No matter who, where or what we are, getting in touch with our true selves is not as straightforward as we'd like. However, our paths through self-discovery needn't be trodden alone. At Cygnus we want to help you on that path but also assist and encourage you to develop a sense of community and oneness with everything around us.

There are so many issues that we carry with us that we wish we could find a way to leave behind aren’t there? Mandy Morris is a highly respected manifester who is living proof of the success of the “secrets” she lays out in this new book, techniques she developed after a very difficult start to life and which she attributes to a combination of divine guidance, scientific research and a decade of work. Her success is very alluring - if she can, we can - and her tone is warm and encouraging. From shedding our defeatist thoughts and feelings then following the 8 secret techniques one by one, the clear and bright book carefully guides us through to manifesting ourselves into the amazing people we are.

This is a book about ageing. It’s not prescriptive: it does have some practices but they are integrated into the text. It’s mostly full of stories that are there to encourage us and to comfort us, about our own ageing and dying and about it happening to others we love. Likewise the author - a popular Buddhist teacher who is in her seventies - writes about her own ageing and about the ageing of people she has known, like her Zen teacher and her friend Jenny who has Lewy Body dementia. Every story is told with great humour and compassion and I am convinced that this book can be enjoyed by anybody, of any age. The author has no theory to outline or anything to convince us of. There is also no overt narrative: every chapter is an essay (the subtitle of the book is Notes on the Home Stretch which pretty much sums it up). Chapters include We Will Be Ancestors Too and Meeting the Final Deadline.

Bestselling author Matt Kahn’s latest book, written in the depths of lockdown and a miserable world crisis, addresses our constant hope that there is a way for the human race to get on, both at a global level and an individual one. Here he works through the transformative power of ‘holding space’ or the ability to be empathetic to another person’s situation and allowing them to share whatever they need to in a supportive and non-judgemental way. The book is a guide, following ten essential principles to help us access loving qualities within ourselves and those around us using real world examples. It makes you want to dive in and give it a go, but the author does remind us that we don’t become experts overnight, and to keep practising until we perfect the technique and can help others do so too.

There are full-page illustrations in gold and plenty of space to set intentions for each month. It brings lunar wisdom into your day to day, with life-coaching tools and tips each week.

I love this mini-deck. It’s full colour and contains 40 cards. The cards are about the size of business cards, except a bit longer. There is an image on one side and then a short inspiring statement or affirmation on the other. All the images are related to Glastonbury or to the Arthurian set of stories. The images are quite naïve but still beautiful and they really carry the energy of Avalon with them. You do feel as if the wise women of Avalon, like Morgan le Fay or The Lady of the Lake are gently guiding you through these cards. The inspiring messages on the front are normally related to the image on the back. Images include a woman over a cauldron, a unicorn, a crow, standing stones, a king, dragons and the Tor. The deck is so small you can take it everywhere with you and either get guidance whenever you need it, or get a little boost of enchantment in the midst of a drab day.

Martin is an experienced teacher within the Buddhist tradition. He was a colleague and teacher of Gemma Polo Pujol, author of There is Light and Only Light, a popular Cygnus title. We are battered by distractions and pressures and we can feel drawn away from what feels like a more real life. Embodied awareness is the key to finding a way of coping and even enjoying ourselves - through truly being in our body. Martin gives us guidance on how to get there and the book is full of exercises and reflections. It’s not a book on how to meditate but instead a very experienced teacher Buddhist teacher is showing us how to be when we are off the cushion. There’s praise from Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach and Sharon Salzberg on the cover - you can’t get better than that!

This excellent self-help deck was created by a psychologist and yoga teacher with over 28 years of clinical experience. It’s a bit different in that there are a lot of words on each card and no illustrations at all, but the guidance is comprehensive and always practical. On one side is a simple teaching on self-compassion with a slogan or affirmation at the bottom and on the other side is a practical exercise you can use to help you with the issue or task. The themes include Working With Disappointments, When Self-Compassion Meets Doubt and A Practice of Integrity. There are 52 cards so you can work through the deck focussing on one lesson every week, or you can dwell on a particular card for as long as you feel you need to. Because these are cards and not a book, you can move more quickly on your path of transformation and maybe even the process will be fun.

