Book Synopsis· Provides new evidence from recent space probe missions to support Velikovsky's theories on the formation of Venus · Presents recently translated ancient texts from China, Korea and Japan that uphold the comet-like descriptions of Venus cited by Velikovsky · Examines evidence of major geomagnetic events in 1500 BCE and 750 BCE that correspond with close passes of the comet Venus and its impact with Mars · Worlds in Collision was the one book found open on Albert Einstein's desk at the time of his death. Surrounded by controversy even before its publication in 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision introduced the provocative theory that Venus began as a brilliant comet ejected by Jupiter around 1600 BCE, wreaking chaos on Mars and Earth as it roamed through our solar system prior to settling into its current orbit. Immediately dismissed without any investigation and subject to vicious attacks, Velikovsky's theory is now poised for reexamination in light of recent astronomical and archaeological findings. Exploring the key points of Velikovsky's theories, Laird Scranton presents evidence from recent space probe missions and offers scientific explanations for many disputed aspects of Velikovsky's theories, such as how Venus transformed from a comet into an orbiting planet. By updating this unresolved controversy with new scientific evidence, Scranton helps us to understand how it was that Worlds in Collision was the one book found open on Albert Einstein's desk at the time of his death.Trade Review“Scranton reminds us of Velikovsky’s contribution to our ideas about our solar system, and he hints at what else may be confirmed in the future.” * Nexus Magazine, June 2012 *Table of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction: The Irrepressible Outsider 1 Worlds in Collision and the Firestorm It Created 2 Velikovsky’s Thesis 3 Reaction and Controversy 4 Early Predictive Tests of the Theory 5 Later Developments in the Controversy 6 Venus in Ancient Times 7 Could Venus Have Been Ejected from Jupiter? 8 Could Venus Have Made a Close Approach to Earth? 9 Could Venus Have Impacted Mars? 10 Could Mars Have Made a Close Approach to Earth? 11 What Evidence Is There That Venus Was Out of Its Orbit? 12 Could Venus Be a Young Planet? 13 Could Venus Have Been a Comet? 14 Could the Orbit of Venus Have Circularized So Quickly? 15 Observations on the New Evidence Notes Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisAn exploration of our extraordinary shift away from materialism toward renewal of the numinous, mysterious, and uncertain• Examines topics that evoke widespread misunderstanding, including the real history of secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, out-of-body experience, and the contemporary war on witches• Looks at the influence of the founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker David Lynch, and debunks famous pseudo-skeptics such as the Amazing Randi• Explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick, mind metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and Ouija boards, and upends hallowed spiritual concepts like forgivenessAll of us today dwell in uncertain places--realities in which thoughts make things happen, ESP is provable by the scientific methods once used to debunk it, UFOs are mainstream, and magick no longer requires rite and ritual but is as near as your own mind. Today’s leading voice of esotericism and the occult, Mitch Horowitz explores topics that evoke widespread misunderstanding, including the real history of secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic, the relevance of Gnosticism, and the slender but authentic connection between today’s spiritual culture and antiquity, including in areas of Hermeticism, deity worship, out-of-body experience, and magick. He demonstrates the occult roots of wide-ranging facets of modern culture, including politics, abstract art, mind-body healing, self-help, and breakthrough scientific fields such as quantum physics and neuroplasticity. He looks at the influence of the founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker David Lynch, and provides a magnificent take-down of famous debunkers and pseudo-skeptics such as the Amazing Randi. He explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick, mind metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and the history of Ouija boards and questions time-honored spiritual values like forgiveness. Mitch also examines the contemporary war on witches around the world and what it is like to be blacklisted. Offering a thought-provoking investigation of the spiritual, the occult, the magickal, and the extra-physical, Mitch lays the groundwork for readers to continue their own journeys into these esoteric streams of consciousness.Trade Review“Treats esoteric ideas and movements with an even-handed intellectual studiousness that is too often lost in today’s raised-voice discussions.” * Washington Post *“This book is nothing less than a masterpiece. It introduces, informs, inspires, and ignites critical thinking