Psychic powers and psychic phenomena Books

Book SynopsisOpportunities to enter a spiritual place are all around us, but we often don’t recognise them. Pause - A Spiritual Power helps the reader identify those moments and enter places of spiritual pause. The spiritual life, often neglected, exists apart from our thoughts and feelings. Pause… explores how spirituality is separate and how we often mistakenly substitute rational and emotional experiences for spiritual experience. To be spiritual is not to be religious or bound to a specific understanding of God. To be human is to have a spirit within, regardless of religious commitment or persuasion. Attending to one’s spiritual life, finding pause, is not confined or defined by any one faith tradition. In Pause..., author Rob Wykes relates accounts of his own journeys - physical and spiritual - that have helped him discover his own spiritual self. Part of his story is a literal pilgrimage on foot and by bike that brought him into a deeper understanding of pause. Attending to one’s spiritual being is as important as physical health and emotional self-care. Learning to find pause in life’s experiences and to enter those spiritual places yields profound meaning and pleasure many have never before known.

Book SynopsisAn exploration of animal spirituality and the ability of animals to communicate with humans even in the afterlife. Looking for companionship after a near-fatal car crash, Elena Mannes, an award-winning television journalist and producer, decided to get her first dog. But what she found with her dog Brio shook the foundations of her physical and spiritual worlds, sending her on a quest to discover the nature of his spiritual origins and to contemplate and seek out the possibility of interspecies communication--even after death. Soon after bringing her puppy home, Mannes realized that the master-companion relationship would not be possible with Brio, who quickly showed that he had a mind--and a spirit--of his own. A healer Mannes visited immediately focused on Brio, exclaiming that he was an old soul. Mannes’s growing curiosity about the intelligence, emotions, and consciousness of Brio and other dogs led her to contact an animal psychic in California who described, with amazing accuracy, Brio’s favorite walks and the author’s apartment from the dog’s point of view. Motivated by her experience, Mannes produced a filmed segment with Diane Sawyer featuring the same psychic, who described Sawyer’s country house and her dog’s favorite spots in the yard. Spanning the entire life and afterlife of Brio, including his last days and his messages to the author after he passed on, this book also explores Mannes’ investigations into the spiritual life of animals, offering a new understanding of the unbreakable bond between humans and animals.Trade Review“This is a must-read, a spiritual journey into the life of the soul dog. This wonderful book teaches about the unconditional love and unbreakable bonds that exist between humans and animals.” * Bash Dibra, coauthor of Dog Training by Bash and DogSpeak *“My former colleague Elena Mannes has always been on a quest to discover more about the animals she loves. Soul Dog takes her beyond science into mystical paths--the yearning for consolation and possibility. She writes that animals teach us to listen. Elena is their friend, ready to hear.” * Diane Sawyer, American television journalist *“Enlightening! An important read for people who want to connect with their dog’s soul after death.” * Jennifer Skiff, bestselling author of The Divinity of Dogs *“Soul Dog is a very thought-provoking book. Steeped in science and heart, Ms. Mannes passionately shares her own experiences with Brio. This book opens the door for wide-ranging musings about what dogs can teach us if we open our minds and hearts.” * Marc Bekoff, author of Canine Confidential: Why Dogs Do What They Do *“Do you have a dog and wonder about your relationship? Then this is a must-read. A touching, insightful, and thought-provoking book that compels you to look at your animals in a new way. It is a wonderful example of just how deep and mutually enriching the dog-human relationship can be.” * Diane Budd, animal communicator and healer and author of Energy Medicine for Animals *“Elena Mannes writes eloquently of her unfolding journey of awareness with soul dog Brio. With gentle nudges and congenial canine humor, Brio guides Mannes through the mysteries of animal communication and ultimately helps her awaken to the magic that occurs when we learn to trust and listen to the truth of our deeper self.” * Dawn Baumann Brunke, author of Animal Voices, Animal Guides *“Elena and Brio’s soul story showcases the precious trans-species adoration and communication in life and the afterlife between a woman and her dog. Discovering Brio’s creative and original mind, Mannes’s own testimony, both reflective and humorous, weaves science and personal experience into a kind of Tao of dog. She shows that sentient animal kin are teaching humans how to sit, walk, stay, and lie down in reciprocal respect, love, and joy. This book sparkles with delight.” * Zohara M. Hieronimus, D.H.L., author of White Spirit Animals: Prophets of Change *“Hidden in the fabric of a curly coat, Elena Mannes discovers a real, in-the-flesh angel whom she comes to know as her soul dog, Brio. She teaches us that a soul dog connects us with our own all-knowing soul, the indestructible force of God that lives within us and within the animals that we may take for granted. This brave author beautifully balances incredibly precise messages from animal communicators and psychics with scientific studies all directed at the same discovery--we are more connected than we might think. May every reader be inspired to listen to the farreaching wisdom of a trusted pet and be blessed to have your heart blown open by the healing power of their unconditional, and forever, love.” * Belinda J. Womack, author of Lessons from the Twelve Archangels *"What makes Soul Dog more than just another glimpse into this world is the manner in which Mannes takes nothing at face value. Bringing the author out of the isolation she experienced following the accident, Brio connected her not only to previously unknown aspects of animals, but to her own unacknowledged spiritual nature." * Best Friends Magazine March/April 2019 *Table of ContentsForeword by Robert A.

