Sinopse

Walt Whitman's 'The Essential Works of Walt Whitman' is a collection of poetry and essays that encapsulates the transcendentalist ideas and free verse style that Whitman is known for. Through his powerful imagery and celebration of the individual, Whitman explores themes of democracy, nature, and the human experience. This anthology includes iconic works such as 'Leaves of Grass' and 'Song of Myself', showcasing Whitman's innovative use of language and form that revolutionized American literature in the 19th century. The collection provides insight into Whitman's unique literary style and its significance in the context of American poetry. Walt Whitman, a prominent figure in American literature, was influenced by his personal experiences, including his travels, work as a journalist, and time spent as a nurse during the Civil War. His diverse background and admiration for democracy and individualism are reflected in his writings, making him a seminal voice in American literature. I highly recommend 'The Essential Works of Walt Whitman' to readers interested in American poetry, transcendentalism, or the evolution of literary form. Whitman's profound insights and groundbreaking style continue to resonate with readers today, making this collection a timeless masterpiece worthy of exploration.

    Finding Genius: Homeschooling:...

    Homeschooling your children can be a compelling experience that will shape them in powerful and lasting ways. It’s a choice that allows you to create a learning environment where your children feel safe, respected, encouraged, and valued. It also allows them to explore their interests more deeply while enabling you to introduce them to subjects of your choosing and safeguard them from the biases of the public school system. 
    They will reliably receive the one-on-one attention they deserve, which means they’ll never feel left behind or too far ahead (and aimless or bored as a result).  
    With scheduling flexibility comes the freedom to take your kids on vacations where and when you want to, as well as ensure they get the quantity and quality of sleep essential to healthy development, energy levels, and overall well-being.  
    For these reasons (and even more not covered in this book), I can confidently say that homeschooling is a vastly superior option for most people.  
    If you’re undecided about the best decision for your family, know that you want to homeschool but are feeling intimidated, or want to learn more about the benefits of the homeschooling lifestyle, I wholeheartedly encourage you to keep learning and researching.  
    Remember that when it comes to homeschooling, what’s right for your family might not be for another… the lessons, topics, schedule, and style are yours to choose; they can be tailored to meet the needs, goals, and beliefs of your beautifully unique family.

    Elemental And Ancestral Spirits...

    The two primary elements were those of darkness and light: Sut was the power of darkness, Horus the power of light. In one representation the two elements were imaged by means of the black bird of Sut and the white bird, or golden hawk, of Horus. Thus we can identify two elemental powers, as old as night and day, which are primeval in universal mythology; and these two powers, or animistic souls, were divinized as the two gods Sut and Horus with the two birds of darkness and light, the black vulture and the gold hawk depicted back to back as their two representative types or personal totems. –from “Elemental and Ancestral Spirits, or The Gods and the Glorified” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 3 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey explains how the original elemental spirits of early humans were transformed into deities, and how the concept of a “soul” developed from animalistic representations of natural forces. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

    In the introductory Chapter the reader will find the aim and object of these studies set forth at length. In view of the importance and complexity of the problems involved it seemed better to incorporate such a statement in the book itself, rather than relegate it to a Preface which all might not trouble to read. Yet I feel that such a general statement does not adequately express my full debt of obligation. Among the many whose labour has been laid under contribution in the following pages there are certain scholars whose published work, or personal advice, has been specially illuminating, and to whom specific acknowledgment is therefore due. Like many others I owe to Sir J. G. Frazer the initial inspiration which set me, as I may truly say, on the road to the Grail Castle. Without the guidance of The Golden Bough I should probably, as the late M. Gaston Paris happily expressed it, still be wandering in the forest of Broceliande!
