Queen Afua
Heal Thyself for Health and Longevity
£ 21.99
This is a call to the United Nations, to the communities of the world. This is a call to our leaders - political, spiritual, educational, business and artistic - who have an even greater responsibility to purify, lest the people be led to mass destruction.
Queen Afua is an initiate of the shrine of Ptah and Chief Priestess of Purification in the temple of Neb-Het, an ancient Afrakan Order. She is also a Khamitic (Egyptian) priestess, yoga teacher, herbalist, holistic health specialist, natural healer and midwife.
Review - "Queen Afua explains how all people — especially those on a “western diet” have food addictions that contribute to 90% of our ailments. This book tells of her personal triumph and the triumphs of many others in healing through a clean diet. After reading this book, the reader will understand how diets including sugar, salt, meats, and processed food contribute to diminished health and illness. The reader will also have a step-by-step solution to ridding themselves of many common ailments associated with poor nutrition and a body not functioning at optimal levels. Excellent book for those looking to reclaim their health and live a more fulfilling life."

To follow these teachings is to guarantee our liberation and to guide us toward our destiny. From forward by Asa G. Hilliard, III, Calloway Professor of Education at Georgia State University, Atlanta.
E. A. Wallis Budge
The Egyptian Book Of The Dead
£ 19.99
"The Book of Coming Forth by Day."
Throughout its history, the influence of the Book of the Dead has been considerable, particularly as it was translated by the well-known Egyptologist E.A. Wallis Budge in 1899. The true title of this work should be, "The Book of Coming Forth by Day." It's purpose was to provide the dead pharaoh with the knowledge necessary to navigate the world of the dead so that he may be able to take his place on the great solar barge.
This is a beautiful book - a large-format facsimile reproduction of the Papyrus of Ani in large color images with translation of the hieroglyphs beneath. The pictures comprising the bulk of the book are not of the Papyrus itself, held captive in the British National Museum; rather it is a reproduction of a carefully-made imitation of the original. The translation is readable and there are several useful essays and commentaries written by competent egyptologists.
Review - "The Papyrus of Ani from the XXVII Dynasty (1500-1400 BC) is one of the earliest, most completed, and most beautifully illuminated exemplars of papyri known as a " Book of the Dead", or guide to the Egyptian After Life. As such it has received scrupulous attention by scholars and Egyptologists to ensure, as much as possible, an accurate translation and scholarly interpretation of the this most important primary historical document. I strongly urge all readers with a general interest in the history of the world of the Ancients and in particular those with an interest in Ancient Egypt to read this text".

Dr Muata Ashby
Per M Heru - The Book of Enlightenment - EBOOK
£ 2.99
This book is a new original translation of the Ancient Egyptian Book of the Deadbased on surviving papyri from Ancient Egypt " I Know myself, I know myself, I am One With God!-From the Pert Em Heru
"The Ru Pert em Heru" or "Ancient Egyptian Book of The Dead," or "Book of Coming Forth By Day" as it is more popularly known, has fascinated the world since the successful translation of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic scripture over 150 years ago.
The astonishing writings in it reveal that the Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death and in an ultimate destiny to discover the Divine. The elegance and aesthetic beauty of the hieroglyphic text itself has inspired many see it as an art form in and of itself. But is there more to it than that?
Did the Ancient Egyptian wisdom contain more than just aphorisms and hopes of eternal life beyond death? In this volume Dr. Muata Ashby, the author of over 25 books on Ancient Egyptian Yoga Philosophy has produced a new translation of the original texts which uncovers a mystical teaching underlying the sayings and rituals instituted by the Ancient Egyptian Sages and Saints.
"Once the philosophy of Ancient Egypt is understood as a mystical tradition instead of as a religion or primitive mythology, it reveals its secrets which if practiced today will lead anyone to discover the glory of spiritual self-discovery. The Pert em Heru is in every way comparable to the Indian Upanishads or the Tibetan Book of the Dead."

The Goddess Blackwoman: Mother of Civilization
£ 11.99
12 lessons to restore the image, the character, and the responsibility of the goddess blackwoman
Review - "This book is excellent. I like that the author is very conversational and he writes as if he's speaking directly to you. In some books, this may not be acceptable, but it really worked as the format for this one. I honestly think that this book can be used as part of a curriculum for teaching girls how to respect themselves. His points were very true and they could sting if you do not possess esteem for yourself.
However, I encourage all to read the entire book before making a final judgement. He seems to be a parent. Every point he made was relevant still. These points are in fact lessons and I would definitely give this book as a gift to any woman who I thought needed to learn about her self value.

