Product Description
`History: Fiction or Science? Chronology 2` is the second volume of the most explosive and astounding tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by rock solid scientific data. The book is easy and pleasant to read; it is well-illustrated, contains hundreds of charts, graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays. You will be amazed to discover: - That the chronology universally accepted today and taken for granted is simply wrong; - That ALL methods of dating of ancient sources and artefacts known today are erroneous or non-exact; - That there is not a single document that could be reliably dated earlier than the XIth century; The Author refers to the Middle Ages as the Antiquity and proves mutual superimposition of the Second and the Third Roman Empire, both of which become identified as the respective kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Furthermore, he asserts that the famous reform of the Occidental Church in the XI century by Pope Gregory Hildebrand was the reflection of the XII century reforms of Byzantine emperor Andronicus who in his turn identifies with Jesus Christ. The Trojan war counted by Homer happened only as late as of the XIII century A.D. and the great poet actually lived in XIV century A.D. No stone in history of Antiquity is left unturned. Literally. This book is the beginning of a major correction to the chronology we live with.

I don't care what other people say of this book. Those affirmig it's fake, they hadn't ever read it. Or have some special reasons to do so. "Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see..." This book won't make you feel comfortable. It'll make you feel free. It'll make you feel you're "not the only one" to feel you'd been lied to for centuries.
Suprise! Suprise!.......2007-03-22
Here is a serie of books which turns "the whole world" upside down. I learned a lot of it and I hope that a new book from A.T. Fomenko will follow very quick. A absolute must for everybody who is interested in history or even a little bit from it.
Prescient St Augustine?.......2006-02-05
We can so far divide the New Chronology into the following three parts:
a) The verifiable theory that proves consensual chronology wrong with the aid of astronomy, statistics and mathematics;
b) The new chronology hypothesis based on a new understanding of known historical facts and the most likely logical explanation of the most obvious inconsistencies inherent in the official version of history;
c) The history conjectures, that is experimental historical reconstructions based on assumptions that the authors believe to make sense in the light of their research and linguistic parallels - void of ironclad factual support to date.
Fomenko's theory complies with the most rigid scientific standards as a whole:
It gives a coherent explanation of what we already know.
- It is consistent: independent lines of inquiry all lead to the same conclusion.
- The predictions it makes are confirmed empirically.
Fomenko goes by the following axioms:
- Chronology is the basis of history;
- Human evolution has always been linear, gradual and irreversible;
- The "cyclic" nature of human civilization is a myth, likewise all the gaps, duplicates, "dark ages" and "renaissances" that we know from consensual history;
- The accumulation of geographical knowledge as reflected in cartography is a gradual and irreversible process;
- The chronological distance between a given manuscript and the events described therein is proportional to the amount of distortions it contains;
- There is no "useless" information in authentic ancient sources.
Why the mainstream historians do not shower mathematician Academician Dr.Prof Fomenko with thanks and laurels?
The Russians:
Because Fomenko asserts that there was no such thing as the Tartar and Mongol invasion followed by three centuries of slavery, providing a formidable body of documental evidence to prove his assertion. The so-called "Tartars and Mongols" were the actual ancestors of the modern Russians, living in a bilingual state with Arabic spoken as freely as Russian. The ancient Russian state was governed by a double structure of civil and military authorities. The hordes were actually professional armies with a tradition of lifelong conscription (the recruitment being the so-called "blood tax"). Their "invasions" were punitive operations against the regions that attempted tax evasion. Fomenko proves that Russian history as we know it today is a blatant forgery concocted by a host of German scientists brought to Russia by the usurper dynasty of the Romanovs, whose ascension to the throne was the result of coup d'état, charged with the mission of making their reign look legitimate. Fomenko proves Ivan the Terrible to be a collation of four rulers, no less. They represented the two rival dynasties - the legitimate rulers and the ambitious upstarts. The winner took it all! Over some 30 years of controversy, Russian historians have made a most remarkable transition - they were initially accusing the young mathematician Fomenko of anticommunist dissident activity and attempts to deface the historical legacy of Soviet Russia; nowadays the middle-aged mathematician is accused of adhering to "pro-communist Russian nationalism" and defacing the proud historical legacy of Great Russia.
