What can the starry skies tell you about yourself and others? More
than you might imagine. For over four thousand years, people have
watched the skies, correlating the movements of the Sun, the Moon,
and the planets with human affairs. Astrology for Dummies shows the
reader how to use that accumulated wisdom to identify strengths and
weaknesses, discover creative abilities, understand relationships,
and make the most of the times in which we live. Using an abundance

of each sign and planet, taking the reader far beyond the daily
horoscope and illuminating the birth chart in all its individuality
and complexity. Astrology for Dummies examines the time-honored
ways astrology helps us understand ourselves and others. From how
to map and interpret individual horoscopes to building and reading
birth charts, Astrology For Dummies provides you with the tools to
apply the art of astrology to your everyday life. Explore the long,
multi-cultural, occasionally bloody history of astrology Discover
useful advice about romance, career, and wellness Find the creative
potential to be found in every sign and every birth chart Unravel
the mysteries behind Mercury retrograde and other celestial
phenomena Delve into the horoscopes of dozens of famous (and
infamous) people, both past and present Investigate different ways
to align yourself with the cosmos. Astrology hasn't been around for
millennia for nothing. It's a practical tool, a symbolic language,
a way to expand awareness, a means to increase empathy, and an
exploration that touches the soul. Whether you want to learn about
yourself, understand others, or glimpse the opportunities and
challenges that lie ahead, the answers are here -- and in the
stars!
With both pen and camera lens, Orion Carloto captures the dreamlike
beauty of memory. Film for Her is a story book of people, places,
and memories captured on film. Through photographs, poetry, prose,
and a short story, Orion Carloto invites readers to remember the
forgotten and reach into the past, find comfort in the present, and
make sense of the intangible future. Film photography isn’t just
eye candy; it’s timeless and romantic—the ideal complement to
Carloto’s writing. In Film for Her, much like a visual diary,
word and image are intertwined in a book perfect for both gift and
self-purchase.

"YouTube Mastermind" Orion Carloto turns raw emotion into powerful,
digestible verse in her debut collection of poetry. Flux is a
somber narrative, an ode to change, a collection of poetry and
prose written from the many states of grief over a broken heart.
With original illustrations by artist Katie Roberts, Orion Carloto
creates a dream world for the brokenhearted and paints a whimsical
picture around the themes of love, loss, solitude, depression, sex,
nostalgia, and unrequited romance. Flux takes readers through a raw
and sorrowful journey of each and every bitter moment of
heartbreak. Forewarning, Flux is best read with a warm cup of
coffee in hand.
Consensual nonmonogamy (CNM) means that all partners in a
relationship consent to expanded monogamy or polyamory. Clinicians
are on the front line in providing support for the estimated
millions pioneering these modern relationships. This first
available guide for therapists provides answers to prevalent
questions: What is the difference between expanded monogamy and
polyamory? Is CNM healthy and safe? Why would someone choose the
complexities of multiple partners? What about the welfare of
children? Through illustrative case studies from research and
clinical practice, therapists will learn to assist clients with CNM
agreements, jealousy, sex, time, family issues, and much more. A
Therapist's Guide to Consensual Nonmonogamy serves as a step
forward toward expanding standard clinical training and helps
inform therapists who wish to serve the CNM population.
The philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty was developing into a
radical ontology when he died prematurely in 1961. Merleau-Ponty
identified this nascent ontology as a philosophy of incarnation
that carries us beyond entrenched dualisms in philosophical
thinking about perception, the body, animality, nature, and God.
What does this ontology have to do with the Catholic language of
incarnation, sacrament, and logos on which it draws? In Things Seen
and Unseen, Orion Edgar argues that Merleau-Ponty's philosophy is
dependent upon a logic of incarnation that finds its roots and
fulfillment in theology, and that Merleau-Ponty drew from the
Catholic faith of his youth. Merleau-Ponty's final abandonment of
Christianity was based on an understanding of God that was
ultimately Kantian rather than orthodox. As such, Merleau-Ponty's
philosophy suggests a new kind of natural theology, one that
grounds an account of God as ipsum esse subsistens in the questions
produced by a phenomenological account of the world. This
philosophical ontology also offers Christian theology a route away
from dualistic compromises and back to its own deepest insight.

In this groundbreaking work, Claude Calame argues that the songs
sung by choruses of young girls in ancient Greek poetry are more
than literary texts; rather, they functioned as initiatory rituals
in Greek cult practices. Using semiotic and anthropologic theory,
Calame reconstructs the religious and social institutions
surrounding the songs, demonstrating their function in an aesthetic
education that permitted the young girls to achieve the stature of
womanhood and to be integrated into the adult civic community. This
first English edition includes an updated bibliography.

