The Expected One: A Novel (Magdalene Line Trilogy Book 1)

The Expected One by Kathleen McGowanThis is a fantastic trilogy about Mary Magdalene, soulmates and Eternal LOVE based on historical accounts throughout France. This is one of the trilogy and written in such a powerful adventure style that it keeps one on the edge of their seats! We absolutely LOVE this work and have a deeper insight into the lives of Jesus and all the disciples… including Mary Magdalene

Sacred Symbols of the Ancients

sacred symbols of the ancientsThis was my first book learning about Astrology. Imagine my surprise to find out that it also meant learning about numerology, tarot cards and more! What a wonderful gift, and so informative about individual birthdates. It’s based on the 52 playing cards, identifying with the number, suit and order ~ truly inspired. I still use this method in many of my readings.


Cards of Your Destiny: What Your Birthday Reveals About You and Your Past, Present, and Future Destiny Cards of your destinyThis is very similar to the Sacred Symbols, perhaps a simpler version! Many students have loved how easy this book is to understand and apply. Great for beginners. “Reveal the secrets of your future, inform your present, and explain your past using just your birthdate and a deck of cards.”


The Power of Myth

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An extraordinary book that reveals how the themes and symbols of ancient narratives continue to bring meaning to birth, death, love, and war.

The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell with Bill Moyers I mainly watched the video interviews  with Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers and learned so much about other religions and belief systems. It “wet my appetite” to want to KNOW more and to realize that there IS ONLY ONENESS … LOVE IS THE ONLY REALITY.  Wonderful information AND AWESOME GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE.!

Here’s a link to a wonderful video: Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth ‘The Hero’s Adventure’


The Secret Teachings of All Ages: An Encyclopedic Outline of Masonic, Hermetic, Qabbalistic and Rosicrucian Symbolical Philosophy (Dover Occult)

The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. HallThis is such an amazing collection of incredible information, that I continue to learn from. It may take a lifetime to “absorb” but if you have an inquiring mind … this is IT!

The Secret Teachings of All Ages is a fascinating survey covering topics as diverse as Astrology and the Zodiac, American Indian symbolism, Egyptian ceremonial magic and sorcery, Kabbalah, alchemy, cryptology, and Tarot, along with Masonry, gemology, and the identity of William Shakespeare. Hundreds of entries range from classical antiquity and oracles, to Islamic and Christian history, the arcane rituals of Druids, Freemasons, Rosicrucian doctrines and tenets, alchemists, other secret societies.


Asteroid Goddess by Demetra George & Douglas Bloch

“This book shows how the discovery of the asteroids Ceres, Pallas Athena, Juno, and Vesta coincided with the shift of a woman. The creating, supporting, nurturing aspect held by the goddess Ceres, the universal mother, brings us to how we feel nurtured and how we function with our roles of mother-child. She embodies the principle of unconditional love. Pallas Athena is our Warrior Goddess, a woman in a man’s world, carrying the principle of creative intelligence. Vesta, our goddess of Focus and Commitment, is our High Priestess. Juno, the Queen of Heaven and Divine Consort, is our capacity for meaningful relationships. Understanding the themes that each goddess holds enriches our understanding of that function and expression in our lives. “


Spiritual Astrology by Jan SillerLoved Jan Spiller’s work, followed her for years. This gives an extra look at HOW the Eclipses affect our birth charts! Amazing


Medicine Cards-book by Jamie SamsThese are fabulous messages from the animal Kingdom. When traveling, we’d see lots of deer, horses, owls etc. Then we’d look up the meaning and get our FOCUS for the day. What a beautiful GIFT and understanding. BRAVO!


medicine wheel astrology by sun bear and wabunThis information expanded my mind, taking in the this awesome info and how everything seems to line up with traditional astrology as well! “The Medicine Wheel is a beautiful and inspiring approach to graceful, holistic living in trying modern times.


