African American Magick - A Modern Grimoire for the Natural Home (Four Seasons of Rituals Recipes Hoodoo & Herbs)

Stephanie Rose Bird

Sinossi

An inspired herbal guide to natural living with ancient techniques, remedies, and rituals from around the world centered on the rhythms of the seasons.   The changing of the seasons is magickal—green leaves transforming into browns and golds, snow melting to show fresh buds. We all recognize these telltale signs, but few of us are aware of the powerful impact each season has on our spiritual lives. Whether sunny, snowy, windy, rainy, cold, or humid, the weather has a dramatic effect on our being wherever we may live.   The author, Stephanie Rose Bird, is deeply committed to keeping alive the spiritual wisdom of her indigenous African ancestors. In African American Magick, she examines the magickal ability of the seasons to enhance our lives by unearthing ancient techniques, rituals, and methods from around the world that reflect each season’s inherent energies to supplement body, mind, and soul.   Drawing upon her own ancestral heritage, as well as other cultures and those that have influenced her, Bird offers a lifetime of wisdom and expert botanical knowledge while sharing her path to a holistic and magickal life. Guidance from all over the world, and from classical and modern traditions alike, are offered:  Spiritual insights from Caribbean African American culture  Wisdom from indigenous Native American traditions  Buddhist and Hindu meditation practices and rites  Practices of classical European spiritual traditions  Lessons from Aboriginal Australian “dreaming” practices African American Magick was previously published in 2006 under the title Four Seasons of Mojo. This new edition includes a new preface by the author.

Alfred Hope Patten and the...

Michael Yelton

Walsingham, “England’s Nazareth”, is England’s premier place of pilgrimage for Anglicans and Roman Catholics alike, and its appeal continues to expand. The refounding of the eleventh-century Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in 1922 looked at the time like an inconsequential piece of neo-medievalism, but the intervening years have vindicated the determination of its founder Alfred Hope Patten to bring his unique vision to reality.

 
Some eighty years after his death, Hope Patten is now viewed in a way that he never experienced in his lifetime. Not only was he an archetypal Anglo-Catholic priest, but history has judged him to be one of the most significant figures in the Church of England in the twentieth century.

 
Based on unrestricted access to the archives of the Shrine and now fully revised and updated, this full biography of Hope Patten is once again available. This definitive work on the history of the Shrine and its founder explores Hope Patten’s background and ministry as well as many of the myths which he created about himself. It records the struggles he had – personal and financial – to establish his dream in the Norfolk countryside, the failure of his vision in other areas and assesses his lasting legacy to the Church of England.

Christ the Life - A Gospel Psalm

Thomas L. Martin

The Life of Christ As It's Never Been Told Before

Every scene, in wondrous prose, comes to life anew in this powerful book.


How might a literary artist write the incomparable story of Christ for our time? God said so much in the life of his Son, our perfect Savior and his fullest Word. The most beautiful poem in the world occurred when God spoke his Word in time: God's divine poem performed, as old Simeon says, "in the sight of all nations."


As readers walk through these pages, sensory detail brings life to the story of Jesus in Roman-occupied Judea of the first century, his words and life unfolding across the major scenes of the Gospels with renewed significance. Christ the Life tells the story of "the consolation of the ages" in a fresh and compelling way to the next generation.