The Westerners:
Because Fomenko blows consensual Russian history to smithereens, successfully removing a crucial cornerstone from underneath the otherwise impeccable edifice of World History. Fomenko adds insult to injury, wiping out one by one the Ancient Rome (the foundation of Rome in Italy is dated to the XIV century A. D.), the Ancient Greece and its numerous poleis, which he identifies as the mediaeval crusader settlements on the territory of Greece, and the Ancient Egypt (the pyramids of Giza become dated to the XI-XV century A. D. and identified as the royal cemetery of the Global "Mongolian" Empire, no less). The civilization of the Ancient Egypt is irrefutably dated to the XII-XV century A. D. with the aid of the ancient Egyptian horoscopes cut in stone. He was the first one to decipher and date all such horoscopes, coming up with mediaeval dates in every case. English historians rage at the suggestion that the history of Ancient England was de facto a Byzantine import transplanted to the English soil by the fugitive Byzantine nobility. To reward the English historians who consider themselves the true scribes of World History, the cover of the present book portrays Tintoretto's Jesus Christ crucified on the Big Ben.
The Chinese:
Because Fomenko wipes out the Ancient History of China outright. No such thing. Full point. The compilation of the so-called Ancient Chinese History is reliably datable to the XVII-XVIII century only. It is perfectly recognizable as the Ancient European history, reworked and transcribed in hieroglyphs as yet another historical transplantation, this time performed on the Chinese soil by the loving Jesuit hands. The Chinese are the next in line to go berserk. Chinese history is inevitably bound to get both more ancient and more eventful, proportionally to the growing involvement of China in the world affairs. Chinese historians will keep on finding valid proof of prehistoric Chinese spaceflights until the Politburo orders them to shut up.
The Arabs:
Too bad. Islam with all its key figures is datable to XV-XVI century A. D. Arabic historians may find consolation in the crucial historical role of the Ottoman Empire in the XVI-XVII century. The trouble is that this empire was initially a Christian state, with Hagia Sophia identifiable as Temple of Solomon, according to Fomenko! We can only guess if the acquisition of Alexander the Great (a Macedonian and a Christian) as the founder of the Muslim World Empire will make Fomenko's theories more acceptable to the Arabic mainstream. He certainly does not spare any holy cows at all, claiming The Stone of Qa'Aba in Mecca to contain the lost Arch of the Covenant.
The Divinity:
Despite of reiterated statement that his theory is all about chronology and not Religion, Fomenko stirs up a whole condominium of wasp nests. His collection of anathemas, fatwa, and other condemnations from all parties concerned is already considerable. Little wonder, considering that the history of religions à la Fomenko looks as follows: the pre-Christian period (before the XI century and JC), Bacchic Christianity (XI-XII century, before and after JC), JC Christianity (XII-XVI century) and its subsequent mutations into Orthodox Christianity, the Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism, and so on.
According to Fomenko we know strictly NOTHING about the events that predate the X century A. D.
St Augustin was prescient when he spoke unto us: "be wary of mathematicians, particularly when they speak the truth."
Something of a disappointment.......2005-09-09
After having read the first volume of this expected series of 7 volumes I was triggered by the thesis of these authors that ancient Greek and Roman history did in fact take place in the Middle Ages. So I started studying medieval history of the Middle East - also known as Islamic history - to find out if the opponents of the ancient Greeks and Romans - the Acheamenid Persians, Sassanids, Scythians, Egyptians, etc. - also have their duplicates in medieval history. My search was disappointing: none of the many medieval Islamic dynasties seemed to correspond to the ancient middle eastern rulers.
