Yep, Amazon has a Kindle version:

]Wicca differs from mainstream notions of religion. Traditionally, it's more of a religious order with no laity, an initiatory pagan priesthood that maintains a body of knowledge and rites that is kept intact and handed down from initiate to initiate. It also differs in that it's not an orthodoxy but an orthopraxy.
Eclectic practices influenced by Wicca tend to be orthodox ("I'm a Wiccan because I believe ___") and tend to differ from one to the other as they're most often individual practices unique to the person.
Some suggestions:
Triumph of the Moon by Ronald Hutton
Wicca: A comprehensive guide to the Old Religion in the modern world by Vivienne Crowley
Modern Wicca: A History From Gerald Gardner to the Present by Michael Howard
Witching Culture, Folklore and Neo-Paganism in America, by Sabina Magliocco
Drawing Down the Moon, by Margot Adler (the late NPR journalist)
This book is like an unofficial follow-up to Adler's DDTM:
Voices from the Pagan Census: A National Survey of Witches and Neo-Pagans in the United States, by Helen A. Berger
Books from the mid-20th century:
Witchcraft Today by Gerald Gardner
The Meaning of Witchcraft by Gerald Gardner
I have read about the mantis beings you are speaking of as well as the other grey beings you spoke of in your post in a book I received second hand. It provides a pretty thorough explanation about a handful of different species of aliens and why they chose to contact with humans. The book is called "preparing for contact" I believe. I'd post pictures but I am currently studying abroad in Japan and I didn't think to bring that book along with me. Here is a link if you'd like to have a look yourself. https://www.amazon.com/Preparing-Contact-Metamorphosis-Lyssa-Royal-ebook/dp/B003O68EWI hope this helps good luck!
For Pleiadian literature I suggest the channeled works from Barbara Marciniak, especially Bringers of the Dawn.
There are some other materials which aren't from the Pleiadians that I recommend as well:
The Arcturian Star Chronicles, channeled by Patricia Pereira. I have read Songs of the Arcturians and am currently reading Eagles of the New Dawn. I haven't read volumes 3 and 4 but they're all on Amazon.
Consider checking out the documentary film Tuning In
In that film you'll see Lee Carroll, who channels Kryon, one of my favorite sources. Carroll has channeled 12 books (I have them all) but also travels the world and does live channels. I've been to a few. The channels are recorded and put up on the Kryon site for free. For someone who is new to Metaphysics and/or the Kryon messages there is a Handbook that gives people a good place to start.
That should last you a while!
Yeah, aside from the intro and end pages, it's the same eight pages of pseudo-text for the bulk of the book. You can get a good idea of what it looks like in my gallery there. The hardcopy is expensive, but the paperback is pretty affordable: http://www.amazon.com/Al-Azif-Necronomicon-Abdul-Alhazred/dp/1587150433/
Necromancy is not as “Ooga booga” as people say, it is simply divination by speaking to the dead. Not making zombies or commanding rats or anything. Many cultures in Asia commune with their dead in a necromantic way every day.
Not saying this book is an authority, but it captures the “feel” of what I have known to be necromancy:
communing with spirits
First, RESPECT, for working with the dying and grieving. That is profound, and highly important work.
To reiterate other's here, you don't sound 'crazy', only opening to something that had value and an accepted place in antiquity and pre-modern societies (arguably it does now also, but not necessarily through any official institutions, it still seems to be a fringe activity and 'gift' not accepted by the sciences).
A starting point to placing your inner experiences into a broader context, which may help with self-understanding and integration through the process, might be:
Channeling. There are numerous other texts of similar material around. Check them out?
As to matters of grounding, other's advice here seems sound.
A somatic practice might prove helpful, like hatha yoga, or perhaps continuing meditation but practicing it in a different way, seeing as you are already meditating? Anapanasati, how to practice breath meditation, which focuses on the breath and thus has more of a grounding and bodily based attention brought to the process could be useful in this context. I've personally had trouble with dissociation and found sitting with a piece of obsidian and/or black tourmaline held in both my hands while sitting cross-legged or lying flat on my back, and focusing into the stone with my mind while being mindful to both my breath and body a helpful way of grounding and generating containment in/as my body.
Although the following book is primarily about working with energy healing it discusses channeling and contains diagrams of exercises that help a practitioner working with subtle forces to stay grounded and balanced, it might also be worth your time Hands of Light.
Salutations!
There are four books in the series, all by the same author. This is the first one:
http://www.amazon.com/Messages-Michael-Anniversary-Chelsea-Yarbro/dp/0974290742/
There are other books purporting to be in on this but I have trust issues with them. Things to keep in mind if you choose: The original "students" were said to have been students of the teachings of G.I. Gurdjieff, and if true, it shows. Another thing to know (for what it may be worth) is that the author is a well-known horror author, so I read it with a grain of salt in mind. Belief is never required though and skepticism is encouraged so I kept reading. Whether it's BS or not, I like the "information"; I see nothing wrong with it, it makes sense, and has improved the way I deal with other people. For the most part.
They were re-released recently with some missing/re-edited material. I highly recommend the newer ones. There are two volumes and an optional complementary index.
Volume 1: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0945007949/
Volume 2: https://www.amazon.com/Ra-Contact-Teaching-Law-One/dp/0945007981
Index: https://www.amazon.com/Ra-Contact-Unified-Index/dp/0945007728/
If you’d like to directly support L/L Research, I recommend buying them directly from the source. There’s even a discounted bundle.

