Summary

Invocation
 
.
 
Musai,
 
this offering,
 
that with each line of the words, crushed-
 
rock dust is cracked and planed down hard upon the consonants,
 
whereas the fine dust, the lighter-than-air,
 
it flows throughout the vowels,
 
it swirls a slow smoke loop or two inside the hollow of an o or an a
 
and then released, and away,
 
spark-trails drift diagonal across five sun-beams,
 
and away...
 
I had gotten a first-class education in poetry and was en route to an academic career. I had had an overwhelming spiritual experience: the presence of Goddesses and the Gods, primarily the Olympians and the Greek Cthonic deities. I needed to be in just the right place to write good poetry about Them. Accordingly, I ran away to Las Vegas. I wanted the mountains...the light...the colors...the ambition...
 
I've been bad at life at times but I'm good at this. You may never be able to unsee Them again.

Herbal medicine is useful for a range of common complaints, and gentle and effective herbs can offer benefit where conventional medicine sometimes fails. There have been many books written on herbal medicine.

Among the topics covered are:  A brief history of herbalism  An overview of how herbs heal  A glossary that includes the benefits of each herb and how to use it  A tour of the body’s systems and the herbs that make them work better  An herb dictionary  In a world that's becoming more and more focused on illness and disease, it is clearly important for individuals to learn about natural therapies and take their health into their own hands. By educating yourself in the use of traditional herbalism, you can attain a high level of well-being, and you will only need to consult a conventional doctor when you have a problem that only a medically qualified professional can handle.   This title was previously published as Herbs Plain & Simple.

    We always wonder that every House in Vedic astrology has different meaning and results. So how does the planet sitting in it will behave. So in this book I am describing how Sun will give results in different houses in most possible and descriptive way. The planet behavior changes along with the house it sits in and give different results. Every house itself is a mystery and planet sitting in house becomes more mysterious and gives results in very different pattern. Planet is nothing but a cosmic energy which in particular location in house during our birth impacts our entire life the way we think and the way we behave and also controls our emotions. The glands in our brain reacts to this cosmic energy and creates a certain characteristic in our life patter and day to day life and we can understand this by understanding our horoscope and by checking which house the planet is sitting and how it impacts our thinking and life. I hope you will love this book and enjoy reading.

    I have used nakshatras from many decades so in this book I am using 27 nakshatra from Ashwini to Revati and providing some quick snapshot techniques about career which can be used on horoscope while predicting. These techniques are very quick and easy. All these techniques are based on experience of many decades. I am expecting every reader might love this technique. In this book I am describing each zodiac sign related to career and profession and also I am describing each planets related profession. Towards the end of the book I am explaining in short way how each nakshatra and planets in dasamsa can give career fields.

    Blank chart predictions is very interesting here we don’t consider any planets in houses or aspects or conjunctions. Here we just look at Ascendant and do predictions similarly every house according to ascendant will have energy of nakshatras and based on that we do predict the signification. With my many decades of experience and wisdom I am presenting this book which explores more of blank chart prediction. It is a unique concept many astrologers doesnot know. I hope readers will like this book and will benefit from this knowledge.