This book can be enjoyed by regular yoga practitioners and those new to yoga and meditation alike. It’s not really a book on the poses, on Hatha Yoga. Beautifully written and structured, you are quickly drawn into meditative techniques carefully designed to help you manage daily challenges, release tension and gain inner peace amidst the clamour of our busy, emotionally charged lives. The author, who is herself both a practitioner and a teacher, uses clear, step-by-step instructions on breathing techniques, focus and visualisations and they’re really easy to follow. She also shares her own experiences and thoughts on the importance of true peace and finding love and happiness, and has managed to paint a complete picture of both spiritual and practical yoga that is a joy to read and try out.

Naomi is the author of the recently re-issued Watkins Book of Tarot as well as the classic Aquarian Qabalah, and she also runs her own mystery school. Behind both tarot and Qabalah are the Egyptian Mysteries, which are still being uncovered and researched. There are very few practical books on Ancient Egyptian spiritual practices and this one is written by an insider, by a Priestess of Isis, the great goddess at the heart of the tradition who manifested in many forms across the ancient world. She describes in clear terms a nine stage path for initiation into this tradition; it’s an exciting path including personal accounts of connection to Kemet, and a lot of teaching around the actual practices they followed and the history of that great civilization. It’s a demanding but practical book that offers the potential for profound self-realisation.

The subtitle is Conversations with the Soul of my Sister Ajra and the book is a dialogue between two sisters separated by death. As you can guess from the name, they are both daughters of the renowned geomancer, author and energy worker Marko Pogacnik. Ajra died young, in her forties; the sisters had both been on the spiritual path so when Arja passed, Ana decided to make contact with her and the results were almost instantaneous. She comes through as spontaneous thoughts which Ana is quick to put on the page. The book is full of amazing description and guidance on making the transition from one state to the other. It’s encouraging and uplifting and the information is of course immensely helpful. It’s also good to hear this when the world seems so demanding and unfriendly.

The Enneagram offers a systematic approach to understanding people, and millions have found it helpful. By concentrating on parenting, the author is using the Enneagram for a specific set of problems, and it lends itself really well to this. Not that it is easy! When finding out which personality type you are, you need to be able to roll with the punches. It’s also quite easy to pop yourself or your children firmly in a type without really thinking about it, so you have to be thorough in your preparation. But this will help you understand yourself and them including your triggers and theirs. The author came to the Enneagram quite late but uses the perspective of “‘if only I’d known” rather well, so this makes for an interesting read even if your children have grown up!

The author of Bringing Back the Beaver returns with more stories about his attempts to turn his Devon farm into a wildlife breeding centre. From water vole to beaver and wild cat to white stork, he has embarked on a (sometimes) one-person quest to rewild our countryside with endangered species. His stories are funny and amazing and he always has the grace to defer to the animals and let them take centre-stage. He has even done the illustrations of the beautiful creatures he has worked with. It’s utterly uplifting and should inspire us to do what we can too to shepherd and encourage all life. He is described on many occasions as a modern-day Gerald Durrell and is praised fulsomely by people as diverse as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Stanley Johnson. On top of it all he is a good writer and his description at the start of European Bison is deeply moving.

Follow the path to self-knowledge and strengthen your individuality so that you can heal yourself. It’s easy to write, but less easy to actually do, and this book provides a valuable tool to use to help you on your way. It is accessible, each chapter is short and concise, and instructional, with several meditations included to assist with the challenges laid out in the book. The author reminds us that we need to face up to trauma and his book helps us do this. It also includes surprising perspectives arising from the author’s own personal experiences which give context to the advice he is offering and leave you feeling optimistic that you too can get a long way down the path to personal development.

Another book on the Covid phenomenon? Yes, but I think that we need to put these books out there and keep the debate going. Charles Eisenstein is a very trusted writer and activist who focuses on the environment and culture in general. Here he puts forward essays he has written from March 2016 till December 2021, and has added contemporary comments on what he wrote and what the reaction was. He looks at how society has reacted to the crisis and he has gradually become more horrified about the scapegoating of nonconformity and the disintegration of the “old normal”. His account is fascinating and thought-provoking. More than anything he is in a good position to illuminate where we might go from here, in a positive sense. Humanity isn’t unaffected and we clearly aren’t going back to the way things were. We need books like this to build back stronger.

