“Amulets and Superstitions” by E. A. Wallis Budge

"How does a gold ring with a frog bezel heighten fertility? Why would a farmer wear an amulet of moss-agate to ensure a plentiful harvest, while brown agate will protect a man from every kind of poisonous reptile? Who believed the number 7 to be the most sacred, perfect, and mystic? In sharp contrast to our day, people in the Middle Ages considered Monday to be a day of peace and happiness, while Saturday brought danger and death. Distinguished egyptologist Dr. Budge offers a leading guide to amulets and superstitions throughout human history. Reaching as far back as the third millennium BC, this book explains and explores the origin of such powerful and everlasting...>>

“Voices from the Tapes: Recording from the Other World” by Peter Bander

"This is one of the first books that were ever written on electronic voice phenomena (EVP), which is now a staple on ghost hunting television shows. Today, more than forty years after this book was written, it is a still an interesting subject, but virtually none of the questions about it that were asked then have satisfactory answers now. The randomness of the words and phrases that have been captured on tape cannot be addressed. The origin of the captured voices is still unknown. Sometimes the voices are there, and sometimes they are not. Particular tape recorders seem to work better than others. If some of these questions had been answered, there would probably...>>

“Breakthrough: An Amazing Experiment in Electronic Communication with the Dead” by Konstantin Raudive

"This book is the documented result of six years' arduous research into an astounding scientific phenomenon, accidentally discovered in Sweden by Friedrich Jorgenson in 1957. In some way, and for reasons not yet fully understood, voices of dead persons linked by affection or interest with the experimenter appear during playbacks of tape recordings on which no such voices were audible at the time of the original recording. These voices always state their names and may be identified as male or female, but all speak very much faster than is normal and employ a curious speech rhythm. In the course of his research, Dr Raudive was joined by eminent scientists, physicists, psychologists, and theologians, many...>>

“The Magical World of the Anglo-Saxons” by Tylluan Penry

"This book invites the reader to enter the magical world of the early, heathen Anglo-Saxons. Often mistakenly regarded as the harbingers of the 'Dark Ages', instead Tylluan shows their vivid world that refused to be suppressed by Christian missionaries. Tylluan is careful to separate the true Anglo-Saxon from the Norse and Germanic traditions wherever possible, so that this well referenced book offers a truly magical Anglo-Saxon experience."...>>