However, I did find a close correspondence between Herodotus' Persian kings and medieval events:
- the defeat and capture of an Anatolian king - the Lydian Croesus - by the Persian conqueror Cyrus is identical to the defeat and capture of another Anatolian king - sultan Bayezid - by the Asian/Mongol conqueror Tamerlane;
- the Persian conquest of Egypt by the cruel tyrant Cambyses reds almost exactly as the Ottoman conquest of Egypt by Selim the Grim (note the nickname!);
- Darius the Lawgiver of the Persian Empire looks very much alike to Sulayman the Magnificent, the Lawgiver in Islamic history;
- Xerxes, whose main claim to fame is to be defeated by the Greeks at the naval battle of Salamis, looks like Selim II (the Sot) whose main claim to fame is to be defeated by a Spanish-Italian alliance at the naval battle of Lepanto.
I should have expected Fomenko et al. to arrive at similar conclusions, however, they claim that the Persian kings are the alter egos of the Angevin kings of Sicily whose biographies do not contain the exploits of the Persian kings.
The similiarities I indicate lead to the conclusion that Herodotus must have written his Histories at the close of the 16th century. But this is extremely late, given that Herodotus is "the Father of History", so therefore all other "ancient" histories must have been fabricated even later. Yet, the founders of modern chronology - Scaliger and Petavius - laid their foundations also at the close of the 16th century and had the full corpus of ancient histories already at their disposal.
It seems to me that Fomenko has to address these inconsistencies, maybe in the forthcoming 5 volumes?
Another critique of their book is that the correspondencies between different rulers are often based on a superficial comparison of the biographies; upon a more thorough comparison many details appear that do not correspond at all.
Finally, the authors rely heavily on the works of Gregorovius (1821-1891!!) - his medieval histories of Rome and Athens - as the source of medieval history; these works are - at least in the West - hoplessly outdated and have been superceded by more up-to-date works (for instance, Julius Norwich's trilogy on Byzantine history is not even cited).
Romulus courts Helen, Paris founds Rome, Moses goes to Troy.........2005-07-30
If you agree with Fomenko that Roman chronology is basically the foundation of the entire edifice of global chronology; you would also certainly agree that despite its numerous gaps and inconsistencies, Roman history is the best-documented field of ancient history, and thus a reference scale. But how well is the actual date of the Eternal City's foundation known?
Firstly, Rome is supposed to have been founded by the Trojans who had to flee after the fall of Troy. Some claim Rome to have been founded by Aeneas and Ulysses shortly after Troy had fallen; others are of the opinion that there was an entire dynasty that ruled for 500 years between the fall of Troy and the foundation of Rome.
Well, that's just an innocent 500 years long misunderstanding compared with what heretic Fomenko says, asserts, proves in his second volume: Second Roman Empire, Third Roman Empire, Biblical Kingdom of Israel, Biblical Kingdom of Judah, Holy Roman Empire are stories about basically same events, written from different points of view at different times. The underlying events have actually taken place during xii-xv cy. These histories have been written and perfected by multitude of highly talented humanist and clerical writers of xiii-xvi cy disguised as "ancients" with glorious names like Homer, Pluto, Thucydides etc..Chronology 2.0 beta..

The drawings weave the story........1999-07-28
After owning over 30 different tarot decks this is my favorite everyday deck because I find the cards so easy to read. The Norse deck has soft colors and clear, graceful drawings but the perspective and action of the pictures of these cards are compelling and have really added life to the Tarot for me. Study the minor arcana and it filmic-ly tells a story without already knowing the traditional meaning of the cards. The court cards don't describe physical attributes of a person as much as they describe a more accurate description of their emotional maturity and personality traits. * The bonus is that the book and major arcana introduced me to Norse mythology and thus served as an introduction for learning the Runes.