The best place to start would be Ian Stevenson's research on the subject. If there's a case to be made for reincarnation, it'll most likely be an empirical one, and Stevenson is definitely the go to person on research associated with this topic.
And from there there's a philosophical literature dedicated to assessing and refining the arguments for survival based on the empirical data.
let's not forget that almost anything can get published as a book as well

Joey Please, You're our only hope!
My response was to the other user's comment because they got a bit technical about the author and I just don't think that's a too relevant factor when it comes to finding this deck.
Anyway, according to Amazon and Goodreads, the author of this deck is still Doreen Virtue.
Try "Ramtha: the White Book"
https://www.amazon.ca/Ramtha-White-Book/dp/1578730457
Those who have read both will see it's basically the same concept. In my opinion the white book is far clearer.
NB: I would skip the first 3 chapters as it's unimportant background information. You can find this book in PDF format on the interwebs. :)
I have a decent amount of experience with death. You may want to read this book to gain some understanding.
Testimony of Light
The best thing I can think of is not to push anything on your buddy. Just be a supportive friend that has no agenda and no advice unless it is strongly requested. They just have to go through their process and it takes a long time.
Life is the teacher, not us. Just be a very good kind friend.
Death (in my world anyway) is not real. It is only a step and it's not a bad one to take.
The best way to give ones love and gratitude to a person who has passed away is to live a really good life as if they could experience it all with you. (they often can, but even if one doesn't believe in this, it's still the best way to respect who they were when they were around too)

The reviews of her autobiography are good.

I think she's the only X performer I'd actually like to have a conversation with.
Houdini also wrote a book about debunking.
-
Harry Houdini and his exposure of the fraud spiritualist, spirit photography, spirit slate writing, ectoplasm, clairvoyance, and other quakery and cons perpetrated on the gullible, by the likes of the Boston Medium Margery, the Davenport Brothers, Annie Eva Fay, the Fox Sisters, Daniel Dunglas Home, Eusapia Pallandino, and other con artists of their ilk.

I'm days late to the party but still wanted to reply.
​
"All of them and none of them" is going to be ( albeit frustratingly ) your best answer haha!
​
Like most philosophy its a bit like fine art... meant to be thought provoking yet very personally interpreted. The empty spaces between concepts laid out by words are where the real value is. So really you are trying to capture the 'accurate' feeling of those gaps, of that nothingness.
​
Yet at the same time one of the best concepts from the Tao Te Ching is simply that if you can put it into words then it is not 'the eternal tao'. Really this means that it cannot be neatly defined by language. This makes the fact, that we require translations, to be less impactful on our attempts to understand the text.
​
So I cannot answer you as you would like. But I can honestly say that this is because there really is not a best translation. I own many different copies and related works ( on mentoring, on parenting, on this on that etc etc ) simply because there is not a single best iteration.
​
I have ended up favoring two copies both of which are actually 'illustrated' - but do not hate on illustrations! Since they are illustrated I leave them out in the open like coffee table book style. Over time I've grown fond of them and their particular translations. Worth noting, the illustrated aspect of both books came AFTER the translating work... as in these authors didn't set out to make pictures they set out to translate accurately first then after many years made illustrated versions.
​
One is by Stephen Mitchell. He is a renown translator. His Book
​
The other is by Man-Ho Kwok, Martin Palmer, Jay Ramsay w/ calligraphy by Kwok-Lap Chan. Link for convenience
​
I also found this on Mentoring and this classic on Parenting to both be very good.
​
Final thought. I wanted to address your direct inquiry honestly ( ie: cannot label a 'best' ) but also provide some specific works that I have found value in. I also want to make a final recommendation to learn about Taoist philosophy. The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet. Amazon Link to box set of the two.
​
Those two books are excellent for the studied as well as the unfamiliar reader. They thoughtfully explain how Winnie the Pooh is almost a perfect representation of taoist principles and concepts. I found these two books to be a really great way for me to personally cement philosophical concepts to real world practice. Having to read and think about full situations ( even if cartoon ) really helped me to memorize practical take-aways.
​
So in summary, the TL;DR is this...
​
​
Whether you just want to explore a copy, or dive headfirst into The Way, I hope you can find some of this advice helpful!
