Written by an ex-banker with more than 30 years experience, this jargon-free book addresses the questions people have about today's uncertain and changing world.

Ralph Harvey is the head of The Order of Artemis, which in itself encompasses over 200 Traditional Wiccan covens worldwide, following "The old Religion", or Witchcraft in its original form. "An' ye harm none..." is the underlying principle, with absolutely no "black magic" or satanic connections. Ralph is a repository of witchcraft research in its purest, origianl form, and the book describes the history of Witchcraft, its suppression and re-emergence, with specific emphasis on Sussex - the last bastion of Witchcraft in England, and the first to re-emerge after the repeal of the Witchcraft Act in 1951. This is not the kind of modern spellcasting book that many New Age people have jumped into, but the original roots and ways of the Old Religion - as it was, and still is - in the community of serious, traditional witches.

Diabetes is an incredibly misunderstood affliction - by many diabetics themselves, and even by most people in the medical profession, unless they have been specifically trained. There's far more to consider than just avoiding sugar in your diet. This is an incurable ailment, but much can be done to alleviate and sometimes even avoid most of its effects. The author comes from a diabetic family background and has been a diet-controlled diabetic herself for many years. This book covers her personal experience with and research into the subject - covering mainly type 2 diabetes, but with much valuable insight into type 1 and the more recently discovered type 1.5! Sasha has written a wide range of Mind, Body & Spirit books and lectured all over the world, but this may be her most vitally useful book yet. In the UK, about 26,000 people die from diabetic-related ailments or complications each year, and the incidence of diabetes is on the increase, especially in line with increasing obesity in younger people. In the USA, about 24 million people or 8 percent of the population are diagnosed diabetics (2million in the UK), while a great number of people are actually unaware of their condition. It's never too soon to start changing and improving one's life as a diabetic, as even "mild" diabetes won't stay long that way if ignored.

The Moon sign in astrology reveals the hidden inner aspect of your nature and it often shows why you react as you do when trouble strikes or when your instincts kick in · The Moon sign connects to mother figures, motherhood and females in your circle · The Moon sign explains why your emotions and inner feelings and desires may be different from your Sun sign or some other part of your astrological profile · The Moon relates to property, premises and domestic matters of all kinds The position of the Moon in our birth chart affects our deepest requirements, and our innermost needs. It governs our unconscious motivations, our habits and the way we react to others, so it often influences the way we succeed or fail in relationships. It dominates our home and family life and even our attitude to food and drink. It has a historical feel, in that it can reveal something about your family history and your unconscious beliefs. Sasha Fenton's Moon Signs contains everything you need to locate your own natal Moon position, and even to use predictive techniques such as transits and progressions, and all this without needing any other astrological equipment at all.

The Rising sign in astrology reveals the way your childhood experiences and programming have affected you and your mentality · This book includes an easy to use Rising sign table that allows you to find your Rising sign at a glance · The Sun sign and Rising sign affect your outer manner, the way you approach the world, your mind and the way you think and act · The Midheaven in astrology is linked to the Rising sign, and this book shows how they work in tandem The Rising sign throws light on the way we present ourselves to others, and this is partly due to nature but also to the programming that we receive in childhood and youth. Our career choices, partnership requirements, mental and spiritual interests and general behaviour are greatly influenced by our Rising sign. It modifies our appearance and it can take us into situations and places in our lives that the Sun sign alone would not. The Midheaven shows our aims and ambitions – even when we aren't really aware of what's driving us and why we choose the directions in life that we do. Sasha has replaced about a third of her original book, introducing new material within existing chapters and adding several new chapters, especially focusing on the Midheaven and the way it works with the Rising sign. This is due to the fact that she has never stopped learning about astrology and people as the years go by.

The book describes the nature of each planet and demonstrates the way that each one plays out in a birth chart, through the Signs and Houses. Sasha uniquely presents the groups of Personal, Transpersonal and Impersonal planets, in addition to dwarf planets and several important asteroids, even showing how the aspects formed between planets enhance or diminish their action in a natal chart.

Her reputation for teaching the world how to use astrology and allied subjects for over three decades is well deserved.
