

The Hobbit Tarot Review

The Healing Handbook Review

Circle Network Book Review: The Healing Handbook - A Spiritual Guide to Healing Yourself and Others by Tara Ward, spiral bound, published by Arcturus.

Techniques and tools here for all aspects of healing, including information on chakras, relaxation, self assessment, releasing anger and resentment, physical healing, creating a healing sanctuary, increasing sensitivity, developing intuition, spiritual protection, absent healing, pendulums, crystals, colour, sound, massage, cutting ties, etc. Very general and simply written.

Twist of Fate Board Game

Circle Network Card Deck Review: Twist of Fate - The Art of Divination with Playing Cards using the Master Method in Cartomancy, Researched and Produced by D J Brennan, Co-written by Bev Osborne, with artwork by Chris Bohanna, published by In Touch Group Inc.

This is a large presentation box containing a folded board upon which the playing cards are placed to aid readings. An information leaflet describes how to use the board with the playing card deck provided. Interpretation sheets are also provided and an example of a reading.

The game is for those over the age of 15. It can be used for readings fir oneself, or the reader can read for an enquirer. Up to 4 sitters can play at one time.  There is a 9 card reading suggested, and a 'Will My Wish Come True' spread.

I think some experience with reading playing cards is required to use this game, as it is not immediately apparrant how to get a reading beyond a few short sentences,  I recommend a more in depth book on each of the playing card interpretations as this would justify the expense of the board.

The Power of Premonitions

Circle Network Book Review: The Power of Premonitions - How Knowing the Future Can Shape our Lives By Larry Dossey MD Paperback £9.99  Published by Hay House Author's Website:  http://www.dosseydossey.com/larry/default.html

This is a well researched subject by this remarkable Texan holistic physician who is the leading exponent on the power of prayer to heal. His ground-breaking book, Healing Words, in 1993 was the New York Times bestseller. It swayed sceptics and now more than 80 medical schools in the US run courses on religious practise and the importance of spirituality in health. Originally trained as a pharmacist, he took a medical degree and worked as a physician in Vietnam where he was decorated for valour.  

Working With Chi Book Review

Circle Network Book Review: Working with Chi - Practical Ways to Harness Energy by Madonna Gauding, published by Octopus Books, £12.99

 
There are many words for 'chi', for instance, ki, prana, ka, pneuma, and this full colour book explains how to work with this subtle energy that all life forms possess, and which aids our vitality, health and wellbeing. The topics covered in the book are Tai Chi and Chi Kung exercises, the benefits of diet, special teas and foods, acupuncture, massage, stretches, posture, breathing, meditation, the elements, the meridians, the organs of the body, Taoism and Buddhism, philosophy, relaxation and related subjects. Though all subjects are lightly touched on, and perhaps suitable for a beginner in the healing arts, a more experienced practitioner could be reminded of many of the aspects of chi which aid our energy levels. Reflexology is not mentioned but I think many reflexologist might appreciate this book along with other mind body and spirit specialists. Review by Wendy Stokes
