"Hedge Riding" by Harmonia Saille (Pagan Portals)

"One aspect of hedge witchcraft is engaging in a form of Otherworldly travel called hedge riding.

“Hedge Witchcraft” by Harmonia Saille (Pagan Portals)

"Hedge Witchcraft" by Harmonia Saille (Pagan Portals)

"Hedge witchery in general is experiential and a slow and natural progression of interests and events often experienced from childhood and persisting all through your life.

"A Theory of Jerks and Other Philosophical Misadventures" by Eric Schwitzgebel

"Inspired: The Paranormal World of Creativity" by Grant Cameron

"It is generally believed that a high IQ and a rational analytical left brain are required for creative discovery.

In Inspired: The Paranormal World of Creativity Grant Cameron takes the reader through stories of where many of the great creations of the world really came from, and what non-human intelligences seem to live in the world that supplies the ideas and inventions.

"Qabalah Made Easy: Discover Powerful Tools to Explore Practical Magic and the Tree of Life" by David Wells

"The Qabalah is a Western non-religious mystic tradition (differing from the Kabbalah, which is an aspect of Jewish mysticism) offering teachings on the nature of divinity, the creation, the origin and fate of the soul, and the role of human beings. It consists of meditative, devotional, and mystical practices, including astrology, tarot, and magic.
