Shinto: The Ancient Religion of Japan: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This short work is a compilation of religious lore mainly of a historical background. The primordial Japanese religion of Shinto is quite complex, but the linguistic content here is secondary and much of it is a description of the different types and usages of deities and rituals. It is worth noting that Astons' study coincides with the rise of Japan as a power in the world and the analysis herein is not so much tainted as colored by that.

The Hindu Yogi Science of Breath: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This book here is mostly authentic breathing exercises from Hindu lore (some of which are taught by Yogis today quite frequently) but the author was *probably* William Atkinson, a New Thought author and publisher thought to be the hand behind works listed under the auspices of a "Yogi Ramacharaka"- indeed the introduction deconstructs the concept of a Yogi and excuses the use of the term by those not entirely encompassed by Hinduism at large.

It's well made; the exercises are fairly simple and mostly used to increase health and physical vigor, although it also mentions the mental and psychic.

Telling Fortunes by Tea Leaves: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This excellent little fortune telling work is illustrated with examples involving the telling of fortunes by tea, using a Nelros cup (still available for sale, it was quite popular then as it is now.) About seventy pages of the content is encyclopedic and solely involves listing the meanings of different figures in tea cups, left over from loose tea brewing; one of the most common and popular fortune telling methods.

I highly recommend it for those intrigued by divination. While I gravitate towards dream interpretation more than tea leaves and tarot, it is at least very well written and fairly exhaustive.

The Hidden Treasures of the Ancient Qabalah: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is a nice little work but the title is slightly misleading; while it speaks about Kabbalah it is a Theosophical manuscript (a transcription of oratory) which ties the same in to alchemy, yoga, and certain Christian and Buddhist tenets of spirituality. It is well written, and about half of it actually comprises a sort of social tract which speaks about inter-sex relationships, ethics, and then-modern culture.
