Summary

Classic words from one of the founding mothers of the modern occult movement. Long considered one of the classics of modern occultism.
The author, Dion Fortune, goes into great detail about an aera of occultism that had been formally regulated to Theosophy, and brings it in line with the western tradition. It seems that sometimes, where the physician is lost with no solutions, the meta-physician might just have the answer.
A wonderful little book able to show an ancient and deep psychology and to give a view of the thought patterns that shaped the magic we practice today. A true gem of this genre.

    Ear Training Course for Guitar:...

    Hi, fellow music lover! Congratulations on starting your music-making journey. I won't waste your time with a long introduction, but let me say a few words just to get us off on the right foot. 
    Ear training is one of the most rewarding skills you can develop, and it’s one that you can work on every day. Which makes total sense: music is an aural experience, after all. Ear training helps you turn the music you hear into music you make on your guitar. This works for your own musical ideas, too: when you dream up a great riff or chord progression, you naturally want to sit down and play it right away. Ear training helps you do just that. 
    This lesson is broken into several chapters, each of them focusing on two or three related scales. There are plenty of examples for each scale, so you can work straight through the lesson or hop around as much as you like. 
    The last chapter is a sort of final exam. It brings together all the scales we’ve covered and mixes them up for an extra challenge. But you don't have to fear that chapter. Just give it a go every once in a while to measure your progress. 
    Best of all, this lesson doesn’t limit itself to dry theory: every concept we discuss here is played on a real guitar by a real guitarist. 
    Oh, and before I forget, the most important tip of all: have fun! 
    What's inside:all commonly used scales, i.e., major, minor, dorian phrygian, lydian, mixolydian, locrian, coveredadditionally, harmonic minor, melodic minor, major pentatonic & minor pentatonic coveredreal guitar recordings throughoutwell chosen scale comparisons, e.g., aeolian vs. dorian, major vs. mixolydian vs. lydian6+ hours of scale recognitionnice & encouraging female narrator

    Born in Krasnoiarsk in 1848, Surikov died in Moscow in 1916. He is one of the great masters of history painting, and he occupies a special place in Russian culture. Like Delacroix, he believed that history was not a pretext for nice painting but an inexorable drama with neither culprits nor innocents but rather people driven by invisible forces. He was very knowledgeable about Russian history, and his paintings deal with crucial moments. He sought in historical events the answers to pressing problems of his time. Here is a book about a painter little-known in the West, analysed with understanding by one of the greatest Russian art critics.
