6th Books Giveaway: Intuitive Children
01.20.2012
Giveaways 6th-books, giveaway, Kylie Holmes, Nonfiction 7 Comments
by Kylie Holmes
Who on earth is that imaginary friend your child talks about? And talks to? Their own creation? A figment of a creative and fertile imagination? But what if? What if this friend is something we don’t yet have a word for. A ghost? A Spirit Guide? An ancestor wanting to reach out to this sensitive and receptive child? And what about those dreams? Those images your child conjures from nowhere? Ones that no one could possibly ‘dream up’? And what about the invisible friends who come to dinner? Recent research indicates that there is a strong possibility that imaginary friends could be a relative who passed away before the child was born. When Jade, my daughter was 3 years old, she always defiantly asserted that ‘Sammy’ was her brother. Could this be the child I lost in a miscarriage years ago?Some people dismiss the spirit world as jiggery-pokery. Others wait in the firm belief that loved ones who have passed over will be in contact. It seems that children up to the age of eight, are receptive to spirit contact. After this time the tangible, concrete world of logical strategies and mathematical equations sets in. As the child is challenging what they know, start to perceive and test boundaries, question their parents and, importantly, absorbs their peers’ perspectives and opinions, some faculties may get lost. Or hidden away. Mediums, sensitives and their clients have evidence that the door to spirit contact can sometimes remain open into adulthood.
There is a lot of positive talk on this one, go to the website at 6th Books to see for yourself.

Moon Books Giveaway: Avebury Cosmos
11.22.2011
Giveaways giveaway, Moon Books, Nicholas Mann, Nonfiction 8 Comments
by Nicholas Mann
In Avebury Cosmos Nicholas Mann shows how the Neolithic people of Avebury incorporated profound knowledge of the heavens into their extraordinary megalithic monuments. This book raises our understanding of Avebury to an entirely new level. By marrying archaeology and astronomy, Mann reveals that the people who built Avebury henge, West Kennet long barrow, Silbury Hill, the Longstones Cove and the Sanctuary aligned them with the cycles of the sun, moon and planets - and also with the stars.
Landscape archaeology is much in fashion at present, but the sky—the one part of the prehistoric landscape which can be reconstructed with real accuracy—is usually forgotten. Nicholas Mann’s painstaking research shows how it can be reintegrated, and how archaeology, astronomy and anthropology can be brought together, to produce a plausible hypothesis regarding the nature of one of the world’s greatest prehistoric monuments. Professor Ronald Hutton, University of Bristol
Nicholas R Mann is an internationally recognised author in the fields of geomancy and ancient history. His previous works include The Isle of Avalon, The Sacred Geometry of Washington DC and The Star Temple of Avalon.

Moon Books Giveaway: A Pagan Testament
11.21.2011
Giveaways Brendan Myer, giveaway, Moon Books, Nonfiction 10 Comments
by Brendan Myer
Pagans often claim that their spiritual inspiration comes not from a written scripture but from personal experience and original creativity. Yet there are many written works which also constitute its testament. Some of them are thousands of years old, such as the Descent of Ishtar, and The Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Others are more recent, such as The Charge of the Goddess. “A Pagan Testament” collects these original works together, along with the poetry and prose that inspired the founders of the modern Pagan movement. It also includes the largest collection of circle songs and wisdom teachings ever published, which are the Pagan equivalent of the Biblical Psalms and Proverbs. They were collected by the author in a survey of Pagan folklore, from almost 2,000 people in twelve countries around the world. They show that Paganism is continually expanding and developing. Finally, the book includes an original and valuable philosophical commentary and interpretation.
A remarkable resource for anyone following the Wicca-Pagan path. We highly recommend it. Janet Farrar and Gavin Bone, authors of “A Witches Bible” and other titles
Brendan Myers is one of the most important Neopagan voices now alive. Isaac Bonewits, author of “Real Magic” and founder of Arn Draoicht Fein
Brendan Myers was inspired by Celtic culture, taught to him by his Irish parents. He has a Ph.D in ethics and philosophy and contributes regularly to Pagan and general media. He lives in Canada.

Moon Books Giveaway: Living with Honour
11.21.2011
Giveaways Emma Restall Orr, giveaway, Moon Books, Nonfiction 5 Comments
by Emma Restall Orr
Living With Honour is a provocative and uncompromising exploration of how Paganism can provide the philosophical guidance to live honourably in a twenty-first Western society. It covers the history of Paganism, its undercurrents of anarchy, heresy, environmentalism and animism, finding its place within the history of Western philosophy. It addresses key moral issues from that animistic perspective, beginning with the foundation of human relationships and attitudes towards the Other, and explores the factors that hinder ethical action. It is a comprehensive guide to moral living from a Pagan perspective.
This is an excellent pioneering work, erudite, courageous and imaginative, that provides a new kind of ethics, linked to a newly appeared complex of religions, which are founded on some very old human truths. Professor Ronald Hutton, world expert on paganism and author of The Triumph of the Moon and many other titles.
This is a lively, sensible and careful attempt to make sense of some very confusing, and yet important, areas of modern thought. I particularly like the clear style and the attention that the author gives to parts of the historical background which are usually misunderstood. The book should interest a wide audience. Mary Midgley, philosopher, author of Science as Salvation and many other works.

Weiser Book Giveaway: A Magical Tour of the Night Sky

Giveaways giveaway, Nonfiction, Red Wheel/Weiser, Renna Shesso 17 Comments
by Renna Shesso
“The sky was our original calendar, our original storybook, the first illustrated edition, the prototype GPS. Beyond its pragmatic usefulness, the sky was the domain of spirit, traversed by deities and a place to which human souls departed. Let’s re-enchant it, shall we?”
Shamanic practitioner, Wicca priestess, and author of Math for Mystics, Renna Shesso invites readers along as she takes a pagan’s look at the night sky—as messenger, guide, storyteller, and mother. She weaves together facts and folklore about the heavens that can’t help but fill readers with awe and guide them to personal and sacred discoveries.
Using a planet-by-planet, star-by-star chapter format, A Magical Tour of the Night Sky draws on astronomy, Tarot, shamanism, astrology, Wicca, lore, legend, and history to interpret the patterns and movement of the night sky and re awaken our spirits.
Included is a treasure trove of information about the North Star (including Ophiuchus!), the Sun, the Precession of the Equinoxes, the Moon, and the visible planets, and each chapter ends with practices people can try to help get them back in touch with their sacred selves.
The winner of this drawing will receive one (1) copy of “A Magical Tour of the Night Sky” by Renna Shesso.
