Softcover. Condition: Good. Illustrated (illustrator). The Heart of Yoga is the first book to present the teachings of revered yogi Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888-1989) from the unique perspective of his son and principal student. Here, T.K.V. Desikachar shows how to use Krishnamacharya's system of viniyoga to develop a personal practice that is responsive to your own needs and adaptable to your age, health, and lifestyle. Krishnamacharya based his teachings on a number of scriptural sources, but of them all he placed the highest value on Pata-jali's Yoga Sutras. Heart of Yoga makes available for the first time in the West Desikachar's commentary on Pata-jali, as taught to him by his father.

Condition: Good. <p>Aphrodisiacs, the "foods of love" that increase sexual desire and potency fall into two classifications: biochemical, which have a direct effect on sexual activity, and the more important group whose effects are psycho-physiological in nature. Richard Alan Miller provides comprehensive and detailed information on using both kinds of aphrodisiacs.</p><br /><p>Emphasizing the powerful role of the mind on the biochemistry of sexuality, Miller shows how intention and motivation can be focused to greatly augment the physical effects of these substances.</p><br /><p>To stimulate the imagination and enhance both the physical and psychological effects of aphrodisiacs, the author suggests specific contemporary rituals drawn from sources as diverse as Tantric yoga and Western magic.</p><br /><p>In previous editions, this and the author's other titles have sold more than 50,000 copies.</p>

Softcover. Condition: used. Who are the new Pagans, and what do they stand for? From Margot Adler, an NPR reporter and author of Drawing Down the Moon, to Oberon Zell, founder of the Church of All Worlds, the people interviewed in this book express the rich diversity of modern Paganism. Ellen Evert Hopman draws on her own experience as a Pagan and Druid and on extensive research to describe the origins and activities of modern Paganism. The authors examine the influence of Paganism on society-and society's influence on Paganism-with particular attention to how Pagans address such issues as childrearing, organized religion, and politics. People of the Earth unites many Pagan voices in a panoramic view of one of today's most dynamic spiritual movements.People of the Earth is the first book to provide a forum in which a variety of Pagan leaders and teachers describe in their own words their beliefs and practices.After centuries of suppression, Pagan traditions are re-entering the mainstream, as many people rediscover ancient philosophies that honor the environment and the spiritual power of each individual.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Second Edition. . The first translation to honor the authentic Chinese spirit of the Book of ChangeFor more than 3000 years the I Ching has been the most important book of divination in the world. Yet it has always been translated by Westerners who brought their own cultural biases to the work. Now, for the first time, an eminent Chinese scholar has translated the original ideograms of the I Ching into English. Imprisoned and sentenced to death during the Cultural Revolution in 1966, Master Alfred Huang studied the I Ching in secret with some of China's greatest minds. Released in 1979, he emigrated to the United States, where he discovered that no I Ching existed in English that truly understood the Chinese mind. This book is the product of his desire to right that situation.To the Chinese, the I Ching is nothing without the Confucian commentaries known as the Ten Wings. Previous editions have given them only a minor place in the book, or have left them out altogether. In this new translation, they are restored to their central importance by Master Huang.This book also emphasizes the intricate connections between the 64 possible hexagrams, and introduces several new methods for doing readings.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Reveals the actual teaching methods of the druids. Provides new insights into the vast store of knowledge every druid was expected to know--knowledge that took fifteen to twenty years of rigorous study to acquire. Translation of the classic Celtic text, Imcallam in da Thuarad, generally translated as The Colloquy of Two Sages. By eminent Celtic scholar Christian J. Guyonvarc'h, author of Magic, medecine et divination chez les Celtes (Magic, Medicine, and Divination among the Celts).Because ancient druidic knowledge was transmitted orally, most of what has been represented as the teachings of the druids has been conjecture or fantasy. Now eminent Celtic scholar Christian J. Guyonvarc'h tears away the obscurity surrounding what the druids taught and how they taught it with his magisterial examination of the little-known Celtic text, Imcallam in da Thuarad, generally translated as The Colloquy of Two Sages.Up to now, this text has been regarded as merely an elaborate battle of wits between two bards, a dispute centered on a younger bard's attempt to unseat an older bard's position in the court of Conchobar. Thanks to the present translation and its accompanying commentary, we now can see that this text depicts the examination by a teacher of a druidic candidate. Consequently, the reader gains valuable insight into the actual nature of druidic science and the vast store of knowledge--acquired over an arduous fifteen- to twenty-year period--necessary to become a druid. Both modern druids and Celtic aficionados alike will find The Making of a Druid a fascinating storehouse of forgotten wisdom.