Witches Crafting Beauty

SEASONS OF MOON AND FLAME The Wild Dreamer’s Epic Journey of Becoming by Danielle Dulsky $26.00, paper. New World. 350 pages

The yearning to slow down and simplify, return to the earth, and maybe even rewild what has been tamed in ourselves persists even though that dream seems ever more remote in contemporary life. Danielle Dulsky shows that even in our high-tech and high-pressure lives, it is possible. As a young woman, Dulsky found refuge, nurturance, and wisdom in her grandmother’s rustic home. As an adult, after years of seeking elsewhere, Dulsky came to recognize the wise elder, or Crone, in her grandmother and to explore ways of honoring that lineage.

She offers fellow seekers a way to manifest their own year of the wild and to tap into often-forgotten wisdom ways. Seasons of Moon and Flame guides readers to live

cyclically while working with the archetype of the Sacred Hag, or wild grandmother, who appears in various guises. Lunar phases within lunar seasons are highlight-

ed through rituals and ceremonies. Wonderfully inclusive, with adaptations for families, spiritual groups, and other traditions, this book is a potentially life-changing guide to living mystically, magically, and in empowering

Celtic Spirit THE LOST BOOK OF THE GRAIL The Sevenfold Path of the Grail and the Restoration of the Faery Accord by Caitlin & John Matthews $31.50, paper. Inner Traditions. 342 pp.

Unveiling the long-forgotten prequel to the Grail quest stories, Caitlin and John Matthews examine The Elucidation of the Grail, a forgotten 13th-century French text, and show how it offers the key to understanding the sevenfold path of the Grail and the deeper stories beneath the Christian Grail narrative. Beginning with a new translation of

The Elucidation by foremost esotericist

Gareth Knight and Caitlin Matthews, the authors provide a complete commentary on the poem, revealing a star-

tling alternative cause of the Wasteland and the Grail quest, one which has a profound resonance

with our own times. They examine the forgotten story of the Faery Wars and explain the Faery Accord, an agreement that once existed between humans and the Faery and upon which the spiritual and physical health of the land depends. The offering of the Grail and its regenerative powers by the Maidens of the Wells—Faery women—was part of this Accord. King Amangons and his men violated harmony with the worlds of spirit and nature.

The hag teaches us to slow down—to look where we feel both joy and hurt and find, right there, the impenetrable wildness of who are are. We look to the most ancient medicine of our people, to their gods and fairy tales, and we cocreate our stories of becoming out of a bone-deep desire to belong the way those long-gone ancestors of our belonged and a simultaneous knowing that ours is a more wounded, more watered, more fragilely interconnected world. We Witches live close to that knowing. We can feel the future pulsing in our veins as much as we feel the echoes of the past, and we sense both the

past and the future being reordered, re-membered, through our everyday movement, by our morning

prayers and our evening ceremonies…

May we make good art. May we slow down and taste the marrow of the magick we are brewing. “Bold, exquisite, empowering, and healing in its concoction and execution… An exceptional achievement.” —Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch

The Knights of King Arthur seek to avenge the Well Maidens and rebirth the Grail to restore access to the lost paradisiacal Courts of Joy held in ancestral memory. On their quest, they encounter the Rich Company whose greed keeps the Knights occupied in long wars of attrition, yet their quest to restore the generous hospitality of the Wells—the true Grail, the Faery Grail—continues. In addition to the Faery Accord and Knights quest, the authors examine the Seven Guardians of the Stories, the Rich Fisher, the Courts of Joy and paradise lost, and the otherworldly Land of Women. They show how this lost

book of the Grail reveals themes familiar to the modern world and offers hope of healing the rift between the worlds of Faery and human as well as restoration of our

natural belonging to the land.

TEACHINGS OF THE CHRISTIAN MYSTICS edited by Andrew Harvey $14.95, paper. Shambhala. 180 pages

The Christian mystics are the treasure of Western civilization—yet they remain little known among those of us who are potentially their spiritual heirs. Andrew Harvey’s anthology confronts us

with the mystics in their own words, to show us how well they serve, even now,

as guides for the spiritual life—and to challenge our preconceived ideas about the path of Christianity.