Book Synopsis• Shares data and meta-analysis from a large volume of extremely sophisticated experiments that provide proof for the existence of psi phenomena • Explores evidence of past lives, intuitive knowing, and other spiritual phenomena • Reveals the author’s own inexplicable experiences as well as her conversations with scientific colleagues, high-level experts, and government officials Neuroscientist Mona Sobhani, Ph.D., details her transformation from diehard materialist to open-minded spiritual seeker and shares the extensive research she discovered on past lives, karma, and the complex interactions of mind and matter. She reveals her conversations about spirituality, consciousness, and anomalous occurrences with scientific colleagues as well as high-level experts and government officials, as she searched for proof of a meaningful cosmos. She discovered that psi research has been conducted on a grand scale for more than a century--by hundreds of scientists with hundreds of thousands of participants--and that there exists substantial evidence for the reality of psi. She examines meta-analyses of these experiments, such as that of the Ganzfield tests, which showed the odds against chance of 12 billion to 1--throwing our current scientific materialist paradigm into question. Providing a deep dive into the literature of psychology, quantum physics, neuroscience, philosophy, and esoteric texts, Sobhani also explores the relationship between psi phenomena, the transcendence of space and time, and spirituality. Culminating with the author’s serious reckoning with one of the foundational principles of neuroscience--scientific materialism-- this illuminating book shows that the mysteries of human experience go far beyond what the present scientific paradigm can comprehend and leaves open the possibility of a participatory, meaningful Universe.Trade Review“In Proof of Spiritual Phenomena, neuroscientist Mona Sobhani, Ph.D., takes the reader through her journey from being a skeptically oriented scientific materialist to realizing there’s much more to the Universe. This entertaining and easy-to-read book weaves Sobhani’s personal experiences with a diverse body of credible science to demonstrate the desperate need for a revised scientific meta-paradigm. It is this sort of courage and intellectual honesty that will be required for science—and society—to truly evolve.” * Mark Gober, author of An End to Upside Down Thinking and host of Where Is My Mind? podcast *“Thank the Universe for Mona Sobhani! Is it any coincidence that neuroscientists, after looking carefully at the brain to answer age-old questions, are starting to turn to spirituality? Nope. It’s because they don’t find what they are looking for in the materialist paradigm, but they know what they’re looking for is real. Sobhani leads the pack with her brilliant and vulnerable take on what it means for her and other scientists to turn the corner from materialism to post-materialist thought--and why it’s necessary to explain human experience, including and especially human spiritual experience. By letting us into her journey, she shows us parts of ourselves that are learning a new way of knowing, and then she supports our growing knowledge with her hard-won wisdom.” * Julia Mossbridge, Ph.D., affiliate professor at the University of San Diego, cofounder of the Instit *“Mona Sobhani is a ‘flipped’ scientist, a neuroscientist whose mechanical-materialist worldview was turned upside down and inside out by a series of honest life experiences that she refused to deny and instead insisted on thinking through. Her book is a page-turning journey filled with everything from coffee ground divinations, mediums, and intuitives; through past lives, secret government psychical research programs, and the new psychedelic research; to the latest scientific and philosophical visions of a conscious, intentional, and profoundly meaningful cosmos. Her message? The old order of knowledge is passing away. Let it go. The new world is taking shape in and as us. Let it be.” * Jeffrey J. Kripal, Ph.D., author of The Flip: Epiphanies of Mind and the Future of Knowledge *“Like opening a set of nesting dolls, Sobhani takes us on her own journey through the layers of her own mind--from the outermost layer grounded in the physical and empirical world, to the intellectual mind which struggles to make sense of everything, and eventually to the innermost, blissful self, where pure consciousness and just being resides. It’s a delightful ride along where one can vicariously experience the author’s struggle to reconcile science and spirituality, as she comes to rest in knowing that it is fine to accept some things as just a mystery!” * Laura Baker, Ph.D., psychology professor at USC *“Proof of Spiritual Phenomena is a daring, exciting exploration of the intersection of human consciousness and the intricacies of the physical Universe.” * Larry Dossey, M.D., author of One Mind *“With Proof of Spiritual Phenomena, you hold the key to unlocking a whole new level of experiencing and understanding, not only the world around you that you can see but also the one you can’t see. Backed up with easyto- understand science as well as mind-blowing evidence and