Journey through the countryside in this magical realist debut from
an underground Chinese cartoonist In Night Bus, a young woman
wearing round glasses finds herself on an adventurous late night
bus ride that constantly makes detours through increasingly
fantastical landscapes. Meanwhile a young cartoonist returns home
after art school and tries his hand at becoming a working artist
while watching over his aging grandmother whose memory is
deteriorating. Nostalgic leaps take us to an elementary school
gymnasium that slowly morphs into a swamp and is raided by a giant
catfish. Beetles, salamanders, and bug-eyed fish intrude upon the
bus ride of the round-glasses woman as the night stretches on.
Night Bus blends autobiography, horror, and fantasy into a
vibrantly detailed surreal world that shows a distinct talent
surveying his past. Nature infringes upon the man-made world via
gigantism and explosive abundance-the images in Night Bus are often
unsettling, not aimed to horrify, but to upset the balance of
modern life. Zuo Ma is part of a burgeoning Chinese art comics
scene that pushes emotion to the forefront of the story while
playing with action and dreams.
In this volume, contributions covering the theoretical and
practical aspects of multicomponent crystals provide a timely and
contemporary overview of the state-of-the art of this vital aspect
of crystal engineering/materials science. With a solid foundation
in fundamentals, multi-component crystals can be formed, for
example, to enhance pharmaceutical properties of drugs, for the
specific control of optical responses to external stimuli and to
assemble molecules to allow chemical reactions that are generally
intractable following conventional methods. Contents Pharmaceutical
co-crystals: crystal engineering and applications Pharmaceutical
multi-component crystals: improving the efficacy of
anti-tuberculous agents Qualitative and quantitative crystal

An in-depth exploration of the practice, relevance, and purpose of
spirit marriage around the world * Presents interviews with ten
contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage, exploring how the
relationship developed and the opportunities and challenges *
Discusses the author's own spirit marriage, including her awakening
as an erotic mystic and her encounters with her Faery beloved *
Explains how to cultivate a spirit marriage, sharing precautions
and practices to spiritually prepare yourself and navigate the
potential challenges of spirit marriage Exploring the phenomenon of
the spirit spouse or spirit lover--an entity to which a human is
psychically bonded--Megan Rose, Ph.D., examines the practice and
purpose of spirit marriage around the world, presenting
transcultural evidence of this form of sacred union in
anthropological research, religious literature, mythology,
folklore, and the oral tradition. She shares her in-depth
interviews with ten contemporary practitioners of spirit marriage,
including a Faery Seer, a Shakta Tantric, a West African Shrine
Keeper, a New Orleans Voodoo Mambo, Haitian Vodou practitioners,
and a ceremonial magician. Through these respectful interviews, the
spirit-marriage practitioners tell their stories of initiation and
of having a spouse who is both otherworldly and able to assist in
waking- world activities. They offer intimate insight into this
growing global practice and its larger evolutionary purpose. We
learn about their experiences of first contact, the decision to
marry, how the relationship is upheld by their community, and the
impact on their other relationships. We also learn about the risks
and challenges as well as one example of divorcing a spirit.
Sharing her personal experience, the author discusses in detail her
own spirit marriage, including the erotic nature of being "spirit
filled" and her encounters with her Faery beloved. She explains how
to cultivate a spirit marriage, sharing precautions and practices
to spiritually prepare yourself, interpret your paranormal
encounters, and navigate the potential challenges of spirit
marriage. Presenting the first study of the transcultural,
shamanistic practice of spirit marriage, this book shows how bonded
relationships with spirits are needed now more than ever to assist
with spiritual evolution.

The future isn't here yet. But don't worry. It will be.
Welcome to Orion's Arm, a scenario set thousands of years in the
future where civilization spans the stars. Godlike ascended
intelligences rule vast interstellar empires, and lesser factions
seek to carve out their own dominions through intrigue and
conquest. And out beyond the edge of civilized space and the human
friendly worlds, adventure awaits those prepared to risk all.
Collected here for your consideration are five stories exploring
the Orion's Arm universe, spanning years and light-years to examine
a vast and diverse future from its beginnings in the dying Solar
System to its continuing advance toward an uncertain destiny.
About the Orion's Arm Universe Project
Orion's Arm is a work in progress, a space opera setting like no
other. It spans the next ten thousand years of galactic history,
from the near future interplanetary colonization to the far future
where the galaxy is ruled by vast ascended intelligences. It
incorporates hard science, and the "soft" or social sciences, as
well as the mythological, archetypal themes, as the gods of the
collective psyche incarnate in unforeseen new forms.
Like all good art, this project is ever growing, and will therefore
never be complete. We invite you to join us on this journey of
imagination; after all it looks like we've barely gotten started,
and there are still many worlds left to explore.
