One Spirit: No Other Club Like It
Aug 13 '00
My favorite of all subscription book clubs is called One Sprit. I'm sure many of you are familiar with it. I love this club simply because it allows me the convenience and access to the books and other eclectic items I've grown to love and depend on, but unfortunately have to pack for an all-day trip if I want to immerse myself with these objects.
One Spirits' tag line is "Resources for the spirit, mind, and body."
It simply is of no consequence what part of metaphysics that interests you. You will find the resources you need in One Spirit, all the while enjoying the benefits and incredible savings that come with being a club member.
I'd like to take a moment and discuss some of the items One Spirit carries.
Obviously, being a book club, they have a plethora of books. Books on the afterlife, books on Tai Chi, Reiki, past lives, confidence and self-esteem, inner peace, meditation, feng shui, spells, Wicca guidebooks, witchcraft, runes, Confucianism, Zen Buddhism, ancient cities/lives, creativity, artists and writer's tools. transformations, ghosts, yoga, health, exercise, herbs, detox programs, astrology, numerology, visualization, inner self construction, mainstream religion, altars, vision quests, sabbaticals, finance, chakras, chi, dreams and nightmares, journaling, relaxation and lots, lots more. Whew!
And that's just the books!
Here are some of the other exciting and interesting things that One Spirit carries in addition to their books. Goddess jewlery, statues, statuettes, stone candle holders, Oracle of the Goddess Candles, Daily Affirmation card deck, tarot card decks, Runes, Celtic paraphanelia, Medieval jewlery, Witchcraft couldrons, iron works, Drumming videos, Sacred Goddess drum, works of art by award-winning artists, incredible all-natural crunchy, leaf journals, Nepalese Stationary, massaging tools, reflexology kits, yoga videos, mats, yum cha natural face/body creams with steamer, along with hundreds of videos, CDs and cassettes that offer one-on-one personal instruction from some of the leaders and pioneers in a respective genre.
I'm afraid the list doesn't stop there. The fact is if it involves alternative spirituality, Wicca, Eastern philosophy, yoga, tai chi, astrology, or whatever...you really are bound to find some really exciting things when enrolled as a member in the One Spirit Book Club!
When I joined, I received 5 free selections total and I agreed to buy 1 more selecton within a year's time. Believe me, the prices on their selections are dramatically cheaper than you would pay in a book store. Like I've said before, the majority of the time, you'd be hard pressed to spend more than $20 on a single selection.
What are the benefits and savings that come with being a club member? Lots! When you join, you'll get great savings right of the bat! It seems to me though, that the sooner you make your first club purchase-the better, simply because the deals you are offered get better and better. For example, for buying 1 book at the club price (again-chances are, it'll be between $15 and $20) you can perhaps get 1 or 2 more books free, or in some cases, as many books as you'd like for 60% off. You also earn "savings points" whenever you make a club purchase, which can then be redeemed for even more club selections.
I'll be the first to admit- I buy more books and things from this club than I probably really should. But t really is addictive and easy to justify since all of the selections you purchase can be justified as self-improvement or self-management tools. I don't know. The thing that just kills me is when I get a shipment of books in the mail and I look at my bill, I'm always intrigued. It never fails to simply run over to my neighborhood Borders and compare my total price, including shipping and handling, to the book store's prices. Invariably, shopping with the fast, reliable, and fun One Spirit book club saves me 40-50%-ALWAYS. Another benefit, (perhaps pitfall for others) is that you order first, then receive your stuff, then pay.
It's a terrific club, you only have to buy 1 book and it honestly is completely different from other club's out there, (and I happen to be in quite a few). If the above interests you in any way, do yourself a favor and try out One Spirit. It'll give you what you want and open a lot of exciting doors to places and things you didn't even know you wanted to go to.