John G. Jackson
Christianity Before Christ
£ 16.99
John G. Jackson was an educator, lecturer, author, and man of principle.
Nothing is new or original in Christianity.
That is the important thesis demonstrated in Christianity Before Christ. The least important features, as well as the most important components, were all well developed in cultures that flourished before the time that Christ is alleged to have walked the parched paths of Roman Palestine.
Review - "The information presented in this book is absolutely crucial if Atheists and other free thinkers are to understand the nature of the beast that threatens not only their liberties and rights as citizens in a secular republic, but also threatens to return world civilization itself back to the prescientific levels of the ancient cultures from which Christianity derived all its odd details.
Every Atheist needs to know what is in this book"!
Queen Afua
The City of Wellness
from £ 24.99
Restoring Your Health Through The Seven Kitchens of Consciousness Book
The City of Wellness, brings together Queen Afua's method of healing yourself through diet and nutrition. Restoring Your Health Through the Seven Kitchens of Consciousness, educates readers on bridging the relationship between their food-lifestyle and their wellness.
A step by step method of elevating your health through giving up flesh and increasing fresh raw foods for increased wellness, and healing of actual health problems such as hypertension and obesity.
Not a typical diet book, rather a lifestyle change. Endorsing foods that increase the vibrational frequency that leads to optimal health, herbal and specific food groups are discussed.
She reminds us that historically, African Americans had limited access to doctors and other healthcare providers. Midwives and other "root healers" were all that blacks had from Africa through slavery up until the past 40-50 years. In some locales of the South and Carribean, "root healers" continue to heal with foods and herbs.
Today this life threatening health crisis is spreading through the African American community like a twenty-first century black plague.
Review - "This book has my attention its great if your in the process of healing oneself inside and out. If your on the path of eating right, meditation and self healing the mind or if you have read this Author other books this is a great edition".

Kemetic Diet: Food for Body, Mind and Spirit
£ 21.99
The Kemetic Diet: Guide To Health, Diet, And Fasting
Health issues have always been important to human beings since the beginning of time. The earliest records of history show that the art of healing was held in high esteem since the time of Ancient Egypt.
In the early 20th century, medical doctors had almost attained the status of sainthood by the promotion of the idea that they alone were "scientists" while other healing modalities and traditional healers who did not follow the "scientific method' were nothing but superstitious, ignorant charlatans who at best would take the money of their clients and at worst kill them with the unscientific "snake oils" and "irrational theories."
In the late 20th century, the failure of the modern medical establishment's ability to lead the general public to good health, promoted the move by many in society towards "alternative medicine." Alternative medicine disciplines are those healing modalities which do not adhere to the philosophy of allopathic medicine.
Allopathic medicine is what medical doctors practice by an large. It is the theory that disease is caused by agencies outside the body such as bacteria, viruses or physical means which affect the body. These can therefore be treated by medicines and therapies.
The natural healing method began in the absence of extensive technologies with the idea that all the answers for health may be found in nature or rather, the deviation from nature. Therefore, the health of the body can be restored by correcting the aberration and thereby restoring balance..
This is the area that will be covered in this volume. Allopathic techniques have their place in the art of healing. However, we should not forget that the body is a grand achievement of the spirit and built into it is the capacity to maintain itself and heal itself.

Walter Williams
The Historical Origins Of Christianity
£ 19.99
The Historical Origin Of Christianity by Walter Williams reveals what happened to ancient Egyptian ancestors and how the true origin of Christianity began.
The construction of Christianity was a process that took hundreds of years to evolve. Christianity was first seated at the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (today Istanbul) and was finally moved to Europe in 1445.The alphabet chart showing the derivation of the Roman and Greek phonetic system; the bibliography that includes "The Outline of History" by H.G.Wells; and an index listing schismatic controversies that were addressed at the several councils leading up to the establishment of Christianity as we have it today all give the book credibility and give the reader leads to independent research.
Review - "Thanks to Dr. Walter Williams for this analytical research on the Historical Origin of Christianity. I’m very thankful for this beautiful piece of information that actually deals with the facts involved in these false man made religions and answers the hard questions that no religious person would be willing to admit.
This book is a must read for all Black people, and the soon you read it the better off you’ll be".

