Journey into the world of Ayahuasca and healing. A mysterious and
powerful plant medicine with curative powers that is drunk as a tea
during a sacred ceremony, Ayahuasca has been known to change
people's lives dramatically. But what was once a healing experience
practiced only by Indigenous South Americans - and sought out by
the adventurous few - has, in the past fifty years, become
increasingly popular around the world. Hachumak, a Peruvian
medicine man, has been practicing traditional healing arts in his
country for more than twenty years. His unique approach is based on
ritualistic simplicity and highlights the essence of the Art, which
includes the borrowed forces from Nature. In this remarkable book,
he shares his knowledge and experiences to broaden our
understanding of this powerful medicine and protect it from misuse
and exploitation. Whether you are among the uninitiated and
curious, or a seasoned journeyer, you will gain a deeper
understanding of what shamanism is and how and why it works, as
well as its possibilities and limitations. Hachumak reveals his own
path to becoming a shaman and explains how a well-crafted Ayahuasca
ceremony unfolds when run by an experienced curandero. He describes
in detail what to expect - both physically and psychologically -
while under the guidance of the sacred plants. With Hachumak as our
experienced and trusted guide, Journeying Through the Invisible
offers a new and healing way of seeing ourselves and the world
around us.

In this ground-breaking new study, Teren Sevea reveals the
economic, environmental and religious significance of Islamic
miracle workers (pawangs) in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century
Malay world. Through close textual analysis of hitherto overlooked
manuscripts and personal interaction with modern pawangs readers
are introduced to a universe of miracle workers that existed both
in the past and in the present, uncovering connections between
miracles and material life. Sevea demonstrates how societies in
which the production and extraction of natural resources, as well
as the uses of technology, were intertwined with the knowledge of
charismatic religious figures, and locates the role of the pawangs
in the spiritual economy of the Indian Ocean world, across maritime
connections and Sufi networks, and on the frontier of the British
Empire.

Andes and the Machi of Chile to her life today as a teacher and
medicine woman, Marcela's story provides the reader with real-life
context for each stone, each moon, and each step on this ancient
and archetypal journey. Through healing, deepening of
understanding, transformation, and embodiment, the reader will

Most scholars of Judaism take the term "Jewish mysticism" for
granted, and do not engage in a critical discussion of the
essentialist perceptions that underlie it. Mystifying Kabbalah
studies the evolution of the concept of Jewish mysticism. It
examines the major developments in the academic study of Jewish
mysticism and its impact on modern Kabbalistic movements in the
contexts of Jewish nationalism and New Age spirituality. Boaz Huss
argues that Jewish mysticism is a modern discursive construct and
that the identification of Kabbalah and Hasidism as forms of
mysticism, which appeared for the first time in the nineteenth
century and has become prevalent since the early twentieth, shaped
the way in which Kabbalah and Hasidism are perceived and studied
today. The notion of Jewish mysticism was established when western
scholars accepted the modern idea that mysticism is a universal
religious phenomenon of a direct experience of a divine or
transcendent reality and applied it to Kabbalah and Hasidism.
"Jewish mysticism" gradually became the defining category in the
modern academic research of these topics. This book clarifies the
historical, cultural, and political contexts that led to the
identification of Kabbalah and Hasidism as Jewish mysticism,
exposing the underlying ideological and theological presuppositions
and revealing the impact of this "mystification" on contemporary
forms of Kabbalah and Hasidism.

Filled with exercises and techniques, "An Ascension Handbook" is a
practical "how to" manual for ascending Lightworkers. Here is a
practical manual for breaking old patterns, severing from the
"consensus reality," and aligning with Spirit. With precision and a
dry wit, Serapis reveals in today's language what initiates have
known for millennia and how we can use this knowledge during the
tumultuous years ahead. Since "the fall," we have experienced every
aspect of separation, but now the game is over and it's time to
return to the Source. As we return, we must ascend, and Serapis
shows us how to do it with grace, ease and fun.
