As in the Heart, So in the Earth: Reversing the Desertification of the Soul and the Soil
by Yehudi Menuhin Pierre RabhiThe world’s leading expert on reversing soil desertification shows how ecology can flourish only when spiritual elements are present• Uses a parable from the African oral tradition to provide a living testimony of what has been lost with the rise of modern technology• Provides a vital account of the strong relationship between soil and soul and how this relationship can be restoredAs in the Heart, So in the Earth is a strong indictment of a civilization that, while seeking domination over the earth, mutilates, tortures, and desacralizes it. For Pierre Rabhi ecology is inseparable from spirituality. He shows how the growing desertification of North Africa is a reflection of the “desert” that is claiming the hearts and souls of the inhabitants of the Western world--how dead soil is mirrored in our deadened souls--and how reconciliation with Mother Earth must be accompanied by relearning our ancestors’ reverence for the soil.Using a traditional African parable grounded in the very wisdom of the earth, Pierre Rabhi seeks to initiate the reader into a time when the people that dwelled on this planet did so harmoniously and could converse easily with the land. Village elder Tyemoro recounts the gradual destruction of his village’s culture and all that has sustained it as the miracles promised by modern technology brought more harm than good. This same drama is recurring throughout the world, where indigenous value systems that have endured for millennia are torn apart by contact with modern civilization. Yet Rahbi offers hope--if those in the modern world will stop to hear the words of their ancestors who worked the land, for our destiny is linked irrevocably to that of the earth.