The selections here represent all eras of the Christian tradition as well as an amazing range of people who have em-

bodied it, like Francis of Assisi, Meister Eckhart, Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila, Thomas Merton, Bede Griffiths, and many others. There are gems from the Bible, “Sayings of the Desert Fathers,” Gregory of Nyssa, Saint Augustine, Saint Symeon the New Theologian, Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Traherne, William Blake, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Teilhard de Chardin, “The Way of a Pilgrim,” and many more.

Andrew Harvey writes in his introduction:

The real Second Coming will be the birthing of Christ-consciousness in millions of beings who turn, in the Father-Mother, towards the fire of love and take the supreme risk of incarnating divine love-in-action on Earth. This Second Coming could potentially alter the level of consciousness of the whole of humanity and initiate it into that mystical wisdom that it desperately needs if its problems are going to be solved.

ON THOMAS MERTON by Mary Gordon $24.95, paper. Shambhala. 160 pages

This is a probing, candid exploration of Thomas Merton’s life and writing from best-selling novelist and memoirist Mary Gordon.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was a Trappist monk, poet, essayist, activist, and author of some of the most influential spiritual writing of the 20th century. He entered the Trappist monastery of Gethsemani in Kentucky as a young man in his twenties, seemingly abandoning the promising literary career that lay before him. But from the silent cloister

EYE OF THE HEART A Spiritual Journey into the Imaginal Realm by Cynthia Bourgeault $22.95, paper. Shambhala. 218 pages

Eye of the Heart investigates the imaginal realm—an energetic realm well known to the mystical traditions but often forgotten in our own times. It is invisible to the physical eye, but clearly perceptible through the eye of the heart. The imaginal realm has long

been associated with the personal world of dreams, prophecy, and oracles, and it also points toward a higher vision of our human purpose that is both

evolutionary and collective. Bourgeault explores both aspects of imaginal reality and shows readers how we can cooperate more fully with its guidance in our lives.

Expertly blending her own lived experiences with research on the imaginal realm, Bourgeault explores how her personal relationships have helped to bring these teachings into sharper focus and the role this realm plays in Christian and other mystical traditions. She delves into the connections between our inner consciousness and what happens in the world. Eye of the Heart presents Bourgeault’s spiritual journey with the

imaginal realm and encourages readers to attune their

hearts for the well-being of the world.

Properly understood through its own Western filter, the imaginal realm is collective and evolutionary; its

THE WAY OF FORGIVENESS A Story About Letting Go New in by Stephen Mitchell Paperback $22.99, paper. Picador. 288 pages

Stephen Mitchell’s gift is to breathe new life into ancient classics, which he’s done with the Tao, the Gita, the Odyssey, Rilke, and many other books. In The Way of Forgiveness, he offers us his riveting novelistic

version of the Biblical tale in which Jacob’s

favorite son is sold into slavery and eventually becomes viceroy of Egypt. Tolstoy called it the most beautiful story in the world. What’s new here is the lyrical, witty, vivid prose, informed by a wisdom that brings fresh insight to this foundational legend of betrayal and all-embracing forgiveness. Mitchell’s retell-

ing, which reads like a postmodern novel, interweaves the narrative with brief meditations that, with their Zen surprises, expand the narrative and illuminate its main

themes.

By stepping inside the minds of Joseph and the other characters, Mitchell reanimates one of the central stories of Western culture. The engrossing tale that he has in which he spent all but the last few weeks of his life, Merton`s influence

spread worldwide through his writing, primarily on topics related to the spiritual life—a subject which he demonstrated to be very broad indeed. His life of dialogue led him to explore a

range of contemplative practices, particularly Buddhism, and he was one of the pioneers in raising awareness of Buddhist philosophy and practice among Westerners.

