Great book, with instructionals from old times about how to make your own eg moccasin patterns, making fires, identifying animal tracks, etc Makes me want to live in the 's again laughing.

Nov 04, Michael McCue rated it it was amazing. The best ever book about nature, outdoors, woods crafts, Native American crafts, wild foods ect.

A bit like another of my favorites, Two Little Savages by Ernest Thompson Seton but more detailed on how to actually do things. Someday I will actually make the Kentucky Burgoo Stew in a cast iron pot over an open fire outdoors. I think I will probably never make the moose hock moccasins though. Mar 03, Avis Black rated it really liked it. This is sort of a boy's-own-guide to the outdoors, but the author goes way beyond the usual book of this type with his countless explanations and illustrations, and Wildwood Wisdom is something of a classic.

This includes 54 symbolic colour plates, foldouts and an overlay as well as black and white illustrations, an extensive bibliography and complete index.

ISBN X. ISBN Wilder Publications Softcover, pp. Ralph Waldo Trine presents the eternal Spiritual and material truths of Life in a clear and simple manner which all can understand. It requires no great intellect or education to apply the very simple laws which he so beautifully reveals in this inspired book. In the degree that you do so you will change sadness into joy, failure into success and weakness into strength.

Although claimed by many as a pioneer of 'New Age' teaching, there is nothing in Trine's message that was not known and taught thousands of years ago. We hear the same truths from the immortal lips of inspired teachers like Jesus, Buddha and Krishna. Trine's great accomplishment was to re-state these truths in simple words that even a child can understand and to make them accessible to millions.

This is no accident; for the truth is always simple if we are simple enough to recognise it when it is presented to us. Sadly, so many seekers desire mystery, glamour and complexity. Such will turn away from the simplicity of this book. But the simple in mind and heart will recognise the Truth within its luminous pages. It will remind them in no uncertain manner that the keys to health, happiness and success are to be found within and not without.

The pessimist is right. The one differs from the other as the light from the dark. Yet both are right. Each is right from their own particular point of view, and this point of view is the determining factor in the life of each. It determines as to whether it is a life of power or of impotence How true these words are! Do we not all know seekers whose 'glass is always half-empty'? And is it not also true that such people often live lives of sorrow, confusion, ill-health and failure?

But it needn't be like this. In US lies the power to change our own individual lives for the better. And in the degree that we do so we shall change the lives of others around us and the world in general. This is the simple way to bring peace and light into this sorely-troubled world. It needs no 'occult powers' nor special training to do so.

You can find a series of short extracts from In Tune with the Infinite in the afterword to our article on the law of attraction. This most unusual book takes the reader on a remarkable mental journey through the Zodiacal constellations and signs. Many people confuse the Zodiacal signs with the constellations of the same name, but they are not the same, as this book makes clear.

As we discuss in our article on the Art and Science of Astrology, modern Astrology has been largely stripped of astronomy and the esoteric, or hidden meaning of the stars and constellations, without which the important messages they have for us cannot be read or understood.

The Song of Laughing Boy does much to redress this regrettable omission by providing the intuitive reader with many valuable clues to the great occult truths concealed within the scroll of the starry firmament. As such the book should appeal to serious esoteric astrologers as well as truth-seekers of all kinds who wish to uncover the hidden meaning of the many myths and legends that have been woven around the major stars and constellations.

Although the author does not tell us who the 'Laughing Boy' of the title is, the judicious reader will realise who and what he is referring to. Whether we call him Horus, or Christ or Krishna his holy message of light, laughter and joy is universal. It has rung forth in every age and among every people on earth, calling all those who long for liberation home.

The sacred mythology of the constellations and stars describes the stages in that journey. A journey we are all engaged upon, whether we realise it or not. Each Zodiacal constellation and sign corresponds to one of these stages as well as to certain principles in man, especially to the Higher and lower self and their conjoint evolution. The constellations also symbolise certain points on the homeward way, as well as different occult laws and their activity in man and Kosmos.

The stars are a mystic scroll, a Heavenly book, within which the Initiate beholds the secrets of God and Man. Even if we are not initiates, this strange little book can be of immense value to the thinking seeker, shedding light on many a mystery, both in his inner as well as his outer life, and this is the principal reason we heartily recommend it. Penguin books Re-printed by Penguin Classics The Upanishads have rightly been described as the 'Himalayas of the Soul' and we regard this selection from them by Juan Mascaro as the finest and most accurate translations ever rendered into English.

Readers who are unfamiliar with these sublime spiritual treatises on Man, God and the Universe are advised to read our abstract adapted from the translator's introduction to the book. Born in Majorca of Spanish parents in , Juan Mascaro's own search for Truth began at the tender age of 13 when he studied a book on occultism.

This led to his discovery of an inferior English translation of the Bhagavad Gita which inspired him to learn Sanskrit by himself. He went on to study and teach at Cambridge University, in England, where he lectured on the spiritual values in the Bible and Spanish mysticism. He died in Cambridge in at the ripe old age of 90, having left the world some of the finest translations of the sacred texts of Hinduism ever written.

Rabindranath Tagore, the famous Bengali poet wrote in a letter to Mascaro that he had 'caught from those great words the inner voice that goes beyond the boundaries of words.

For this is an occult book in the best and highest sense of that much misunderstood word, which contains some of the most elevated spiritual truths ever composed by the hand of man. The Ratcatcher Full Member.

Apr 3, 0 Manchester, UK. Hi, Duncan Try Project Gutenberg, www. They have some really good outdoors books. RockerBilly New Member. Jan 17, 1 0 nowhere, I travel www. There is a copy online that you can browse on google books, but I warn you, it only contains about half the book, but theres still some pretty useful information in it.

Probably my all time favourite book. It taught me how to live when I was 16 and left my parents behind. One time when I was 18 I was driving home one night through the woods in Oregon and hit a deer in the head with my car I tried to stop but it was too late. So rather than let the body rot on the side of the road, I took it home, and managed to figure out how to skin it, butcher it, use the brain to tan it's hide with the fur on , make tools out of its bones, AND how to cook tasty dinners for me and my housemates, with the meat.

All because of this book. I learned everything I know from Wildwood Wisdom. Bear in mind though, it is more suited to "bushcraft" in North America than the UK. But the Pacific Northwest has almost the exact same climate as the UK so all of it is useful needless to say very interesting in one way or another.
