Baigent M. Leigh R. & Lincoln H. THE HOLY BLOOD AND THE HOLY GRAIL Corgi 1983 Pb 516pp Illus Pages tanned and spine lightly cracked o/w G £3. The subject of this book could constitute the single most shattering secret of the last two thousand years. The first publication in 1982 sparked off a storm of controversy, reverberations of which are still resounding throughout the Western world. The book's conclusions are persuasive, and to many will be shocking, perhaps profoundly dangerous. Whatever your views, it is a book that you will truly not be able to set aside.

Baigent M. Leigh R. THE TEMPLE AND THE LODGE Arrow 1998 Pb 390pp Illus b&w photographs VG £3. This book charts the birth of Freemasonry through the survival of Templar traditions, through currents of European thought, through the mystery surrounding Rosslyn chapel, and through an elite cadre of aristocrats attached as personal bodyguards to the French king. Pursuing Freemasonry through the 17th and 18th centuries, Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh reveal its contribution to the fostering of tolerance, progressive values, and cohesion in English society, which helped to pre-empt a French-style revolution. Even more dramatically, the influence of Freemasonry emerges as a key factor in the formation of the United States of America as an embodiment of the ideal "Masonic Republic". Meticulous researched and annotated and well worth reading!

Baran M. ATLANTIS RECONSIDERED - A NEW LOOK AT THE ANCIENT DELUGE LEGENDS AND AN ANALYSIS OF MYSTERIOUS MODERN PHENOMENA Exposition Press 1981 Hb 1st American Ed 82pp Dw (slight rip on back cover of dustwrapper o/w G) Contents VG £9. What caused the disappearance of the fabulous island-continent of Atlantis? What power did Atlanteans possess that made them the mightiest and most advanced beings the world has ever known, yet probably contributed to their annihilation? Was this mighty power used to influence the rise of other ancient civilisations? Can there still be Atlanteans stalking the earth today - creatures immensely old by virtue of the power they possess - living deep beneath the ground, keeping watch on mankind? Are they responsible for the mysteries that have baffled mankind for centuries: the Great Pyramids, disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, and UFO sightings? The author with incredible foresight, has pieced together evidence from sources old and new to present possible answers to these and other questions in this book. This fascinating explanations presented are supported by modern scientific theories, as well as by stories and observations of the venerable ancients. The works of Edgar Cayce, Jacques Bergier, and Ignatius Donnelly are three of the many references studied in an attempt to correlate legend with science and the mysterious forces of magnetism - a force Michael Baran firmly believes was the key not only to the Atlantean civilisation, but to the numerous unexplained phenomena present today. This book is certain to spur further investigation into the phenomena discussed, and those with an open mind will be amazed at the appeal the book makes to both the intellect and the imagination. Readers will be awed by just how ignorant man is of his prehistoric existence. There is much to be learned here.

Berlitz C. THE DRAGON'S TRIANGLE Grafton 1991 Pb 204pp b&w photographs back cover slightly creased in bottom left corner o/w G £2. In this book the author reveals the secrets of another, more menacing, infinitely more dangerous body of water in a section of the Pacific known only as the Devil's Sea. Hundreds of ships of all sizes have vanished within this Triangle including military ships, armed nuclear submarines, research and scientific expeditions, and even tankers - one over 200,000 tons. Moreover, the vessels have disappeared without any trace of shipwreck flotsam; in calm seas; without any distress messages and with remarkably few survivors, none of whom can explain exactly what happened to them. Planes, too, have vanished - including three US military aircraft in a period of ten days. Why do pilots flying over the Triangle report strange mists and a disorienting sense of accelerated time? What causes the ocean current in the Dragon's Sea to create three-sided waves? And why was this section of the Pacific designated a "Danger Zone" by the Japanese government? Charles Berlitz, master of the unexplained, answers these and many other questions, in this compelling and exciting examination of one of the world's truly great natural mysteries.

Charles Berlitz describes some extraordinary incidents - none of them previously known to more than a few people from the mystery-haunted section of the Atlantic Ocean he made famous in his international bestseller, "The Bermuda Triangle". Among the startling occurrences he reports: A plan flies into a monstrous cumulus cloud off Andros, loses radio contact, regains it 4 minutes later, but finds itself over Miami with 25 more gallons of gas than it should have had, A US Navy ship and her crew are said to have been rendered invisible during World War II, A mate on a cargo ship notes his ship turning in a circle, all navigational instruments affected, and a "Ball of Fire" almost carries him from the deck while passing low over the ship, A crew member of the QE1 watches as a plane disappears into the sea 100 yards from the ship. The sea merely opens; there is no splash, no noise, no wreckage or oil, A plane is seen in daylight by hundreds of people to crash in shallow water at a well-frequented beach, but no trace of it is found and Shipmasters sighting ships enter names in their logs but the ships that they see have long been listed as sunk or have disappeared. These are only a few of the events Mr Berlitz recounts in his new look at the celebrated "Triangle", where the mysterious and the unexplainable are as much a part of the sea as the water itself.

