All Hallow's Eve Oracle
A vibrant book and card deck set that weaves the myth and magic of All Hallow’s Eve with the healing energy of light language. The All Hallow’s Eve Oracle is a grimoire-like journey into the mysteries of the sacred feminine, illuminated by our own light essence. It invites practitioners to shift perspectives, challenge narratives, rewrite stories, and reconnect with their inner voice—reinterpreting symbolism for themselves. This dynamic book and deck collection features legends and myths that expand our perceptions, traversing into the liminal and light language that guides us beyond the linear mind into deep intuitive connection. Magical elements weave lyrical dreaming through vivid symbolism, flowering into an ultra-sensory flow with light language, bridging to the limitless creative potentials of our multidimensionality. Designed as a grimoire, the guidebook weaves myths with enchantment, each entry reading like a spell. The full-color cards, layered with symbolism, bypass the analytical mind to awaken deep wisdom. Together, they bridge ancient customs with galactic spirituality, encouraging receptivity, fluidity, and intuitive remembrance. Words Have Magic: the poetry for each card can be cast as a spell to draw the reader deeper into the cards they represent, whether an animal spirit guide, a divination tool, or an elemental omen, allowing the reader to form a personal relationship with each of the cards and what they representCreative Concept: this deck is a synthesis of ancient mythology across different cultures and ages and the galactic myths we are now discovering as we remember more of our connection to the cosmosLight Language: Each card comes with its own channeled light language, a quantum link to the language of the stars. Light language is a nonlinear expression, which allows us to bypass the limits of the monkey chatter of our mental confines and tap into our more intuitive (sacred femininity) and multisensory connection to the wider universe

Ghosts of the Night
No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl. These remarkable creatures are both among and apart from us: sharing the same environments but carrying a sense of mystique as they beat their wings low over the fields where they hunt, or swoop up and around to their nest, high in a tree or haystack. There is something ethereal, awe- and fear-inspiring about the appearance and movement of these birds: graceful, distinctive, almost otherworldly. It is not hard to see why observers long ago watched the owl and deemed it a visitor from another place, with either a great or terrible message to impart. Every encounter with an owl is special, somehow new, and stands alone even as it helps you to understand patterns and connections. The silent approach of a white Barn Owl angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo of the Tawny owl is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Chris Sperring is the acknowleged expert and he explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.

Hare
In the Encounters in the Wild series, renowned nature writer Jim Crumley gets up close and personal with British wildlife. With his inimitable passion and vision, he relives memorable encounters with some of our best-loved native species, offering intimate insights into their extraordinary lives. “The moon climbed high above the trees beyond the far side of the field, contriving a night of raw, primitive beauty out of the still-lingering wisps of mist, the pale, tumbling curves of field, the parallel inked-in blue-black curves of the hedges, the quiet and surprisingly pale shades of the distant firth. Tawny owls stabbed at the darkness with sharp, two-syllable shrieks. Then there was a hare, far down the field. It ran easily out into the moonlight from the hedge on the far side and at once it was partnered in dance by its own giant shadow.”
Big Guy
Big Guy tells the story of Marcus Redwood, widely known as the UK's most notorious nightclub doorman. Over a career spanning around 40 years, he had an estimated 3,000 fights on the doors of clubs and pubs in Southern England, and knocked out approximately 1,000 men, never losing in a one-on-one confrontation throughout his entire door work. Growing up on a small farm near the seaside town of Ramsgate, Marcus was subjected to vicious bullying at every school he attended. Angry and frustrated by the violence and intimidation he endured, he eventually resolved never to be bullied again and took up boxing. After his first unofficial door work for the landlord of his local pub when he was 16 (in return for free beer), his formal door security work started at age 18 - no training, uniforms, radios or metal detectors. He worked during the day cutting down trees for the local council, and at night on the doors of clubs and pubs. He was 6ft2ins and weighed 19.5 stone in his prime. Guns and knives were an ever-present danger to Marcus. Troublemakers who were thrown out of clubs often threatened to return with guns or knives; and some actually did. A stranger thrown out of a club might be a gangster or part of a gangster family. There was always a risk of revenge and retribution. Marcus was the target of London hitmen outside his home, who tried to shoot and kill him. Well-known underworld friends and acquaintances during Marcus's career included the Kray twins, Freddie Foreman, Frankie Fraser and the 'celebrity gangster' Dave Courtney. Looking back on his 40-year career on the doors, Marcus has not only been involved in thousands of fights, but he has also seen the best and worst of the club world, and even the tragic loss of life. He worked with some of the very best and very worst doormen. He has escaped death. His life story is not only fascinating and entertaining; it is an inspirational story of persistence battling against all the odds and living to tell the tale.
