“European Cases of the Reincarnation Type” by Ian Stevenson

Magick Matters

"Many cultures accept that a person may die and then come back to life in another form, but Westerners have traditionally rejected the idea. Recently, however, surveys conducted in Europe indicate a substantial increase in the number of Europeans who believe in reincarnation, and numerous claims of reincarnation have been reported. This book examines particular cases in Europe that are suggestive of reincarnation. The first section provides a brief history of the belief in reincarnation among Europeans. The second section considers eight cases from the first third of the twentieth century that were not independently investigated, but were reported and sometimes published by the persons concerned. The third section covers 32 cases from the second...>>

“Children Who Remember Previous Lives: A Question of Reincarnation” by Ian Stevenson (revised edition)

Magick Matters

"This is the revised edition of Dr. Stevenson's 1987 book, summarizing for general readers almost forty years of experience in the study of children who claim to remember previous lives. For many Westerners the idea of reincarnation seems remote and bizarre; it is the author's intent to correct some common misconceptions.

The work gives an overview of the history of the belief in and evidence for reincarnation. Representative cases of children, research methods used, analyses of the cases and of variations due to different cultures, and the explanatory value of...>>

“Where Reincarnation and Biology Intersect” by Ian Stevenson

Magick Matters

"Children who claim to remember a previous life have been found in many parts of the world, particularly in the Buddhist and Hindu countries of South Asia, among the Shiite peoples of Lebanon and Turkey, the tribes of West Africa, and the American northwest. Stevenson has collected over 2,600 reported cases of past-life memories of which 65 detailed reports have been published. Specific information from the children's memories has been collected and matched with the data of their claimed former identity, family, residence, and manner of death. Birthmarks or other physiological manifestations have been found to relate to experiences of the remembered past life, particularly violent death. Writing as a specialist in psychiatry and...>>

“Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation” by Ian Stevenson (second edition, revised and enlarged)

Magick Matters

"Can anyone speak a language he or she has not learned normally, in childhood or later? Claims to have accomplished this are made from time to time, but only rarely do they receive support when carefully examined. In this volume, Dr. Stevenson presents detailed reports of two cases that seem authentic. Authentic instances of speaking a language that has not been learned normally (responsive xenoglossy) suggest that another personality (perhaps one of a previous life) had learned the langauge. Cases of responsive xenoglossy thus add to the evidence concerning the survival of human personality after death."...>>

“Lifetimes: True Accounts of Reincarnation” by Frederick Lenz

Magick Matters

"An illuminating and fascinating exploration of past lives from the author of Surfing the Himalayas and Snowboarding to Nirvana. If a person you've never met before seems strangely familiar...or you seem to have intense memories of a place you've never been before...or you have an experience you know is new--but it feels as if it's happened before... For many people, reincarnation is a reality. In Lifetimes, Dr. Frederick Lenz interviewed over 100 men and women from all walks of life who vividly and with great conviction describe experiences and relationships from past lifetimes."...>>
