Searching for Mary: An Exploration of Marian Apparitions Across the U.S. ~ Usually ships in 24 hours

by Mark Garvey / Paperback / Published 1998

Join Mark Garvey as he journeys across the U.S. (from Conyers, Georgia, to Bayside, New York, to Necedah, Wisconsin) seeking resolution to the mystery shrouding the Marian apparitions of our century. Garvey engages the reader with his first person account and intellectual address of not only the apparition phenomena, but the often mundane people to whom Mary seems so drawn to impart her messages, as well as the modern pilgrims who brave rain, cold, and vast distances for their faith. Garvey's observations are equitably balanced; from one pilgrim's warning that UFOs are the vehicles of the devil's workers to Garvey's personal encounters with spiritual mystery during his expedition, insuring that "Searching for Mary" is not simple tabloid journalism, but a glimpse into the mystical heritage still clasped in the hearts of some followers of the Catholic faith.

After Death: How People Around the World Map the Journey After Life ~ Usually ships in 24 hours

by Sukie Miller / Paperback / Published 1998

Mixing contemporary case studies drawn from her own psychotherapy practice with cultural data gathered by the Institute for the Study of the Afterdeath is Miller's recipe for an inspirational discussion of what happens after we die. From an analysis of the institute's database of beliefs from cultures comfortable with the idea of death, Miller constructs an map of the "afterdeath," giving readers a face to go with death, rather than leaving them to stare into amorphous nothingness. "After Death" isn't a comprehensive tour book to the other side, but it is the beginning of an important conversation that most people avoid, as well as a handle for grasping this final mystery we all have to face at some point in our lives.

Star Song Oracle ~ Usually ships in 24 hours

by Delfina Rose / Hardcover / Published 1997

In the background to these divinatory amulets, Rose presents an interesting view of humanity's origins, not as evolved apes, but as multidimensional beings from the stars who chose to don the mantle of flesh and polarity, becoming the male and female creatures we are today. While we have nearly forgotten this ancient time, the Star Song amulets are a catalyst to awaken those memories. Strongly reminiscent of Native American images, the amulets are simultaneously simple and complex to use for divination, as there are no set interpretations of the symbols to memorize. The latitude such open interpretation allows means that the user is much more dependent on intuition, and as a result, the "Star Song Oracle" has a vast potential for developing the spirit as well as imparting information about the future or the past.