Ok, but nothing special........1999-07-10
This was the first tarot pack that I receieved as a present from a friend. The artwork is not as good when viewed close-up as it is from further away. The drawings for the Major Arcana are better than those for the Minor Arcana, but neither groups have been (in my opinion) meticulously drawn. The accompanying book is quite good. There is some background to the Norse myths, gods and goddesses, but the explanations given for a reading of each card is very undetailed, basically just one like and not very helpful. You would need to buy another book on tarot if you were a beginner in order to give a concise and detailed reading. The book also gives an overview of the different spreads used which is quite well done, although once again, not as detailed as I would have liked. Overall, an average tarot pack.
The perfect Tarot for the intermediate (Norse) user........1997-11-14
The Book is strong in linking the major arcana to the stories of the Noremen, but does a disservice to the reader not familiar with Norse Mythology. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is already familiar with one or two versions of the standard tarot deck AND already has some familiarity with Norse mythology. The instruction is insightful, well articulated and comprehensive (I only wish it had been longer with an expanded section for runes... but you can't have it all). The cards are well drawn and detailed. Best of all, one does not have to memorize the meanings of the cards; the meaning is easily deducible from the pictures. Right on and about time!

A Must Have .......2007-06-08
If you order or have the Motherpeace tarot deck, you must have this book to go along with them. It describes what each card means and it's layed out in a way to easily access the card definition you are seeking. It gives one a lot to think about while reading your cards. You will also learn a lot about women's herstory.
Endless Inspiration!.......2006-02-04
I've been using the Motherpeace Tarot cards with the original version of this book for almost twenty years. The cards have a wonderful matriarchal/woman/goddess focus, and the book uses gender-nuetral language, so the cards can be used easily by both men and women. I continue to gain new insight and inspiration from this deck even after all these years! The detailed symbolism in the artwork is incredible, and the book is well organized to either read about the card in detail or get a quick summary. I don't usually use the cards in the suggested layout because it can take a long time to go through each position. I usually spend a little time centering myself and form a question or situation clearly in my mind, then shuffle and cut the cards and lay out one to three cards (one for just the situation, or three for past-present-future interpretations). I then spend some time looking at the cards to see what jumps out at me, then read about them in the book. Sometimes I'll keep a card from a reading out on my nightstand for a few days to continue contemplation of the image, or to remind me of an affirmation or message that came to me from the card. I don't necessarily use the cards for "telling the future", but rather as a tool to help me clarify and focus my intuition and thinking. Every now and then, for really key situations, I'll use the layout described in the book. It's very comprehensive and can be useful to help think about things in many different ways (atmosphere, hopes, fears, obstacles, conscious and unconscious impressions, etc.). I also use the Motherpeace Tarot Playbook by Vicki Noble and Jonathan Tenney, which goes into more detail on how to interpret cards that are leaning in one direction or the other, or are reversed (upside down). The Playbook also has more information about the recommended layout, and about using the cards with astrology and the chakras. I would recommend that anyone who plans to use these cards frequently get both of these books to use together. I've used other tarot decks, but have always come back to my Motherpeace cards!
full of information.......2006-02-01
it is a most have book.with easy to read for beginners.you will not regret purchase
Great Tarot, Helpful Interpretations.......2004-07-08
I've used this book and matching Tarot deck for 7 years or so. (I go through phases where I consult it regularly and then periods when I don't use it at all.)
The book is easy to understand, explains in detail a lot of symbolism you might not know, and also offers a quick "if you get this card in a reading" section if you just want to zoom into your current reading. It importantly also encourages users to use the book for general understanding of symbols in the cards, and the larger context of the cards, and to trust in one's own intuition for readings.
One thing I really liked about the book is how the 22 Major Arcana cards tell a story of the history of the world--one that has not yet been completed. It is all a big cycle, with many little currents running through.
This is a tarot focused on the goddess, a panorama of earth-based and matrifocal cultures. But I am a man and have never felt astranged or put off by this focus... quite to the contrary it has been helpful.
