Sinossi

Peter Kreeft, esteemed philosophy professor and author of over eighty books, has taught college philosophy for sixty years. Throughout those decades, he yearned for a beginner's philosophy text that was clear, accessible, enjoyable, and exciting (perhaps even funny). Finding none that met those criteria, he eventually decided to write it himself.  In this four-volume series, Kreeft delivers, with his characteristic wit and clarity, an introduction to philosophy via the hundred greatest philosophers of all time. Socrates’ Children examines the big ideas of four major eras―ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary―and immerses the reader in the “great conversation,” the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history, including the most influential philosopher of all: Socrates, the father of Western philosophy.  Volume I: Ancient Philosophers investigates the foundations of philosophy laid by the ancient sages, Greeks, and Romans and introduces the philosophers who asked the first great philosophical questions―about good and evil; truth and falsehood; wisdom, beauty, and love; and the self, the world, and God.

    Powerful. Entertaining. Moving. A timely intervention into the conversation on bereavement, mental health, and suicide. - Soul Craft Your Life 
    Set in a dead-end town in England and Northern Spain, this is an exploration of generational trauma and healing. It's entertaining yet honest, and that's the beauty of it. - James Pointer 
    Pilgrims, Angels, Spirit Guides, and Spiritual Awakenings, what more do you need from a book about the Camino? - Dan K 
    We meet Peter standing on the edge of a cliff contemplating the question, 'How far would you fall before changing your mind?' 
    Adrift in Spain, having left everything he owns and knows, he faces the hard truth - life catches up to you no matter how far you run. 
    Three months before, whilst sitting in a former police cell and handling Christmas delivery requests, he receives a phone call from a stranger who asks him to write her suicide note. 
    So begins a series of synchronicities that lead him to hike the Camino De Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage route through France and Spain. 
    As he walks, his father's story unfolds beside his own, chronicling the addiction that runs through his paternal line and which led to his father's premature death the year before. 
    Peter is haunted by what seems like an inevitable path laid before him. Homeless and without money, he must let go of control, place his trust in the kindness of strangers, and embrace the mysteries of the Camino. 
    Before he can finish his pilgrimage and reach the ocean, a reckoning awaits him in the desert. If he can face his family's past, he may yet walk into a new world. 
    Inspired by true events, this story is about grief and healing and how we can send the love back. 
    900km to walk. A cycle of generational addiction to break. Embark on this inspirational journey

    “Truly, The Left-Hand Path of Tarot serves as a tarot for our times, one that invites us to direct contemplation of the eerie trickster dimensions of phenomenal reality and of our own souls, so that we might learn to more deeply enjoy our wholeness.” —from the foreword by Carolyn ElliottThe Left Hand Path of Tarot offers the perspective of the outsiders, the outcasts, the marginalized, the nonconforming, and all who live on the fringes of what society labels as “civilized,” “acceptable,” or “canon.” Cards with a negative reputation, like The Tower or The Devil, acquire a completely new layer of meaning that has extensive and relevant shadow-work applications and extremely practical advice in matters that are often frowned upon by spiritualists, such as kink, self-branding, monetization, body transformation, glamour, and self-defense.The Left Hand Path of Tarot suggests a paradigm shift for tarot archetypes that goes beyond classic interpretation of the major arcana. It’s the chaos, subversion, and alchemy of the self in the left-hand path of tarot that challenges social norms and leads you to explore the deepest parts of your soul. It is the torch that lights the fire through which we must all walk in order to transcend and achieve the highest victory a human being can aspire to complete: self-love.

    “Secrets of Greek Mysticism is a rare gem that marries scholarly wisdom with practical spirituality. George’s insightful approach unveils the gods’ profound essence, offering readers a transformative road map to inner growth and connection. This book is an invitation to weave the divine into our daily lives.” —Sophie Bashford, intuitive and bestselling author of You Are a Goddess  A clear introduction to the spirituality, beliefs, rituals, and gods and goddesses of the Greek pantheon from a modern practitioner.  Secrets of Greek Mysticism is the first spiritual book about the Greek gods and goddesses written by a native, practicing priest of Hellenic Polytheism. It goes beyond the simplistic and archetypical representation of the Greek pantheon and instead introduces the gods and goddesses from a theological perspective.  Secrets of Greek Mysticism teaches readers how to find each god or goddess within them. This is achieved through grounded insights on the gods’ virtues as they relate to modern life (i.e., practicing bravery with Ares, cultivating endurance with Demeter, and embodying love with Aphrodite), explaining the deeper spiritual meaning of popular myths, practicing guided meditations, activating the gods’ energies with mantras and hymns, and performing simple rituals.   In helping readers build a spiritual connection with the gods and goddesses, Secrets of Greek Mysticism reveals the beginnings of the practice as well as practices for everyday life:    The twelve gods’ birth stories, essences, and virtues  The foundation of ancient Greek spirituality, cosmology, and theology  How to live and work with the gods on a daily basis  Setting up altars  Symbols, hymns, and meditations to guide readers’ practice of connecting with the gods   Secrets of Greek Mysticism also makes the claim that for the Divine Feminine to rise, the Divine Masculine needs to rise, too. Rather than solely focusing on female goddesses, it brings together the male and female deities of the Greek pantheon to help readers experience divine union.
