Atkins, Charles. Modern Buddhist Healing: A Spiritual Strategy for Transforming Pain, Dis-ease, and Death. The author describes how he used mantra-powered visualization to conquer cancer, and how readers can use this technique for their own healing. Atkins introduces us to the Buddhist master Nichiren Daishonin (1222-1282) and the healing teachings of the Lotus Sutra. He explains that the mantra Nam-myoho-renge-kyo can “undo” karma that has damaged our health. “Regardless of your religious or spiritual path, this book will shed light on the role of meditation, imagery, and prayer in the healing process”—Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words. 2002. 192 pp. • 5 3/8” x 8 1/4” • ISBN: 0-89254-062-1 • Paper, $18.95
Bane, Rosanne. Dancing in the Dragon’s Den: Rekindling the Creative Fire in Your Shadow. Uses Jungian explanations of the Shadow and its function, but readers don’t have to be familiar with Jungian psychology in order to benefit from this book! Bane is warm, friendly, and supportive as she outlines the process of recognizing what the shadow is and how it connects to our creativity. She shows us how we can use the insight of the shadow to rekindle the creative energy we already own. 1999. 320 pp. • ISBN 0-89254-047-8 • Paper, $19.95
Bhairavan, Amarananda. Kali’s Odiyya—A Shaman’s True Story of Initiation. Shambu (the name by which the author is known in his native land) was 9 and Sandhya was 10 when they were chosen to become servants of the Goddess Kali. Bhairavan writes of his experience of initiation into the world of Kali’s odiyyas: shamans of the goddess. We learn what it means to be a devotee, how Kali followers view sexuality and mores, the day-to-day lifestyle in a holy Indian village, and how the shamanic community takes care of the needs of the people. 2001. 320 pp. • ISBN 0-89254-048-6 • Paper, $19.95
Bolen, Jean Shinoda. Ring of Power: Symbols and Themes, Love vs. Power in Wagner’s Ring Cycle and in Us. The author’s vivid grasp of the story and the characters in The Ring of Niebelung brings Richard Wagner’s mythic four-opera cycle to life. The Ring Cycle has a hold on our imagination because it is archetypal: the power of myth and the music reverberates in the psyche. Bolen draws attention to the mid-life transformation of man as hero and patriarch, and to the role of the feminine as a catalyst in this process. 1999. • 264 pp. • ISBN 0-89254-043-5 • Paper, $18.95
Brewi, Janice & Anne Brennan. Mid-Life Spirituality and Jungian Archetypes. This book addresses people who are struggling to understand, identify, and grow through a new experience of themselves as they live into, and out of, what must be called the “second half of life.” Brewi and Brennan celebrate the mid-life experience as an essential element in the human journey and a gift to the flowering of the personality. 1999. 288 pp. • ISBN 0-89254-046-X • Paper, $18.95
Dallett, Janet O. The Not-Yet-Transformed God: Depth Psychology and the Individual Religious Experience. Discusses some of C. G. Jung’s most difficult and far-reaching ideas in a personal and conversational voice. Drawing on scientific observation and an understanding of the psyche, she weaves together examples from patients who have been confronted with what Jung calls “today’s religious task,” from dreams, and even includes her own experience with the dark side of the analytic process—being duped by an analyst. 1998. 160 pp. • ISBN 0-89254-042-7 • Paper, $16.95
de Jong, H. M. E. Michael Maier’s Atalanta Fugiens: Sources of an Alchemical Book of Emblems. With reproductions of several hard-to-find foldouts of alchemical engravings, this book is a collector’s edition of a classic alchemical study. First published in 1617, Atalanta Fugiens is Michael Maier’s finest work. Each of the 50 emblems of Atalanta Fugiens consists of a motto, a print, and an epigram. De Jong’s translation and commentary on the mottos and epigrams reveals the meaning and importance of the Atalanta Fugiens, the sources Maier used, and the mutual relationships between the emblems. She also includes an additional 30 alchemical engravings that explain her research. Illustrated, with foldouts. 2002. 480 pp. • 6” x 9” • ISBN 0-89254-060-5 • Hardcover, $80.00
Dennis, Sandra Lee. Embrace of the Daimon: Sensuality and the Integration of Forbidden Imagery in Depth Psychology. Foreword by Thomas Moore. The imaginal is the realm of the archetypes, the land of the daimons, the source of creativity, the soul. The daimons facilitate the incarnation of soul into the physical body and transform those dark taboo energies that we avoid, so we can progress as spiritual beings. When we devalue erotic, feminine, and instinctual energies, we block ourselves from embracing the mysteries of death, birth, and sexual union. Dennis explains how we do this, and how we can learn to work with the daimonic energy. 2001. 304 pp. • 5-3/8” x 8-1/4” • ISBN: 0-89254-056-7 • Paper, $21.95
Dyer, Donald. Jung’s Thoughts on God: The Religious Depths of the Psyche. For students who want to know how C. G. Jung viewed God will get a great overview of this material. Jung does not argue the existence of God, but examines the God-image in our religious texts, and how it helps people recognize the spiritual journey to wholeness. An important resource, with hundreds of references to help readers explore Jung’s work in regard to the existence and essence of God. 2000. • 128 pp. • ISBN 0-89254-049-4 • Paper, $18.95
