Stace that lays out his philosophy of mysticism and compiles writings on mystical experience from across religious traditions. The book’s comprehensive selections met with broadly positive responses.
What is Mysticism? Who is a Mystic? Can mysticism be interpreted as both a religious and an atheistic phenomenon? What meaning does mysticism hold for the twentieth century? In this impartial and perceptive survey, a modern philosopher interprets and analyses the characteristics, nature, meaning, and value of mystical consciousness as it has been described by the great mystical writers of the world down through the ages.

By Spellbook & Candle
$14.95From the Pagan Portals Book Series By Spellbook & Candle: Cursing, Hexing, Bottling & Binding by Melusine Draco Why go to the bother of cursing, when a bottling or binding can be just as effective. Curses have given the world some of its greatest legends and folklore, and the more grisly and gory, the better we like them. But cursing, or ill-wishing, is not a practice confined to magical practitioners - black, white or grey - it is a form of expression intended to do harm in reparation for some real or imagined insult and can be 'thrown' by anyone of any race, culture or creed without any prior experience of ritual magic or witchcraft. According to the dictionary, however, a curse is defined as: To invoke or wish evil upon; to afflict; to damn; to excommunicate; evil invoked on another person. If this is the clear definition, then under what circumstances can we challenge this established way of thinking and ask ourselves can cursing ever be justified? And if we hesitate for just a moment, then we must ask the next question: Is cursing evil? Like all aspects of life, however, it is advisable to put things in their proper perspective before passing judgement.
