The Sacred Conspiracy is a book to be revisited, mulled over and discussed.

I recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn how to lucid dream or for those wanting to better their skills.

The Greek Mythology Reading Cards draw on artworks depicting classical Greek mythological figures, and presents them in an easy to shuffle and spread oracle format.