 Dancing with the Wheel- The Medicine Wheel Workbook by Sun Bear and Wabun WindThis is a wonderful workbook that takes us on a magical journey to discover the secrets of the Medicine Wheel! The Native American philosophy behind the vision of the Medicine Wheel is that all things and beings on the earth are related and, therefore, must be in harmony for the earth to be balanced. Dancing with the Wheel teaches you how to apply this philosophy to your daily life through many practical exercises and ceremonies. These exercises will help you gain energy from the spirits, which can heal both humans and the earth.”


Sacred Path Cards by Jamie SamsThese are wonderful cards with interpretation by Jamie Sams. She is so magical and brings a lot of depth to every image and meaning. “The 44 beautifully illustrated cards, each endowed with a particular meaning and message, may be drawn individually for a daily lesson or laid out in a series of spreads that open up different paths to inner knowledge. Used with the accompanying text, which explains the various forms and methods of interpretation and divination, the cards are a powerful tool for enhanced self-awareness and positive change.”


The Celestine Prophecy by Jams Redfield

We read this book in our early years, what an incredible adventure, we couldn’t put the book down! Now it’s in this audio version and we love it.

“In the rain forests of Peru, an ancient manuscript has been discovered. Within its pages are nine key insights into life itself – insights each human being is predicted to grasp sequentially; one insight, then another, as we move toward a completely spiritual culture on Earth. Drawing on ancient wisdom, it tells you how to make connections among the events happening in your life right now and lets you see what is going to happen to you in the years to come. The story it tells is a gripping one of adventure and discovery, but it is also a guidebook that has the power to crystallize your perceptions of why you are where you are in life and to direct your steps with a new energy and optimism as you head into tomorrow.”

The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision (The Celestine Prophecy Book 2)

The Tenth Insight by James Redfield

Mayan oracle by Ariel Spilsbury & Michael BrynerIn the beginning of the book is a short “vision”called THE MYTHIC CALL and we were in tears. We answered the call. Cards are included and are a great learning tool with beautiful artwork.

“Forming a “language of light” that represents a bridge between physical and spiritual realities, these ancient symbols have the power to catalyze growth, change, and awareness. Interacting with these glyphs establishes a personal “resonance,” or direct communication with each of the symbols, creating a conduit through which to receive their galactic energies.”


The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ by Levi

This is an account of the missing years of Jesus and is fascinating! “Of special interest and value are the full and intimate details concerning his life during the eighteen years spent in travel among the snow-bound monasteries of Tibet, the stately structures of Egypt, the mysterious temples of India, Persia, and Greece, a period when he walked and talked with monks, wise men, and seers throughout the Orient.”


bringers of the dawn by Barbara Marciniak

We were blessed to meet Barbara Marciniak when we lived in CA. It’s the first time we ever did a 12 chakra meditation, it was fantastic! “ “By remembering that we are Family of Light, that we share an ancient ancestry with the universe around us, we become “bringers of the dawn,” consciously creating a new reality, a new Earth.


Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian l. weiss

WHEN I FIRST READ THIS BOOK IT STIRRED MEMORIES FROM LONG AGO! I recalled a recent past life of being a Native American woman with three children, living peacefully on the land feeling safe and happy. Then came the “intruders” who were greedy murders and they had a “mission” to annihilate the “savages” and claim all the land for themselves. It continues to be a LESSON of forgiveness and a realization that there is NO DEATH … we live many lives. I highly recommend the work of Brian L. Weiss.


the impersonal life by joseph sieber banner

“The Impersonal Life” written by Joseph Sieber Benner under the pen name “Anonymous” – Still the intellect and invite your Soul to do the teaching. Most of all, try to realize that the “I” speaking through the Message is the Spirit within, your own Soul, the Impersonal Self, the Real You; the same Self that in other moments of quiet points out to you your mistakes, your follies, your weaknesses, and is ever chiding and aiding you to live up to Its ideals, which It continually holds before your mental gaze.


The Mayan Oracle: A Galactic Language of Light Cards by Angeles Arrien

I have used the Thoth Deck for years and had a problem with the dark magician energies of Aleister Crowley. This book includes the interpretations & paintings by Lady Frieda Harris who brings the LIGHT into these beautiful cards. This is a MUST for any serious student of tarot and a wonderful compliment to the cards! SAMPLE

Jonathon Livingston Seagull by Richard BachWhat a fabulous book and if you get a chance, watch the music video with Neil Diamond. We continue to revisit this wonderful story of a “misfit” that defied all that didn’t believe he could FLY amazing heights and do things other seagulls couldn’t.


