Ossman & Steel's Classic...

Jake Richards

A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil.Ossman & Steel’s Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day “backwoods” healers interested to use them today. The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, styes, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richard’s hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

The Divine Pastimes Of Lord...

Sripad Jagnnatha Dasa, Vraj Kunj

"O Lord Jagannatha, the crest jewel of the Niladri hill! O supreme Brahman in a wooden form! O dark-hued Lord Shyam! Please be merciful upon me."
Jagannatha, (Sanskrit: “Lord of the World”) is the form under which Krishna is worshipped at Puri, Orissa, India. The 12th-century temple of Jagannatha in Puri towers above the town. In its sanctuary, wooden images represent Jagannatha, his brother Balabhadra (Balarama), and his sister Subhadra. Although Krishna is absolute and transcendental to material nature, to accept the loving service of His devotees, He appears before us as the temple deity in the form of stone, metal, wood, or paint. Jagannatha is a wooden form of Krishna. Jagannatha is no one else but the ecstatic manifestation of Krishna, who appears in His most merciful form to help us go back to Godhead. Therefore, ISKCON founder Srila Prabhupada introduced the Jagannatha Rathayatra in many cities worldwide to uplift the conditioned souls from the spell of Maya (illusion).
Since Lord Jagannatha came to the western world in the mid-1960s millions have embraced the yoga of immersion in his divine pastimes. In this singular rare and unique audiobook, here is everything you need to know about the Bhakti yoga, traditions, and meditational practice of not only Jagannatha but also his brother, Baladev, and his younger sister, Suptra. Written and narrated by a fifty-year devotee of Lord Jagannatha (to whom his guru gave the same name, Sripad Jagannatha Dasa) this is the audiobook for anyone interested in the finer points of yogic philosophy, devotional yoga, and the ancient study of deep self-knowledge. A true treasure from this spiritual plane! Jai Jagannatha!