If you are looking for your life’s purpose and are up for a little help along the way when trying to find it, then this is the book for you! Kathryn Hudson has a light, almost playful tone and manages to describe both how to find your mission in life and connect with angels as you do so without making it all sound too difficult. This detailed yet conversational guide includes stories and teachings alongside approachable exercises, all designed to build-up a 12 month “mission manifestation plan” which will help us understand our life’s purpose. And while Kathryn doesn’t expect you to contact or even believe in angels, her light touch encourages you to try to do both from the outset. You’ll enjoy reading this book and should come out feeling like you’re finally on the right path.

It’s natural to want to understand the meaning of dreams but have you ever considered actively learning from them? The author has studied the history of dreaming throughout the world and here explains the ancient art of dream incubation which encourages you to ask a question of a dream before you go to sleep. He has developed a five-step method as follows: decide what you want to ask; come up with the question itself; meditate on your issue before going to sleep; record the dream as soon as you’ve had it; and finally reflect on the dream to understand its response. Illustrated with real-life examples, the author gives us the how-to and the why, plus the history of the technique in a clear and comprehensible way. A good read before you go to bed…

Gary is an experienced and prolific expert in the esoteric and occult worlds. He has written books about Madame Blavatsky, Swedenborg, Jung and Ouspensky, among others. This is a straightforward and easy-to-understand account of precognitive dreams, both famous and personal ones. Gary used to be in the band Blondie and his experience in this field lead him to write their classic song (I am Always Touched by Your) Presence Dear back in the late seventies. He of course discusses some of the experts in this field like Jung, William James and JW Dunne, author of Experiments In Time. The book becomes especially interesting when he starts to consider how precognitive dreaming might work, despite the fact that it should be impossible. Perhaps time does not always flow in just one direction? This is a truly informative and enjoyable book.

This isn’t a new deck but I really love it. As someone who is learning about plants and herbs, I welcome a deck that is built around their magic and their powers. There are 36 cards and the book is in full colour which helps a lot. They are designed to look like medieval illuminated manuscripts and written in beautiful script with colourful borders and images of enigmatic priestesses and wise women. Each card is based around one plant, be it cinnamon, rowan, dog rose or elder, but the cards also have names like Abundance, Divination, Good Fortune, Prosperity and Ritual. So they can be used for divination; however the book also contains a lot of plant lore and talks you through some of the wild and fascinating imagery on the cards. The subtitle of the deck is Medieval Hedgewitch Magick and I think more than anything it’s a great guide and inspiration for anyone on the gentler kitchen magic path.

Please forgive me for including this book, but it’s one that I commissioned myself for Watkins Publishing. Stephen is an incredible art curator and he wrote a previous Cygnus title called All Good Things, and Mat is a founding member of the rock band Suede. Sorry also to all members who aren’t resident in England, but it’s about what England might be, about how it expresses itself through art, culture and mysticism, and about what the people who live here - whether they were born here or have come later in their life - have contributed to the visionary fabric of this country. Stephen has selected some amazing images from photography, painting and drawing plus pictures of masks, sculptures and folk costumes and placed them before us with little comment, so that we can gather a sense of who we are and what is best about this country, free from hollow statements.

If you are carrying burdens of insecurity, perceived failure, buried secrets, trauma or anything you blame yourself for or worry about, then you are not alone. It’s always refreshing to have a new perspective on handling these troubles and this is the aim of this book, which very much comes from the Jungian tradition. Dr LaPrade describes the issues that we hang on to as our “underworld” before giving us tools to tackle them, to become our own mythical heroes if you like. She also argues that these dark experiences are natural, and in some sense necessary, because they form markers along the path of growth and discovery; without them we won’t know what it is that we need to transform in ourselves. This book is a comprehensive and accessible guide to managing our lives, pulling from ancient myths and heroes to help us to tackle, learn and move on from the many difficulties we experience during our lifetime. It makes for a reassuring read.

While the named Saints in this book are usually associated with Christianity, the author reminds us that they are of course universal in their powers of assistance and will come to the aid of anyone who calls on them. In this short and accessible book she shares 15 modern and updated prayers to be used to support healing for specific ailments or issues, from broken bones to back pain and allergies. Alongside the prayers, the author also recommends a healing stone that can be added to further enhance the effect, gives short biographies of each saint and details how to access their powers of healing and protection through writing out and reciting their specific prayers during the full moon. It’s easy to work with and promises amazing outcomes.

