Inner Visions, is an astonishing book about the reality of inner-city neighborhoods where it seems all hope and vision for a better future has been abandoned. Jan Thrope takes the reader on a tour through the most poverty stricken areas of Cleveland, Ohio, to show the despair and how some of the residents are pulling together to make positive changes with hard work and innovative thinking. This book is a testament to the human spirit and that despite the situations some people have been born into, they still want better for themselves and their community.

“Couldn’t wait to get my hands on it...not just a good art book. It’s a classic tome of artwork. There is treat upon treat, lavished with praise by a lot of contemporary artists, who share many readers’ delight in what Walotsky has accomplished over the years. Those funky posters from the 1960s...Many reproductions here from a long career, spanning many book covers, magazine appearances, some real fine treats.”—True Review.

A message of spiritual empowerment for African American men combines parables, meditation, prayer, and ritual to guide them.

First published in 1979, Inner Visions discussion the nature of contemporary magical thought – encompassing the Tarot and the Qabalah – and considers its impact on the creative imagination. The author presents a fusion of the creative, magical and mythological undercurrents which are part of the ‘new consciousness’, and traces the influence of surrealist art and the expansive psychedelic period on the art and music of the 1970s. He looks, for example, at the relationship of the fantasy art on record sleeves to the electronic inner-space music which it often accompanies, and shows that this form of modern music represents one facet of the contemporary reaction against scientism and of the search for what Roszak has termed the visionary sources of our culture. The author concludes that a major mythological impulse is emerging in our culture and that magical and surreal approaches represent a profoundly invigorating and inspiring attitude linking the individual to the cosmos. This will be a fascinating read for anyone interested in magic, mythology, art, music and literature.

The Druid's Peace & the Sorcerer's Eye The practice of magical arts requires a mind trained in the ability to produce altered states of awareness at will. Magical work is supported by the ability to calm the heart and mind, to work with the energies of the Inner World, and to see and journey among the spirits. The Book of Visions provides lessons in the skills of meditation and vision. The methods are presented in a series that can serve as progressive lessons, or stand alone. Presented within a Pagan Druidic framework, the methods are easily adaptable to other Pagan systems. The lessons include: - Meditation - Finding Your Peace - The Two Powers; Underworld and Heavens - The Threshold Realm, & the Vision Journey; - The Inner Grove; a personal place of power. - The Nineteen Working: a spiritual practiced based firmly on Gaelic lore.
