Summary

'Roots of Haircare' presents a fascinating journey through the evolution of hair care practices across civilizations, revealing how ancient wisdom continues to influence modern beauty routines. From Egyptian priests recording beauty rituals on papyrus scrolls to Traditional Chinese Medicine's herbal remedies, this comprehensive exploration demonstrates the enduring relevance of historical hair care methods in contemporary treatments.

 
The book masterfully weaves together archaeological evidence, historical manuscripts, and modern scientific research across three distinct sections. Beginning with ancient civilizations' approaches to hair care, including the use of henna in Egypt and olive oil in Greece, it progresses through the Industrial Revolution's transformative impact on beauty practices. The final section bridges historical wisdom with modern science, validating many traditional ingredients through contemporary research and providing practical applications for readers.

 
What sets this work apart is its multidisciplinary approach, combining insights from chemistry, botany, and anthropology to create a thorough understanding of hair care evolution. While maintaining academic rigor, the book remains accessible to general readers, offering practical insights for developing personal hair care routines based on time-tested methods. It thoughtfully addresses current debates about natural versus synthetic ingredients while providing context for sustainable beauty practices, making it valuable for both professionals in the beauty industry and enthusiasts of natural hair care.

    Zodiakos: The Circle of Holy Animals is a mystical exploration of the twelve signs of the zodiac as they were originally conceived—sacred emblems in the celestial scripture of the ancient world. This richly symbolic work reinterprets Aries through Pisces as spiritual archetypes, each one a phase in the soul’s journey around the eternal wheel of life, death, and rebirth. 
Drawing on the esoteric traditions of Egypt, Greece, Chaldea, and the mystery schools of antiquity, Zodiakos reveals how the constellations were not merely tools of astrology, but sacred signatures of cosmic intelligence, encoded with the wisdom of the ages. Whether lion or lamb, goat or twins, each sign becomes a gateway to initiation and an invitation to inner alchemy. 
Perfect for seekers, stargazers, and students of Hermeticism, Zodiakos unites myth, magic, and metaphysics in a visionary guide to the twelvefold path of cosmic understanding.

    The underground rock wall in Rockwall, Texas has fascinated me for years.  
I’ve read everything I could online about it. Recently I moved from Los Angeles to Denton, Texas which is only about an hour drive from Rockwall. So I went there and spent an hour with the Rockwall County Museum Curator and learned a lot more about the structure. 
Was also able to examine and take pictures of the wall section moved from the actual wall and reconstructed outside the museum. 
In this book I’ve related the history of the wall’s discovery, excavations, interesting items and structures found on or near the wall, and information about possible giants who might have built it. 
There are a lot of unanswered questions about this structure which still need to be learned. Those questions are listed near the end of this book.

    In The 1930s, Irish schoolchildren were tasked with asking their oldest relatives and neighbours about stories and superstitions from times past so that ordinary people's lives could be preserved and celebrated. What those schoolchildren wrote in their copybooks resulted in the National Folklore Archive's Schools' Collection, and this book contains a selection of its best stories. With chapters on ghost stories, agriculture, forgotten trades, schooling and pastimes, this is a people's history of Ireland.
There are incredible stories of self-sufficiency from an era when everything on the table was homemade. Discover how people survived on flour, milk and potatoes, and how fabric, dye, soap and candles were made by hand. There are delightful memories of childhoods spent outdoors, gathering nuts and berries, playing Tig and fishing; while stories of folk remedies reveal how wellbeing in Ireland had long been a heady potion of miraculous medals, doctors, healers, holy wells and pilgrimages.
With each chapter introduced and contextualised in John Creedon's inimitable voice, this beautiful treasury of tales is a stunning tribute to ordinary Irish people and how they lived long ago.
