Publisher's Synopsis

THE OCULATUM is a medieval collection of wisdom considered so powerful that for many years it was kept hidden, passed on only by word of mouth. It was first written down by a Flemish patriarch who fled to England in the sixteenth century. Treasured by his family, it was invoked during the Great Fire of London by his descendant Van Dar Lippen, who referred to it often as it always gave strength, hope and comfort. The sayings include: 'There is not anger in acceptance', 'The empty word needs the louder sound', 'You have all that you shall ever need'.

This new edition has been pieced together from surviving manuscripts, almanacs and psalters by Butler Yates. It is a book without a beginning, middle or end. The secret of THE OCULATUM lies in the power of individual choice: you must decide where to start. And in six days greater clarity of thought, increased self-awareness, renewed focus and inner strength will be yours.
