The Eleusinian Mysteries were the most prestigious initiation of
the ancient world. The ritual’s secrets were protected by death
vows and have been speculated about for more than 4,000 years. The
nine-day festival was run by a group of women called Melissae, or
“bees”: married women, second only in rank to the Priestess of
Athena Polias, who presided over Athens. They amassed incredible
wealth, fame, and political status. Temple accounts from the period
reveal that it was the priestesses’ money that paid for Greece's
glorious architecture. Fees were earned for sacrifices and granting
access to divinity. In return, the priestess made Greece a
magnificent place to live. Oracles, diviners, soul midwives and
creatrixes of innumerable festivals, these women ensured that the
city-state kept favour with the goddess. They achieved that by
emulating the ways of the world’s most successful matriarchal
community, a bee colony. Herbal textbooks speak of a relationship
between these women and the Lemon Balm herb (Melissa officinalis).
Journey into the past and into the enchanting dreamscape of the
hive with aromatherapist Elizabeth Ashley. A delightful odyssey for
anyone interested in herbal wisdom, ancient Greek history, female
empowerment, and humankind’s greatest allies, the bees.

Rand was puzzled at first as to why these persistent young spirits
wanted to speak through her-she had no children of her own and the
responsibility of talking with people who had lost theirs seemed
too great to bear. But the compelling answers came to her with time
and patience: No one finds death more inexplicable than a parent
who has lost their child, thus no group of spirits are more
motivated to make sense of it all for those they've left behind
than the young ones. These spirits clearly wanted to heal broken
hearts and change our views of life and death and Rand has the
unique ability to help educate others about their important
message. Through her, young spirits talk freely about how to make
sense of murder, suicide, and accidental deaths (even those that
occurred at the hands of loved ones). They also discuss the
different ways relationships on both sides can be mended, and how
the inter-generational cycle of abuse and addiction can be stopped
once and for all. They introduce us to the concept of 'joy
guides'-miscarried and aborted children who actually help those
they've left behind move forward. The comments they share in this
uniquely comforting and enlightening book will surprise, inform,
and inspire. Not only do they answer our many questions about
death, they also succeed in revealing incredibly valuable tips for
living a better life while on earth too.

Cunningham's classic introduction to Wicca is about how to live
life magically, spiritually, and wholly attuned with nature. It is
a book of sense and common sense, not only about magick, but about
religion and one of the most critical issues of today: how to
achieve the much needed and wholesome relationship with our Earth.
Cunningham presents Wicca as it is today: a gentle, Earth-oriented
religion dedicated to the Goddess and God. "Wicca "also includes
Scott Cunningham's own Book of Shadows and updated appendices of
periodicals and occult suppliers.
In The Secrets of Alchemy, Lawrence M. Principe, one of the world's
leading authorities on the subject, brings alchemy out of the
shadows and restores it to its important place in human history and
culture. By surveying what alchemy was and how it began, developed,
and overlapped with a range of ideas and pursuits, Principe
illuminates the practice. He vividly depicts the place of alchemy
during its heyday in early modern Europe, and then explores how
alchemy has fit into wider views of the cosmos and humanity,
touching on its enduring place in literature, fine art, theater,
and religion as well as its recent acceptance as a serious subject
of study for historians of science. In addition, he introduces the
reader to some of the most fascinating alchemists, such as Zosimos
and Basil Valentine, whose lives dot alchemy's long reign from the
third century down to the present day. Through his exploration of
alchemists and their times, Principe pieces together closely
guarded clues from obscure and fragmented texts to reveal alchemy's
secrets, and - most exciting for budding alchemists - uses them to
recreate many of the most famous recipes in his lab, including
those for the "glass of antimony" and "philosophers' tree." This
unique approach brings the reader closer to the actual work of
alchemy than any other book.

depth to an exciting fantasy series. In a world where everyone is

dare to fly too high. In the Clandoms, everyone is born with wings,
with tight-knit communities formed around bird types: Jay, Falcon,
Crow. Ellie Meadows dreams of growing up to join the Goldwings -
the famed knights who defend all the people of the Clandoms. It was
a Goldwing, after all, who saved her life on that terrible day her
parents were killed. There's just one problem: Ellie is a Sparrow,
and the Goldwings are almost invariably picked from the higher
clans like Eagles and Ospreys. This rigid hierarchy means that
Ellie is destined to become a farmer. Determined to honor her
parents' memories and prove herself worthy of the Goldwings, Ellie
sets out on her own for the capital. But her journey will be
dangerous. Foul creatures called gargols lurk behind every cloud,
ready to slay anyone unlucky enough to be caught outside in a storm
- just as Ellie's family was. Soon her path intertwines with a
colorful band of fellow outcasts, each with their own
aspirations... and their own secrets. Ellie's new friends offer not
just roadside companionship. They'll challenge her ideas of right,
wrong, and what truly makes a hero. Fast-paced, highly imaginative
middle grade fantasy Perfect for fans of Wings of Fire Explores