in a way that is unique to Horowitz’s creative mind. He is a constant source of infectious curiosity and openmindedness; no esoteric stone, small or big, is left unturned in his pursuit of new perspectives and connections. His mind and work are those of a restless rebel who provokes the stagnant and causally dull with sparks and nuggets of great wisdom. In many ways, Horowitz is the perfect mix of Manly P. Hall, Joseph Campbell, and Prometheus, eloquently carrying the torch of mythic and spiritual illumination into the twenty-first century.” * Carl Abrahamsson, author of Source Magic and Occulture *“In Uncertain Places, Mitch Horowitz achieves the impossible. He provides a crystal-clear look at topics that are drenched in the murkiest of ambiguities yet continue to fascinate every living soul. Horowitz aims a brilliantly lucid lens toward the great unwashed domain of the occult, and he magically manages to bring into view shocking truths about a realm that has always been hiding in plain sight.” * Dean Radin, Ph.D., author of Real Magic *“Mitch Horowitz is at his best when he throws new light on the hidden subtext of accepted dogma. From ‘anarchic magick’ to ‘reclaiming the damned,’ Uncertain Places stands as a sweeping reinterpretation of major themes at the sharp edge of American imagination.” * Jacques Vallée, coauthor of TRINITY: The Best-Kept Secret *“I admire Mitch Horowitz enormously. He has struggled virtually singlehandedly to get the American intelligentsia to give occult and esoteric currents the serious attention they deserve. This collection exemplifies the intelligence, sincerity, and integrity Mitch has always brought to his inquiry. He has fearlessly faced some of the most awkward subjects in his field and cast his own unique light on them. Fascinating and erudite.” * Richard Smoley, author of A Theology of Love: Reimagining Christianity through A Course in Miracles *“What a welcome guide in these uncertain times! Mitch Horowitz continues his program for bringing esoteric ideas out of the closet and into the public forum. Here he reveals the New Age for what it really is: the exoteric face of the Hermetic philosophy. Once we realize that the human mind is the extension of the divine creative power, the rest follows, like a flood sweeping away the debris of religions and anti-religions alike. To paraphrase: Mind is the ultimate arbiter of reality. All self-expression is sacred. The only evil is to prevent other beings from reaching their highest potential. We are all gods in the making, but more than gods, being forged in the crucible of the world. Even those familiar with this line of thought will relish the parade of characters, charlatans, and sages that emerge from Uncertain Places.” * Joscelyn Godwin, author of The Greater and Lesser Worlds of Robert Fludd *“Who are we? What are we? Have we ever really been entirely human? Whether or not we have or have not, if we want to make any advancement in this respect, we will have to delve into certain quagmires such as the occult and the paranormal to discover ourselves. This work is dangerous, but Mitch Horowitz has the courage to undertake it. As a bonus, his writing is very amusing.” * Peter Lamborn Wilson, author of Peacock Angel *“Here is a learned yet accessible book about the shaping power of will and intention, about the reality of an extraphysical world (or worlds), about just how wrong and stupid the debunkers and conspiracy theorists have been, and about religious belief as dissociation—the still unknown mirror in which we will someday come to recognize ourselves. Here are the ‘uncertain places’ that many of us have not yet gone but will.” * Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of The Superhumanities: Historical Precedents, Moral Objections, New Reali *“To make the density of countless esoteric teachings and life-changing mind metaphysics accessible to nearly anyone is a gift Mitch Horowitz is currently in the practice of leaving us all with.” * Jesse Draxler, American visual artist and author of Misophonia *"A fast-paced collection of essays covering a wide range of controversial topics--among them: the creative agency of the mind, the dynamic interplay of inner and outer realities, paranormal research, causality of thought, the metaphysical dimension of the human experience, and alternative spirituality. This book serves as a compass to navigate the tricky maze of occulture's house of mirrors, with its seductive dead-ends, alluring distorted images, and misinformation galore. Horowitz's essays are erudite yet accessible, persuasive and pragmatic, full of striking observation casting a new light on how we see and interpret the world." * Ferdinando Buscema, BoingBoing.nt *Table of ContentsREINTRODUCTION POWER AND UNCERTAINTYPART IStrange Fire1 RECLAIMING THE DAMNED2 CHOOSE YOUR OWN REALITY 3 “MY WILL BE DONE”4 IS YOUR MIND A TECHNOLOGY FOR UTOPIA?PART II Magickal Operations 5 ANARCHIC MAGICK 6 GOD OF THE OUTSIDERS 7 “DOWN WITH THE BLUE BLOODS”8 SUFFERING AND THE LIMITS OF MAGICK 9 AGAINST TRADITION 10 YOU ARE YOUR MASK11 IS MAGICK NECESSARY?

