“Wall Street and Witchcraft: An Investigation into Extreme and Unusual Investment Techniques” by Max Gunther

"Or, how to beat the Street with a broomstick... Since that first tulip was traded on that madly speculative exchange in 17th-century Amsterdam, some very special individuals — plungers not in the Merrill Lynch tradition — have been picking winners and harvesting huge profits with uncanny success. How? They play the market in ways that seem weird to the rest of us — but they win! There are those who feel vibrations, play by the stars, read tarot cards, rely on extrasensory perception, dream dreams, play by numbers. Crazy? Maybe. Yet every single one of them is rich. You'll meet them all in this peek at the occult side of the street. If you want to play...>>

“Nymphology: A Brief History of Nymphs” by John Kruse

"Nymphs, naiads, dryads and nereids have had an important place in Western culture since Ancient Greek times. They have given us myths, names and concepts that have shaped literature, art and folklore for nearly 3000 years.

In recent times, of course, the nymph has been re-interpreted for modern society in the form of the adolescent nymphet.

"The Mindful Masters guide to developing your psychic abilities, tarot archetypes, altered states, and life meta-themes. Mindfulness and psychic abilities make an odd couple.

In Psychic Mindfulness, you'll discover how to develop and use the mystical and supernatural to develop a higher level of mindfulness.

“Spirals: The Pattern of Existence” by Geoff Ward

"In mathematics, a spiral is a curve which emanates from a central point, getting progressively farther away as it revolves around the point. Spirals are everywhere and involve all human thought and physical structure. From cutting edge quantum physics to ancient architecture here you will discover the role that Spirals play in our lives.
