    Seamus Cashman comes from the village of Conna in County Cork. Educated att the local primary school, where his father was 'The Master', and at St. Colman's College, Fermoy, he also studied for the priesthood at Maynooth College but left after three years. 
    Having obtained a higher diploma in edication at University College, Cork, he spent two 'glorious' years in the mountains of southern Tanzania learning and teaching. He subsequently taught at St. Colman's, Fermoy before joining the newly established academic publishing house, Irish University Press in Dublin. When it closed seven years later, there was a period of unemployment before he set ip his own publishing house, Wolfhound Press. He lives in Portmarnock, County Dublin where he is married with three children. 
    The poems in this collection are new and old, and in essence are "attempts to delve into those personal and race memories that from time to time disturb our complacency, or that reflect some of the pleasure there is in remembering one's moments of wisdom amidst the decades of foolishness."

  • The Kybalion - The Forbidden Knowledge of the Hermetic Philosophy and the 7 Universal Laws: Understanding the Art of Hermetic Alchemy - Annotated and Illustrated - cover

    The Kybalion - The Forbidden...

    Initiates Three, William Walker...

    “The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental.” With this bold statement, The Kybalion, attributed to the mysterious Three Initiates, invites readers into a world where ancient wisdom meets universal truth. First published in 1908, the book distills the essence of Hermetic philosophy, a tradition linked to Hermes Trismegistus, the legendary figure seen as a bridge between human consciousness and divine knowledge. 
    At its core, The Kybalion presents the Seven Hermetic Principles: Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. These principles are described as the laws governing both the visible and invisible realms. By understanding them, seekers can align with cosmic patterns, deepen self-mastery, and unlock hidden dimensions of existence. 
    This edition expands upon the original text with valuable insights: commentary and reflections, historical context, advanced Hermetic practices such as Alchemy, Astrology, and Theurgy, comparative analysis with other spiritual traditions, and a Hermetic Q&A for further clarity. 
    Emerging during a wave of fascination with mysticism in the early 20th century, The Kybalion quickly became a cornerstone of Western esotericism. The anonymity of its authors only adds to its allure, leaving readers to wonder at their identities and sources. More than a book, The Kybalion remains a guide to uncovering not only the mysteries of the universe but also the depths of one’s own mind.

    Violence and the Sacred is René Girard's landmark study of human evil. Here Girard explores violence as it is represented and occurs throughout history, literature, and myth. Girard's forceful and thought-provoking analyses of Biblical narrative, Greek tragedy, and the lynchings and pogroms propagated by contemporary states illustrate his central argument that violence belongs to everyone and is at the heart of the sacred.

    Playing Possum - How Animals...

    When the opossum feels threatened, she becomes paralyzed. Her body temperature plummets, her breathing and heart rates drop to a minimum, and her glands simulate the smell of a putrefying corpse. Playing Possum explores what the opossum and other creatures can teach us about how we and other species understand mortality, and demonstrates that the concept of death, far from being a uniquely human attribute, is widespread in the animal kingdom. 
     
     
     
    With humor and empathy, Susana Monsó tells the stories of ants who attend their own funerals, chimpanzees who clean the teeth of their dead, dogs who snack on their caregivers, crows who avoid the places where they saw a carcass, elephants obsessed with collecting ivory, and whales who carry their dead for weeks. Monsó, one of today's leading experts on animal cognition and ethics, shows how there are more ways to conceive of mortality than the human way, and challenges the notion that the only emotional reactions to death worthy of our attention are ones that resemble our own. 
     
     
     
    Blending philosophical insight with new evidence from behavioral science and comparative psychology, Playing Possum dispels the anthropocentric biases that cloud our understanding of the natural world, and reveals that, when it comes to death and dying, we are just another animal.
