Science of the Sacraments by Charles Leadbeater
This would be the best book available that describes the actual spiritual events that occur during the Eucharist. Charles Leadbeater was one of the most brilliant clairvoyants at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, and he accurately records all he sees during the performing of the Mass. The accuracy of this book has been vouched for by so many other psychics, (including some of the present Australian Church of Antioch Clergy), and they join in with the others to commend the quality of this work.
One minor statement about women's ability to be celebrants that Leadbeater made in this book, is no longer relevant, and Leadbeater did himself acknowledge that this information would in the very near future be redundant.   This has proved to come true with the Church of Antioch USA. and Australia both having gained true lines of female succession in 1987 that are perfectly in balance with the male.
Available through all theosophical bookshops.
Please be aware that the new editions have deleted the section on the robes, croziers, etc. For information on these, contact us for a copy of this section from the old edition.

Gerald Gardner and the Cauldron of Inspiration by Philip Heselton
Gerald Gardner is a fully initiated witch who was also a priest in the lineage of a church that was to become the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch. His Apostolic lines are genuine and cannot be disputed. This book shows that "GENUINE" witchcraft and Christianity CAN be harmonious. Now so many of the myths of evil witches ( Witch actually meaning Wise woman) can be put to bed as simply the imagination of Hollywood, or fear based ignorant primitives.
ISBN 1861631642

Also recommended is the book by Philip Heselton's that was the fore-runner to this book --- "WICCAN ROOTS".
Both books are available at Capall Bann Publishing U.K.

Did You Know

DID YOU KNOW

Did you know that Joseph of Arimithea (the uncle of Jesus) was a billionaire, and the rest of the family were very rich also? Such fallacies as the family being poor are lies created by the Church fathers to try and make Jesus look more mysterious. There is much evidence to this fact within the bible if one cares to look.

Reincarnation for Christians by Mons Jack Sweeley.
Herein one can see evidence from Early Christian and Jewish Mystical Tradition. Reincarnation was an accepted belief by the great minds of antiquity. In Greece Plato was influenced by earlier classical Greek philosophers such as Pythagoras (sixth century BCE), while reincarnation was both believed and taught by Jesus and many Church Fathers through the eighth century, as well as in Hebrew texts and mystical traditions throughout the Middle Ages.

In Reincarnation for Christians, Monsignor Sweeley proves that reincarnation was accepted by Jesus according to Holy Scripture, was accepted and taught by the Church Fathers as a doctrine of the faith, and is believed today by many Christians. Moreover, he makes clear why there is no conflict between the atonement of Jesus and Jesus as the redeemer of humanity, with the necessity of living many lives before we attain salvation.
“In this timely book about reincarnation and the Christian tradition, Monsignor Sweeley gives us an eye-opening look into an issue that has been long ignored by mainstream Christian churches.”- Most Rev. Alan R. Kemp, D.Min. CEO, The Ascension Alliance

Marriage of Likeness by John Boswell
This book reveals the truth about the attitude of the Mainstream Churches to Homosexual, Bisexual and Lesbian marriages up until the 15th century. Listed within are several of the rituals and services of marriage for these three groups of people within the Anglican, Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. At this time there was little if any bigotry about what we call GAY people. This shows how often society, not religion changes the opinions of the church, when the church should be upholding the truth and showing compassion and understanding.

When Women Were Priests by Karen Jo Torjesen
Some facts about when women were priests in the Roman Church long before they were outlawed by a misogynistic Pope in the fifth century AD. This outlines the lies of the Church to hide these facts that are now coming to the fore with the discovery of more ancient texts revealing the presence of Women in the clergy roles.

The Cosmic Human Yo Yo by Archbishop Frank Bugge
This book describes the principles of Re-incarnation and also lists just a few of the many incarnations of Archbishop Frank Bugge going back through Atlantis, ancient Egypt and other places, to even further beyond any recorded history. It also gives a chart of exactly where the Soul lies in our divine being of our Spiritual consciousness. There are several brief descriptions of the time spent between incarnations, and an overall description of the full process. As one reads through this book, you will get the feelings and the reactions of changing genders as we change from lifetime to lifetime. Also there is much of the visions during these lifetimes that will certainly NOT concur with history. The author contends that many are the assumptions of the academics that are convenient to fit their limited facts, and therefore many are the mistakes they have settled on and accepted. One very wise man once said --- "HISTORY IS THE LIE THAT ALL GOVERNMENTS OF THE DAY AGREE UPON.
The Author states "I have no doubt that most of the academics will surely not agree on this and condemn this statement, but in the words of Pontius Pilate --- What I have written I have written.
