This book is of interest to anarchists, activists, and philosophers.

<DIV><DIV><B>An occult classic and a Dion Fortune bestseller of strongly growing interest.</B><br/><br/> Fortune was one of the first to bring this &ldquo;secret tradition" to a wider audience with her clear and comprehensive exploration of the Qabalah tradition. <B><I>The Mystical Qabalah</I></B> remains a classic in its clarity, linking the broad elements of Jewish traditional thought&mdash;probably going back to the Babylonian captivity and beyond&mdash;with both Eastern and Western philosophy and later Christian insights.<br/><br/> The Qabalah could be described as a confidential Judaic explanation of the paradox of &ldquo;the Many and the One"&mdash;the complexity and diversity within a monotheistic unity. Whereas the Old Testament outlines the social and psychological development of a tightly knit &ldquo;chosen group" culture, the supplementary Qabalah provides a detailed plan of the infrastructure behind the creative evolutionary process.<br/><br/><B><I>The Mystical Qabalah</I></B> devotes a chapter to each of the ten schematic &ldquo;God-names," the qualities or Sephiroth which focus on the principal archetypes behind evolving human activity: the Spiritual Source; the principles of Force and Form; Love and Justice; the Integrative principle or the Christ Force; Aesthetics and Logic; the dynamics of the Psyche; and, finally, the Manifestation of life on Earth in a physical body.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV><DIV><B><I>C.S. Lewis For Beginners</I> is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University.</B><br/><br/> A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die.<br/><br/> What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as <I>Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain,</I> and <I>Miracles,</I> he wrote eleven novels: the seven <I>Chronicles of Narnia,</I> a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, <I>The Screwtape Letters</I> and <I>The Great Divorce,</I> that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell.<br/><br/> And that&rsquo;s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today.<B><I> C.S. Lewis For Beginners</I></B> takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.</DIV></DIV>
