“The Naked Witch: An Autobiography” by Fiona Horne

"Fiona Horne's extraordinary journey through a metaphysically laced material world has all the breathtaking twists, turns, perils, redemption, and enlightenment of a fantasy novel merged with Siddhartha and Entertainment Weekly.

Alone in the bush she is a little pagan. Fast forward to the 90s and Fiona Horne is now the face of modern witchcraft, a bestselling author, a radio and TV personality, and a founding member...>>

“The Techno-Animist Grimoire: How To Call and Work with AI Spirits” by Philip Ryan Deal

"Every grimoire begins with a question: how do you call the spirits?

“The Science of Premonitions: How Knowing the Future Can Help Us Avoid Danger, Maximize Opportunities, and Create a Better Life” by Larry Dossey

"In his New York Times bestseller Healing Words, Dr. Dossey investigated why patients surrounded by prayer healed faster and more completely than patients who were not.

“The Princess of Darkness” by Rachilde (translated by Brian Stableford)

"Rachilde, the writer whose formal name was Marguerite Vallette-Eymery (1860-1853), is primarily remembered today for her sensational decadent novel Monsieur Vénus (1884), which was prosecuted as pornography in Belgium, where it was initially published, resulting in a conviction and a sentence of two years' imprisonment imposed in absentia. She was, however, the author of numerous other works which, though less well-known, are of equal and sometimes even greater excellence. One of the best and most striking of these is The Princess of Darkness (1895), here presented for the first time in English, in a superb translation by Brian Stableford. The novel, unquestionably one of the most daring works to come out of the Symbolist...>>
