For those of you who enjoyed the previous Pratum Book Company catalog in partnership with Fields Book Store, we have a treat for you. We've just issued Catalog 86! By popular demand, this catalog of rare, out-of-print, and unusual titles features a lot more alchemy and magic, and many other treasures. It contains both modern rarities and true antiquarian titles. You can browse the titles of Catalog 86 on our web site, or download the whole catalog as a PDF document for review, printing or markup . This catalog is available exclusively through Fields. Note: This catalog will be issued electronically only.

And, if you happened to miss the previous Pratum Catalog 85, there are still some gems to be found there, now at 30% off the listed price. The discount will not show in your shopping cart, but will be applied when the books are charged and shipped. (The optional insurance will be reduced accordingly as well for the discounted titles.) You can browse Catalog 85 through our web site, or download it as a PDF for markup at your leisure.

Fields Book Store also recently issued a catalog of Aleister Crowley, Kenneth Grant, witchcraft, magic, and voodoo titles which is well worth a look. There are many rare titles in pristine condition.

Just Say Gnosis

For nearly 15 years, Gnosis Magazine was the world's leading journal covering the field of esoteric and mystical traditions, with particular emphasis on the Western mysteries. Now, through a special arrangement with the Lumen Foundation, Fields is pleased to be the exclusive source for back issues of this legendary magazine. Because each issue focused on a different topic of the Western "inner traditions," a full set of all 51 issues constitutes a virtual encyclopedia of esoterica. Gnosis showcased the best writers and scholars in the field, and each issue featured a probing interview with a leading thinker such as Huston Smith, June Singer, Karen Armstrong, Jacob Needleman, Robert Anton Wilson, and many others. Best of all, Gnosis issues barely date at all, due to the timeless nature of the material.

Wisdom at Work in the World

Begin with your body. In Touching Enlightenment, Reginald Ray guides you back to the original practice of the Buddha, bringing an end to fruitless mental gymnastics and grounding profound awareness in your physical being. Living Deeply builds on 35 years of research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, chronicling stories and methods of positive transformation in paths both mystic and mundane. John Daido Loori brings Zen off the cushion and into the world with the practice of Zen's ethical precepts, in Invoking Reality. The pithy, compassionate writings of the Desert Fathers and Mothers show that our relationship with others is Where God Happens. Joanna Macy's classic of engaged Buddhism, World as Lover, World as Self, comes forth in a new edition. And Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus shows how microcredit (small, community-based lending) transforms lives in the bestseller Creating a World Without Poverty.

Magical Arrivals
