Dial Detective is a book that only a Uranian astrologer who is also a graphic artist could do! Well over 100 illustrations show step-by-step how to use the 90° dial, primary tool of Cosmobiology and Uranian Astrology, proving the adage, "a picture is worth a thousand words." Since its original publication in 1989, Dial Detective has become the most frequently recommended book among students, practitioners and teachers as the best book of instruction in 90° dial technique.

An Astrological Parenting Guide - This book combines a magical world view, common sense from practical experience, and astrology to help you understand the special needs of your child - how each child is born with unique qualities and a special, individual style. With a nurturing, loving touch laced with personal anecdotes from her experiences as a parent, step-parent and school teacher, Maria Kay Simms provides parents with the tools to help build a child’s self-esteem and confidence.

Learn everything you need to know about setting up and running your own Wiccan coven―including how you can use aspects of astrology to help guide you―when you get The Witch's Circle (previously titled Circle of the Cosmic Muse) by Maria Kay Simms. Although there are many excellent guides to setting up covens, The Witch's Circle is by far the most complete. It covers all of the theory and practice you need to run a coven: • The New Renaissance of spirituality and how it relates to astrological ages • The ethics and practice of contemporary Wicca • Magick: theory, healing, protection, raising energy, and more • The order and parts of ritual • Astrology and ritual • Rituals for the eight Sabbats • Full Moon rituals for a year: the astrological moons • Other rituals including: handfasting, memorials, healing, cleansing and charging a place, and more • How to find or start a circle • Making ritual accessories including robes, wreaths, masks, and wands • Herbs and oils • Music for ritual, including over two dozen songs and chants The Witch's Circle is a serious Wiccan Book of Shadows that will teach you to incorporate the archetypes of astrology into your practice. Wicca and astrology together create a potent tool for understanding the dualities of the Wheel of the Year―and for expressing them in powerful new ways. The Witch's Circle is the only book of rituals that uses the deep insights of astrology to unlock the ancient spiritual mysteries of Wicca. This unique joining of Wicca and astrology is key to deciphering the hidden symbolism of Wicca and enriching your spiritual practice. Written by a High Priestess-astrologer of an active Wiccan coven, the living rituals presented in The Witch's Circle are the first of their kind. You can practice them to express the vital energy underlying each Pagan celebration―and to experience Wicca more fully than you ever have before.
