Beschreibung

This profound treatise on ethics establishes the concept of the highest good for human beings, which Aristotle identifies as Eudaimonia, or flourishing happiness. He argues that virtue is a habit, a mean between the extremes of excess and deficiency, cultivated through practice and reason. The work explores the nature of friendship, pleasure, and the role of contemplation in achieving a well-lived life. It provides a practical guide to moral character, emphasizing that the goal of ethics is not just to know what is good, but to become good.

    The Confessions of Fiona by Steve Blamires details the beliefs, stories, and tenets of the Sidhe as revealed by one of the Sidhe, Fiona Macleod. For twelve years, this faery woman laid out the entire mythology, pantheon, and rituals of the faeries themselves. This volume reveals, expands, and explains what we can learn from her.  The Secrets of the Sidhe Revealed!  In 1893, the Scottish writer and mystic William Sharp (1855–1905) started writing under the name Fiona McLeod. The name Fiona did not exist before then, at least not in our world. For the following twelve years, Fiona wrote profusely of her own tradition; that is, the mythology and deities that the faeries recognize. None of these myths, legends, gods, or goddesses were known to humans prior to Fiona’s revelations.   Steve Blamires presents those concepts in his new book, The Confessions of Fiona. He has studied the esoteric faery tradition for thirty years. He presents a unique ritual system; previously unknown myths, legends, and gods and goddesses, offering insight to the modern researcher of this fascinating nonhuman magical body of work. Woven into the legends that the faeries share is a whole ritual magical tradition that humans can emulate with a basic knowledge of the Western magical tradition, the four festivals, the four magical tools, and what has come to be known as pathworking. But they are all significantly different from our human perspective.   Faeries are large, shockingly powerful, and, at times, cruel and dangerous. Steve shows how and when these mighty beings of ancient times were literally shrunken to become the Tinkerbells of popular imagery. Because of this important change of perspective, Steve includes in this book an in-depth look at the faery god Dalua—a truly dark, dangerous god but a necessary one.   To help readers access more of Fiona McLeod’s writings and teachings, Steve has included an appendix detailing all her essential works and scores of relevant direct quotations throughout the book.

    The Carolingian Renaissance -...

    The Carolingian Renaissance was a pivotal moment in European history, marking a revival of learning, culture, and intellectual activity during the reign of Charlemagne and his successors. To fully appreciate this movement, it is essential to understand the historical context from which it emerged. In the centuries following the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Europe experienced a period of cultural and intellectual decline often referred to as the Dark Ages. Classical texts were lost or neglected, education was limited, and much of the knowledge from antiquity was confined to isolated monastic communities. 
    Charlemagne, who became King of the Franks in 768 and later Emperor of the Carolingian Empire in 800, envisioned a unified Christian realm grounded in both faith and knowledge. He recognized that in order to strengthen his empire, he needed educated clergy, literate administrators, and a shared cultural foundation rooted in Roman and Christian traditions. Inspired by this vision, Charlemagne initiated a series of reforms aimed at restoring learning and promoting intellectual growth throughout his territories. This commitment to education and scholarship laid the groundwork for the Carolingian Renaissance. 
    One of the most significant influences on this movement was the Church. As the central institution of medieval Europe, the Church played a crucial role in preserving what remained of classical knowledge. Monasteries, in particular, became the hubs of literacy, where monks copied ancient manuscripts and engaged in theological study. Charlemagne capitalized on this religious infrastructure by encouraging the establishment and reform of monastic schools. These institutions became centers of education not just for future monks, but also for clergy and even lay officials serving in the empire.

You will be only half of what you are. The awakened one is one that loves all. And that is to love the all inside of yourself. And that is one who flies and falls, goes left and right, up and down, heavy and light, dark and light. One that knows that they are the whole palette but understands equally that within that palette that are human.""See those that appear ignorant clearly by seeing their fear. For when you see their fear you will not see them as other, you will not see them as separate and ignorant, you will see them as beings in fear. And, when you understand they are in fear, and that they are not being driven by some nefarious force of darkness, then you will see that they are just loving beings in fear and you will be able to love them—then you will discover the compassion, the compassion of the awakened one,"

    The '91 Louisiana Governor's race was supposed to be forgettable. But when former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke shocked the nation by ousting incumbent Republican Governor Buddy Roemer in the primary, the world took notice. Democrat Edwin Edwards, a former three-term governor and two-time corruption defendant, was left alone to face Duke in the general election—and he was going to lose. 
     
     
     
    Then a little-known state committeewoman stepped in with evidence of Duke's nefarious past. Could her evidence be enough to sway the minds of fired-up voters, or would Louisiana welcome a far-right radical into the highest office in the state? 
     
     
     
    Journalist Brian Fairbanks explores how the final showdown between Duke and Edwards in November 1991 led to a major shift in our national politics, as well as the rise of the radical right and white supremacist groups, and how history repeated itself in the 2016 presidential election. The story of these political "wizards," almost forgotten by history, remains eerily prescient and disturbingly relevant.
