"HIS STORY" is a thorough evaluation of religion, from a true
Christian perspective. It begins with the basic Bible stories, and
ends with exposing the secrets behind witchcraft. Since all of us
have fallen asleep on the couch, at one point in time, reading the
Scriptures, he has written the entirety of this book in poetic
format, with the intention of making it more enjoyable, and easier,
to read. Nick has also attempted to add humor, where appropriate,
without disrespecting or disrupting the Lord Jesus or His Word.
Nick resides in the quiet, reclusive Blue Ridge Mountains, with his
lovely girlfriend, Andrea, and their adorable daughter, Harley.
They have a timber wolf hybrid, as their loyal family pet. Though
this is his first book, Nick hopes this initial accomplishment will
serve as a launching pad for a reputable literary career.

adjutant from the first book entitled 'One throughout Eight.' An

"Come to us you who thirst for the nature of reality. Come you who
yearn for yourself. Come brothers of the breach and broken sisters.
Come you who cannot find rest, and who can have no peace." -The
Book of Specularis. This is the second book in a trilogy on the
Sethian Gnostic tradition of today, and it contains a selection of
texts from the Charaxio, the holy book of the organization
Sodalitas Sanctum Seth. This collection of modern Sethian writings
intends to give new perspectives to those who have stumbled upon an
encounter with Metanoia, Our Lady of Unexpected Insight and
Perplexity, and thus perceived the shape of the Mystery. Consider
this entire book as a projective test. As in the field of
psychology, such a test has no meaning in itself: It is you; with
your background, opinions, cultural frame of mind and
self-understanding that determine what you see, or are shown. As in
the previous volume, The Key, it is important to remember that as
you read this book, the book is also reading you.
Explore the history of the witch trials in Connecticut, which
predated the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, by nearly fifty

A scathingly funny, wildly erotic and fiercely imaginative story
about food, sex and god from the Women's Prize longlisted author of
The Pisces A STYLIST, INDEPENDENT, THE WEEK AND RED HIGHLIGHT FOR
2021 'Sexy and fun and a little weird ... This riot of carnal
pleasure will make you laugh as well as gasp' The Times 'A
revelation ... Melissa Broder has produced one of the strangest and
sexiest novels of the new year ... Exhilarating' Entertainment
Weekly 'A luscious, heartbreaking story of self-discovery through
the relentless pursuit of desire. I couldn't get enough of this
devastating and extremely sexy book' Carmen Maria Machado, author
of Her Body and Other Parties Rachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew
who has made calorie restriction her religion. By day, she
maintains an illusion of control by way of obsessive food rituals.
At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. Then Rachel
meets Miriam, a young Orthodox Jewish woman intent upon feeding
her. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam - by her
sundaes and her body, her faith and her family - and as the two
grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors,
mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. Pairing superlative emotional
insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Melissa Broder tells a tale
of appetites: of physical hunger, of sexual desire, of spiritual
longing. Milk Fed is a tender and riotously funny meditation on
love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed,
from one of our major writers on the psyche - both sacred and
profane.
In The Discovery of Witches, Matthew Hopkins - the Witch Finder
General of England during the early 1600s - details the process by
which he found and captured suspected witches. Hopkins' treatise is
comprised of answers to various queries he had received by members
of the public curious about his investigatory techniques in finding
witches. This book answers a total of fourteen queries, with
replies ranging from a few sentences to a few paragraphs in length.
The book is an illustrative portrayal of a society fervently given
to superstitions about the powers of witchcraft. At three hundred
women killed, the efforts of Hopkins and his assistant John Stearne
were prolific. Accorded status, Hopkins encountered opposition to
his witch finding. That his 'investigations' required scant
evidence to secure death sentences dismayed figures in the Church
of England. Today, historians judge Hopkins as an opportunist who
took advantage of unfounded suspicions to advance his own fame.
Kali Kaula is a practical and experiential journey through the land
of living magickal art that is Tantra, guided by the incisive,
inspired and multi-talented hands of Jan Fries. By stripping away
the fantasies and exploring the roots, flowers and fruits of
Tantra, the author provides an outstandingly effective and coherent
manual of practices. Acknowledging the huge diversity of Tantric
material produced over the centuries, Jan Fries draws on several
decades of research and experience and focuses on the early
traditions of Kula, Kaula and Krama, and the result is this
inimitable work which shines with the light of possibility. Unique
in style and content, this book is more than a manual of tantric
magick, it is a guide to the exploration of the inner soul. It
contains the most lucid discussions of how to achieve liberation in
the company of numerous Indian goddesses and gods, each of whom
brings their own lessons and gifts to the dedicated seeker. It is
also an eloquent introduction to the mysteries of the great goddess
Kali, providing numerous views of her manifold nature, and showing
the immense but hidden role played throughout history by women in
the development and dissemination of tantric practices and
beliefs.Jan Fries explores the spectrum of techniques from mudra to
mantra, pranayama to puja, from kundalini arousal to purification
to sexual rites, and makes them both accessible and relevant,
translating them out of the Twilight Language of old texts and
setting them in the context of both personal transformation and the
historical evolution of traditions. The web of connections between
Tantra and Chinese Alchemy and Taoism are explored as the author
weaves together many of the previously disparate strands of
philosophies and practices. This book challenges the reader to
dream, delight, and develop, and provides an illustrated guidebook
on how to do so. Bliss awaits those who dare.