Mary Gordon, as a Catholic in critical dialogue with her church, came to explore Merton relatively late in her own journey, becoming fascinated with him as a fellow writer. She documents her exploration of Merton through his books—the ups and downs of the experience, areas of disagreement and sympathy, of annoyance and, ultimately, deep connection. It is a profoundly personal view of one of the great spiritual figures of our age, by an interpreter who, while disinclined to go easy on her famous subject, nevertheless reveals a great admiration and fascination ultimate purpose is to guide, shape, nourish, and, where necessary, offer course correct ions to our entire planetary and interplanetary unfolding…

It is also and primarily supremely the realm of cosmic assistance. It is the “place” from which saints, teachers, masters, and all manner of abler souls reach out across the apparent divide between the worlds to support or where necessary modify earthly outcomes in tandem with willing and attuned hearts here below.

“This exquisitely written love story distills the intricacies of the esoteric Western traditions into a transformational elixir—both rigorous and luminous—simultaneously intoxicating and sobering.” —Mirabai Starr, author, Wild Mercy

“A brilliant synthesis that both situates the imaginal

world and gives it more meaning than it has previously

had… [Bourgeault] is a true representative of the Western spiritual tradition.” —from the afterword by A. H.

Almaas

“Eye of the Heart is an immensely original piece of thinking, feeling, writing. There is nothing like it. It

opens new terrain, plants new seeds, starts them on

their way toward the light.”—Roger Lipsey, author of

created will capture the hearts and minds of modern readers and show them that this ancient story can still challenge, delight, and astonish.

In the Joseph story we can see the enlightened mind in action, the mind in harmony with the way things are, after the deadly tricks of the ego have been met with understanding. Joseph realizes that there is a vast, compassionate intelligence always at work beneath the surface of the apparent. —from the foreword “How do you honestly and deeply ‘interpret’ a dream? By dreaming it onwards. How do you honestly and deeply read a story from the Bible? By telling it onwards, again and again, with a reverent imagination. Stephen Mitchell has beautifully reimagined the Biblical story of Joseph with an enhanced retelling in exqui-

site language and with subtle insight. You won’t find a more moving, inspiring and enlightening book on the

Bible.” —Thomas Moore, author of Ageless Soul with his life and work.

JUDAISM FOR FHE WORLD Reflections on God, Life, and Love by Arthur Green $42.00, cloth. Yale. 408 pages

An internationally recognized scholar and theologian

shares a Jewish mysticism for our times.

Judaism, one of the world’s great spiritual traditions, is not addressed to Jews alone. In this masterful book, Arthur Green calls out to seekers of all sorts, offering a universal response to the eternal human questions of who we are, why we exist, where we are going, and how to live.

Drawing on over half a century as a Jewish seeker and teacher, he shows us

a Judaism that cultivates the life of the

spirit, that inspires an inward journey leading precisely toward self-transcendence, to an awareness of the universal Self in whose presence we exist. As a neo-hasidic seeker, he is both devotional and boldly questioning in his understanding of God and tradition. Engaging with the mystical sources, he translates the insights of the Hasidic masters

into a new religious language accessible to all those eager to build an inner life and a human society that treasures

the divine spark in each person and throughout Creation. “Arthur Green draws on a lifetime of scholarship, teaching, and activism to offer unparalleled insights and rare depths of soul. Written by a spiritual master, this book constitutes a religious classic that will inform and inspire all who open its pages.” —David Ellenson, Hebrew Union College

Sufism, Islam & Rumi

THE STUDY QURAN A New Translation & Commentary by Seyyed Hossein Nasr $67.99, paper. HarperCollins. 2048 pages

This new and accurate translation of the Quran offers a meticulous analysis of its theological, metaphysical, historical, and geographical teachings and backgrounds, and includes extensive study notes, special introductions by experts in the field, and is edited by a top modern Islamic scholar, respected in both the West and the Islamic world.

The Study Quran conveys the enduring

spiritual power of the Quran and offers a thorough scholarly understand-

ing of this holy text. With a two-color, two-column layout, it’s beautiful and accessible.

With an introduction by general editor, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, here is a nearly 2,000-page, discussion of the entire Quran that provides a comprehensive picture of how this sacred work has been read by Muslims for over 1,400 years.

