2009

From the Director of Studies SOL

Dear  People,

A very Happy New Year to all students, Supervisors, and Magi, and heartfelt thanks from Michael and I for your help, messages, and cards throughout 2008. As we pass through the Door of 2009 we hope to leave behind us the worries and burdens of the past year and look ahead to the task of making this year one of achievement.
 
For me it will be a busy one with several new books coming out that I hope you will enjoy and find both useful and entertaining.
 
THE MOON BOAT  pub by Datura Press

The Moon Boat is already out and will soon be available on Amazon, as well as from Datura Press, and SOL HQ. This is a a small book of poems mostly with an occult theme.

In March:
 
SHADOWS & LIGHT again pub by Datura Press.

It will  be on Amazon, and hopefully available in other Book stores, as well as from Datura and SOL UK. WE will be putting up a Pre-Order form ASAP. This is a book of my Short Stories some to tug your heartstrings some to make you laugh, and one or two to make you shiver.

In April
 
THE DOOR UNLOCKED. By Stephanie Norris and Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki.

This is an unusual book in that it combines both magic and astrology. Stephanie has taken natal, and initiation charts and with masterly technique has shown how they both predict and enhance each other. More than that, as one progresses higher each new chart shows how that progress has come about, and the underlying strengths it predicts. I added my explanation of how each level of initiation affects the student and what it demands of one. This is the first book to ever correlate the two sciences and will be of interest to both Magicians and Astrologers alike.
 
FIRST STEPS IN RITUAL. Thoth Publishers. UK.

This was advertised before but problems with the printers delayed it. These seem to have been ironed out now and we hope to have this new and  enlarged edtion out by April with a stunning new cover by Chris Hill.
 
LIVING IN THE LIGHT.

This is my autobiography and is still in progress. I am hoping to have it out for my 80th birthday in June, to celebrate 40 years of  active working with the Sacred Science of Magic. In it I have tried to explain what it has been like to live with the inborn talent of psychism and how it has been a part of my life since a small child. So laugh with me, cry with me, feel with me through 80 wonderful years. This will be a limited Hardback Edition of 250. Each one signed and numbered. As soon as we   have a firm date for printing we will put up a Pre-Order form on this Site. and on Amazon.
 

Besides these books I am preparing a series containing archival material from my personal files of lectures and articles right from the 1960’s. They have been sitting in my filing cabinets for too long and it is time they “left home and went out into the wide world.” So I have a very busy year ahead of me. Again thank you all for your love and support not only through 2008 but for all the years we have been together, and hopefully with a few more to come.

You are the Children of my Heart, so live long and prosper.