interviews, Sobhani achieves what is, in my opinion, the first book to truly unlock the intersection point between science and soul-based spirituality. This book is so outstanding and life-changing, you will find yourself buying extra copies to give to everyone you love so that they, too, can experience the magic that is Proof of Spiritual Phenomena.” * Royce Christyn, actor, host, and author of Scripting the Life You Want *Table of ContentsPREFACE Welcome to the Public Funeral for ‘Old Me’ Acknowledgments Introduction 1 Bewitched by Science 2 The Untrustworthy Brain & the Religion of Science3 The Two Events That Changed Everything4 Chelsea Handler Becomes My Guide 5 I Can’t Live in These Conditions6 The Project Begins Can Science and Spirituality Coexist?7 A Universal Pause in the Fabric of Time 8 Wait . . .

Book SynopsisONE LAST TIME is the remarkable true story of internationally acclaimed psychic medium John Edwards. John Edward began having psychic experiences when he was no more thn a toddler and in ONE LAST TIME he reveals how he discovered, and gradually developed his amazing power to foretell the future and communicate with the dead.John''s fresh and honest approach has earned him an international following amont those who seek genuine and accurate after-death communication with departed family and loved one. His extraordinary gift has opened a window to the spirit world through which comes messages of love and healing from those who have passed over to the other side. He shows us that our loved ones never cease to leave us, and never really die.Trade ReviewOne Last Time is an account of the work of a 30-year-old psychic medium, written with a refreshingly upfront attitude usually rare in such books. John Edward began having psychic experiences when a young child and by the time he was a teenager, people were asking him for readings. Before long he realised that he wasn't just getting psychic impressions from his clients, but was actually receiving messages from the dead. The title of the book comes from a conversation with his mother shortly before she died, when he said that people should be given "one last time to talk to the people in their lives"; it is this, he believes, that he is doing. Edward is honest about his own doubts and his problems: "I never forget that I can always be wrong. What I do is full of ambiguity and inconsistency, and sometimes second guesses." Although he hears the spirits speaking to him, there are often problems in One Last Time is a warm and engaging read, totally lacking the often sickly pious preaching found in many other books about communicating with "the Other Side". John Edward is down-to-earth and straightforward and doesn't pretend to have all the answers. David V Barrett, AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW

Book SynopsisExplores our intertwined spiritual history with cats. We have been connected to cats for more than 30 million years. To our prehistoric ancestors cats were deadly predators of the night, and because of this ancient memory etched onto our DNA, cats epitomise our fear of the dark. Yet in addition to their connection to the dark and the shadows, their intelligence, sophisticated physical abilities, and finely tuned senses also led many cultures to view cats as connected to the spirit world. Exploring the spiritual nature of cats, John A. Rush looks at humanity’s fascination and fear of cats through the ages. He examines spiritual and occult beliefs connected to cats from Mayan, Aztec, and Native American mythology as well as from ancient India, Samaria, Babylon, Japan, and Egypt, including how ancient Egyptians used cats to send messages to the gods. He reveals why the Catholic Church demonised cats and how cats are symbols of both Good and Evil. Examining cat evolution, the author looks at spiritual behaviours attributed to cats as well as modern biological research into cat behaviour and their highly sophisticated sensory systems, which, unlike most other animals, have changed very little over millions of years. He explores their “psychic” ability to sense what humans cannot and the origins of their glowing eyes, which has connected cats, through myth, to both the Underworld and the World of Light. He also explores similarities between cat and human emotions, cat communications with us, and the deep connection between cats and meditation. Revealing the spiritual journey of the cat from fearsome predator to occult symbol to household companion, the author shows how, in many ways, cats are mirrors of us, reflecting our conflicting dual nature that is at once loving yet distant, magical yet vengeful, and above all, deeply connected to the spirit world.Trade Review“John A. Rush has created both a whimsical and deeply thought-provoking book about the mysterious creatures that humans refer to as cats. He thoughtfully explores the evolution of these highly intelligent psychic beings and their parallel journey with humans.” * Linda Star Wolf, Ph.D., author of Shamanic Breathwork *“John Rush writes about the diverse array of cat realms from a place of delightful passion and knowledge. One can never quite see cats the same way after reading this book. He weaves together mythology and