The Quran contains above all a doctrine about the nature of reality on all its levels, from Absolute Reality Itself, that is, the One God, to the reality of creation

both macrocosmic and microcosmic… The Quran also deals fully with the nature of human beings. It teaches us who we are, why we were created and placed here on earth, what our goal in life is… The Sacred Text deals with every aspect of human concern, from the deepest intellectual questions and the most lofty spiritual issues to the mundane matters of ordinary life.

SWEET LUNACY Divine Intoxication in Sufi Lore renditions by Vraje Abramaniam $22.50, paper. Hohm. 85 pages

“Divine Intoxication” is a common theme in Middle Eastern poetry. The “wine” on which the seeker becomes “drunk” is nothing less than the nectar of love. Such “inebriation,” however, often produces unconventional behavior, even hints of madness, marking the lover as one apparently lost to the ordinary world. And so, the poetry written

by or about these “drunkards” is often saturated with perennial wisdom, with stark reflections of the truth (in vino veritas), and with a variety of prayerful longing that is found throughout all

mystical traditions.

Sweet Lunacy contains works by some of the most wellknown mystical Sufi poets from the 11th through the 14th century. But the reader will also meet lesser-known authors here whose messages, both unique and fresh, are equally inspiring.

The human heart is a candle whose only yearning is to be lit, a gaping wound biding its time by the Friend’s Presence to be filled.

Learn to endure this burning this wounded patience and waiting and someday you will witness that Love can never be taught that It can only be caught. —Rumi

While the subject matter is rare and refined, the author is clear that every human being nurses within his or her heart a nostalgia, remote and nameless, a longing for something they cannot express. This fine collection is valuable not only for the refinement of poetic content but also for the spiritual guidance of the great mystics whose voices are made available herein. Sweet Lunacy is for lovers, seekers of truth, and connoisseurs of beauty alike.

Vraje Abramian, born in Iran and a native speaker of Farsi, has worked to keep his translations as close to the meaning and cultural flavor of the originals as possible. He has researched “Wise Fools” in various cultures/religions in the Near, and Middle East, Central Asia and India.

THE BOOK OF RUMI 105 Stories and Fables that Illumine, Delight, and Inform translated by Maryam Mafi $24.95, paper. Hampton Roads. 188 pp.

Philip Pullman, author of ‘His Dark Materials’ trilogy, has remarked that “after nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.” This new collection of Rumi stories fills that need.

This fresh prose translation of 105

short teaching stories by Rumi, which form the core of the six-volume

Masnavi, explores the hidden spiritual aspects of everyday experience. Rumi

transforms the seemingly mundane events of daily life into profound Sufi

teaching moments.

These stories include well-known and popular tales such as “Angel of Death,” “The Sufi and His Cheating Wife,” “Moses and the Shepherd,” “Chickpeas,” and “The Greek and Chinese Painters” as well as the less commonly quoted parables: “The Basket Weaver,” “The Mud Eater,” and “A Sackful of Pebbles.”

Reading one Rumi short story per day could easily become anyone’s ritual.

Rumi’s voice alternates between playful and authorita-

tive, whether he is telling stories of ordinary lives or inviting the discerning reader to higher levels of introspection and attainment of transcendent values. Maryam Mafi’s translations delicately reflect the nuances of Rumi’s poetry while retaining the positive tone of all of Rumi’s writings, as well as the sense of suspense and drama that mark the essence of the Masnavi.

ALCHEMY OF LIGHT Working with the Primal Energies of Life by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee $22.95, paper. Golden Sufi. 146 pages

Now in an updated edition, Alchemy of Light explores a simple but revolutionary idea: that the light of our spiritual nature, its en-

ergy and divine spark, can be a catalyst for

global transformation. “The work of the present time is to welcome the light of the sacred back into the world.” Delving into the inner world of ar-

chetypes and drawing on the ancient tradition of alche-

my, this reflective guide emphasizes the inner spiritual light of each individual as part of the spiritual light of the world, and as a potent agent for global change.

recognize their own spiritual light and to work with it in service of life, expanding their spiritual horizon from their own individual journey to encompass the fate of

all of life on this planet.

