Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft
Category : Religion
Author : Raymond Buckland, Ray Buckland
ISBN (No Dashes) : 0875420508
|
|
Description : Often refereed to as Wicca: 101 or the Big Blue Book, this is a handy guide for beginners, or a interesting resource for those interested in “what witches do”. Although there are several dozen good books on the subject of Wicca and witchcraft in general, many still feel that Buckland’s guide is a great introductory or primer book. The book takes a very broad look at most aspects of witchcraft including ritual tools, divination, magical and medicinal herbs, altar furniture, history and circle construction, dreams and meditation, and spells for personal use. The book is comprehensive if sometimes lacking in depth, a good reference tool for any practioner.

Siddhartha
Category : Religion
Author : Hermann Hesse
ISBN (No Dashes) : 0553208845
|
|
Description : In the shade of a banyan tree, a grizzled ferryman sits listening to the river. Some say he's a sage. He was once a wandering shramana and, briefly, like thousands of others, he followed Gotama the Buddha, enraptured by his sermons. But this man, Siddhartha, was not a follower of any but his own soul. Born the son of a Brahmin, Siddhartha was blessed in appearance, intelligence, and charisma. In order to find meaning in life, he discarded his promising future for the life of a wandering ascetic. Still, true happiness evaded him. Then a life of pleasure and titillation merely eroded away his spiritual gains until he was just like all the other "child people," dragged around by his desires. Like Hermann Hesse's other creations of struggling young men, Siddhartha has a good dose of European angst and stubborn individualism. His final epiphany challenges both the Buddhist and the Hindu ideals of enlightenment. Neither a practitioner nor a devotee, neither meditating nor reciting, Siddhartha comes to blend in with the world, resonating with the rhythms of nature, bending the reader's ear down to hear answers from the river. In this translation Sherab Chodzin Kohn captures the slow, spare lyricism of Siddhartha's search, putting her version on par with Hilda Rosner's standard edition. --Brian Bruya

The Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Going Forth by Day
Category : Religion
Author : Raymond Faulkner, Ogden Goelet, Carol Andrews
ISBN (No Dashes) : 0811807673
|
|
Description : The Papyrus of Ani is the best example of the ancient Egyptian funerary papyrus which we commonly refer to today as the Book of the Dead. This edition shows the actual papyrus in beautiful full color as well as provides the reader with a translation by Dr. Raymond Faulkner, a vast improvement over the piss-poor translation of the same papyrus by Sir E.A.Wallis-Budge.