Illusions by Richard Bach

We loved this, “Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah” and have shared it many times with our friends! “In Illusions, the unforgettable follow-up to his phenomenal bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Richard Bach takes to the air to discover the ageless truths that give our souls wings: that people don’t need airplanes to soar . . . that even the darkest clouds have meaning once we lift ourselves above them . . . and that messiahs can be found in the unlikeliest places—like hay fields, one-traffic-light midwestern towns, and most of all, deep within ourselves.”


Kryon The New Beginning

These were one of the first”channeled” messages ~ we read ALL the books and it impressed us with such TRUTH! Lee Carrol has been around a long time and is now doing video segments that are available on line. Fascinating, intriguing and promotes thought provoking ideas.


Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East by Baird SpauldingLife and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East (6 Volume Set)

These are some of the most intriguing books written by Baird Spaulding. He was commissioned by wealthy backers to find out about the mysteries of some of the Masters abilities to transport and bi-locate to more than one place at a time, and perform “miracles”. Information about when Jesus Christ was learning how to do these things and more, explains a lot about the “secrets” and teachings He received while in India. Exception material!


autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda“One of the Top 100 Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century. This is a new edition, featuring previously unavailable material, of a true spiritual classic. Autobiography of a Yogi is one of the best-selling Eastern philosophy titles of all-time, with millions of copies published. New Bonus Materials added to this edition include: a) the last chapter that Yogananda wrote in 1951 covering the years 1946–1951 that was not originally available in the first edition (and without posthumous changes), b) the eulogy that Yogananda wrote for Gandhi, and c) a new afterword by Swami Kriyananda, one of Yogananda’s closest direct disciples. Yogananda’s masterpiece has been named one of the greatest and most influential books of the twentieth century. This highly prized verbatim reprinting of the original 1946 edition is (unlike other publishers’ editions) free from textual changes made after Yogananda’s death. Yogananda was the first yoga master of India whose mission brought him to live and teach in the West. His firsthand account of his life experiences in India includes childhood revelations, stories of his visits to saints and masters in India, and long-secret teachings of yoga and Self-realization that he first made available to the Western reader.”


Angel cards-book by Kathy Tyler & Joy DrakeThese are so delightful, pick a card anytime and get a special message from the “Angels”. They are a great way to set the tone for any reading, indicating the “mood” of the recipient.


crystal ally cards by Naisha Ahsian

Crystal ally cards by Naisha Ahsian is such a great reference guide to the mineral Kingdom, the book is included with the cards. Love that you can look up the meaning of most stones and get messages that can really help.


An Astrological Mandala by Dane Rudhyar

“Since the book was first published in 1973, it has become a staple in many professional astrologers’ toolkits. The images cultivated by Rudhyar are used for further contemplation of every degree of the zodiac. The images for each degree can be used to add insight to the meaning of the planets, the lunar nodes, or any significant point in the horoscope. Many astrologers now consult the Sabian symbols when interpreting progressions in order to reflect on the degree of progressed New Moon.” This is fascinating and truly magical.


Sabian Symbols Marc Edmund JonesThis is really my favorite book about the Sabian Symbols. Marc Edmond Jones has a little different perspective, fascinating! “Includes, for each of the 360 degrees of the zodiac: the symbolical picture, an interpretation in present-day psychological significance, a keyword for use in quick or at sight analysis, the positive and negative influences, the formula to determine the relationship between these symbols, and illustrated with 1000 horoscopes of well-known people.”


Chiron by Barbara Hand Clow

“Chiron is alchemist and healer, initiator and visionary, teacher of integrity and of bravery.”  When I first read this book I was just amazed! Chiron is known as “THE WOUNDED HEALER” and indicates WHERE we may need healing, HOW we have been WOUNDED in the past and WHAT we need to do in order to HEAL those hidden aspects of ourselves. We LOVE her work and view points, Barbara Hand Clow continues to be a Master Teacher.