It’s been a while since there has been a new book from Tanis and I am pleased to say that this is exactly in her usual style, being very humorous and light while also dealing with all the big issues. Henry is her “body intelligence” or “body elemental” and the book is her dialogue with this inner voice whose destiny is to guide her into a place of understanding and then healing. There is much at the moment about somatic work and feelings that are embedded in the body but this is the first time the material has manifested in this way via a voice within. In these tricky times we need this exceptional guidance and the dialogue recognizes that for many of us this is a Dark Night of the Soul. That’s how the book is so effective, because it’s framed in a fun way while dealing with difficult issues. It also contains a final section on healing specific conditions and parts of the body.

This may sound like slightly esoteric subject matter, but it’s not - this is simply a comprehensive guide to healing plants which also includes accounts of their earliest uses all the way back to Ancient Greece. There is a fascinating introduction describing how many of these plants played a role in Greek myths, and reminds us that some of our plants are actually named after characters in these ancient stories. Think of Achillea and Artemesia (Achilles and Artemis of course!) to name just two. The book goes on to describe each of the main healing plants detailing botanical information, healing properties and how to use the plant, alongside illuminating background information about how each plant was featured in Greek myths, how it came to be adopted in early Greek medicine and onwards to the present day. The plant directory is also illustrated with pretty line drawings which really bring the book to life.

Eating dirt isn’t something that sounds very wise, but this book tells us that far from being bad for you, it’s actually the reverse. The author, who found out about the health benefits of clay when ill himself, is a persuasive proponent and has gathered a lot of evidence to support this belief. He tells us that more than 200 cultures worldwide eat clay on a daily basis to aid digestion and overall well being, and cites many clinical studies that have proved that clay has multiple uses from counteracting poison to providing mineral supplements. Clay can also detoxify the body, it has antibacterial and antiviral effects and is used to treat some gastrointestinal conditions. This book is a thorough examination of the science of clay, its importance in some religious rituals and all its proven practical uses, and leaves you in no doubt that clay is well worth trying.

We should all have a copy of this book! And don’t worry, it’s not a list of challenging facts and figures, nor does it preach; rather, it is a practical, easy to use and comprehensive guide to everything we can do individually to help the environmental crisis. We all know what is happening and it is easy to assume that our small efforts are not going to have much effect. However, as this book makes clear, this is absolutely not the case - if all of us do what we can, it will make a massive difference. The advice given in the book covers all aspects of our lives, from cooking and washing to travelling and eating out, and from small changes to bigger ones, so there’s plenty of things that you can do from page one that will make an immediate impact. And to cap it all, many of the changes that we make will also save us money, an added incentive if any were needed!

The subtitle of the book is “Safely and Consciously, As Received Through Spirit Guides” which is important. All the guidance is given precisely and clearly by his spirit guides, who he has been working with for many years. He is also the author of the previous title Knowledge of Spirit Worlds and Life After Death, which Cygnus did well with. He is a loyal Cygnus member of long standing. So this book by contrast to his previous is an inquiry into moving into realms of spirit while still living in our bodies. When we venture into these spheres, we come back with information that will help us work as more enlightened beings, who can act with greater compassion to benefit everyone. Bob’s guides supply specific meditations that we can use to make these inspiring journeys. Because the book is composed as a dialogue, it’s clear and easy to follow.

This book is different to Alive Until You’re Dead, which is more inspirational and anecdotal. Its subtitle is Seven Keys to Awakening with Purpose and Joy as You Age, so it does have a teaching aspect. It’s more about the second half of life and facing tricky stuff, rather than the specifics of ageing. Each chapter is a stepping stone towards creating a more healthy and resilient outlook, although the book is still rich in stories. The book is informed at its foundations by Buddhism, although the author makes reference to and is guided by great spiritual teachers who weren’t Buddhist, like Ram Dass, Father Thomas Keating and Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. In all his encounters with them he is encouraged into a state of Wise Elderhood - one which we must all aspire to. The whole tone of the book is friendly and encouraging and reading it just fills you with hope.

Reading this book feels a little like walking alongside Lars Muhl as he journeys to the Qumran Caves; it’s as if you’ve been invited along to absorb his thoughts and enjoy his observations. Interestingly, he describes his narrative as a “stream of consciousness”, but this style only seems to heighten the impact of the knowledge he is imparting so don’t be put off. In essence it’s a practical guide even though it doesn’t look like one, and from it you’ll find answers that no scientist can provide, along with a magical understanding of your inner world of multi-dimensional realities and endless magic. You’ll discover how to find, and be, in your golden inner light, a light that will help you to rise above daily challenges and achieve your full potential.