KABBALAH: THE TREE OF LIFE ORACLE Sacred Wisdom to Enrich Your Life by Cherry Gilchrist $38.95, cards. Eddison. colour cards + 144-page guidebook, boxed

This oracle is based on the ancient Kabbalistic map of creation that dates back at least a thousand years in the Jewish mystery tradition. The Tree of

Life is a sacred symbol in many cultures of the world, but here it is used as a path to knowledge linking the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet with the twenty-two paths of the Tree

of Life and the astrological houses.

Each resulting word forms a rich and powerful wheel symbol that reflects a segment of the tree, depicted on a card in the oracle deck. Follow the reading sheet to lay the cards in the zigzag line of creation, and consult the guidebook to receive guidance on any life issue. Both the oracle and the tree are highly structured, and from this framework of harmony comes wisdom that you will value forever.

Cherry Gilchrist has studied meditation, Tarot and Kabbalah since her early twenties. She has also been a lifelong member of the Nine Ladies association, concerned with renewing feminine spirituality. As an author, and lifelong participant in the Western wisdom tradition, she has written definitive books on alchemy, Russian mythology, and divination.

Metaphysics & Philosophy THE RETURN OF HOLY RUSSIA Apocalyptic History, Mystical Awakening, and the Struggle for the Soul of the World by Gary Lachman $39.99, cloth. Inner Traditions. 438 pages

At the turn of the 20th century, a period known as the Silver Age, Russia was undergoing a powerful spiritual and cultural rebirth. It was a time of magic and mysticism that saw a vital resurgence of interest in the occult and a creative intensity not seen in the West since the Renaissance. This was the time of the God-Seekers, pilgrims of the soul

and explorers of the spirit who sought the salvation of the

world through art and ideas. These sages and their visions of Holy Russia are returning to prominence now through “This deck holds something more. It is a

Journey, a Course, a Magical Maze through which one can work a slow steady pathway to

the very centre of oneself… and find there what all who tread the paths of self-knowledge desire… the meeting of the higher and lower Selves.” —Dolores Ashcrost-Nowicki “This is a deck to be discovered slowly, taking time to form a relationship with each card. It is not for the faint of heart or those looking for a quick fix for their problems, but a deck to be studied and savored as it re-

veals its mysteries. One of the greatest joys

of this deck is the artwork.” —Brian and Wendy Froud John Matthews has been a practicing shaman for over thirty years and is a leading authority on the Grail and Arthurian legends and the Tarot.

Deck creators are forever pushing the limits of tarot’s suits and cards, working within the confines of what makes a deck truly a tarot deck—78 cards, 4 suits, majors and minors, etc.—to shake loose new ways to innovate with these strictly ordered cards. This is a very successful reinterpretation of the

traditional suits that stays very true to the source material but truly offers users a new and unique

experience. Chris-Anne is the author and designer of this deck, which means she is able to infuse the artwork itself with layered significance that will make a difference to discerning deck buyers with its attention to detail and artistry.

ney, from the Danish fable of the naive Little Mermaid(a character who represents The Fool) to China’s Beauty and the Beast (The Lovers) to the Maori legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai (The World). The archetypes of the Minor Arcana—focused on suits of cups, coins, swords, and wands—are made richer with diverse cultural fables, ancient mythologies, and spiritual legends like the Crane Wife (Japan), Aladdin (Persia), Jack and the Beanstalk (England), Fenrir (Norway), Oedipus (Greece), the Pandavas (India), and dozens more.

As you acquaint yourself with your cards, a 44-page guidebook illuminates how these fables support tra-

ditional tarot imagery and themes. With fables from more than forty countries, this spiritual journey is a worldly experience like no other. Russian president Vladimir Putin, who, inspired by their ideas, envisions a new Eurasian civilization with Russia as its leader. Exploring Russia’s long history of mysticism and apocalyptic thought, Gary Lachman examines Russia’s

unique position between East and West and its potential role in the future of the world. Lachman discusses Russia’s original Slavic paganism and its eager adoption of mystical and apocalyptic Eastern Orthodox

Christianity. He explores the Silver Age and its occult revival with a look at Rasputin’s prophecies, Blavatsky’s Theosophy, Roerich’s Red Shambhala, and the philosophies of Berdyaev and Solovyov. He looks at Russian Rosicrucianism, the Illuminati Scare, Russian Freemasonry, and the rise of other secret societies in Russia. He explores the Russian character as that of the holy fool, as seen in the great Russian literature of the 19th century, especially Dostoyevsky. He also examines the psychic research performed by the Russian government throughout the 20th century and the influence of Evola and the esoteric right on the spiritual and political milieus in Russia.

