Just click on the 'Buy Now' tab. 


Here's a blurb:


We are living in a complicated period in relation to our understanding of 'extraordinary' phenomena. Naive materialist approaches are more assertive than ever, in anthropology and in the world more generally. At the same time, the taboos against admitting to the reality of the paranormal are weakening. There is a growing body of writing which takes the paranormal and extraordinary seriously, while bringing to it the same academic standards that any other subject matter would require. This is a valuable and important development, and it helps open the way to new modes of understanding in the sciences and social sciences that will not reject scientific rationality, but expand that rationality so as to include more of the world of human experience. The articles in this Paranthropology reader provide important clues and suggestions, along with rigorous argument, to help us in exploring what is likely to be a major area of anthropological engagement in coming years. Dr. Geoffrey Samuel, Cardiff University.


I hope you enjoy it.

Charlie: Trance Communication & Spirit Teachings...

Coming Soon...
A collection of transcribed seance recordings from the Bristol Spirit Lodge. The book is specifically concerned with communications and teachings received via trance mediumship from a spirit affectionately referred to as Charlie. The transcriptions are written out in full as a means to demonstrate the informal nature of the seances conducted at the Lodge and to provide an insight into the type of topics generally discussed with spirit communicators revealing a fascinating perspective on philosophy, life, death and the afterlife.

The book is set to be published and made available within the coming months.
