The Story of Witches - Folklore History and Superstition

Willow Winsham

Beschreibung

The witch – malevolent, magical, multi-faceted - has walked among us for centuries.
Demonic and deviant or liberated and revered, in this enchantingly illustrated book, Willow Winsham explores the many guises of the witch across folklore, history and superstition.
From Hekate to Baba Yaga, from shape-shifting hares to Macbeth, the book starts with a rich dive into the ideas of the witch in myth, legend and fairytale. Next follows an exploration of popular belief and superstition during the witch trials across Europe and the United States, one of the most tumultuous and bloody of our collective history. The last section brings us to more recent times, exploring how how the image and identity of the witch has been reclaimed and reinvented, the significance of the Wheel of the Year, the advent of Wicca and modern Witchcraft and beyond.
Finally and most crucially, we are left with the vital question: what have we learned from the past and what is the best way to approach our – often terrible – shared history of the witch?

Parallel Lives and Ed Morrell

Dick Sutphen

In the early 1970s, Dick Sutphen began experimenting with hypnosis in his art studio in Scottsdale, Arizona. He needed subjects to practice on and formed a free Wednesday night group where he taught the things he was learning and hypnotized individuals and the group, mostly back to their past-lives.This was so successful and the crowds were so enthusiastic, he started a private practice for more in depth study. He wrote about his interesting cases in several best-selling books, starting in 1976. However, he noticed people’s past-lives oftentimes overlapped in years. For example, one woman relived her past-life in England in 1890 and her lifetime in Japan 1900. How could this be? He worked with Spirit in meditation and discovered that we don’t live just one lifetime after another … we oftentimes live up to three different lives at the same time. He labeled this Parallel Lives, and in this audio he will tell you all about this fascinating reality of our lives on Earth.Afterwards, Dick will describe his Parallel Life as an outlaw from California named Ed Morrell.