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. * A celebration of the irresistible allure of sirens and mermaids in art, literature, and mythology throughout the world. * 160 beautiful color and black-and-white illustrations depicting sirens in all their various seductive forms. * An examination of the psychological drives behind our 3,000-year-old obsession with sirens.Ever since the Sirens first tempted Ulysses closer to a rocky death with their celestial voices and forbidden secrets, they and their mermaid sisters have maintained an ongoing love affair with humanity's greatest writers, artists, and poets. With the torsos of women and the lower halves of birds or fish, they have long been symbols of the lure of the dark feminine, seducers who beckon men with promises of desires fulfilled. Sirens: Symbols of Seduction is both a celebration of Sirens and an examination of the psychological drives underlying this archetype.Sirens play important roles in the classical writings of Homer and Euripides, as well as the modern works of James Joyce, H. G. Wells, Oscar Wilde, William Butler Yeats, and many others. Matching these writings with the vibrant work of such artists as Peter Paul Rubens, Hieronymous Bosch, Edvard Munch, and Rene Magritte, Meri Lao has created a feast for the eye and ear as seductive as the Sirens themselves. She traces their evolution from fierce, winged creatures who carry the dead from the battlefield to the elusive, sensuous mermaids glimpsed by sailors for centuries and immortalized in Hollywood by actresses such as Esther Williams and Daryl Hannah. Exploring our 3,000-year-old obsession with Sirens, Lao reveals the secret of their power: their song is the sound of subversiveness, luring us from the orderly world above the waves down to the phantasmagoric realm of dreams, and the harder we try to ignore what they are singing, the more we desperately want to hear it.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Revised. <i>The Opening of the way</i>, which is solidly based on the spiritual realities that were the functional pillars of the wisdom of ancient Egypt, as well as the basis of the Western spiritual tradition, is mean to help the reader gain access to the dynamic unity that produced the greatest of all known civilizations, at the same time explicating the many mysteries approached in <i>Her-Bak: Egyptian Initiate</i> In the <i>Her-Bak</i> books, Isha Schwaller de Lubicz transmitted in a fictional context the atmosphere and teachings of ancient Egypt based on her extensive research and collaboration with her husband, <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/239618.R_A_Sc hwaller_de_Lubicz">R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz</a>.<br /> For the author, modern man is the product of several centuries of cerebral culture. This state of mind professes to explain man and the universe by reason only, without supposing there to be any creative cause. Man cannot admit the existence of any natural laws or forces other than those which his reasoning faculty can analyze. Research into human nature has therefore taken a biological, chemical, and mechanical direction and has come up with no constructive answers to the question of how life ought to be lived. The nervous imbalance brought about by this analytical mentality cannot tolerate silence or inactivity, without which one cannot have true initiation or spiritual experience. Isha Schwaller de Lubicz postulates that the understanding of the harmonious relationship of all parts of our universe is to be reached not by intellectual search, but only by the path of silence and true meditation. With <i>The Opening of the Way</i> as a guide, the reader can learn how to awaken what the ancient Egyptians called "the intelligence of the heart," the master of harmony in our body as well as our connection to the heart of the world.<br /> The author defines such terms as "soul," "consciousness," and "self-knowledge" and helps us recognize in ourselves the states of subtle energy which are immortal elements and therefore enable us to rise above the "animal man." She also presents a study of the human body, showing the relation of the various organs to the bloodstream and to the sources of vital energy. The object here is to present a simple but comprehensive view of the unity of the human constitution and the interplay of its vital functions. With this knowledge, we become aware of the harmony that governs them and relates them to the corresponding functions of the universe. Man is an individual manifestation of all the functions, powers, and affinities in the universe, and his consciousness is the measure of his individualization, his power to make actual that which is still only virtual in cosmic harmony. <i>The Opening of the Way</i> develops for the reader the knowledge of these various elements of genesis and the spiritual bond uniting them.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Tra. Compelling evidence that the events of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey took place in the Baltic and not the Mediterranean Reveals how a climate change forced the migration of a people and their myth to ancient Greece Identifies the true geographic sites of Troy and Ithaca in the Baltic Sea and Calypso's Isle in the North Atlantic OceanFor years scholars have debated the incongruities in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, given that his descriptions are at odds with the geography of the areas he purportedly describes. Inspired by Plutarch's remark that Calypso's Isle was only five days sailing from Britain, Felice Vinci convincingly argues that Homer's epic tales originated not in the Mediterranean, but in the northern Baltic Sea.Using meticulous geographical analysis, Vinci shows that many Homeric places, such as Troy and Ithaca, can still be identified in the geographic landscape of the Baltic. He explains how the dense, foggy weather described by Ulysses befits northern not Mediterranean climes, and how battles lasting through the night would easily have been possible in the long days of the Baltic summer. Vinci's meteorological analysis reveals how a decline of the "climatic optimum" caused the blond seafarers to migrate south to warmer climates, where they rebuilt their original world in the Mediterranean. Through many generations the memory of the heroic age and the feats performed by their ancestors in their lost homeland was preserved and handed down to the following ages, only later to be codified by Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey.Felice Vinci offers a key to open many doors that allow us to consider the age-old question of the Indo-European diaspora and the origin of the Greek civilization from a new perspective.