science, history and spirituality, and cosmic and pop culture in order to aid the mass consciousness. Everyone who cares about drawing into complete harmony with the strength of a feline’s essence—or any living creature—should own a copy of Cats: Keepers of the Spirit World.” * Ruslana Remennikova, animal intuit, writer, and sound alchemist *“Shamanic shapeshifters of human consciousness—these wondrous four-legged demi-gods weave in and out of the astral plane influencing evolutionary growth on levels humans have yet to comprehend. Cats are the gatekeepers into our unconscious world, capable of entering into dimensions to impart magic and healing medicine in those spaces where wounds hide. They carry the secrets of the universe within their souls; lineages of many worlds rooted in tradition pass through them and onto their human caretakers. Their distinct meow is heard by every angel, as they walk through their existence embodying love and hope. They absorb darkness so that our light can shine over and over again and ask for nothing in return. May we honor them with the respect they truly deserve.” * Laura Aversano, author of Affirmations of the Light in Times of Darkness *Table of ContentsPreface 1.Sleeping Kittens, Crouching Tigers Connecting to Cats Defining Worship, Spirit, Spiritual, and Sacred Animals as Symbols of Nature, Both Good and Evil 2.

Book SynopsisExplores how energy healing works through multilayered and interconnected fields of consciousness• Illustrates the role of transpersonal fields of consciousness in healing a range of issues, from inherited family and ancestral problems, to past lives and womb trauma, to near-death experiences, merged identities, and spirit attachment • Shares remarkable cases of healing and personal transformation from the author’s more than 20 years of energy healing work, as well as experiences from other gifted healers, psychics, and shamans • Provides diagrams of the human energy body, the spectrum of states of awareness, the multilayered fields of consciousness, and the psycho-energetic dynamics of the transformation process Sharing remarkable cases of healing and personal transformation from his and his wife’s more than 20 years of intensive professional energy healing work as well as experiences from other gifted healers, psychics, and shamans, Peter Mark Adams illustrates the role of transpersonal fields of consciousness in heal ing a range of issues--from inherited family and ancestral problems to past lives and womb trauma to near-death experiences, merged identities, and spirit attachment. Drawing on esoteric tradition as well as scientific research, such as Rupert Sheldrake’s morphic field studies, the author maps out the human energy field in all its subtleties, providing diagrams of the human energy body, the spectrum of states of awareness, the multilayered fields of consciousness, and the psychoenergetic dynamics of the transformation process. Through compelling testimonials of powerful healings, Adams demonstrates how the processes of healing and of peak spiritual experience are closely aligned with harmony within the larger energetic field of consciousness. Proposing a new model of consciousness, reality, and energy healing that incorporates the anomalous phenomena that occurs on the outermost edges of human experience, the author draws these many strands together to outline not only a multilayered approach for different kinds of energy healing modalities, such as Reiki, breathwork, EFT, and remote healing, but also a useful program of self-help that anyone can follow to make lasting improvements to their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.Trade Review“Truly extraordinary, this book is a singular gathering of the right author with the right experience coming together with crucial knowledge that is needed in our world so much right now. We are fortunate to have access to this knowledge, and it articulates a path of healing that is applicable to all of us. I highly recommend Adams’s work--this one especially!” * Greg Kaminsky, author and host of the Occult of Personality podcast *“Brilliantly challenges our deepest-held beliefs about the nature of consciousness. Through rigorous documentation in case reports and practical, lucid explanations, Peter Mark Adams empowers us with a new set of tools and contexts to practically code and recode our reality, heal our ancestral past, understand the paranormal, and move through each moment with ethical intentionality.” * Alexander Eth, host of the Glitch Bottle podcast *“As one in search of the lost consciousness technologies of the ancients, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Peter reveals the multidimensionality of the human being by skillfully mapping the energy field of intelligence supported by groundbreaking scientists such as Rupert Sheldrake. His rational and logical methodology delivers a solid melding of scientific theories and energy healing that questions the terms of existence in which the scientific world operates. What makes this book a page-turner is the collection of real-life energy healing cases. Packed with mystery and wonderment, perhaps the most powerful thing about this book is that Peter provides hope by expanding what