  “Time travel offends our sense of cause and effect - but maybe the universe doesn't insist on cause and effect.” - Edward M. Lerner, physicist and author  
  	We take time for granted as it passes during every moment of our existence. Other things may change, but time remains constant and predictable. The past, the present, and the future exist within a harmonious, reliable, and never-changing system. Or at least that’s how it seems… 
  	It was Albert Einstein who, in 1905, first theorized that time might not be quite as straightforward as that. In one of the most influential papers on physics ever published[1], he proposed something called “time dilatation.” This suggested that time was neither fixed nor constant and that the passage of time was related to the relative speed of the observer. The closer an object approached the speed of light, the more notable this effect was. For example, if it were possible to build an interstellar craft capable of reaching speeds that approached the speed of light, the passengers on that ship might experience the passage of a single year during a voyage, but when they returned to Earth, they might find that dozens of years had passed on the planet. 
  	That was a truly revolutionary idea back in 1905, and it wasn’t until the 1960s that technology had advanced to the point that it was possible to conduct experiments to check Einstein’s theory by measurement. Those experiments and subsequent tests proved that he was entirely correct. Even in 1908, new theories proposed that time was the fourth dimension of spacetime and that it wasn’t fixed at all but governed by the same laws of relativity that applied to other aspects of physics. 
  	These were exciting developments, and current theories of physics have taken this idea even further, suggesting that both space and time are “emergent.”

  The complete reference for understanding the Enochian language (“the language of the angels”), the proper pronunciation of the letters of the Enochian alphabet, and the use of evocations to call forth celestial beings and perform Enochian magic.In 1581, Dr. John Dee, an advisor in the court of Queen Elizabeth I, began a series of scrying experiments intended to explore the ability to contact the spirit world. With Edward Kelley acting as the medium in these experiments, Dee was able to record these communications as they were transmitted in Enochian, the language of the angels. Dr. Dee’s efforts furthered the development of the system of Enochian magic and his methods of invocation have been taken up and expounded upon by Aleister Crowley and many other magicians.Donald C. Laycock has thoroughly analyzed the work of Dee and Kelley. In this volume, he recounts the history of their experiments. He provides a pronunciation guide for the twenty-one letters, significant to untangling both the meaning and the derivation of the messages handed down from Dee and Kelley, and an essential Enochian/English and English/Enochian dictionary. The result is a fascinating linguistic and magical mystery story integral to any study of the Enochian tradition.This new edition of Laycock’s work includes a new preface by Stephen Skinner that sets the tone and historical context for today’s readers. Lon Milo DuQuette’s foreword gives a delightful and edifying description of how he and his students put The Complete Enochian Dictionary to the test with astonishing results. This book is a must-have for any serious magician’s library.

  Designed with both mental health clinicians and clients in mind, Trauma-Informed Yoga offers forty-seven short, simple practices that regulate the autonomic nervous system, calm the racing mind, and center those of us living chaotic twenty-first century lives. 
   
   
   
  Drawing from over twenty years of teaching and clinical practice, Spence masterfully weaves together the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern neuroscience and clinical practice in an accessible and compassionate manner. 
   
   
   
  This how-to toolbox will arm you with knowledge and with powerful, yet simple, mind-body activities that reduce suffering and increase well-being.
