"Owning Your Own Shadow: Understanding the Dark Side of the Psyche" by Robert A. Johnson

"Shadow Worlds: A history of the occult and esoteric in New Zealand" by Andrew Wood
🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "A vigorous strand of interest in the occult, the spooky and the mysterious has been part of New Zealand's history since 1840.

It’ s a fresh and novel take on the history of a small colonial society that was not quite as ploddingly conformist as we may have imagined."...>>
