Alan Oken's Complete Astrology by Alan Oken gives an in-depth look at astrology for readers searching for the larger picture. Comparing the sun signs of cities and countries, for instance, enables us to see why some places can be said to work for us while others seem to work against us. Discover which cities are best suited for your career, love and home life.

New Moon Astrology by Jan Spiller is a clear, practical handbook on how to make your dreams come true by using the transformative astrology of moon cycles.

Secrets From A Stargazer’s Notebooks by Debbi Kempton-Smith is easily the most enjoyable book on personal astrology I've read. This woman's fantastic sense of humour kept me turning the pages as I'd if picked up a hot thriller. You'll be amazed by what you didn't know about yourself and your friends.

Sacred Contracts by Caroline Myss may seem out of place here, but it's a tribute to Myss that her exploration of the awakening of the divine potential in all of us straddles health, inner wisdom and astrology. This is really a synthesis of all of these subjects based on the house system of everyday astrology.

Edgar Cayce on Dreams by Harmon H. Bro is, despite its occasionally murky writing, the best dream book there is. It should be. It's from a master. Find out how to harness your dream power.

Energy Anatomy by Caroline Myss shows clearly that her brilliance consists of synthesizing old wisdom and making it new again. While she isn't the first to suggest the co-relation between divergent religions (she neatly parallels the seven Christian Sacraments, the Jewish Kabbalah and Indian Chakras), she is the first to make it approachable in a powerful and meaningful way. Discover the relationship between energy and your health. This book (or the CDs, as I much prefer her narrative voice to her writing) is the best example of her work so far.  

The Edgar Cayce Handbook For Health by Harold J. Reilly and Ruth Hagy Brod is the essential Cayce primer on health and health-related issues such as diet, exercise, attitude, etc. Indespensible reading from the Association for Research and Enlightenment.

Edgar Cayce Encyclopedia of Healing by Reba Ann Karp is my favourite, and a book I wouldn't be without. It gives guidelines on a wide variety of ailments, coupling these with Cayce's recommended treatments culled from thousands of readings.

Heal Your Body by Louise L Hay provides an intelligent, thoughtful look at self-healing through self-understanding. Learn the emotional causes of physical illness and the proper responses to treat them.

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is a book I've never finished and hope I never do. It's an ever-replenishing fount of wisdom. I don't read it straight-forwardly, but dip into it when I need affirmation. I always find the answer right where my finger directs me. It's the Zen way to do things.

The Seven Mansions of Colour by Alex Jones is sadly out-of-print, yet this explanation of colour-based meditation is one of the best and clearest I've found. See if you can find a second-hand copy.

How To Heal With Color by Ted Andrews is another great guide to colour meditation. Easily understood and accomplished meditation guidelines for the beginner, but not limited to beginners.

The Edgar Cayce Books by various authors – the first one that captured my lifelong attention (I picked it up when I was just 12) was Edgar Cayce The Sleeping Prophet by Jess Stearn. Cayce was the greatest psychic of the 20th century, and a well-spring of knowledge for every important psychic working today, whether they acknowledge him or not. (And I’m always surprised at the ones who don’t). His output was prodigious. Pick any “New Age” subject and look up Cayce’s references to it – chances are you’ll find an entire book on it, whether it’s dream interpretation, reincarnation, Atlantis, healing, harnessing your psychic powers, astrology, religion, Jesus Christ or the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune is still controversial years after its publication. As much as I admire this book, I'm loathe to list it due to a negative outlook on same-gender sex. (Edgar Cayce and all psychics worth their salt maintain a positive position on the subject.) Still, Fortune's is the best book on the Qabalah I've encountered. Her beliefs were partially a product of her times (a Victorian, she lived through the Oscar Wilde trials), as well as a prescient but not entirely comprehended knowledge of the ravages that AIDS would wreak in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Read with an open mind.

An Introduction to the Mystical Qabalah by Alan Richardson seems more a primer on ritual magic, yet this is nonetheless an excellent introduction to the wisdom of the magical Tree of Life. Easy to read, rationalistic in outlook, and practical in application, the exercises in chapters 4 and 5 are particularly potent.

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus by John Gray contains some straightforward thinking from a popular author on what can go right and drastically wrong in any relationship.

How Much Did You Love? What Did You Learn? by Alex Jones is another one of those books I don't read from cover-to-cover, but simply pick up every now and then for a quick thought boost. Vitamins for the soul.

Love Without Conditions by Paul Ferrini is an in-depth but easy-to-read look at how we think and feel in our relations with others as well as with ourselves.

Psychic Warrior by Alan Moorehouse offers a chilling account of a CIA-trained spy, his psychic explorations and eventual defection from the organization that tried to kill him.

Mind Trek by Joseph McMoneagle is one of the first and best accounts of Remote Viewing. McMoneagle tells his story beginning with the Near Death Experience that opened him to the greater possibilities of his life.

Beyond Remote Viewing by Jeffrey Round is my How-To account of this phenomenon. When I first heard of Remote Viewing in the mid-90s, I thought, 'That's what I do!' As I read the literature on the subject, I realized that none of the books tells you how to do it. (And some of the courses cost $2000 or more.) I've since taught numerous classes on the subject with great success on the part of everyone who has persevered and completed the course. Anyone can do it with patience and willpower. Here's my downloadable, six-part series on how to become a Remote Viewer and much more.

A Complete Guide to the Tarot by Eden Gray is the first book I read on the subject as an adolescent. I couldn't find real Tarot cards, so I stripped an old deck and made my own. A fine introduction to a monumental subject. 

The Grand Etteilla by Jeffrey Round offers concise meanings for one of the best Tarot decks there is. Encyclopedic in scope, this deck utilizes symbols, words, colours and numbers all at once. (The deck is available on the Internet if you can't find it elsewhere: http://www.trigono.com/tarots/TA03TAGE.htm.) It comes with a booklet giving the supposed meaning of the cards, but it's highly inaccurate. Here's my explication of the hidden meanings of the Grand Etteilla cards, based on nearly two decades of usage.

A Cage of Bones by Jeffrey Round. Dion Fortune was both a novelist and a writer on esoterics. And so am I. Here's my explication of the 12th Arcanum of the Tarot, Sacrifice. Don't worry, it's still a readable story and you might not recognize it as anything more than that if you weren't aware of it. Autographed copies available.

El Tarot by Mouni Sadhu is a grumpy old book by a true Master. It tries to distill an entire philosophy of living into 360 pages. And it succeeds! Sometimes hard to find, this is the bible of esotericists and a must-read for any informed psychic work. Originally published as "The Tarot" ISBN:0-87980-157-3