Through in-depth exploration of the philosophies that inspire Putin’s political regime and a look at Russia’s unique cultural identity, Lachman ponders what they will mean for the future of Russia and the world. What drives the Russian soul to pursue the apocalypse? Will these philosophers lead Russia to dominate the world, or will they lead it into a new cultural epoch centered on spiritual power and mystical wisdom? “The Return of Holy Russia is a startlingly brave and thrilling work of historicism and political-mystical philosophy. I found it absolutely enthralling.” —Mitch Horowitz, author of The Miracle Club

Among Gary Lachman’s many other books are Dark Star Rising and The Secret Teachers of the Western World.

THE SCHOOL OF LIFE An Emotional Education introduced by Alain de Botton $22.50, paper. School Of Life. 310 pages, b/w illustrations

Emotional intelligence affects every aspect of the way we live, from romantic to professional relationships, from our inner resilience to our social success. It is arguably the single most important skill for surviving the twenty-first century. But what does it really mean? One decade ago,

Alain de Botton founded The School of Life, an institute dedicated to understanding and improving our emotional intelligence. Now he presents the gathered wisdom of those ten years in a wide-ranging and innovative compendi-

um of emotional intelligence which forms an introduction

We aren’t ever done with the odd business of becoming that most extraordinary and prized of things, an emotionally mature person—or, to put it a simpler way, an almost grown-up adult. In an ideal society, it would be not only children who were known to need an education. All adults would recognize that they inevitably required continuing education of an emotional kind and would remain active followers of a psychological curriculum.

Schools devoted to emotional intelligence would be open for everyone, so that children would feel that they were participating in the early stages of a lifelong process.

Using his trademark mixture of analysis and anecdote, philosophical insight and practical wisdom, he considers how we interact with each and with ourselves, and how we can do so better. From the reigning master of popular

philosophy, The School of Life: An Emotional Education is an

essential look at the skill set that defines our modern lives.

We need to be sophisticated enough not to reject a truth because it sounds like something we already know. We need to be mature enough to bend down and pick up governing ideas in their simplest guises. We need to remain open to vast truths that can be stated in the language of a child.

The School of Life “can be found online, in stores, and in welcoming spaces around the globe. For more information, see: www.theschooloflife.com.”

Business & Work by Kai Romhardt, Welter

This no-nonsense Zen approach to our economic realities can change everything and help us regain our freedom.

Is it possible to be personally fulfilled, and also make a difference within our current financial system? If you’re skeptical, business coach and Zen practitioner Kai Romhardt proposes a minimalist, awareness-based

strategy that totally reconfigures our core economic relationships: work,

consumption, and money.

How do we do that? We need to pause, breathe, and get in touch with our true intentions. Too often, we think of the economy as something outside of us, as beyond the scope of our individual choices. We’re unhappy with how things are going, with unthinking growth that polarizes our world and condenses wealth at the top, but we don’t know what to do. Romhardt argues that individuals who wield a sharp Buddhist mindset can,

Be prepared, friends, for a new sky, a new world, a new song—to be sung by your lips, seen with your eyes, and experienced through the senses that have been afforded a higher accord to what has always been true.

demands of this transition, including identifying and integrating the shadow self, healing emotional wounds that hold us back, and discovering higher frequencies and the cellular vibration of unconditional love and Oneness. Once we reclaim ourselves as loving, conscious, creator beings and realize we are part of a global 5D team, together we can consciously help co-create a New Earth by anchoring the 5D frequency in both our inner and