Book SynopsisA fabulous collection of ghost hauntings in Suffolk, from the infamous Black Dog of Bungay to the headless Anne Boleyn stalking visitors at Blickling Hall. The serene, low-lying countryside of Suffolk, with its scattered farms, water-meadows and extensive coastline, seems an unlikely area to be associated with ghosts and demons. Yet, a motley array are said to haunt the region. The most famous is the Black Dog, a spectral hound, which in the year 1577 terrorised and killed parishioners in the churches of Bungay and Blythburgh, and continues to exert a strong presence today. Other strange phenomena include phantom coaches, rattling through the countryside at night, drawn by spectral horses and driven by a headless coachman, and the freshwater mermaids who lure young children to their deaths in pools and rivers. Tobias Gill the black drummer haunts the crossroads near Blythburgh where he was hanged for the murder of a servant girl, and Mrs. Short, the 'Queen of Hell', can still raise the hairs on your neck if you wander in the region of Boulge Hall near Woodbridge. Famous characters such as Anne Boleyn, Earl Hugh Bigod, and St. Edmund add an additional lustre to folk tales of the area, and strange happenings occur in many of the churchyards, Suffolk having more churches per acre than almost any other county. This fascinating account of local 'sightings' deals with all the traditional historical legends as well as modern day sightings, and investigates their relevance and significance for the modern age.

Book SynopsisThis astounding work brings professional investigative abilities and forensic artistry to the field of Bigfoot studies. This astounding work brings professional investigative abilities and forensic artistry to the field of Bigfoot studies. David Paulides, a former police investigator, has applied his skills to questioning Bigfoot witnesses. The results he has achieved in gaining access to witnesses and getting detailed information from them is both remarkable and intriguing. Furthermore, he commissioned a forensic police artist to meet with witnesses and sketch the creatures they saw. These drawings provide insights into the creature''s nature never before realized. The result of this team''s work is by far one of the most convincing accounts ever written on Bigfoot. The conclusion reached - that this creature, long revered by the Hoopa people, definitely inhabits the forested regions of Humboldt County in Northern California - is so convincing that those people who doubt Bigfoot''s ex

Book SynopsisRight now, there is an enormous infusion of higher dimensional energy--a “Galactic Super Wave”--that is dramatically raising the vibratory rate of our planet and everyone on it. As Bob Frissell explains, in order to catch this wave of ascension and survive and thrive during the coming Great Awakening, we must undergo a personal transformation to raise our vibration and align with the Higher Self within each of us. Frissell explores the forces working to advance our planetary ascent into higher consciousness--as well as those seeking to block it. Going back over 500,000 years of Earth history, he looks at the role of the ancient Builder Race from Venus and other ET races, such as the Greys and the Anshars, in our evolutionary development and rapid technological advancements. He exposes government cover-ups of alien encounters as well as the startling details of our Secret Space Program, the New World Order, and the Depopulation Agenda. He explains how the Precession of the Equinoxes is directly influencing Earth’s awakening and how the dance between the “forces of darkness” and the “forces of light” actually allows consciousness to evolve. Sharing exercises, tools, and techniques to transmute the energies blocking access to your Higher Self, Frissell explores how the infusion of higher dimensional energy is impacting planet Earth and each of us. He shows how reconnecting with your Higher Self enables you to harness the ability to create great abundance and recognize our intimate connection to all life and to the Infinite Creator. Unveiling the incoming new energetic configuration for the Earth, Frissell details how the Great Awakening is nothing less than the birth of a new humanity and how, by raising your vibration, you help in the co-creation of Heaven on Earth.Trade Review“A head-spinning journey through secret space programs, the Deep State, and the Vatican; the Depopulation Agenda, ETs, the New World Order, free energy, and solar flares; the Bible, ancient yogis, ascended masters, COVID-19, cryptocurrencies, and near-death experiences! And Frissell brings it all together in a celebration of the evolution of consciousness and a great awakening, grounding it all in his heart-centered approach to breathwork, called Breath Alchemy. Thanks for the ride, Bob!” * DAN BRULÉ, author of Just Breathe and founder of Breath Mastery *“Catching the Ascension Wave will not only catch your attention but will catapult you into your ascension! This book explodes with information that is mesmerizing—I couldn’t put it down!” * Dianne Robbins, author of Messages from the Hollow Earth *“Catching the Ascension Wave is just what the world needs right now at this critical juncture in our evolution. Bob’s style is friendly and accessible, even when explaining some rather deep concepts, which anyone (with an open mind) can easily assimilate. He has a mind for bringing multiple loose ends together, from all kinds of sources, to create a clear picture of our world that has been kept from our awareness. It gets especially good when he goes into his great work with