Arguably the oldest form of health care, Ayurveda is often referred to as the “Mother of All Healing.” Although there has been considerable scientific research done in this area during the last 50 years, the results of that research have not been adequately disseminated. Meeting the need for an authoritative, evidence-based reference, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies is the first book to analyze and synthesize current research supporting Ayurvedic medicine.

This book reviews the latest scientific information, evaluates the research data, and presents it in an easy to use format. The editor has carefully selected topics based on the availability of scientific studies and the prevalence of a disease. With contributions from experts in their respective fields, topics include Ayurvedic disease management, panchkarma, Ayurvedic bhasmas, the current status of Ayurveda in India, clinical research design, and evaluation of typical clinical trials of certain diseases, to name just a few.

In this pioneering study West documents that: Hieroglyphs carry hermetic messages that convey the subtler realities of the Sacred Science of the Pharaohs. Egyptian science, medicine, mathematics, and astronomy were more sophisticated than most modern Egyptologists acknowledge. Egyptian knowledge of the universe was a legacy from a highly sophisticated civilization that flourished thousands of years ago.

We are caught up in emotions like lust (kama), anger (krodha), greed (lobha), infatuation (moha), pride (ynadha) and malice (matsarya). Hatha yoga helps us to overcome these obstacles and hindrances to spiritual development. It is a biochemical, psycho-physiological and psycho-spiritual science which deals with the moral, mental, intellectual and spiritual aspects of man, as well as the physical and physiological. We can clarify our understanding of hatha yoga by first examining five important underlying concepts: mind, knowledge, aims of life, health and afflictions.

The five elements describe five essential qualities of chi (life force energy),which you can use to enhance, control, or balance a space, depending on your needs: metal, water, wood, fire and earth. This short book explains in more detail about each element, placement of items relating to its energy and how it can help you.

[D]id Wicca exist as a coherent creed, a distinct form of spiritual expression, prior to the 1940s; that is, prior to the meeting of minds between the old magus and venerable prophet of the occult world Aleister Crowley, and the first popularizer, if not outright inventor of modern Wicca, Gerald Brosseau Gardner?

Volume 2: Higgins’s magnum opus, Anacalypsis, An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil of the Saitic Isis; or, an Inquiry into the Origin of Languages, Nations, and Religions is a monumental work, and has been described as the first large-scale attempt at a synthesis of religion and science. Anacalypsis is a review of the history of religions; however, due to his death Higgins was unable to complete the final chapter on Christianity.

Among the many unusual theories presented in this book is that both the Celtic Druids and the Jews originated in India \u2013 and that the name of the Biblical Abraham is really a variation of the word Brahma, created by shifting the last letter to the beginning: Abrahma. Higgens used the term, “Pandeism” to describe the religious society that he purported had existed from ancient times, and at one time had been known throughout the entire world.

This book is very rare. It gives you all the information you need to know about ANCIENT AND FORBIDDEN SECRETS: From Abraham to Zedekias, it consists of 199 pages of occult and religious information. It has an alphabetical listing of terms, organizations, people and more.

Whoever reads this book expecting to find an informative essay on “sugar-coated” commercial esotericism will be greatly disappointed. The Stellar Man is about a science more elevated than any now known, and what it can do for mankind. The occult anatomy of the cosmos is the mechanics of Nature, whose forces reciprocally feed from and nourish man, influencing everything in his life. Knowledge, and the use of these forces, is what permits the genuine Hermeticist to act with his mind in different vital situations in order to ensure the achievement of his goals. True magic bears no resemblance whatsoever to su-perstition and witchcraft. The true magus, is a KING of his internal world which by analogy can influence the external world. “As it is above, so it is below.” “As it is within, so it is without.”

This book is about divination by earth: it is a book of the art of geomancy. The techniques of geomancy are many and varied. Divinatory geomancy has its roots in Arabic sand divination, which appears also in various guises as African divination systems on the West Coast (ifa and fa) and Madagascar (sikidy). The first chapter considers their history in outline, while the subsequent chapters consider the varying techniques of interpretation in each area in detail.