The Untethered Soul was a surprising bestseller and here at last is the follow-up. It was always a book that seemed to offer a bit more, because it’s personal development based on profound spiritual principles. His teachings are uncompromising and he doesn’t make concessions: you need to be centred and aware in every encounter you have so that you don’t get hooked and you are demanding nothing from that encounter. At once transcendent and powerfully practical, his teachings provide clear guidance for moving beyond the thoughts, feelings, and habits that keep you stuck, so you can heal the pain of the past and let your spirit soar. This book can help you stop struggling and live life always in the moment, and to experience things exactly as they are.

The purpose of this book is to help us to learn what love is, how to find it and how to keep it. The author, a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology, writes about love, with love. He also writes with his son, who he lost in 2008, but with whom he has been able to continue to communicate in spirit ever since. This is the third book in the series. He writes with passion about how loss and pain are pathways to love, but also about how to think about loving what you don’t like, about the relationship between love and gratitude and how to navigate through difficult choices. The book also includes practices and meditations designed to help love endure in the face of loss, disappointment, change, or any of the ways relationships and circumstances are altered by time.

This book is the result of the anger, despair and hurt felt by the author because of the combined effects of both historical and modern day racism, compounded by the misappropriation of Indigenous wisdom and medicine by money-orientated white women. Don’t think that this takes anything away from the content of the book though, it’s both thought provoking and reaffirms your faith inthe healing message she shares here. Asha Frost is an Indigenous Medicine Woman and in this book she tells us stories inspired by her Ojibway ancestry which help reveal our inherent capacity for healing ourselves based on our ancestral lineage. Through rituals, sacred journeys and her own wisdom she shows us how to practice self-care, how to trust and surrender so you can manifest and thrive, how to release self-doubt, fear and insecurity and so much more.

This is another classic, co-written by British author Andrew Collins and including a foreword by Erich von Däniken. If you know Andrew’s previous books you will be prepared for a highly enjoyable and informative joyride across the globe, looking at ancient locations and tracking stories, legends and even historical film or photos relating to them. The book tries to make sense of ancient history and to place humanity in a much larger panorama that covers geomantic anomalies, UFO encounters and possible extra-terrestrial contact. Why did people build ceremonial sites in such weird locations? Was ancient ritual an attempt to tap into the energies there and make some kind of contact with other levels? Packed full of photos, this is an exhilarating ride, whether you agree with the authors or not. But be in no doubt - they know more about this stuff than almost anybody.

Since the publication in 2017 of the bestseller Why We Sleep, there have been many books on the value of sleep, along with much new research on the subject. The Coronavirus lockdown has also had a disastrous effect on many people’s ability to sleep and we seem to live in a constant state of anxiety and disruption. This is a fascinating and rewarding variation on that theme, written by a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California. She talks about the “Downstate”, the way of being where your body thrives and recovers, and where it is basically functioning in an optimum way. Of course sleep is probably the greatest downstate, but there are other forms based on breathing, nutrition and exercise. These of course can help you sleep too. The science is cutting-edge and the author also writes in a fun way.

This book is the transcript of a talk given by the author of Swan Wings on the Anthroposophical teachings of Rudolph Steiner. It is her introduction to the subject of reincarnation, karma and the meaning of life, and is easy to read. Focusing on our working life and how we make the decisions about what job to do, she unfolds the processes that have gone into getting us where we are today, and how we should listen to them and not the value-driven alternatives. She describes the ongoing development of our existence, from where we were before we were born to what happens to us after we die, and how, if we acknowledge this process and how it works, we can be better people in the life we are living right now. Well worth a read, especially if you feel trapped in your routine.

We all want our children to have the best start in life and this includes being independent, resilient and happy, just as much as getting 3 good A-levels, but a lot of us haven’t had the courage to step outside the norm in the way we bring them up. Mike Fairclough has, and with huge success, and not only does he apply his principles to his own kids, but he runs a highly successful state school based on them too. Don’t be put off by the term “rewilding”, what this book explains is that getting kids out into nature and letting them go on adventures not only inspires them to discover and question, but also to be independent and feel confident and empowered. It explains how you should manage this process too so that they get the most out of it, plus you are relaxed and you get to go on adventures too!
