The Alchemy Stones: Use the Wisdom of the Ancient Alchemists to Transform Your Life, by M.E. Warlick, is a fascinating self-exploration and spiritual growth tool. Originally released in 1997 as The Philosopher's Stones: Let the Magic of Alchemy Transform Your Life, this revised edition of the boxed set includes 28 frosted, translucent “stones” with ancient alchemical symbols, a velvet bag for storage, and an excellent soft cover book. Dr. M.E. Warlick, an associate professor of art history at the university of Denver, is also the author of Max Ernst and Alchemy: A Magician in Search of Myth. The Alchemy Stones book is fully illustrated, printed in two colors, and explains the philosophy and history behind alchemy, relates traditional alchemical texts and illustrations to the stones, and gives several layouts for different situations. If you bought the original set, as I did, don't bother buying the new one as it is virtually identical (the book illustrations are lighter and more high contrast, but it's the same art). If you haven't experienced it yet, this set makes alchemy as a path to spiritual growth accessible and fun. It's also a really attractive set.
 
Tarot of the Sephiroth, by Josephine Mori and Jill Stockwell, deck created by Dan Staroff (by U.S. Games), is a wonderful exploration of the connections between the Tarot and the Qabalah's Tree of Life. Dan Staroff designed the deck as a key to unlocking the mysteries of the Qabalah, and it is clear that he possesses extensive knowledge of these mysteries. In the booklet that accompanies the deck, Staroff writes: “My intent was to break through the veils and shadows of the traditional images of the Tarot, and to reinterpret them for a new era in which accessibility to these concepts and constructs is key.”
 
Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential, by Caroline Myss (Sounds True) is a five CD spoken audio set based on her book by the same name. The discs explore the topics: “What is a Sacred Contract?”; “Sacred Contracts of the Masters”; “Archetypes; Your Energetic Companions”; “Casting the Archetypal Wheel”; and “Common Questions about Sacred Contracts”. Though Myss explores many more archetypes in the book, these CDs are an excellent introduction to the subject. Myss defines the term: “A sacred contract is an agreement you make to be a part of the creation and the manifestation of some part of life that will enhance the awakening and the making whole of your spirit and serve the whole of life at the same time.”
