"Your Auras & Your Chakras: The Owner's Manual" by Karla McLaren
$ 20.50 ISBN: 1578630479
This book is not the in depth look at chakra like "Wheels of Life", however it dows a great overvuew and ties everything neatly into aura work. The author walks you through grounding techniques and troubleshooting the care of both your aura and your chakras. On the real plus, she addresses secondary chakras which most books never look at.
"Tell My Horse: Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica" by Zora N. Hurston
$16.50 ISBN: 0060916494
A rare find! For those interesting in Black History and Anthropology, this is an amazing book. It is divided into three parts. The first part looks at culture and practice in Jamaica. The second section explores politics and history of Haiti. And the last part delves into Haitian voodoo. Like I said, it is a rare find... a rare look into a world often shrouded in mystery.
"When Women Were Priests" by Karen Torjesen
$16.50 ISBN: 9780060686611
This is a fasinating look at the history (rise, activities and fall) of women in leadership roles within the Christian movement. From ritual leaders, to household managers, to women's virtues, then to the shames and sins of the body and sexuality... this is a thorough look into women's lives.
"Sacred Pleasure: Sex, Myth, and the Politics of the Body" by Riane Eisler
$26.95 ISBN: 0062502832
This 405 page text that looks at all aspects of sex and the body through ritual and politics. How did we come to the beliefs and taboos that we have today? What are some of the current issues and how are we handling them? These and many more questions are considered. This book also has an extensive reference list to assist the advanced researcher.
"The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries" by Z Budapest
$23.95 ISBN: 157863413x
If you are into feminist spirituality or a fan of Z Budapest, you likely have already heard or own a book by this title. That would be her first book by that title. This is a much more expanded and revised version. In here is also a facinating inside look at Hungarian Witchcraft right from her own family heritage.
"Sacred Circles: A Guide To Creating Yuor Own Women's Spirituality Group"
by Robin Deen & Sall Craig
$22.95 ISBN: 9780062515223
This is one of the best books I had ever read on group practice. It explores the concept of spirituality and expecially women's spirituality. Then it talks about different types of groups and circles that can be formed for study, discussion, counselling, and practice. The best parts follow with how to form a group, and skills and tools to use within such an intimate wsetting for women. It ends with techniques to help keep such a group healthy and active together (common problems, conflict resolution, group self assassment). A must have for anyone doing any kind of group work, even if it is not specifically women-oriented. I have found it invaluable for the ideas and skills in my own mixed gender group.
"Our Gods Wear Spandex: The Secret History of Comic Book Heroes" by Christopher Knowles
$23.95 ISBN: 1578634067
This book looks at the evolution of the god and hero through classic myth through to our modern day heroes from film to comic books. It explores ancient heroes and gods, secret sects, Victorian occult movements, occult key figures (Blavatsy, Golden Dawn, Neitzsche, Crowley) literary authors (Edgar Allen Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, HG Wells, and Bram Stoker) and the modern views of the comic world. Are the modern gods and heroes those that wear spandex?

Solar Plexus Chakra
There is a great series of workshops in progress for the chakras. Every 2 weeks, will be an information session on a chakra. Those who are following the entire series will spend the days in between working on that chakra. A couple weeks ago the class for the Solar Plexus Chakra was given with an excellent group of 5 participants. Here is some information about the Solar Plexus Chakra:
SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA
The solar plexus chakra is located in the upper abdoment between the navel and the base of the sternum. It is sometimes called the stomach chakra as it involves the digestive organs and the diaphram. Other organs associated with this chakra are the liver, pancreas, and the middle back.
This is the chakra of FIRE and of ACTION. Its colors are shades of yellow. The gemstones for this chakra are citrine, tiger's eye, yellow topaz, amber, brass, and gold. The herbs and oils for this chakra are clove, cinnamon, ginger, hot pepper, horse radish, cardamom, saffron, curry.
If you wish to ingest substances to help connect with this chakra, eat foods that are spicy. For those who like teas, we recommend an chai or a lemon/ginger tea.
This chakra is associated with active or doing energy, power, self-control, courage, self-awareness, self-knowledge, will, personal strength, and the ego. You know you have problems or blocks with your navel chakra if you have sexual digestive problems or nausea with anxiety. This chakra is also associated with anger and anger management. SHAME blocks this chakra. Work through the things you feel ashame of or dissappointed about to clear out and open this chakra. Stop self-denial and be more accepting of yourself. You will feel balanced and more able to do what you want to do.
Some things you can do to meditate and connect with this chakra are to do exercises to work out the stomach muscles (like crunches), breathing from the diaphram, deep yelling (find a field or some place no one will care about and yell AAAAAAAAA in adeep tone from the diaphram as loudly and for as long as you can).
This chakra is also about the RIGHT TO ACT. You have the right to do what you feel like doing. This is a chakra where you are working on your own personal power and trying not to hand that power to someone else. This is the chakra of CHOICE. You do not HAVE TO DO anything, you CHOOSE TO DO what you do.
As an exercise, try not using the words SHOULD HAVE, COULD HAVE, WOULD HAVE, HAVE TO, and OUGHT TO. Instead use CHOOSE TO. When something is your choice, you maintain control over your own power.

Navel Chakra
There is a great series of workshops in progress for the chakras. Every 2 weeks, will be in information session on a chakra. Those who are following the entire series will spend the days in between working on that chakra. A couple weeks ago the class for the Navel Chakra was given with an excellent group of 6 participants. Here is some information about the Navel Chakra:
NAVEL CHAKRA
The navel chakra is located in the lower abdoment below the actual navel. It is sometimes called the sex chakra as it involves the sexual organs (gonads and genitalia). Other organs associated with this chakra are the womb, kidneys, bladder, and the lower back.
This is the chakra of WATER and of FEELINGS. Its colors are shades of orange. The gemstones for this chakra are coral, carlenian, and moonstone. The herbs and oils for this chakra are orris, clove, vanilla, jasmine, ylang ylang, sandalwood, copal, coconut, orange, bergamot, neroli, and damiana.
If you wish to ingest substances to help connect with this chakra, eat foods that are pleasurable or high on the citrus or liquid side. These include water (of course) orange juice, coconut milk, sliced oranges, aloe juice, fruits and salads. For those who like teas, we recommend an orange-rooibos blend or prehaps a lichee-jasmine tea.
This chakra is associated with female sexual energy, pleasure, sexual passion, emotiona, change, creativity, confidence, reproduction, fertility, desire, gratification, and emotional identity. You know you have problems or blocks with your navel chakra if you have sexual problems or urinary problems. GUILT blocks this chakra. Work through the things you feel guilty for or of to clear out and open this chakra. Forgive yourself and then let go. You will feel balanced and more able to "go with the flow".
Some things you can do to meditate and connect with this chakra are to do exercises to work out the lower back and lower abdomen, pelvis rocking, massaging the lower back and buttocks... having sex.
This chakra is also about the RIGHT TO FEEL. You have the right to feel, no emotions are wrong. You have the right to feel pleasure. Pleasure invites us to expand while pain generally makes us contract. Nurture yourself, care for your needs, love your body, feed your soul.
Perhaps make a list: What brings you pleasure?
Try doing one thing a day that simply pleases you.