A feminist book about the tarot.......2001-08-25
I actually bought this book several months before I bought the Motherpeace cards--I liked the card interpretations better than the art. The book was useful for reading any deck--the meanings correspond most closely, of course, with the Motherpeace deck, but they can also add a different flavor to a reading with any deck. Motherpeace, as you probably already know, is a deck that focuses on ancient matriarchal culture and its contact with patriarchy. History doesn't tell us much, but a woman angry at the world can find some comfort in the theory anyway. The Motherpeace book will add a slant to your reading that will give you a sense of power--whether you possess worldly power or not. And it may give you a sense of hope about the kind of society we could build if we'd stop fighting. And, politics aside, it's a pretty solid tarot book in general.
Book Description
The Book of Doors presents an entirely new divination system that accesses the ancient knowledge of Egypt, enabling you to unlock your intuitive abilities and call upon the energy of the Egyptian deities, whose powers transform both matter and spirit.

The Rosetta Stone... .......2006-11-21
I stumbled upon this little treasure by chance and absolutely love it! I have always been attracted to Egyptian lore and have collected various oracles and Tarot decks with similar themes. This one takes the cake! Historically based and thoroughly researched, it is not just a simple pack of cards.
The artistic skill could be a little tighter. The colors are not vivid, the execution is not as professional as it could be. What it lacks here, philosophically this set is lightyears ahead of all competition. It took about a month of study and review until it gave its secrets. It was mindboggling! I was a strict believer that the tarot did not come from Egypt. Now I am not so sure. This is not a tarot deck but it works like one if desired through random shuffling. I really appreciate the casting of the included 8 sided die.
There are some hard to believe theories presented as well; such as life originating on another planet, and rather abstract theories on the afterlife. I wished the book was longer, with sections on magical applications and individual invocations. To a creative magician, this is not difficult. Time will tell where this deck ends up. I was clueless as to its existence before this year. A second edition with some beefed up artistry would be nice but who knows...
Interesting.......2006-08-13
I bought this deck thinking that this was a tarot deck...boy, was I surprised when I got the set. However, not to be bogged down, I sat down and went through the Book and then even did a few readings for myself and my friends.
It was powerful, to say the least! The readings are quite accurate and on the dot. I never thought that it would happen, but I have come to develop a respect for this method of divinition.
You can use this deck like a regular tarot deck as well and it still provides you with the answers you seek! This is how interesting this deck is.
I must say that I loved it!
my favorite book deck and die.......2006-04-28
all i can say is the book of doors is so in tune, i use and have used many other divine tools, however this stands to be the best. not once in a divination session has the oracle been off. all my friends and family are so suprised how true it is. i have used the book of doors since it has been published. in fact i use it so much
i had to order 2 more sets, because my book was falling apart. 1 for divining with others, and 1 for just me aclean copy. any ways the book of doors should be on everyones coffee table. the information is accurate, and true, simple to follow,the ancient teachings is a plus, it is simply divine.
very good.......2005-05-20
i just got this set, and i love it. it is attractive! the author knows the material and the text is well written and provoking.it should be placed in the top ten along with the thoth deck for esoteric knowledge & thought.
it is not new age fluff...it is a serious working deck.
if you love ancient egypt and are willing to put in the time and work required for this deck, i think you will be greatly rewarded
the only complaints i have is it could be better quality & packaging...the cards are not coated and the die should have been made of wood. but most tarots will have similar issues...
An excellent tool and learning vehicle.......2001-06-03
As an archpriestess of Isis in the Fellowship of Isis, I am always looking for good tools to help introduce people to the Gods of ancient Egypt. The Book of Doors is one such tool.
The Book of Doors gives both a wonderful introduction and a detailed look into the Gods of ancient Egypt, presented as a medium for divination. The authors' heavy emphasis on alchemy as a path for understanding and transformation draws on the long tradition that historically traces that discipline to Egypt. While I do not always agree with their interpretation of the meanings of the Gods, which they sometimes distort to fit their alchemical model, I still find this a useful tool for both divination and for studying the Gods and Goddesses. I recommend it highly as an alternative or backup to your everyday Tarot deck!
