Brought to Cuba as slaves, the Yoruba people of West Africa
preserved their religion's heritage by disguising their gods as
Catholic saints and worshipping them in secret. The resulting
religion is known as Santeria, a blend of primitive magic and

Modern science tells us that we are an insignificant accident in a
vast, indifferent universe. Rudolf Steiner maintains instead that
we are intimately enmeshed with the whole cosmos, right down to the
physical structure of our bodies. In these talks, he explores our
relationship as individuals to the spiritual cosmos, in which we
will all become cosmonauts, eventually. The key to being at home in
the universe is to understand the significance of our individual,
physical lives on earth and what happens when we leave our physical
bodies behind.
Steiner encapsulates his view of our journey after death and our
return to earth and a new life. He describes the "planetary"
spheres through which we each pass and their effects on our future.
He shows us how our character and actions on earth affect us after
we die and how those experiences shape our next physical life.
This is not merely information to be added to our already
over-abundant store of abstract concepts: Steiner gives us
imaginative exercises that help us explore our suprasensory, or
spiritual, human nature. We can begin now to act more consciously
by recognizing the concrete nature of morality and the real
consequences of our present lives.
The introduction and comprehensive afterword by Paul Margulies
explain and contextualize Steiner's text, revealing a message that
is more vital and relevant than ever in our frenzied, materialistic
times. This book can help us experience more meaning in life and
become more at home as spiritual citizens of the universe.

San Pedro, a visionary and hallucinogenic brew derived from the
mescaline-based Trichocereus pachanoi or 'cactus of vision', is one
of Peru's most important and powerful teacher plants. For thousands
of years this brew has been drunk by spiritual seekers and those
who need healing, and it has cured a wide variety of physical
problems, including cancer, diabetes, paralysis, and pneumonia, as
well as emotional and psychological issues such as alcoholism,
heartbreak, and grief. Those who work with it say San Pedro brings
us closer to God. Remarkably, however, while other South American
teacher plants such as ayahuasca have been well reported in the
literature, there has been no book specifically written about the
shamanic use of San Pedro - until now. "The Hummingbird's Journey
to God" provides wisdom for the whole of mankind.
Through in-depth analysis of musical theatre choreography and
choreographers, Making Broadway Dance challenges long-held
perceptions of Broadway dance as kitsch, disposable, a dance form
created without artistic process. Setting out to demonstrate that
musical theatre dance is not a monolith but rather multi-varied in
terms of dance styles, aesthetics and methodologies, author Liza
Gennaro provides insights into how Broadway dance is made. By
examining choreography for musical theatre through the lens of
dance studies, script analysis, movement research and dramaturgical
inquiry, she treads in uncharted territory by offering a close
examination of a dance form that has heretofore received only the
most superficial interrogation. She also explores how musical
theatre choreographers create within the parameters of librettos,
enhance character development and build dance languages that inform
and propel narrative. By considering influences from ballet,
modern, postmodern, Jazz, social and global dance, she reveals a
rich understanding of musical theatre dance. This book exposes the
choreographic systems of some of Broadway's most influential
dance-makers including George Balanchine, Agnes de Mille, Jerome
Robbins, Katherine Dunham, Bob Fosse, Savion Glover, Sergio
Trujillo, Steven Hoggett and Camille Brown, and is essential
reading for theatre and dance scholars, students, practitioners,
and Broadway fans.
Is in the kitchen -- the modern hearth -- that we practice our
spiritual concepts for the food that we cook, and the herbs and
aromatics that are used to change consciousness are prepared there.
Iris, the Goddess of the Rainbow, is an often-overlooked goddess in
Greek mythology. As a messenger, she offers us the words and wisdom
of the gods, traveling between worlds to tell us what we need to
know. In Pagan Portals - Iris Goddess of the Rainbow and Messenger
of the Godds, we will explore the mysterious Iris, following the
colors of her magick to inspire our lives.
Pagan Portals: Australian Druidry works as a supplement to the
study of Druidry and other nature-based spiritual paths as
practiced in Australia. The seasons, animals, plants and ancestral
histories of the land in Australia are quite different from those
of the Celtic lands where Druidry originates. Julie Brett discusses
the difficulties of following a nature-based tradition in an
environment wildly different from Druidism's place of origin, and
offers practical information on how to adapt the practice of
Druidry to suit the energy of the land and respect its spirits and
ancestors.
