The Library of Avalon

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this 'plug' for a great place I love visiting, but I feel it deserves some advertising because it is so useful, and unfortunately rare.

"It probably has little connection at all. It's advertised as 'Womb Dance' rather than 'African Healing Dance', so it might not even be trying to make a connection. I've not been, nor know anyone who has been, so I…"

"I was just curious that it's portrayed as man improving nature - not working with it, but using it for his own ends, like most sciences. Although there is an underlying spiritual aspect that's the foundation of the philosophy, it still…"

"Yes, Paracelsus mentions that if you seek in alchemy only for material wealth, you will fail. Alchemy aims for the perfection of nature, including man's spirit. Bu the appeal of the (side effects) of wealth certainly made it an acceptable…"