I also find the use of a die to select cards to be a wonderful randomizing tool, as opposed to traditional shuffling and other selection methods. They supply an 8-sided die with the deck, along with instructions for using it. Interesting method.

gorgeous art, fabulous research.......2002-03-16
Hrana Janto's artwork is stunning-- women of all shapes, sizes, ages and colors grace the cards, representing goddesses from an amazingly large amount of world cultures. I have an art print of my favorite goddess-- Isis-- on one of my walls, and wish I had more. The colors are vivid and the research that went into each card, the symbols that the cards contain and the representations of all the archetypes-- show strong committment to the goddess stories.
This is a deck of cards that you feel good about owning, because you feel somehow connected to all these fabulous women.
fun game.......2001-03-20
This is beautiful artwork but the cards are too large to work with for small hands. The fun is reading the stuff as you play the game.
H from Virginia Beach.......2001-01-17
I bought this book and set of cards from Amy, herself, when she was at a local bookstore. I feel very fortunate to have met her. Since then I have shared the cards with friends and all have been pleased and surprised with the positive, clear guidance in them. It doesn't matter what faith you have, I believe these tools are created with Blessings and can serve anyone. I agree with the rave reviews I have read. This set can help a person put a positive, balanced spin on any situation. Thank you Amy and Hrana.
Most useful tool I own.......2000-12-04
I tend to be a junkie for various metaphysical decks -- tarot cards, medicine cards, rune cards, etc. -- but the Goddess Oracle is the one I use the most because it's the most helpful and effective. It always sheds light on whatever my problem is and gives greater insight. The correspondences between the goddesses shown and the meanings are wonderful and Marashinsky's research, respect and love for the topic shine through. Janto's art is the perfect compliment. She has created some of the most beautiful depictions of goddesses I've ever seen. Everyone I've ever introduced to the Goddess Oracle has been blown away by it and soon after bought their own. That should say something.
Perfect, pure and powerful guidence for life's journey!.......2000-08-26
I am the author of the book "MASTER DATING (RTM) How to Meet and Attract Quality Men!" No words could possibly describe how deeply these cards have impacted my life. They have guided me and my loved ones through some really tough navigations and contributed to my peace, joy and success immesurably. It is uncanny how right on they are EVERY SINGLE TIME! Many skeptics mouths have dropped open and gotten stuck that way as their card was revealed and read. Though every card is positive and powerful, it is always overwhelmingly clear that the one you pulled IS THE RIGHT ONE!!!! I highly reccommed this book and cards to every person who is ready to grow and step into thier power--and if you order them, get ready for pure love and joy because you are about to embark on an amazing journey, the journey of your life. I thank the authors and artists who created this work of energy for being my conduit to the Goddesses!
Book Description

Pronunciation guide included.

Overall a very good product.......2007-05-07
This is a great deck. I am suprised that some of the Deities were included whilst others were not. Example -- Kubera was not included but Vamana was. There were also two different cards for Kali, and Shiva -- and understandably so, but I felt that the selection of cards could have been rounded out better.
The art is fantastic and the cards are high quality. The smell is familiar as it reminds me of some of my Ashram experiences -- although I can't put my finger on what the scent is.
I recommend this card set to anyone interested in Yoga, Hindu Theology/Mythology, as well as tarot readers looking to connect with the energies of the East.
A beautiful deck!.......2006-03-22
If you are a fan of Indra Sharma, or if you have his other deck, The Gita Deck, then you MUST have this deck as well. Once again, the gorgeous artwork pictured on each card make this a mini masterpiece - delighting fans of Hindu art.