is possible onone’s own healing journey.” * Vanese McNeill, executive producer of the Magical Egypt documentary series *“The Power of the Healing Field outlines a new horizon of possibilities of controlling our awareness. The examples of the usage of psychic energy explained in the book illuminate the dark areas of our subconscious fears and help us to overcome the inherent fear of the infinite and impersonal. This is a very timely book that I would recommend to all thoughtful readers.” * Alina Kiprey, proprietor of the esoteric publishing house Inverted Tree *“Peter Mark Adams provides a much-needed, inspiring exploration of energy healing and the ways its successes challenge the materialist assumptions of our culture. The Power of the Healing Field is a paradigm-shifting work, and I highly recommend it for everyone drawn to the healing arts and wider ways of knowing and interacting with spirit.” * JoAnna Farrer, cofounder of the North Wyldewood Tradition of Witchcraft *“Peter Mark Adams continues to impress with the breadth of experience he brings to the topic and his ability to present it clearly and concisely. This is a fine book for beginners as their foundation will be well established, and equally, experienced healers will find it insightful and practical. There is truly something for everyone in these pages.” * Mark Stavish, author of Egregores *“As a careful researcher and spellbinding nonfiction author, Peter Mark Adams’s star has been on the rise and continuing to climb with each new offering. His unflinching willingness to tackle issues relating to the blind spots and limitations of modern Western thinking and some much-needed course corrections for modern Western science and technology are handled with his characteristic clarity, brilliance, and a frankness that is rare in this age. This book is an eyes-wide-open presentation of the very furthest frontiers of what modern science has discovered about the governing fields and invisible forces that organize the physical realm, the invisible causal movers, and primary influencers of biology. The insights offered in this book may hold the key to pulling humanity back from the brink of self-imposed annihilation, a muchneeded cause to take pause and to reexamine the presumptions that have led us to this precarious state we find ourselves in.” * Chance Gardner, writer and producer of the Magical Egypt documentary series *“The Power of the Healing Field is an unequivocal declaration that materialism is an entirely inadequate explanation for the human experience, especially in regards to modalities for physical and emotional healing.This book will be especially valuable to those who are hungry for a thoughtful taxonomy and nomenclature through which to better understand the varieties of experiences that expose the limitations of contemporary science.” * Stav Appel, author of The Torah in the Tarot *"This is an invitation to a radical change of paradigm, the embrace of which may help the effort to make us sane and whole again." * Gordan Djurdjevic, author of India and the Occult *Table of ContentsAcknowledgmentIntroduction 1 Healing, Energy, and Consciousness 2 Psi and Intuitive Knowledge 3 Healing Issues within Our Timeline 4 Healing Issues beyond Our Timeline 5 The Healing Field 6 Healing on Extended Planes of Existence 7 Healing through Spirit8 ConclusionsNotes Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisFor over 60 years, spanning from his childhood to the Cold War to the current day, former Israeli paratrooper and Six Day War veteran Uri Geller has been a major enigma. Is he merely one of the most convincing stage magicians in history, a multimillionaire entertainer, courted by presidents and rock stars? Or is the now 67 year-old UK resident the possessor of genuine paranormal powers, which have not only been tested and verified by the most demanding scientific laboratories in the US, but employed by the US and other western powers in secret operations? In July, a sensational new BBC2 documentary by Oscar-winning director Vikram Jayanti aired, bringing to light the most convincing testimony ever heard - much from retired CIA chiefs - that Geller, alongside being one of the most famous people in the world in his day, was, as late as post-9/11, operated as a psychic spy by the US military spymasters and those of other governments. But the revelations in the BBC film are merely the tip of the spooky iceberg according to FT and Observer technology writer Jonathan Margolis, who wrote Geller's biography in the late 1990s. Much weirder, scientist-documented paranormal phenomena manifested around Uri Geller in secret US government facilities throughout the 1970s and 80s. In The Secret Life of Uri Geller, the always sceptical Margolis tells the full story of how a poor boy from a broken family in the back streets of Tel Aviv went from being a playground sensation whom friends recall as baffling hapless teachers with his strange powers - to a bizarre player in the Cold War superpower mind games of the 1970s, later reactivated for the war on terrorism in this century. To those who remember Geller in his heyday to younger people who have barely heard of him, it is one of the strangest true stories ever told.

