red Cards at a GlanCe Renewal – Geranium: You are being offered a chance to awaken to a new life. You may need to deepen your roots and anchor yourself by taking stock of what you would like to create. This is a time to start again and grow a strong foundation. Soulmate – Rose without Thorns: This card indicates changing old communication patterns and being open to a new way of interacting. You may no longer be able to have conversations that don’t sustain your authenticity. Freedom lies ahead – better than you can imagine. Perfection – Righteous Raspberry: This card indicates protection and an inner conflict between wanting to look good and having compassion for others. Remain kind and unattached to an outcome. Being right and letting others know that you are right may not support the understanding you desire. Complacency – Crimson Dreams: Life-force energy must be taken seriously. Are you standing tall in your own dreams or trying to build on someone else’s? Sadness and an inability to disassociate from a lost dream can show up here. It is time to walk away from anything that does not deeply resonate with you. Release and be free. Insecurity – Demon Red Rainbow: Energy turned within can lead to fear and stagnation. Courage is necessary if you are to be fearless and move forward. This is a message to grow up inside, into a greater energy, and to invoke courage from the angels to progress. Discovery – Pink from Pinkton: In the past you may not have been fully prepared to face facts. Being willing to take the journey regardless of the outcome will prove rewarding. Get ready to carry a commitment through to completion. Acceptance – Cherry Heart: Innocence and an inability to see one’s gifts are indicated, as well as the protection of spirit guides, good luck and an increase in self-esteem and confidence.

The Secret Teachings of Jesus Lars Muhl By the same author:

9781780286723

The Law of Light is the result of Muhl’s many years spent studying Aramaic and the techniques of Yeshua (Jesus). Through the Aramaic language, his teachings offer not just another interpretation of the New Testament, but the unveiling of a secret message that attempts to settle centuriesold conceptions of sin, and to once again connect man with the heavenly spiritual source. The core of Yeshua’s Aramaic message is intimacy, freedom, selfless awareness, unconditional love, compassion and forgiveness. In all he says, there exists a hidden invitation to us to be present in, and dedicated to, everything with which we engage. lars muhl was a successful musician and student of religion and esoteric knowledge. In 1996, he was struck down by an illness that neither doctors nor alternative therapists could diagnose. His experience was described in his bestseller The O Manuscript. Lars was one of Watkins Books’ 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People of 2013 and 2014.

9781780285313

In one compelling volume, Osho discusses the ancient Taoist text, The Secret of the Golden Flower – considered a synthesis of all the great religions, and a stripped-back ideal of where spiritual seekers are placing themselves now. Within its pages Osho demystifies all the important terms used by the Chinese mystic Lu Tsu, and shares his meditation exercises. He also outlines the qualities of animus and anima – our male and female energies – and explains the importance of their relationships inside each of us. The book includes valuable techniques and gives specific instructions on the Taoist Golden light meditation. osho is one of the best-known and most provocative spiritual teachers of our time. The Sunday Times has named him one of the ‘1,000 makers of the 20th century’. More than two decades after his death, the influence of his teachings continues to grow, reaching seekers around the world.

C H AN GE This month change is afoot! But don’t panic – the transformations you make will be for the better. Perhaps you’re someone who thrives on change, or perhaps you’d rather keep things just as they are. Either way, the exercises this month will show you how even the smallest change – a little tweak here or there – can ripple through your life to transform what already is into what could be. You’ll learn how a simple shift in perspective can turn a negative situation into a positive one and how breaking a habit can help you to feel empowered throughout your life. Best of all, you’ll learn that change is one of life’s little inevitabilities and that sometimes allowing yourself to ride the wind like the seeds of a dandelion clock, letting the rush of excitement lift and envelop you, offers an opportunity for something new and wondrous to happen. This month, open your heart to change, strive to accept it (even if you’re afraid to) and let it fill every day with potential and possibility.

TRIUMPH OVER PROCRASTINATION

NOTES

Knowing what you need to do is one thing. Doing it is quite another. We all know how it feels when procrastination tempts us with her distractions; how challenging it can be actually to begin a task we’d rather not do at all. This week, stop procrastinating: every day, give yourself a short amount of time – say, 15 minutes – to work on a particular task you’d rather not do. Dive into it – 15 minutes isn’t that long – and your task will be underway. Once you’ve started, the 15 minutes will fly by and you may just keep going, even perhaps until you’re done.

