Taylors Herbal: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

Taylors Domestic Herbal is a good (and extremely early) example of the kind of medical literature sold by apothecaries and other figures at the dawn of the era of semi-standardized organic medicine. It deviates from the greater rigor in dosage and measurement from works beginning a few decades later (not to mention the wider variety of species available due to colonial importation), and from the often religiously or superstitiously-informed content in such works in the previous century.

It lists a wide variety of species both domestic and wild, and their usages- some are innocuous (like chamomile or turnips), while some are now generally regarded as highly toxic (like foxglove and datura.)

Practical Psychomancy: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little guide to the psychometric world comes courtesy of William Walker Atkinson- a prolific author under both this name and several pseudonyms, also known as Yogi Ramacharaka when writing about Hinduism, Eastern mysticism, and related topics.

The work details the basic methodology of crystal gazing, astral projection, and speaks at length of the authors own concept of the "astral tube" and "space psychomancy." Some of these concepts seem unique to his own beliefs. A number of intriguing examples of prognostication by mystics are given, including those of Cazotte.

Cistercian Legends of the 13th Century: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

The Cistercian order is one of great importance within the history of Catholicism. Their focus on hard work tended to uplift adjacent communities more than similarly constructed groups. The Cistercians, it seems, also had a very early hearty sense of humor (by the standards of the 13th century!) for some of their legends and tales involve tricking Satan, upstanding bishops and priests, and generally demonstrate their ascetic piety and charity.

This book relates a large number of tales, ranging from the humorous to the serious, and from the believable to the outright bizarre.
