    • Once sought after by French Huguenots, Spanish invaders, English privateers and indigenous tribes, St. Augustine is a melting pot of cultural conquests. Anyone who traces its cobblestone streets, sails its vast shoreline or explores its unique architecture senses those who came before. Paranormal researcher and author Dr. Greg Jenkins examines ghostly happenings in the city's charming inns, pubs and eateries that keep guests looking over their shoulders. There's the lady with the lantern perched atop the Casablanca Inn who still searches for seafaring bootleggers and the spirit "Catalina" who peers through the window at hungry diners in Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille. Enjoy these stories and more, with personal interviews and documented visitor logs from the featured establishments.

      Like Runes, The Theban Oracle is a unique and singular writing system, or more appropriately, an alphabet-codex that is based on the ancient magical writings devised by the 14th century magi, Honorius of Thebes. It was later utilized as an oracle by such masters of the occult sciences as Henry Cornelius Agrippa, Petrus de Abano and Dr. John Dee among other medieval and renaissance contemporaries of high magick. The Theban code-writing system appeared to go dormant until 1801, when Englishman Francis Barrett brought this and other esoteric aspects of magick back into vogue. It was later re-discovered by Gerald Gardner in the 1930s, where it caught on in select covens and metaphysical circles.

      A Face in the Sky
    • The book gives a brief introduction to the history of Helston, but essentially celebrates the last one hundred years of the town. Through the inclusion of over 250 photographs, supplemented by detailed captions and a lively text based on Reggie Jenkin's stories of life within the town, this superb book will be an heirloom for anyone living in the borough, or for those with family associations with it. First published in 2000 and quickly sold out, this new edition of The Book of Helston, published to coincide with the Diamond Jubilee, brings the story of the community fully up to date. A new section highlights what has happened since the book was first issued, and new images capture how the Jubilee was celebrated. Much extra housing, for example, has increased the population considerably. A fine multi-purpose building has been built on the site of the old cattle market. This provides a venue for a large Farmers' Market, office accommodation and several rooms for community use. This building, along with the Lakeside Caf, Skateboard Park, Children's Playground and 'events square' gives a whole new dimension to the area and is enjoyed by young and old alike. All this and more features in this unique publication which is a vital record of the history and inhabitants of the ancient parish of Helston, presented in a single volume for all to treasure.