Book SynopsisNear-death experiences (NDEs) are often transformative, not only on an individual level but collectively too. This book contains a selection of inspiring stories from ordinary people who have had extraordinary experiences that have changed the course and direction of their lives and of the lives of those around them. The fundamental message behind every NDE is one of love, peace and compassion for others; their transformational power transcends cultures, faiths and creeds. It is a message we can all benefit from without having to come close to death.Trade ReviewExtraordinary transformation results from NDEs in the lives of the experiencers themselves, and this book explores many such life-changing stories in a most revealing fashion. One of its greatest gifts is its comforting portrayal of the infinite healing power of love, and the sense of connectedness with the universe that arises from such profound experiences. Science is on the cusp of a major awakening as NDEs and similar spiritually transformative experiences demand more complete explanations, all opening the door to a more meaningful understanding of the nature of consciousness, and of all of existence. --Eben Alexander MD, Neurosurgeon and author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven An enthralling read that encapsulates the positive impact Near Death experiences are having on people and the wider world. The work done by Penny Sartori and Kelly Walsh truly reinforces the important message that we are all one, all connected and that love is the most powerful source in the universe capable of healing the world. I highly recommend this well written and thought provoking book. Not only are part of the proceeds earned from the book being used to make a difference in children's lives, this book has the power within its pages to open the hearts minds and souls of every person that reads it. --Anita Moorjani, New York Times Best Selling Author

Book Synopsis"Superb survey of the paranormal ... I cannot recommend it highly enough." – New York Times bestselling author Herbie Brennan This is the most entertaining and broad survey of the paranormal ever made, combining forgotten lore, evidence from parapsychological experiments and the testament of scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, psychologists, physicists and philosophers, and also quite a few celebrities. Exploring the possibility that paranormal phenomena may be – and that some most likely are – objectively real, this travelogue through the twilight zone of human consciousness is both scientifically rigorous and extremely entertaining. Readers may be surprised to learn that reputable scientists, among them several Nobel laureates, have claimed that telepathy is a reality, that Cleopatra's lost palace and Richard III's burial place were recovered by means of clairvoyance, and that an espionage program using psychics was set up by the US military! The author proposes that all humans (perhaps all living beings) are linked together in a sort of "mental internet" that allows us to exchange "telepathic emails" and make clairvoyant downloads of information. Could it be that what we usually call "supernatural" is a natural but little understood communication via this mental internet? An engaging, entertaining and informative analysis of a controversial subject, in which these phenomena are approached as potential expressions of unexplained powers of the human mind.Trade Review"As an encyclopedic introduction to the psychic side of the fascinating but puzzling domain knownas the paranormal, there is no better choice than A Short History of (Nearly) Everything Paranormal." - Dean Radin, PhD, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS).

If you are not convinced, well then, he hopes that you will be at least entertained. I was." - Teresa Carpenter, Pulitzer-prize winner, and author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Without a Doubt "Superb survey of the paranormal (...) a veritable cornucopia of odd facts and fascinating information stitched into a much-needed survey of a vitally important subject. Although serious in content, it is written in a light, often humorous, style which is a delight to read. As someone who has myself made a lifelong study of the paranormal, I cannot recommend it highly enough." - Herbie Brennan, best-selling author New York Times book list, The Faerie Wars and other titles "Terje Simonsen is a remarkably balanced and insanely well-read guide into a literally impossible subject." - Jeffrey J.
