  “A poignant, powerful, inclusive, and deeply personal journey to meet the Great God Anubis. Filled with solid historical information, as well as practical contemporary rituals, magick, healing practices, and prayers, this book drew me in, opened my heart, and made me love dear Anubis even more.” —Michael Butler Smith, author of Embracing Isis   Anubis is Egypt’s original Lord of the Dead. That title was eventually transferred to Osiris, but even then, Anubis continued to be the most active participant in the after-death process, supervising rituals that determined what would befall the dead soul. He is credited as the inventor of mummification. A shrine to Anubis, one of the most significant gods of ancient Egypt, was discovered within Tutankhamun’s tomb. The image of Anubis has evolved into a veritable symbol of ancient Egypt.   Usually identified as a jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis’s domain extends beyond death—he is a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. Anubis’s adopted mother, the goddess Isis, became popular outside Egypt, with temples in Rome and as far as the British Isles. As her guardian, Anubis traveled with her. He is as modern as he is ancient, appearing in comic books, video games, and in the book American Gods and its television adaptation. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists.   In this practical guide to working with Anubis, author Charlie Larson focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. Steeped in history and mythology, Anubis—Ancient Egypt’s Lord of Death and Protection features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers, invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the reader on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, delving into his various facets—death deity, psychopomp, and protector.

  Persuasion - The Act of...

  Persuasion is an integral part of human interaction, deeply embedded in how we communicate and influence others in various aspects of life. It involves the art of convincing someone to change their beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors, often through reasoning, emotional appeal, or both. Whether it’s a political leader attempting to sway voters, a marketer aiming to sell a product, or an individual trying to resolve a conflict, persuasion is a tool that enables individuals to shape others’ thoughts and actions. Understanding persuasion is essential not only to comprehend how others influence us but also to understand how we can use it ethically to influence others in return. 
  At its core, persuasion is about changing the way people think or act without forcing them into compliance. It is often misunderstood as a form of manipulation, but while both involve influencing others, manipulation typically involves deceit or coercion, whereas persuasion focuses on genuine reasoning and voluntary agreement. The ethical boundaries between persuasion and manipulation are significant, and understanding where persuasion becomes harmful is an important distinction in the study of this process. 
  One of the most significant aspects of persuasion is its psychological foundation. Persuasion works through the understanding of human cognition, emotions, and behavior. People are naturally influenced by their emotions, biases, and the social context in which they find themselves. Cognitive biases such as the bandwagon effect, anchoring, and authority bias can make individuals more susceptible to persuasive messages. This means that the context, presentation, and emotional appeal can have a profound impact on how persuasive an argument or idea is.
