 | Kaostar! - This book is timely, in that there has existed for some time a need for balance in the expression of what magic is about, balance with the overarching fluffiness and ‘do-anything-as-long-as-it-is-white-light’ of modern paganism. ‘Harm None’ Wiccans will hate this- indeed, one who saw the initial manuscript called it‘simply monstrous’, and left. Available as a paperback now.

Uncle Ramsey's Little Book of Demons
In
his own inimitable style Ramsey Dukes takes us through the advantages
and dangers of hobnobbing with demons. However for him demons are very
much our own creations; life's problems and challenges personified and
given form. We can either be their slaves or strike bargains and get
back into the driving seat.
With his characteristic wit and wisdom, Uncle Ramsey
takes us on a roller coaster ride through our own subconscious in a
sustained effort for us to accept and negotiate with life's challenges.
Ramsey Dukes combines a dry and self-depreciating style with an
in-depth analysis of how these complexes are formed and manifest
themselves, and how by acknowledging them we can not only come to terms
with or inner demons but also use them to our advantage.
Topics covered include: An introduction to demons, personal demons, other peoples demons, and society's demons.
