"Heal yourself and in doing so you will heal others. Feel their
pain; don't judge. Offer love and compassion; give of yourself, as
that is when you receive the most for yourself and your dreams"
"DIAL LOVE: God's Planetary Guide for Attaining Happiness
through Spiritual Fulfillment" is a collection of channeled work,
with each channeling conveying a message, one paragraph at a
time.
In 2006, something out of the ordinary occurred. Author Donna
Lynn was preparing for a spiritual workshop when she began to hear
a comforting, gentle, and loving voice. "Heal yourself, and in
doing so you will heal others. Feel their pain; don't judge. Offer
love and compassion; give of yourself, as that is when you receive
the most for yourself and your dreams."
During the following four months, for sixteen consecutive
Wednesdays, Donna continued to receive messages of truth. "Dial
Love" is her endeavor to share those messages with you.
"Dial Love" provides simple truths about divinity and
spirituality. May you find an enlightened approach to the
fulfillment of your life's purpose. You are the miracle that is
waiting to happen. Now is the time to reset your frequency and
"Dial Love."
Prepare thyself! This famous magical grimoire is a powerful tome,
purportedly written by King Solomon, the 10th-century monarch
rumored in legend to be a master magician himself. Deciphered from
ancient documents found in the depths of the British Museum, this
1888 work-translated by one of the most notorious Victorian
occultists-was the first appearance in the English language of the
hidden secrets and potent incantations of the Old Magic. Discover
the archaic mysteries of. . exorcising demons . laying curses .
rendering oneself invisible . making a magic carpet . claiming
treasure possessed by spirits . and much more! British magician and
eccentric SAMUEL LIDDELL MACGREGOR MATHERS (1854-1918) also wrote
The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage and The Kabbalah
Unveiled.
Xpiritual is a book on a pagan controversy of our days. Disguised
as the craze for "spiritual secrets" what we see today is the
revival of an age-old polemic: living with the hidden versus the
need to seize what is hidden. Surreptitious as the glance of Lot's
wife, the search for secrets is the denial of the hidden and the
emotional territory of the subliminal and privilege. Equating
sacred and the search for] secrets as antonyms, Rabbi Bonder
exposes forms of fetishism and idolatry in the mind-set of
consumerism and individualism. This neo-spirituality is portrayed
as pornographic in essence given it is based on the abuse of image
and self-absortion. Paganism is the attitude of affirming
self-value by means of anthropocentric strategies that always rely
either on rationalism or the esoteric. The former is manifest by
indulging in self-justification and self-validation and the latter
on subliminal ego messages infiltrated in the realm of the sacred.
Xpiritual is the presentation of simple and age-old wisdom with a
renewed inspiration for the spiritual quest of our time.
""The End-of-the-World Delusion" is a well-written, thoroughly
researched, and very readable book. Deering's lively narrative
makes complex and complicated topics accessible to the average
reader. He certainly pulled me into his book despite my cynical
view of the topic. Deering offers the reader riveting histories of
end-of-the world beliefs and covers an extraordinary array of
ground in this well-researched book, discussing everything from the
Mayan end-of-times predictions, Christian rapture beliefs,
pandemics, economic doomsday scenarios, and other apocalyptic
predictions."
-Robert Watson, PhD, author/editor of thirty-four books,
including "The Presidents' Wives" and "America's War on Terror"
People from many different corners of civilization seem to be
saying the same thing: the end is near. In The End-of-the-World
Delusion, author Justin Deering explores such scenarios, discussing
why they are not likely to occur or have any visible impact on this
planet within our lifetime.
Providing a thorough analysis, Deering chronicles the numerous
instances of such predictions throughout history, examines frequent
religious and cultural sources of these end-of-world claims,
analyzes the sociological and psychological dynamics and dangers,
and outlines other forms of end-times beliefs, ranging from
religious to pop culture in nature. The End-of-the-World Delusion
provides concrete information that helps evaluate these dubious
assertions, relates how such beliefs have harmed individuals and
society, and talks about why people are inclined to nurture such
beliefs in the first place.
Setting the record straight by detailing the history of failed
doomsdays, Deering shows that nothing can be gained by worrying
about the end of time, and that we must learn a lesson from the
past, live in the present, and plan for the future.
As a Kurd in an increasingly hostile Iraq in the 1970s, David
wanted to fulfill his mother's dream for him: To become a U.S.
citizen-no small feat given that he was not allowed to leave Iraq.
In his own words, David provides unique insights into Iraq under
the rise of Saddam Hussein, and tells of the seemingly
insurmountable obstacles that he overcame to meet this dream, of
his new life in America, and of the many challenges,
disappointments, and betrayals along the way. This is also the
story of how David chose to listen to the lessons of the universe.
Introduced to angels through a meeting with an intuitive, David's
newfound knowledge and his intuition led him to Dr. Wayne Dyer,
Doreen Virtue and Deborah King, and increased his awareness of
"divine orders"-instructions from the universe. David shares his
amazing journey, his connection to God and the angels, his
certification as an angel therapy practitioner, and how he finally
understood that nothing happens by accident. Only by accepting that
the heartache in his life was in divine order did he decide to
trust God and the angels, and realize that there were better things
waiting for him. David has learned how to stand on his own, and
invites you to trust along with him that everything will happen in
divine timing and divine order, including your life's mission.