Bord J. & C. THE SECRET COUNTRY BCA 1977 Hb 216pp Illus b&w photographs Dw VG Contents VG £6.50. The authors have collected many such traditions from a variety of sources. In their new book, once again sumptuously illustrated with beautiful and evocative photographs taken by the authors, they present over 650 of them with the aim of shedding some light on the enigmatic prehistoric structures and the character, abilities and beliefs of their architects. The traditions that they relate cover a wide range of topics, and the origins of many of them may go back to the dawn of civilisation in Britain: healing stones, cursing stones, dancing stones, fertility stones, buried treasure and underground passages, dragons and monsters, devils, giants, ghosts, fairies, poltergeists and witches; church sitings, UFOs and end-of-the-world prophecies. The authors hold the theory that stone circles and standing stones may have served for mutually compatible purposes - as astronomical calculators, generators of terrestrial energy, storage batteries for cosmic and terrestrial energies conveyed through "earth currents", and radiating devices to disseminate these energies across the land (possibly through ley lines); and that it was the intention of those who first erected the stones to ensure the correctly balanced flow of life-giving energies throughout the planet and all the life forms upon it.

Hancock G. FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS - A QUEST FOR THE BEGINNING AND THE END Heinemann 1995 Hb 1st Ed Dw 505pp B&w Photographs by Santha Faiia VG £6. The author embarks on a worldwide quest to put together the pieces of a vast and mysterious jigsaw-puzzle of mankind's forgotten prehistory. In ancient ruins as far apart as Egypt's Great Sphinx, the strange Andean temples at Tiahuanaco and Mexico's awe-inspiring Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, he reveals not only the clear fingerprints of an unknown people who flourished during the last ice age, but also disquieting signs of high intelligence, technological sophistication and detailed scientific knowledge of the cosmos aeons before any previously known civilisation. Through the memory-banks of universal myth and legend - which store much of our species' prehistoric records - the author uncovers traces of a precise scientific language, encoding the results of thousands of years of accurate astronomical observations. He studies ancient maps, incorporating spherical trigonometry, showing how the world would have looked 12,000 years ago - and with levels of accuracy not achieved by our own cartographers until the nineteenth century. Finally, he uses the most up-to-date techniques of geology and astronomy to show that the conventionally accepted dating of a number of intriguing archaeological sites around the world cannot possibly be correct and that they must be considered far, far older than was previously thought. The author's extraordinary findings form the core of what could be an intellectual revolution, a dramatic and irreversible change in the way that we understand our own past - and thus ourselves. A fascinating book.

Saul J.M. & Glaholm J.A. RENNES-LE-CHATEAU - A BIBLIOGRAPHY Mercurious Press 1985 Pb Larger format 52pp VG £3. During the past two decades, the isolated village of Rennes-le-Chateau in the foothills of the French Pyrenees has been the focus of intense speculation. It has variously been claimed to be an ancient mystical religious centre, the hiding place of the "Treasures of the Temple of Jerusalem", and the dynastic seat of a secret royalty descended from Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The international best-seller, The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, published in 1982, is only one of a flood of recent publications, ranging from the serious and scholarly to the occult and cryptic, to have been inspired by the mysteries surrounding Rennes-le-Chateau. This book is a comprehensive listing of some 450 published references to the subject, with annotations provided for the more important and curious items. The listing is prefaced by a brief discussion of the historical significance of Rennes-le-Chateau and of the original underlying reason for the importance of this unique site.

Screeton P. QUICKSILVER HERITAGE - THE MYSTIC LEYS: THEIR LEGACY OF ANCIENT WISDOM Thorsons 1974 Hb 1st Ed 272pp Illus VG £15. One of the paths to enlightenment has a firm foundation in the physical world. There exists a striking network of lines of subtle force across Britain, and elsewhere on spaceship Earth, understood and marked in prehistoric times by men of wisdom and cosmic consciousness. These lines of inspiration hold one of the keys to universal knowledge and spirituality for mankind today. This book attempts to present a balance between an antiquarian's re-evaluation of prehistory, and a spiritual conception of a "live" power understood by our distant forefathers and which can be tapped today. The author's thesis is the existence in prehistoric times of an active science of spiritual physics, whereby the functions of mind and body were integrated with currents in the earth and powers from the cosmos. Newcomers to the subject and seasoned investigators will find through these pages basic information on recognizing ley points and tracing alignments on maps and in the field, a history of ley hunting and allied research, speculations on astrology, astronomy, alchemy, unidentified flying objects, giantlore and dragonlore, conclusions upon the spiritual nature of the quest for leys, and to aid those who wish to read more deeply into the subject the author has included a comprehensive bibliography.

Spence L. THE MYSTERIES OF BRITAIN Senate 1994 256pp Larger format Pages slightly browning on edges due to age Previous owner's label and stamp on inside cover and second stamp on first page Drawings o/w G £4. Lewis Spence's rallying call to spiritual regeneration animates this classic work on the secret rites and traditions of ancient Britain. Drawing upon Bardic writings and archaeological evidence such as stone circles, Spence argues that Druidism developed out of a cult of the Dead, which arose in North Africa, but was adopted and transformed by the British Celts. Spence describes the Druids as having both magical and administrative functions and that, under Roman persecution they only seemed to disappear. He provides good evidence that they survived in the Celtic areas of the British Isles.
