Hardbound Book &amp; Altar Icon Card Deck. Landscape quarto and deck of 55 cards. 212pp. Illustrated paper covered boards. This illustrated and "illuminated" hardback opens with a detailed historical resume of magical and esoteric thought before presenting the reader with three complete grimoires. From the publisher: "this superbly produced book contains extensive text by Peter J Carroll and over 50 large full colour illustrations from Matt Kaybryn, which are represented in the accompanying deck. Carroll's text begins with a historical resumé of magical and esoteric thought before moving on to present the reader with three complete grimoires. The first grimoire of Elemental magic deals with modern practical magical techniques and the classical and modern interpretations of the traditional elemental symbolism. The second grimoire of Planetary magic deals with the Pagan and Neo-Pagan-magical archetypes or 'god-forms', their contemporary roles in the human condition, and how the magician can access them for their inspiration and to borrow their abilities. The third grimoire of Stellar magic deals with the 'Elder Gods', those foci of awesome and dangerous extraterrestrial knowledge and power that await us in the vast deep reaches of the cosmos. This grimoire constitutes the latest upgrade to the ever evolving Necronomicon. Complementing and supporting the grimoires, further chapters deal with the history of symbolism, the creation and/ or the evolution of gods and goddesses, and the physics of parapsychology and extraterrestrial communication. All in all this book contains enough to keep any wizard, magician, esotericist or natural philosopher entranced and busy for quite quite some time to come." Accompanied by oversized deck of 55 cards, called a "Cartomagical tool for the 21st century, the Deck presents 54 Altar Icons spanning the three Spheres of Elements, Bi-Planets and Stellar god-forms.

Emily Dimmock was born in Standon, Hertfordshire. She followed the fate of so many poor working class girls, by working as a domestic servant, and then becoming a prostitute in London's Kings Cross. Witnesses last saw Emily alive on the evening of September 11th 1907. On the morning of September 12th, 1907, the body of Emily Dimmock was found in her rented rooms in Camden Town, London. The murderer has never been identified. This is the story of the victim; along with an account of the times in which she lived, and the circumstances surrounding her death. Is this another crime of the imagination? Recent books have seen parallels between The Camden Town Murder, the Whitechapel killings of Jack the Ripper, and The Peasenhall Mystery of 1902. This is also a social history and an account of the human condition of the people living in the Victorian and Edwardian eras; the upper classes and their domestic servants, the 'fallen women', the music-halls, the artists, and the demi-monde. All these moving against alternating backgrounds of greys, black and crimson, and enraptured with the vapours of wormwood.

In the autumn of 1888 the streets of London were streets of terror. The cause - a series of mysterious and apparently motiveless murders. The victims were all prostitutes. This title presents a factual reconstruction of the crimes and a fresh theory, based on modern methods of detection, to solve the greatest mystery in British criminology.

Ayurveda is an Asian medical system which has its beginnings in India during approximately the sixth century BC and thrives even to the present day. Medical ideas underpin a great deal of Eastern thought especially Tantrism, alchemy, yoga and the science of love. This book is not intended as a series of health tips or as a textbook for the clinical practice of medicine, which in the Ayurveda tradition requires at least seven years intensive training. The book is aimed at students and lovers of South Asian culture, perhaps also anthropologists and others with a need for a straightforward introduction to the core principles of another scientific tradition.

A 'Sädhana' is an instrument that leads to a particular goal. In Tantra, it is a technical term denoting worship or spiritual practice. Tantra Sädhana is a collection of related instructional papers designed to aid the aspirant through a foundation Sädhana. Some say effective Sädhana requires an initiation (dékshé) from a qualified guru. This book is designed to act as a taster and to provide a short body of work suitable for the period of about one lunar month. In addition, the author had added several useful appendices - including the previously unpublished Tantrik Knuckle Bone Oracle.

Hinduism

This work describes the society in South India where priests and lay people claim supernatural powers and seek physical longevity and psychic immortality, and where arcane and sexual rituals take place. This study offers a vivid picture of their religious beliefs, magical rites and alchemical practices. It also describes their complex system of medicine and their tradition of poetry. Many examples of their poetry are included, poetry which is deeply religious but not without humour.