Asgard. La magia nordica
by Olga Kryuchkova Elena KryuchkovaIl libro proposto al lettore vi presenterà le principali concezioni e pratiche della magia Nordica e precisamente di quella scandinava, germanica e islandese. La magia nordica è l'antica religione delle tribù germaniche e scandinave. Spesso viene chiamata magia runica. Le rune sono simboli antichissimi, che erano utilizzate dagli antichi sacerdoti e maghi per compiere atti magici, predizioni e per preparare talismani. La magia nordica è un sistema di visione del mondo distinto da quello dei popoli del Sud e dell'Est. Nelle rigide condizioni climatiche del Nord gli uomini avevano un'altra filosofia. La magia nordica sottintende alcune correnti. Una delle sue correnti principali è il Troth. Il Troth è un metodo, per mezzo del quale il cercatore viene a conoscenza degli dei e delle dee, delle tradizioni culturali del popolo. Una seconda branca è il Galdr runico. Nel Galdr, in un modo o nell'altro, le rune si applicano sempre. Questa è una particolare tecnica magica, per mezzo della quale il mago modifica il mondo interno o esterno a proprio piacimento. Il Seid è la terza branca della magia nordica. Il Seid non ha niente a che fare con le rune, sebbene in esso si utilizzino diversi segni e simboli insieme ad altre tecniche. I seguaci del Seid cadono in trance e in tal modo comprendono il volere degli dei. Il libro è scritto in una lingua semplice e accessibile. Ed è destinato ad una vasta cerchia di lettori interessati agli antichi insegnamenti occulti, alla storia alternativa, alla mitologia, alla magia runica, alla meditazione, alle antiche usanze, rituali e credenze germano-scandinave. In questo libro le autrici hanno tentato di riunire insieme l'ampio e vario materiale sulla magia Nordica. Farete conoscenza con la sede degli antichi dei nordici, le preghiere agli antichi dei, le saghe dei primi re, le rune germaniche, le formule runiche per i vari casi della vita, i Galdrastafir, la magia femminile della dea Freia, gli anti
Asgard: Northern Magic
by Olga Kryuchkova; Elena KryuchkovaThis book will acquaint you with many of Norse paganism’s key concepts and practices, specifically those originating in Scandinavia, Germany and Iceland. Norse paganism is the ancient religion of the Germanic peoples and is often associated with runic magic. Runes are ancient symbols that were used by the priests and magicians of long ago during the consecration of acts of magic, while predicting the future and during the assembly of amulets. Norse paganism is a lens for viewing the world that differs from those of the people of the South and East; people developed their own philosophy in the harsh climate of the North. There are several branches of Norse paganism, with one of the main ones being Troth. Troth is a path through which an aspirant may learn about the Norse gods and goddesses as well as about the cultural traditions of the Norse people. Another branch is the runic galdr, which revolves heavily around a constant, magic induced transformation of runes. Galdr is a specific magical technique which magicians use to change the inner and outer worlds according to their own desires. Seidhr is yet another branch of Norse paganism. Like Norse runeology, Seidhr involves various signs and symbols and comes with its own set of techniques, but besides that, the two hold very little in common despite popular misconception. Followers of seidhr come under a trance during which they come to understand the will of the gods. This book is written in a simple and comprehensible manner, as it is intended to serve a wide range of readers interested in ancient occultist teachings, alternate history, mythology, runic magic, runic meditation and ancient Germanic and Scandinavian customs, rituals and beliefs. The authors of this book have worked to forge extensive scattered materials on Norse paganism into one complete work. In engaging with the pages of this book, you will become familiar with the realm of the ancient Northern gods, the prayers recited i
Ashamed to Die: Silence, Denial, and the AIDS Epidemic in the South
by Andrew SkerrittBy focusing on a small town in South Carolina, this study of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the South reveals the hard truths of an ongoing and complex issue. Skerritt contends that the United States has failed to adequately address the threat of HIV and AIDS in communities of color and that taboos about love, race, and sexuality--combined with Southern conservatism, white privilege, and black oppression--continue to create an unacceptable death toll. The heartbreak of America's failure comes alive through case studies of individuals such as Carolyn, a wild child whose rebellion coincided with the advent of AIDS, and Nita, a young woman searching for love and trapped in an abusive relationship. The results are most visible at the town's segregated burial ground where dozens of young black men and women who have died from AIDS are laid to rest. Not only a call to action and awareness, this is a true story of how persons of faith, enduring love, and limitless forgiveness can inspire others by serving as guides for poor communities facing a public health threat burdened with conflicting moral and social conventions.
Ashes and Stones: A Journey Through Scotland in Search of Women Hunted as Witches
by Allyson ShawA moving and personal journey, along rugged coasts and through remote villages and cities, in search of the traces of those accused of witchcraft in seventeenth-century Scotland.'It's summer. I stand where perhaps Ellen stood, in this ground thick with new thistle and long grass. She would have kenned this coast in all weathers: in the summer when it was as gentle as a lake and in the winter, with the high winds and stinging salt spray.' In Ashes and Stones we visit modern memorials and standing stones, and roam among forests and hedge mazes, folklore and political fantasies. From fairy hills to forgotten caves, we explore a spellbound landscape. Allyson Shaw untangles the myth of witchcraft and gives voice to those erased by it. Her elegant and lucid prose weaves together threads of history and feminist reclamation to create a vibrant memorial. This is the untold story of the witches' monuments of Scotland and the women's lives they mark. Ashes and Stones is a trove of folklore linking the lives of contemporary women to the horrors of the past, a record of resilience and a call to choose and remember our ancestors.

by Dahlia Sen OberoiAs a new year rounds the corner, Dahlia Sen Oberoi, a hotshot lawyer whose life revolves around court appearances, client meetings and trotting around the globe, finds herself yearning for something more.

Emotions are kept in rein, arrogance gives way to acceptance, and as Dahlia gets used to this new existence, she rediscovers herself in surprisingly new ways.At once profound and humorous, this delightfully candid account of her 30-day-long transformational sojourn will take readers on a joyous and emotionally rich journey. Ashramed is sprinkled with laughter and wisdom, and the assurance that in life, there are no timestamps, that it is always a good idea to take chances and embark on a journey of self-transformation, and most importantly, that it is never too late to do what you love.
