T Thorn Coyle Evolutionary Witchcraft (pdf) Read online

Needleman, Jacob. Money and the Meaning if Life (Doubleday/Currency, I994),

  and Time and the Soul (Berrett-Koehler, 2003). These two books have helped

  me alter my own attitudes about both money and time, furthering my spiritual work in the physical world. These can help with Chapter 6.

  Nightmare, M. Macha, and Starhawk. The Pagan Book if Living and Dying

  (HarperSanFrancisco, I 999). This is the only book of its kind. Includes articles by Thorn and many others.

  Ouspensky, P. D. In Search if the Miraculous: Fragments if an Unknown Teaching

  (Harvest Books, 200 I ). A key book to help understand human automatism

  and how to become more self-aware and less of a machine.

  Palmer, Wendy. The Intuitive Body: Aikido as Clairsentient Practice (North Atlantic

  Books, I 999, revised). Holds good exercises to get one in touch with one's

  body as a holistic and psychic force.

  Pert, Candace B. Molecules if Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine

  (Simon and Schuster, I 999). Dr. Pert has written an interesting entry into

  nondualistic science that shows how integrated consciousness really is.

  Plonka, Lavinia. What Are You Afraid Of? A Body-Mind Guide to Courageous l.ivin.�

  (Tarcher/Penguin, 2004). For an excellent resource on how fear lodges in our

  bodies and controls us, read this. It will show you clear ways to unprogram

  yourself.

  Scholem, Gershom. Kabbalah: a Definitive History if the Evolution, Ideas, 1-l'adil(l; r.:�

  ures and Extraordinary lnjluence if jewish Mysticism (Meridian, 1 978). Sdl!lh-111

  writes an excellent text for those wanting to further underst and t he Triple

  Soul.

  294

  Appendix: Reudin'5s und Resources

  Shirley, John. Gurdjeiff: An Introduction to His Life and Ideas (Tarcher/Penguin,

  2004 ). Gurdjieff's work has had a great influence on my thinking and is helpful to Feri students. This is a good introductory book, a little more storyoriented than Ouspensky's more technical book.

  Starhawk. Dreaming the Dark: Magic, Sex, and Politics (Beacon, I 997). A great

  book on merging spirit and politics.

  The Spiral Dance: The 20th Anniversary (HarperSanFrancisco, I 999). A

  Witchcraft powerhouse, first published in I 979. Includes some Feri material,

  if you look closely.

  Sulak, John, and V. Vale. Modern Pagans (Re/Search Publications, 2002).

  Includes interviews with some Feri practitioners, including Thorn. See www.

  researchpubs.com.

  Toomer, Jean. Essentials: jean Toomer. Edited by Rudolph P. Byrd (Hill Street

  Press, I 999). Reflections on the spiritual life. Not Witchcraft, but quite

  insightful, written by Gurdjieff student and important African-American

  writer of the classic Cane.