Egyptian Mysteries Volume 1
£ 13.99
What are the Mysteries? For thousands of years the spiritual tradition of Ancient Egypt, Shetaut Neter, "The Egyptian Mysteries," "The Secret Teachings," have fascinated, tantalized and amazed the world.
At one time exalted and recognized as the highest culture of the world, by Africans, Europeans, Asiatics, Hindus, Buddhists and other cultures of the ancient world, in time it was shunned by the emerging orthodox world religions.
Its temples desecrated, its philosophy maligned, its tradition spurned, its philosophy dormant in the mystical Medu Neter, the mysterious hieroglyphic texts which hold the secret symbolic meaning that has scarcely been discerned up to now.
What are the secrets of Nehast {spiritual awakening and emancipation, resurrection}. More than just a literal translation, this volume is for awakening to the secret code Shetitu of the teaching which was not deciphered by Egyptologists, nor could be understood by ordinary spiritualists.
This book is a reinstatement of the original science made available for our times, to the reincarnated followers of Ancient Egyptian culture and the prospect of spiritual freedom to break the bonds of Khemn, "ignorance," and slavery to evil forces: Såaa .

Now, for the first time, the reader can discover the hidden beauties of the Lost Books. To be found in this volume are the Apostles' Creed, the Psalms and Odes of Solomon, and other Apocryphal writings that have become part of our religious heritage.
The book is basically divided into two parts - one comprised of the Old Testament Pseudigrapha and the other ranging from New Testament Ante - Nicean writings such as Clement I and II to Pseudigrapha such as the Proto Evangelion of Mary or the Gospel of James as it is more commonly known.
The story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, of Adam and Eve, of the girlhood and betrothal of Mary, of the childhood of Jesus, are here in all warmth, intimacy, and humanity of their first telling.Review - "This is an excellent resource for those interested in the gnostic, heretical writings of the post NT period or the apocalyptic texts of the inter -testamental era. It is also invaluable for reading the texts of the orthodox early fathers".

Encyclopedia Of Black Studies EBOOK
£ 3.99
The Encyclopedia of Black Studies is the leading reference source for dynamic and innovative research on the Black experience.

This single-volume reference is the vanguard of the recent explosive growth in quality scholarship in the field. More than a chronicle of black culture or black people, this encyclopedia deals with the emergence and maturity of an intellectual field over the past four decades.
Beginning with the protests at San Francisco State College in 1967 that led to the first degree-granting department of Black Studies, the field′s rapid growth over time necessitates an authoritative account of the discipline.

Cheikh Anta Diop
The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Rea...
£ 11.99
This classic presents historical, archaeological, and anthropological evidence to support the theory that ancient Egypt was a black civilization.
Cheikh Anta Diop, who was born in Dakar on the 29th of December 1923 and died on the 7th of February 1986. Diop was a historian, anthropologist, physicist, and politician who studied the human race’s origins and pre-colonial African culture.
Though Diop is sometimes referred to as an Afrocentrist, he predates the concept and thus was not himself an Afrocentric scholar. However, “Diopian thought”, as it is called, is paradigmatic to Afrocentricity.
His work was greatly controversial and throughout his career, Diop argued that there was a shared cultural continuity across African peoples that was more important than the varied development of different ethnic groups shown by differences among languages and cultures over time.Diop did his most significant work under the tutelege of Professor Frédéric Joliot in Paris. This culminated in (Diop’s) seminal work “The African Origin of Civilization: Myth or Reality” (1974) is one of the seminal works on African proto history and history. It makes the case that both mankind and civilization started with black people. It argues that Ancient Egypt was largely Black African in race and culture during the first 2,000 years of its civilization. When Diop first put forward his thesis his work was resoundingly debunked by white Egyptologists and anthropologists, notably Bruce Trigger and other Europeans. But Diop was persistent and his theories were brilliantly defended by him.
Now in its 30th printing, this classic presents historical, archaeological, and anthropological evidence to support the theory that ancient Egypt was a black civilization.
