Synopsis

Why do we imagine witches wearing black pointy hats and flying on broomsticks? Why does the number three have such mystical importance? What are fairies and elves and where do they come from? And what prompted the witch-hunt craze of the early modern period?
 
Witches, Spells & Magic answers all these questions and more, exploring our fascination with myth and magic throughout history. From ancient Egyptian sorcerers to witchcraft and Christianity to the Land of Oz, the book reveals the historical importance and cultural legacy of myth and magic. Discover the roots of the Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings stories; learn how the wanderings of Homer’s Odysseus, the legend of King Arthur, and the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm provided guidance for people living in often brutal times. And trace the representation of witches and warlocks throughout art — with historical illustrations that bring the subject to life.
 
Today we may know the difference between magic and reality, but we can still enjoy these stories as a source of comfort and as a way to understand unexplained events. For anyone intrigued by magical lore, Witches, Spells & Magic is a true companion.

    Offers concrete ways to navigate the uncertainty of freelancing to build a life that is financially and emotionally rewarding. 
     
     
     
    In The Freelance Mindset we discover our illusions about the way we work are just that—stories we make up, or, worse, stories that were made up for us. The current way of work is, in fact, not working for us, but there is another path forward: one that leverages our innate creativity and human need to make a living. 
     
     
     
    Listeners here discover what pulls us toward freelancing, develop tools to meet its challenges, and realize that we can succeed as either freelancers or traditional employees. What we cannot do is go back to seeing the world in the limited nine-to-five way we once did. 
     
     
     
    Author Joy Batra compares traditional employment with the freelance lifestyle and keenly observes the gaps between the two. She shares concrete ways to help current and future freelancers navigate the uncertainty of freelancing in order to build a life that is both financially and emotionally rewarding.

    “A fascinating, comprehensive, and accessible exploration of life’s most fundamental questions. If you’re wondering who we are and why we’re here, this book is a great place to start.” —Mark Gober, award-winning author of An End to Upside Down Thinking and board member at the Institute of Noetic Sciences   Is our physical universe actually a virtual simulation that is thought into existence by consciousness? Noted astrophysicist and #1 bestselling author, Bernard Haisch explores the frontiers of science, consciousness, and God, revolutionizing our understanding of the universe and what’s behind it all.   Have you ever wondered why and how the world around you came to exist and whether there might be another experience awaiting you after the physical body dies? Might there actually be a God and a heaven of some sort? Without consciousness there is nothing. The hypothesis presented in this book is that our seemingly physical universe of matter and energy is a virtual simulation which is thought into existence by a universal consciousness which we call God. Authors Bernard Haisch and Marsha Sims tackle age-old metaphysical questions such as the following:    Are near-death experiences real?  What is the zero-point field?  What kind of being could God be?  Is there some place that God could have come from?  How does the Big Bang figure into this?  It there an afterlife, and what could it be like?  What is the purpose of life?  Is consciousness all there is?  Is the universe a virtual reality?  Why is hell impossible?

    Have you ever envied your cat? Cats radiate warmth and positive energy — they know how to enjoy and live life in the present — seems like there’s a lot we can learn from these tiny Zen masters. 
    Us people on the other hand, we live stressful lives, often riddled with tension and anxiety. 
    This audiobook was created to help solve these problems and learn from our cats — who have a lot to teach us about relaxation and being in tune with our bodies. You will learn how to reconnect with your relaxed state, how to enhance your sensitivity, and how to compensate for stress, while reducing anxiety. 
    This audiobook is essentially all about how to learn to relax deeply, how to fill yourself with positive vibrations and silently purr inside — like our feline friends. 
    You will meet an adorable cat named Relexa, who will teach you how to mimic his feline relaxation tricks and strategies. And a professional psychologist Olga, who will translate cat language into human language — helping you to feel as totally relaxed, harmonious, super-sensitive and self-sufficient as possible. 
    This audiobook contains best five-minute meditations that you can listen to whenever you need to destress. 
    Practicing the guided exercises, you will also be able to master catlike grace. You will feel naturally confident and in complete harmony with your body. 
    Feline strategies may seem very easy and playful, however, in the end you will find that you have made a real leap in developing both physical and emotional intelligence.

    Conversations with Ghosts

    Understanding people on the earth and the way in which they think and act is a challenging feat, but even more difficult is understanding those who have left us. Additionally, ghosts themselves are often misunderstood. They can be lost souls with baggage hoping someone will notice their 
    existence and lend an ear; not spectres with ill intent or out to harm the living.
     
    This book combines the expertise of two people who have had a multitude of encounters and have successfully made meaningful connections with several spirits throughout the years. This novel recounts 10 detailed situations and the conversations between Pernille, Laurens and a 
    multitude of ghosts which each result in the unfolding of applicable life lessons and a unique story. A deep connection and understanding were made with each spirit who was outwardly affecting the lives of the living in the hopes of attracting the attention of someone or anyone out
     there who would help them move on.
     
    Through the reading of this book, Pernille and Laurens hope to achieve two things. One, the understanding that ghosts are not out to get us, rather they are simply misunderstood and waiting for someone who will listen. Two, sharing stories and becoming the voice of spirits that could not speak for themselves.
