The Tao of Physics
An updated 50th anniversary edition of the bestselling classic on the extraordinary relationship between modern physics and Eastern philosophy. Fritjof Capra brought the mystical implications of subatomic physics to popular consciousness for the very first time back in 1975. Many books have been written in the ensuing years about the connections between quantum theory and the ideas of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism, but The Tao of Physics serves as the foundation on which the others have been built, and its wisdom has stood the test of time. Its publication in over twenty languages stands as testimony to its universal applicability and enduring significance. This special edition celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the perennial classic and includes new material by the author--a preface, an updated afterword, and a postscript--reflecting on further discoveries and developments in the years since the book's initial publication.
LGBTQ+ Companion to Symbol, Mythology, Folklore and Spirituality
LGBTQ+ Companion to Symbol, Mythology, Folklore, and Spirituality is a revised, expanded edition of Encyclopedia of Queer Myth, Symbol, and Spirit (Cassell, 1997). The volume remains an unprecedented reference source on the theme of same sex desire, gender variance and the sacred with a multicultural, transhistorical focus. In anthropology this grouping of various related topics into a central theme is sometimes referred to as a "domain." The Companion, useful for general readers and essential for scholars, is highly informative, entertaining and empowering. The result of more than 30 years of research, the Companion is a collection of LGBTQ+ related deities, spiritual/symbolic figures, mythological stories and folklore (ancient and modern), symbols (e.g. sacred animals, flowers, colors, designs, or motifs), language/terms/slang (e.g. Polari, a linguistic code, or "cant" employed primarily by marginal persons since the Middle Ages), and literature and the arts (authors, artists, texts, and artifacts). This variety is extensively researched and presented from a broad range of historic evidence and perspectives in written records, from personal interviews, oral histories, the treasured folklore of our communities, ranging from the Ancient Mediterranean, Africa and Asia, to Europe and the Americas. Entries and longer articles often include the analysis of, and approaches from various LGBTQ+ and LGBTQ+-positive scholars of linguistics, religion, anthropology, philosophy, sociology, politics and popular culture. Negative and homophobic critiques and analysis, especially from the mid-19th-early 20th centuries, of spiritual leaders and academics, are also examined.

Echoes of the Divine
Echoes of the Divine: The Orix獺s of Umbanda and Their Living Mysteries is a powerful and poetic exploration of one of Brazil's most vibrant spiritual traditions. Rooted in African ancestry, Indigenous reverence, and Spiritist thought, Umbanda is a living religion that honours the orix獺s as radiant forces of nature - guides, guardians, and divine companions in our everyday lives. Far from being a variation of Santer穩a or Candombl矇, Umbanda is its own world. With its own currents, its own cosmology, and its own language of light and shadow, it offers a living connection to the sacred that is both intimate and expansive. With clarity, depth, and devotion, this book explores the myths, energies, and daily presence of the orix獺s, from Oxal獺's serenity to Ians瓊's winds, from the sweetness of Oxum to the fierce justice of Xang繫. Weaving personal reflection with cultural insight, Echoes of the Divine is a love letter to the spirits of Brazil, and a call to recognise that the divine does not live only in temples or texts, but in rhythm, in service, and in the whisper of the orix獺s walking beside us. This is a deeply practical and profoundly reverent guide for those who feel the call. Whether you're new to Umbanda or walking the path already, this book invites you into the heart of a tradition that does not ask for perfection, only presence.

The Devil and the Rose
The Devil and the Rose is a bold, poetic journey into the forgotten heart of witchcraft, where fire and blood, pact and perfume, spirit and soil meet in fierce communion. Bridging the shadowed forests of European folk magic and the graveyard-lit paths of Quimbanda in modern Brazil, this book follows the witch's crooked way through exile, ecstasy, and emergence. Here, the Devil is not the enemy, but the initiator, the guide, the spark at the heart of the rose. The spirits who rise from the crossroads and the cemetery are not metaphors, but living allies who dance, drink, teach, test, and transform. With thirteen thorns and one flame, this book honours the power of the pact, the benediction of the adversary, and the living sorcery of those who dare to walk the road less taken. A work of both scholarship and sorcery, The Devil and the Rose is a grimoire, a prayer, and a love letter to the spirits of the margins. For witches, devotees, and all who have felt the call of the flame in the night.

Knowing the Way (Third Edition)
"A powerful spiritual roadmap rooted in truth, tradition, and timeless hope." Relativism, secularism, sectarianism, wokeness, political correctness, increased hostility towards Christian values and the Church, desertion by the flock-does anyone else feel like we have become strangers in a strange land? Our world has gone bonkers! Today, we live in a society that has largely forgotten God, and being separated from him, the results are evident: Increasing restlessness, selfishness, depression, despair, hopelessness, and nihilism. This is not the life God desires for us. If we find ourselves lost or separated from the Source of Life, we need to find our way back. But how? Jesus told us: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). It's time to reexamine how to attain the abundant life that Jesus promised us: Happiness and fulfillment in this life and the life to come. We do not need to overthink it-childlike simplicity (Cf. Mark 10:15). We just need to return to the principles of our faith-the right faith being a living relationship with the ever-living God. "Oh, Christian who has gotten drunk on love of the world! Sober up, while there is still time, and look for the heavenly blessings that God promised to those who love him, lest you seek them later, but do not receive them." (St. Tikhon of Zadonsk)
