  In this third and final book of The Magus, Francis Barrett turns from magical practice to magical history—presenting a rare and invaluable compendium of the great minds who shaped Western occult philosophy. 
  Book III offers concise biographical accounts of dozens of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance adepts, including Zoroaster, Hermes Trismegistus, Pythagoras, Paracelsus, Roger Bacon, Agrippa, and more. These are the sages, mystics, alchemists, astrologers, and magicians whose teachings laid the foundation for everything in The Magus. 
  Far more than a bibliography, this is a spiritual lineage—a transmission of ideas and inspiration across generations. By exploring the lives and writings of these visionaries, Barrett reveals the continuity of esoteric wisdom through the centuries and situates his own work within a long tradition of initiates and seekers. 
  Whether you're a student of occult history or a practitioner of the arts, Book III offers insight into the intellectual and spiritual giants upon whose shoulders modern magic stands. Their philosophies echo across time—and this volume preserves their legacy.

  Battle of Kadesh The: The...

  Many battles fought in antiquity remain famous thousands of years later, such as Marathon, Thermopylae, and Cannae, mainly due to the belligerents involved and the ways in which the battles changed the course of history. However, even as people are fascinated by the Egyptians, one of the most important battles in antiquity has also been one of the most overlooked: the Battle of Kadesh, fought by Ramesses II against the Hittites.  
  	For one thing, it is the earliest known pitched battle to be documented, and the number of troops deployed by both the Egyptians and Hittites may have made it the largest battle ever fought up until that point in time. The organization of the forces, especially the Egyptians, is another intriguing aspect of this battle, because the Egyptians organized their units into divisions, which may be the first such case in history or simply the first time the organization was recorded. 
  	Arguably the most famous aspect of the battle is that it was passed down in ways that barely aligned with reality. Surrounded and swiftly outnumbered, most of the Egyptian soldiers were killed in the battle, and Ramesses II was forced to retreat in order to survive. What is known of the rest of the battle is that the pharaoh rallied his forces, fought on through the battlefield in order to evade capture and death, and managed to get away with only with a fraction of his troops, while the majority of his army lay slain on the field of battle that he left behind him. 
  	Nonetheless, the battle essentially ended in a stalemate, after which there was a period of extended peace and eventually an alliance between the Egyptians and Hittites. The ensuing peace also helped to solidify the Late Bronze Age Near Eastern geopolitical system modern scholars often refer to as the “Great Powers Club,” during which the most powerful empires of the Near East tended to use diplomacy instead of warfare to settle their differences.

  “In this short story, you will see the tender heart of love and careful words of instruction of Mother. The law of kindness is on Mother’s tongue. She demonstrates watchful protection over Cammy and Sammy as she daily is in their presence. Parents can easily relate the mother’s heart, akin to the heart of Jesus as He is to His children. A wonderful and useful book. Had I had this book when my children were small, I certainly would have made use of it. I highly recommend this for all ages!” Patti Roberts- married homeschooling mother of seven with growing number of grand babies.“Mara-lee has given us a tremendous gift. Christians throughout history have systematically taught the faith to their children. This practice of systematic training in a catechism has become largely neglected by the Church in the last generation. Mara-lee’s hope is to bridge the gap between the old ways of training our kids up in solid doctrine, allowing them to wrestle with the deep things of God, and modern children’s story telling. I hope many find her work to be a blessing to the spiritual life of their children and a warm treasure in their home during the intimate times as the family gathers.” Pastor Jeff Durbin- married father of four, sought after for his debate skills and also the main host of ApologiaRadio.com“Mara-lee has peeked into a child’s inquiring mind and has given solid answers to questions about how to hear and respond to God’s voice. Children will love the way Cammy’s Adventures introduces them to new experiences in their lives. This delightful book will be a great tool for opening up discussions both at home and in the classroom.” Donna Lapp- married mother of 3, grandmother of 13 and great grandmother of 10. She is also a retired elementary grade school teacher.