Many diverse and unique gods and goddesses are featured - some that I was totally unacquainted with plus the more familiar ones such as Hanuman and Ganesha. On the back of the card you will find mantras along with a listing of what they are helpful with (ex: removing obstacles).
This is a great way to honor the colorful gods featured in the Hindu religion - or to introduce them to those of us who want to learn more.

Book Description
Now readers can return to the planet of holy lusts and deadly dreams.
Paul is a monk, which is better than a warrior on the planet Tarot, where religions are wielded like swords.

Piers Anthony tackles God........2005-04-11
The Tarot books can be looked at as the little detour that Piers Anthony took into the traditional territory of Zelazny and Philip K. Dick. More concerned with religion and symbolism than with swords and sorcery, God of Tarot is an odd little digression in the overall Anthony body of work.
God of Tarot opens like the set-up for a Clifford D. Simak book: almost all of Earth has fled for the stars, fueled by the technology of matter transmission. Earth is left depopulated and stripped of all energy sources, with only the remnants left to keep the light burning.
Brother Paul is a monk of the Holy Order of Vision. His life is going as planned, until suddenly he is given a mission. God, or something like it, is apparently manifesting on a planet called Tarot. Paul is tasked with getting to the bottom of the animations and potentially making the decision as to whose God is the revealed God...
Anthony should be applauded for following a road that took him so far away from Xanth. The Tarot books show him to be a talented and creative writer, when he chooses to be. The ideas are crisp in God of Tarot, and generally very well written.
This said, it is a book with many flaws. It is very complicated to read and follow, and requires quite a bit of background understanding about Golden Dawn and Crowley to really get all of the references. There are moments where I felt like Anthony was more interested in displaying his knowledge than I felt like he was interested in the reader. Also, having discarded the bad puns and witty asides of Xanth, the fact that his plotting skills are very weak is more than evident in this book.
Anthony fans should read it for themselves and see if they find what they like about his other work. This series may well appeal to readers who never liked Xanth much, but do like Anthony as a writer. Parents should beware-- other Anthony books are very suitable for pre-teens and teenagers. This series is much different. There is a fair amount of very explicit sex and very adult situations which would be difficult for a younger reader to understand.

If you meditate..........2002-12-28
If you experience odd things when you meditate, or meet beings that are totally out of this world, this book is for you. It explains alot and makes you feel that you are not alone in your journey through the underworld.
Journey to Hell and Back..........2002-12-12
Words are completely inadequate to describe the horror of the experience described by Mr Mann in this book. That human beings are capable of such cruel acts of senseless violence, that we have not yet evolved past such futile, disempowered expressions of rage and envy numbs the mind. What is truly extraordinary is that rather than be crushed by the calamities which befall him, Mr Mann emerges spiritually transformed and able to embrace the world as a radiant, whole being. Having been honored to work with him briefly, I can attest to the truth of this astonishing triumph. Where most of us might be filled with hate and bitterness, Mr Mann remains generous and deeply engaged in the welfare of the world around him. His story is miraculous, but the true wonder is that as we read, we come to know this potential within ourselves. A harrowing, inspiring and deeply moving book.

A moving look into one man's spiritual journey.......1999-10-18
This book is part diary, part commentary on the author's spiritual journey. The conditions of the Turkish prison forced him to come to terms with himself, his beliefs, his fellow human beings. He saw terrible things and endured some terrible situations, but he got through it all with his humanity and spirit intact, one might even say improved.
For those who like to have a story behind their spirituality, you will not be disappointed. The author details what was happening around him at each stage of his spiritual awakening. He doesn't hold anything back, you get a very intimate look at his life.
I recommend this book to anyone who's looking to make peace with their shadow self, or who thinks their life is too awful to go on. The author's journey can give you inspiration and hope.
tremendously insightful and powerfully articulated.......1998-10-31
Nick Mann is the master at exposing the dark forces of the underworld/humanity. His vivid description and direct knowledge demonstrate his luminous understanding in the realm of magic.