Breath Alchemy, which he demonstrates as one of the key methods to upgrading our consciousness for the great transition Earth is now making into fourth-dimensional reality.” * Denis Ouellette, author of Heal Yourself with Breath, Light, Sound, and Water *“Finally, a book that connects all the dots and gives us answers! This is a groundbreaking must-read guide for the turbulent times we find ourselves in, teetering on the edge of mass awakening. Bob Frissell pulls back the veil and exposes the truths that have been obscured from the world and gives us a set of solutions for healing our own traumas and raising our vibrational frequency to match the new Earth that is emerging.” * Kris Ashley, author of Change Your Mind to Change Your Reality *“Bob Frissell has done a superb job of collecting information and showing the visible and invisible processes associated with the awakening of humanity and describing them in his exciting book. But most importantly, he gives unique meditations, tools, and techniques, including the Breath Alchemy Technique, which will allow people to harmoniously align with the raising of the consciousness of the planet so that humanity will again find inner peace, joyfulness, and unconditional love.” * Alexander Milovanov, author of The Music of the Divine Spheres *“A wonderful, exceptional book that is true to Bob’s previous well-researched messages. I love how he ties together so many unexplained phenomena that you may have wondered about. This is a book I will treasure! It may call you to re-read again and again. It is irresistible.” * Maureen J. St. Germain, author of Waking Up in 5D *“In this book, Frissell surpasses himself with another breathtaking expansion of our understanding and experience of reality—and adds to it a full explanation of his powerful Five-Step Harmonizing Method of Breath Alchemy. My personal experiences with Breath Alchemy have been truly amazing, on a physical and energetic level—the most healing experience I have ever had. This is a life-changing book!” * Kenneth Porter, M.D., author of Apollo’s Lyre: The Art of Spiritual Psychotherapy *“Bob Frissell knows how to duel with paradoxes, Potemkins, and aliases and come away with a single gem that attunes you to the next rung on the ladder— your own ladder. He is a living truth serum and hermetic lie detector. Catching the Ascension Wave is a delightful and wise maturation of his teaching and shows the payoff of getting on a path and staying on it, no matter what gets tossed your way.” * Richard Grossinger, author of Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms *“Bob is a remarkable author who cannot be compared with anyone else. Each book of his presents us with something mind-blowing or pleasantly shocking for our perception of reality. Catching the Ascension Wave is exciting. Even if you do not believe in higher-dimensional energy in the way that Bob describes, this book will benefit you, it will open your mind to new possibilities and give you tools to improve your inner state of being. I highly recommend not only his books but also his Breath Alchemy Technique.” * Gisselle Cuomo, clinical psychologist *“I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in psychological transformation and the evolution of humanity to a higher level of being—and even physical transcendence into one characterized by cosmic consciousness—that will bring about a new heaven and a new Earth for those who have prepared themselves for great changes.” * Robert D.

Book SynopsisBlue Light of the Screen is about what it means to be afraid - about immersion, superstition, delusion, and the things that keep us up at night. A creative-critical memoir of the author's obsession with the horror genre, Blue Light of the Screen embeds its criticism of horror within a larger personal story of growing up in a devoutly Catholic family, overcoming suicidal depression, uncovering intergenerational trauma, and encountering real and imagined ghosts.As Cronin writes, she positions herself as a protagonist who is haunted by what she watches and reads, like an antiquarian in an M.R. James ghost story whose sense of reality unravels through her study of arcane texts and cursed archives. In this way, Blue Light of the Screen tells the story of the author's conversion from skepticism to faith in the supernatural.Part memoir, part ghost story, and part critical theory, Blue Light of the Screen is not just a book about horror, but a work of horror itself.Trade Review"Part memoir, part philosophical rumination, Blue Light of the Screen is a love letter to the darkness inside and out...and the flicking light of the screens around which we cluster, seeking not warmth but truth." "Blue Light of the Screen is an original, compelling and genuinely unclassifiable book that is by turns insightful, moving and disturbing - as well as an informative introduction to cinematic horror." "A book written from deep within the horror genre, Cronin's Blue Light of the Screen annuls the distinction between confession and possession." "A poetic and highly personal account of the ghosts that chase us." "A striking memoir of a demon-haunted life. Cronin elegantly articulates the way horror (from the art house to the grind house) is often the most personal genre, leaving its viewers with powerful metaphors to decode the sometimes even more terrifying world on the other side of the screen." "A dreamlike, at times hallucinatory journey through memory and nightmare. Cronin's fragmentary approach takes a litany of horror movies as grist to explore deeper questions of uncanny belief. A strange and thoroughly enjoyable read."