EXPLORE

APRIL

April is your time to explore. This month, open your senses to the world beyond only what you see. Like a bird on the wing sensing its way to new worlds, you have within you an innate desire for learning and discovery – even if sometimes that means digging deep, tapping into all your five senses and finding courage. Unlike some birds, though, you need not fly far to explore new worlds. This month, think of every day and every experience as an opportunity for exploration. Perhaps you’ll venture into unchartered territory, reminding yourself of the potential for reward that lies just around every new corner. Insight, self-awareness and learning might allow you to explore your own life, belief patterns and behaviours, so that you can hone your life skills and better understand the beliefs and behaviours of others. And what about the small things? Sometimes we’re so busy with big exploration, we forget that exploring what we experience on a daily basis – even the food that we eat – can reveal just how amazing what’s already around us, right here and now, can be.

The oCCUlT

The Ultimate Book for Those Who Would Walk with the Gods Colin Wilson By the same author:

9781905857692

Colin Wilson’s classic work, The Occult, is the essential guidebook to the mind-expanding experiences and discoveries of the 20th century. Republished a year after the author’s death in December 2013, and with a new foreword by Colin Stanley, this edition celebrates Wilson’s enduring achievements and his monumental artistry. His genius lies in his distinctive ability to clarify without simplifying, seeing the occult in the light of reason and reason in the light of the mystical and paranormal. The Occult is an indisputable triumph; its interpretation of the supernatural, the history of magic and our own latent powers remains as refreshingly optimistic and invigorating as it first did 43 years ago. Colin wilson (d. 2013) was a prolific English author. He wrote many books on subjects such as the paranormal and philosophy, including The Outsider and Mysteries. The Occult is regarded by some as his ‘tour de force’.

Scientific Evidence that Earth was Created By Humans Christopher Knight By the same author:

g 9781905857111

Does God exist? Whilst the case has been hotly disputed over recent generations with scientists on one side and theologians on the other, evidence either way has been thin on the ground. But now new information has become available, which appears to provide hard-nosed evidence of God’s existence. Nothing less than God’s ‘blueprint’ appears to have been discovered – found by chance by the author while researching the Neolithic people of Western Europe. Leading you through the evidence step-by-step at the close of the book you will be able to make your own judgment as to whether the case is proven or not. Christopher knight is the co-author of several international bestsellers, including The Hiram Key, Civilization One and Who Built The Moon? He runs a marketing company in Yorkshire, and travels the world giving lectures. He is a frequent broadcaster on radio and TV, as well as online.

Discovering the Ancient Secrets of the Sacred Isle Claire Nahmad By the same author:

9781842932547

In Pilgrimage to Iona, Claire Nahmad takes you on a revelatory journey, detailing Iona’s magical history in addition to the veneration it inspires in its numerous pilgrims. She also explains Iona’s fascinating links to the extraordinary Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. In 1546, the Queen of Scots spoke of ‘a great secret within Rosslyn’, which she kept faithfully for the rest of her life. This ‘great secret’, never before disclosed, is fully unveiled by Nahmad along with the enduring mysteries of Iona. Pilgrimage to Iona reaches back into the depths of this sacred isle’s history and, in doing so, enables you to awaken to the unfolding spiritual truths of the present.

Claire Nahmad has written a number of bestselling books on feminine spirituality, angel communication and esoteric secrets contained within history. Her books have a strong following worldwide and include The Secret Teachings of Mary Magdalene and Summoning Angels. 26

9781780283845

The hymn ‘Jerusalem’, with its famous words by William Blake, stirs our hearts with its evocation of a new holy city built in ‘England’s green and pleasant land’. In Jerusalem, Churton weaves an enthralling tapestry out of the threads of Blake’s spiritual quest. For some, Blake is a ‘romantic poet’ whose plain language, simple verse forms and sympathy with everyday humanity is deeply moving. To others, he is a revolutionary, an angry rebel with ideas about free sex. This biography is essential for those who seek spiritual awakening and an antidote to both materialism and to the commercialization of wonder. Tobias Churton is a leading scholar of Western Esotericism, a tradition that encompasses Blake’s deepest influences. Honorary Fellow and Faculty Lecturer in Western Esotericism at Exeter University, Tobias holds a Master’s degree in Theology from Brasenose College, Oxford. His many books include Elias Ashmole and Aleister Crowley: The Biography. 27
