Decrees, Meditations, and Prayers is a gift from the ascended
masters that will wrap their spiritual vibration around you--and at
the same time will touch your very soul with comfort and love. They
are our sisters and brothers on a very high level of spirituality,
seeing into the future and knowing what is needed for our growth.
These are the living light words that are laid out for you within
these pages.
I have been fortunate and blessed to be able to work with the
blessed masters for more than forty-five years. I am very pleased
to know my past incarnations have also been spiritual workers for
the light. There is no light-switch for me to turn off. I am a
walk-in who is a light worker full time, with the gold ring I see
on the birthing wheel. There are many light workers that have
incarnated at this time to do God's work for mankind, all with
different gifts to be used to battle against the negative energies.
Pick up your blue-flamed sword and join us. Our hand is extended to
you
The Art of Darkness is a visually rich sourcebook featuring
eclectic artworks that have been inspired and informed by the
morbid, melancholic and macabre. Throughout history, artists have
been obsessed with darkness - creating works that haunt and
horrify, mesmerise and delight and play on our innermost fears.
Gentileschi took revenge with paint in Judith Slaying Holofernes
while Bosch depicted fearful visions of Hell that still beguile.
Victorian Britain became strangely obsessed with the dead and in
Norway Munch explored anxiety and fear in one of the most famous
paintings in the world (The Scream, 1893). Today, the Chapman
Brothers, Damien Hirst and Louise Bourgeois, as well as many lesser
known artists working in the margins, are still drawn to all that
is macabre. From Dreams & Nightmares to Matters of Mortality,
Depravity & Destruction to Gods & Monsters - this book
introduces sometimes disturbing and often beautiful artworks that
indulge our greatest fears, uniting us as humans from century to
century. But, while these themes might scare us - can't they also
be heartening and beautiful? Exploring and examining the artworks
with thoughtful and evocative text, S. Elizabeth offers insight
into each artist's influences and inspirations, asking what comfort
can be found in facing our demons? Why are we tempted by fear and
the grotesque? And what does this tell us about the human mind? Of
course, sometimes there is no good that can come from the
sensibilities of darkness and the sickly shivers and sensations
they evoke. These are uncomfortable feelings, and we must sit for a
while with these shadows - from the safety of our armchairs.
Artists covered include Pablo Picasso, Georgia O'Keeffe, Francisco
de Goya, Leonora Carrington, John Everett Millais, Tracey Emin,
Vincent van Gogh, Barbara Hepworth, Paul Cezanne and Salvador Dali,
as well as scores more. With over 200 carefully curated artworks
from across the centuries, The Art of Darkness examines all that is
dark in a bid to haunt and hearten. This book is part of the Art in
the Margins series, following up on The Art of the Occult, which
investigates representations of the mystical, esoteric and occult
in art from across different times and cultures.
The dazzling companion volume to the bestselling MYTHOS. There are heroes - and then there are Greek heroes.
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales. Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera.
Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.
