        The Believer

        Encounters with Love, Death & Faith

        by Sarah Krasnostein

        This extraordinary new book by the bestselling and multi-award-winning author Sarah Krasnostein explores the power of belief.   What do we believe? Who do we believe? Why do we believe them?   Sarah Krasnostein has been spending time with interview subjects around the world. Some of them believe in things most people don’t. Ghosts. UFOs. The literal creation of the universe in six days by an all-powerful God.   Some of them believe in things most people would like to. Living with integrity and compassion. Dying with dignity and autonomy. Facing up to our transgressions with a truthful heart.   In this intensely personal and gorgeously written new book Krasnostein, the acclaimed author of The Trauma Cleaner, talks to these believers with compassion and empathy—and finds out what happens when their beliefs crash into her own.

        Die Magie der verbotenen Märchen / The Magic of the Forbidden Fairy Tales

        by Sergius Golowin

        What do folk tales teach us today? Fairy godmothers, bitches, gnomes, dwarfs and many others are thoroughly described in this book. In his ethnic study Sergius Golowin explores the figures of the folk tales as symbols of our unconsciousness. Golowin decodes the symbolic language of fairy tales and enlightens the secret science of Celtic priests and the magic knowledge of Nordic warlocks. Golowin shows that mandrake, toadstool and monkshood were well known in past times. Those who knew their secrets had superhuman power and wisdom. The possibility to see new realities is shown as one of the oldest, but always banned knowledge.

        Pilgrimage to Iona

        Discovering the Ancient Secrets of the Sacred Isle

        by Claire Nahmad

        The little island of Iona has a rich tradition of spiritual and historical mystery. Legends abound of Jesus and Mary Magdalene alighting and living here for a period prior to the Crucifixion, as well as the suggestion that Jesus visited the island with his mother under the escort of Joseph of Arimathea. The stories of angel sightings on Iona are legion, with claims that the island was once an exalted temple of natural beauty and wilderness, where only angels’ feet trod and no earthliness was allowed to encroach on its sanctity. The theme of the book, as well as the celebration of sacred Iona as a place of pilgrimage, is the unveiling of the the secret of Rosslyn Chapel, the unique and extraordinary, unfinished little building just beyond Edinburgh that was made famous by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. Iona and Rosslyn are united by ancient history, and particularly by the Culdees, the monks of Iona who settled there under St Columba late in the sixth century, and who eventually gave rise to the Templars, whose secret legacy is said to be the mystery of Rosslyn Chapel. The significance of Iona, and the veneration it inspires in its pilgrims, both reaches back into the depths of history and points towards a spiritual future.
