Druid's Herbal for the Sacred Earth Year
by Ellen Evert Hopman
For the ancient Druids, the healing and magical properties of herbs were inseparable from the larger cycles of the seasons, the movements of the planets, and the progression of a human life.
A Druid’s Herbal shows the reader how to use herbs when creating rituals to celebrate festivals and significant life passages such as births, house blessings, weddings, funerals, and naming ceremonies.
Drawing on extensive research and a deep personal experience with Pagan traditions, Hopman explores the history and folklore surrounding the eight major Celtic festivals: Samhain, Winter Solstice, Imbolc, Spring Equinox, Beltaine, Summer Solstice, Lugnasad, and Fall Equinox. Included are complete instructions on the medicinal and magical uses of the herbs associated with each celebration.
Using these Celtic traditions as examples, the author suggests ways to incorporate the symbolic and magical power of herbs into personal rituals that honor all phases of life from childbirth to last rites. Also included are chapters on how to prepare herbal tinctures, salves, and poultices; herbs used by the Druids; herbal alchemy and the planets; and the relationships between herbs and sacred places.
Filled with practical information and imaginative suggestions for using herbs for healing, ceremony, and magic, this book is an indispensable and comprehensive guide to age-old herbal practices.

Taoist Shaman by Mantak Chia/ Kris Deva North
Thousands of years ago the immortals known as the Shining Ones ship-wrecked on the Chinese coast. Passing their shamnic practices - such as ecstatic flight and how to find power animals and spirit guides - on to the indigenous people, they also taught them the wisdom of the Medicine wheel. From the Taoist medicine Wheel came the principles of yin and yang, the five elements, the eight forces, the Chinese zodiac, and the I Ching. The Taoist Medicine Wheel can also be found at the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine and the esoteric sexual practices of Taoist Inner Alchemy.
In Taoist Shaman, Master Mantak Chia and Kris Deva North explain the shamanic principles o the Taoist Medicine Wheel, how it is oriented on the five elements rather than the four directions, how it relates to the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, and the trigrams of the I Ching, and how it aligns with the eight forces of the pakua. Through illustrated teaching stories, the authors show how the energetic principles of each of the eight forces are reflected in the eight immortals. Guided shamanic meditations based on the Medicine Wheel teach readers how to journey to Heaven's Garden to meet new spirit guides, create personal power fields for protection and healing, clear Karmic influences, and explore sacred sexuality with the "Wheel of Love."

Womb Wisdom with CD by Padma & Anaiya Aon Prakasha
In the past and in present-day indigenous traditions, women have known that the womb houses the greatest power a woman possesses: the power to create on all levels. Utilized in the process of giving birth, this power of creation can also be tapped in the birth of projects, careers, personal healing, spirituality, and relationships. However, because the womb stores the energetic imprint of every intimate encounter - loving or not - the creative voice of the womb is often muffled or absent altogether, affecting the emotional, mental, and spiritual health of women and their relationships.
Drawing on sacred traditions from ancient India, Tibet, Egypt, Gnostic Christianity, and Judaism, the practice of Womb Wisdom empowers women to become aware of the intuitive voice of the womb outside of pregnancy and the moon cycle to unlock this potent inner source for creativity, birthing the new conscious children, spiritual growth, and transformation not only for themselves but also for their male partners. The authors include exercises to clear the past, release toxic emotions, open the womb's energetic pathways, activate the sacred sensual self, bring balance to relationships, and harness creative potential. Including intimate, individual stories of women experiencing the opening of the womb, this book also explores the forgotten sacred sites of the womb around the world as well as how the womb's energies are crucial to birth a new civilization in the spiritual shift of 2012. The accompanying 45-minute cd includes a soundscape to assist in the awakening of these creative forces.
