What is spirituality? And why do humans have such a need for expressing particularly views and traditions on the subject?  In a world made open through trade, immigration and--most dramatically--the Internet, we are exposed to all sorts of new and sometimes challenging ideas. At Accent on Books, we love to engage new ideas and concepts. Our buyers bring to our shelves the very best in these fields and are here to talk you through the labyrinths of the human spiritual experience--or at least through the labyrinth of books on the subject!

Here's a good place to start. Ursula King's little book is a 

primer on what's happening right now in this field.

Runelore: a Handbook of Esoteric Runology by Edred Thorsson

One of the best-known writers on this fascinating subject. This book from Weiser gives a strong overview of lore, history, tradition and modern usage. 

2012!!!!!  Eeeps!  You'll be hearing more and more about this as the year progresses, so if you are curious about the "Mayan Calendar" and what it portends for civilization, check out The Mayan Code by Barbara Hand Clow.

Karen McCarthy Brown's Mama Lola: a Vodou Priestess in Brooklyn is the fascinating story of a decades-long friendship. The new edition also recounts Mama Lola's work following the devastating Haitian earthquake.

Sticks, Stones, Roots and Bones: Hoodoo, Mojo and Conjuring Herbs 

by Stephanie Rose Bird

The African diasporas have brought beautiful spiritual traditions into the Americas, traditions that meld together ancient African animist religions with the Christian religions of the conquerors.  Bird gives us a fun and authentic guidebook to what the Europeans called the "conjure" tradition and is also called "rootwork" and "hoodoo" in lots of other places.