A marvelous book, at once comprehensive and highly readable, a
fascinating analysis of doomsday cults and apocalyptic anxiety.
--Michael Owen Jones, University of California, Los Angeles The End
of the World As We Know It makes accessible to both scholars and
general readers the amazing panorama of millenarian scenarios
abounding in America at the end of the millennium. --Robert S.
Ellwood, University of Southern California Will stand for some time
as the best survey and analysis of the meaning and place of
apocalypticism and millennialism in American culture. --Religion
and Literature Fascinating and] intelligent . . . should be
required reading. --Psychotronic From religious tomes to current
folk prophesies, recorded history reveals a plethora of narratives
predicting or showcasing the end of the world. The incident at
Waco, the subway bombing by the Japanese cult Aum Supreme Truth,
and the tragedy at Jonestown are just a few examples of such
apocalyptic scenarios. And these are not isolated incidents;
millions of Americans today believe the end of the world is
inevitable, either by a divinely ordained plan, nuclear
catastrophe, extraterrestrial invasion, or gradual environmental
decay, Examining the doomsday scenarios and apocalyptic predictions
of visionaries, televangelists, survivalists, and various other
endtimes enthusiasts, as well as popular culture, film, music,
fashion, and humor, Daniel Wojcik sheds new light on America's
fascination with worldly destruction and transformation. He
explores the origins of contemporary apocalyptic beliefs and
compares religious and secular apocalyptic speculation, showing us
the routes our belief systems have traveled over the centuries to
arrive at the dawn of a new millennium. Included in his sweeping
examination are premillennial prophecy traditions, prophecies
associated with visions of the Virgin Mary, secular ideas about
nuclear apocalypse, the transformation of apocalyptic prophecy in
the post-Cold War era, and emerging apocalyptic ideas associated
with UFOs and extraterrestrials. Timely, yet of lasting importance,
The End of the World as We Know It is a comprehensive cultural and
historical portrait of an age-old phenomenon and a fascinating
guide to contemporary apocalyptic fever. Daniel Wojcik is Associate
Professor of English and Folklore at the University of Oregon and
author of Punk and Neo-Tribal Body Art. He received his Ph.D. in
Folklore and Mythology from the University of California, Los
Angeles.
WITCHCRAFT AND THE BLACK ART - A BOOK DEALING WITH THE PSYCHOLOGY
AND FOLKLORE OF THE WITCHES By J.W. Wickwar. Originally published
in London in the early 1900s, this scarce early work on Witchcraft
is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Obscure
Books Press have now republished it, using the original text and
artwork. The old craft of the witches was a close order. Its
members were sworn to secrecy. Although some records were kept,
very few of these still exist today. In early ecclesiastic and in
mediaeval literature, however, references to witchcraft are
numerous. This book endeavours to set out in an interesting manner
the story of the craft from earliest times. The book's three
hundred and twenty pages contain fourteen comprehensive chapters:
Witchcraft: A Primitive Cult. - Initiation and Ceremony. - Spells,
The Evil Eye, and Possession. - Practical Witchcraft. - Witchcraft
on the Continent. - Werewolves and Vampires. - Blood and Fire in
England. - Demons and Mascots. - Witch Hunting cameos. - A Typical
English Witch Trial. - Witchcraft in America. - Witchcraft
Phantasmagoria. - A Typical Witch Tract. - The Last Phase. This
book will prove a fascinating read for anyone interested in the
occult arts, and will provide much information to historians of
this hitherto arcane subject. "What are these So wither'd, and so
wild in their attire, That look not like the inhabitants o' the
earth. And yet are on't?" Banquo.
Nature mysteries are discovered and shared in the context of this
autobiography from a passionate nature lover. See and learn about
experiences you may not even be able to imagine. See amazing photos
you have never seen before. It is a story of love and hope with
answers to questions many never think of asking.

In The Spirited Kitchen, practicing witchcraft means nurturing a
relationship with the seasons and drawing on ancestral roots to
find magic in small details. Here, simple ingredients-apples,
hazelnuts, wheat-become magical elements of cooking and ritual
crafting. The result is an enchanting culinary journey through the
pagan Wheel of the Year, from the Halloween festivities of Samhain
to the return of autumn at Harvest Home. With each season, readers
can cook feast dinners to celebrate nature's cycles. In winter,
Cranberry Custard Tarts encourage health and well-being; in spring,
Deep Dish Nettle Quiche ushers in resilience after cold months and
Calendula Chicken embodies the abundance of summer. Along the way,
ritual crafts like Salt Spells, hand-woven Offering Baskets and a
Maypole Chandelier bring extra symbolism to the table. Complete
with stunning photographs and a glossary of spirited symbols and
ingredients, this book is a bewitching guide to seasonal magic.
