On a stormy night in 1813, a doctor is called to the aid of two prostitutes in childbirth. To one is born a healthy girl, Henriette, to the other, what can only be described as a monster: a boy, Hercules, deaf-mute and hideously deformed, and with the power to read minds. As he tells the story of Hercules' bizarre and colourful life, which leads him from the bordello of his birth to a travelling freak show and then a Jesuit monastery and an asylum, Vallgren paints a magical picture of nineteenth-century Europe. This picaresque fable is filled with curiosities but is, at its heart, an extraordinary and unforgettable love story. Product details Format Paperback | 288 pages

Das Buch ist das erste Trauerbegleitungsbuch, das die Erkenntnisse der aktuellen neurobiologischen Forschung nutzt, um den Ausnahmezustand von Körper und Psyche in dieser Situation allgemeinverständlich zu beschreiben. Aus dem Wissen überdiese Vorgänge leiten die Autoren zahlreiche, in der Praxis bewährte Umgangsmöglichkeiten ab. In der 3. erweiterten Auflage ihres Buches »Trauern mit Leib und Seele« setzen die beiden Autoren den besonderen Akzent, dass es in der Trauer nicht nur um harte »Trauer-Arbeit« geht, mit dem schweren Verlust eines sehr nahen Menschen umzugehen; ebenso wichtig sind Ruhe, Entspannung, Erholung und ermutigende Erfahrungen. Neurobiologische Erkenntnisse zeigen, dass unser Leib selbst vielfältige Schutzmöglichkeiten bereitstellt, Leben in der Krise zu bewahren. Das Mitteilen von Gefühlen kann entlasten und befreien. Andererseits machen seelische und oft auch leibliche Schmerzen immer wieder darauf aufmerksam, dass eine Bearbeitung des entsetzlichen Verlustes notw

Throughout my many years in the occult, I recall many wonderful things. I was enamored by so many different systems that I just had to try them all. For the most part, I did. Some with great success and some not so much. One aspect of the magickal practices that really interested me was the use of talismanic or seal magick. I used all kinds of talisman, and each had its own energy and feel. However, I found the Seals of Solomon (also known as the Talismans of Solomon or the Pentacles of Solomon) to be very interesting. Partly because there is so much information about them, finding the information was a breeze. Well, as easy as it could be in the early 80s. Now one can find almost everything about them on-line. There is one problem though, the information on-line and in many books on the subject are very difficult to understand, and as you may have guessed, if you have read my other books, I don't use conventional methods when I preform magick. I found the convoluted and difficult

Im Schatten des Black-Metal-Mainstreams hat sich eine Underground-Szene aus Bands, Fans und Magazinen entwickelt, die sich zwischen Satanismus, Heidentum und offener Glorifizierung des Nationalsozialismus bewegt. Die Anhänger eines sozialdarwinistisch geprägten Satanismus beanspruchen als selbsternannte 'Elite' ein 'Recht des Stärkeren' und propagieren die Vernichtung all dessen, was in ihren Augen schwach ist. Um sich vom Christentum abzugrenzen, begeben sich andere Musiker auf die spirituelle Suche nach ihren 'eigenen' Wurzeln. Sie erheben das germanische Heidentum zur Heilsreligion, fordern ein Leben nach vermeintlichen Gesetzen der Natur und die Vertreibung derer, die nicht ihren Vorstellungen entsprechen. Obgleich von der Öffentlichkeit weniger beachtet, haben die extrem rechten Bands des Genres unter dem Label NS-Black-Metal den Schulterschluss mit ihren 'Brüdern im Geiste', den neonazistischen Skinheads, längst vollzogen.

Poetry. Women's Studies. In WHAT MY FATHER TAUGHT ME, Maria Giura writes richly and candidly about growing up Italian-American Catholic from her earliest days as the daughter of immigrant parents and a workaholic father to her coming of age and onward into adulthood where she works at reconciling the sensual and spiritual. Her poems are a celebration in the face of love and loss. They are at once intimate and universal, serious and light, and are grounded in the Brooklyn, New York that she cherished and called home: from her parents' pastry shoppe, to the view from the Belt Parkway, to the family living room where [she] learned to pull out the microphone, even though it was always broken, and sing.

'Important, necessary, urgent and phenomenally interesting' HELEN MACDONALD, New York Times ONE OF THE SUNDAY TIMES 'BOOKS OF 2021' The author of the international bestseller The Sixth Extinction returns to humanity's transformative impact on the environment, now asking: after doing so much damage, can we change nature, this time to save it? Elizabeth Kolbert has become one of the most important writers on the environment. Now she investigates the immense challenges humanity faces as we scramble to reverse, in a matter of decades, the effects we've had on the atmosphere, the oceans, the world's forests and rivers - on the very topography of the globe. In Under a White Sky, she takes a hard look at the new world we are creating. Along the way, she meets biologists who are trying to preserve the world's rarest fish, which lives in a single tiny pool in the middle of the Mojave desert; engineers who are turning carbon emissions to stone in Iceland; Australi

Now a New York Times Bestseller! "A riveting and absolutely fascinating adventure that will blow your mind wide open!" --Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi Deepak Chopra joins forces with leading physicist Menas Kafatos to explore some of the most important and baffling questions about our place in the world. What happens when modern science reaches a crucial turning point that challenges everything we know about reality? In this brilliant, timely, and practical work, Chopra and Kafatos tell us that we've reached just such a point. In the coming era, the universe will be completely redefined as a "human universe" radically unlike the cold, empty void where human life is barely a speck in the cosmos. You Are the Universe literally means what it says--each of us is a co-creator of reality extending to the vastest reaches of time and space. This seemingly impossible proposition follows from the current state of science, where outside the public eye, some key mysteries cannot be
