Sinossi

Cursed Objects Explained explores the captivating realm of artifacts believed to carry negative energy. It delves into the history, legends, and potential explanations behind these objects' sinister reputations. The book examines how historical events, psychological suggestibility (like the nocebo effect), and cultural narratives intertwine to instill objects with a reputation for misfortune. Did you know that the belief in animism, where spirits inhabit objects, has significantly shaped our perception of cursed items throughout history?

 
The book begins by defining cursed objects and exploring the psychology of belief. It then presents case studies of objects like ill-fated paintings and jewelry associated with bad luck, dissecting their histories and potential rational explanations. A key chapter examines cultural rituals that contribute to curse perceptions.

 
Ultimately, it discusses how our belief in cursed objects reflects our anxieties and influences our understanding of causality. This approach offers a multidisciplinary lens, combining historical analysis, psychological insights, and cultural perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena.

    Sometimes the world knocks us flat on our butt. 
     
     
     
    We feel stretched further than we ever thought physically, emotionally, or spiritually possible. And though we are torn up inside, we feel like we need to keep our chin up and put a good face on things. So we pretend that everything is fine, even though it's not. 
     
     
     
    Even in the hardest times, strength from God rises from deep in our soul to keep us going. In this honest, inspirational, and humorous book, Katie Schnack goes deep into the hard stuff of life with no sugar coating or toxic positivity to find sustenance she could not imagine. Faced with a child's medical challenges in the midst of a global pandemic, having strength to get up in the morning and actually enjoy the day was so unlikely that she knew it had to come from God. Schnack's plucky authenticity shows us how when life is complicated, self-compassion and humor can bring healing and life. 
     
     
     
    Everything Is (Not) Fine looks at the hard realities of life, but also gently reminds us of the good. Even in dark times, we can get glimpses of light.

    A beautiful and engaging rendering of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. 
     
     
      
    The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the oldest and greatest classics of Western spirituality. Until now, the available translations have treated these writings as historical curiosities that have little relevance to our contemporary situations. This new version, made from the hieroglyphs, approaches the Book of the Dead as a profound spiritual text capable of speaking to us today. These writings suggest that the divine realm and the human realm are not altogether separate—they remind us that the natural world, and the substance of our lives, is fashioned from the stuff of the gods. Devoted like an Egyptian scribe to the principle of "effective utterance," Normandi Ellis has produced a prose translation that reads like pure, diaphanous verse.

    In this work, slut-shaming expert Leora Tanenbaum explains that when we criticize young women for wearing body-revealing outfits and sharing sexy selfies, we are losing the plot.Young people are sick of being held responsible for others' inability to keep their eyes off their bodies. They explain that most of the time, they aren't even trying to sexualize themselves—and, when they do, they are taking control over their bodily autonomy.Tanenbaum demonstrates that "sexy" does not mean "inviting sex," and that when young women and nonbinary people embrace a sexualized aesthetic or post sexy pictures, they do so on their own terms.In choosing to wear body-revealing clothing and posting sexy selfies, young people are taking a stand for themselves and against three pillars of nonconsensual sexualization that shape their daily lives: gendered dress codes; nonconsensual sharing of intimate images; the aftermath of sexual harassment and assault.Everyone should be able to stand up for themselves, experience a sense of bodily autonomy, and shape and share their image on their own terms.If you like cultural criticism that supports women of all identities, then you'll love Sexy Selfie Nation.
