    Spiritualism in the Age of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe 
     
     
     
    A woman wearing a black veil convenes a séance. A magician puts a volunteer into a trance. A fortune-teller leans over a crystal ball. Everyone knows what Victorian mysticism looks like because our modern imagery, language, and practice of magic borrows heavily from the Victorians. But we have little understanding of its spiritual, cultural, and historical foundations. 
     
     
     
    What made the Victorians turn to mediumship, hypnotism, and fortune-telling? What were they afraid of? What were they seeking? 
     
     
     
    This book explores the history of automatic writing, cartomancy, clairvoyance, and more. It reveals how Victorian belief in ghosts, fairies, and nature spirits shaped our celebrations of Halloween and Christmas. With historic examples and hands-on exercises, you will discover how spiritualism in the time of Jack the Ripper, Jane Eyre, "A Christmas Carol," and Dracula left such a profound impact on both the past and present.

    Let's face it: anxiety can interfere with every single aspect of your life, from work and family to relationships and finances. Left unchecked, the cycle of anxiety reinforces and perpetuates itself over time, and can leave you feeling paralyzed with fear. 
     
     
     
    In What Happened to Make You Anxious?, anxiety expert Jaime Castillo offers a whole new approach; one that focuses less on avoiding or extinguishing anxiety, and more toward understanding and working with it to create a fulfilling, meaningful life. You'll learn how your anxiety is connected to what Castillo refers to as "little 't' traumas"—seemingly small, unhealed traumas from your past that drive your fear and worry, so you can get to the root of your anxiety and start healing. 
     
     
     
    Your anxiety works overtime communicating perceived threats; this book will show you how to listen to anxiety, discern which threats are real, which don't fit the actual facts of the situation, and which are triggered by past events. 
     
     
     
    You've tried managing it on your own. You may have even received treatment. If you're at your wit's end when it comes to your anxiety, this book will show you a new path toward lasting relief.

    Composed of 81 short chapters, "Tao Te Ching" offers poetic and enigmatic verses that invite deep contemplation. Laozi emphasizes the concept of Wu Wei (non-action), advocating for naturalness, simplicity, and alignment with the flow of the universe. The text delves into themes of humility, spontaneity, and the balance between opposites, such as yin and yang. 
    Lionel Giles' translation, first published in 1904, brings the essence of Laozi's teachings to English-speaking readers, preserving the cryptic beauty and philosophical richness of the original text. "Tao Te Ching" continues to inspire seekers of wisdom and seekers of spiritual enlightenment across cultures and generations.
