Book Description
If you are wanting to learn more about El Camino de Santiago, my intent in sharing my experiences is to motivate you to take your first step onto “The Way of St. James.” For those who know the sound of gravel crunching beneath your boots keeping time with the rhythm of the clicking walking sticks and church bells chiming in the distance, then my hope is to remind you of that special feeling that one can only get while on the pilgrimage to Santiago. With my experiences, stories and lessons learned on the Camino, I know your own memories and emotions will bring smiles, tears and a warmed heart. Once The Camino de Santiago is in you, you are changed forever. The history, mystery, culture, food, local people and most importantly, the pilgrims, all come together to create something beyond place. El Camino is not just a trail and the pilgrimage is far more than a hike. Some walk for religious reasons or to seek spiritual answers. Others walk to mourn the loss of loved ones. I met many pilgrims who set off seeking an adventurous physical challenge and came home realizing that perhaps the mental challenge was both more a daunting and fulling task. For whatever your inspiration for walking El Camino de Santiago may be, you will return a better person. Pilgrims bring a piece of the mystical feeling back with them. Once you have stepped foot on your first Camino, you will undoubtedly already be thinking about your next adventure! Please join me in “Sacred Blisters” as I dive into what makes El Camino such a magical and unforgettable journey and leaves pilgrims glowing inside and out!

Book Description
"Drawing on contemporary accounts and a wealth of illustration, Sacred Treks captures the atmosphere of pilgrimage through the ages. Divided into three sections - "Early Paths," "Medieval Roads," and "Modern Ways" - the book describes every aspect of pilgrimage past and present, from the practicalities of setting out, to the difficult conditions of travel, to the great sites such as Rome, Jerusalem, Santiago de Compostela, and Canterbury. The book looks at the pilgrims themselves, from St. Brendan, who is said to have cast himself adrift, letting God guide his search for a paradisal holy island, to the penitents, cure-seekers, and adventurers who in the Middle Ages set out for the unknown in their millions."

Book Description
A fascinating history of women's belief, faith and spirituality, as told through the art and writing of 33 women of wisdom. This is an exploration of feminine spirituality from the beginning of time to the present day. These extraordinary women have expressed their experiences of the agony and ecstasy of pursuing spiritual enlightenment through their poetry and prose, which is beautiful, inspirational and very moving. Paula Marvelly has selected powerful and evocative words of wisdom from women of widely differing ages and faiths, including but not limited to Jewish, Christian, Sufi, Hindu, Buddhist or Taoist. The author reveals the common and overriding theme between them, which can be expressed as “non-duality” – not two but one. This is the experience of losing one’s individuality and of becoming one with the universe. Whether you are interested in reviving lost and misunderstood women of history, or you are looking to find new ways to understand the many ancient questions that generations before us have been asking, you will discover a wealth of wisdom and inspiration from these women of wisdom: Read the musings of the ancient priestess Enheduanna on her beloved goddess of the moon Decode ancient Egyptian inscriptions to reveal Hatshepsut, a powerful female pharaoh whose rule was almost deleted from history Revel in the immortal beauty of Sappho's poetry on the divine bounty of Mother Nature, Emily Dickinson's words on love, or Virginia Woolf's prose on female expression. Uncover the cosmic life force with polymath Hildegard of Bingen Dwell on the revelations of divine love with anchoress Julian of Norwich, and so much more...

Book Description
The Complete Language of Trees is a comprehensive encyclopedia providing the meanings, powers, facts, and folklore for over 400 types of trees--now in a pocket-size edition for easy, on-the-go reference. Along with a stunning visual depiction, each entry provides the tree's scientific and common name, characteristics, and historic and hidden properties from mythology, legends, and folklore. Discover the lore of trees, including: Hackberry Tree - encourages someone to continuously do their best Manchineel Tree - it is so toxic that the smoke from a burning tree can cause blindness, and it is not even advised to inhale the air around the tree Bark from the Bird Cherry Tree was placed on doors during medieval times to ward off plague Washi paper is created from the inner bark of the Paper Mulberry Tree. Pando is a Quaking Aspen colony that is 108 acres wide (about the size of 83 football fields!). It is technically one tree. Imagine developing a spiritual connection with a tree in a way that exceeds visual perception; where learning its meaning and value simultaneously improves your own mental and physical wellness. Throughout history, floriographies--flower dictionaries--have gained notoriety for regulating human emotions and giving depth, symbolism, and meaning to extremely delicate aspects of nature. Following the success of The Complete Language of Herbs and its predecessor The Complete Language of Flowers, author S. Theresa Dietz continues this custom with The Complete Language of Trees. Coupled with two indexes, one for searching by common tree name and the other organized by meaning, Dietz cleverly connects quality time in nature with the overall improvement of mental health by developing a stunningly depicted dictionary for gardeners, environmentalists, and nature lovers alike.

Book Description
Om Sri Sai Ram. Sri Sathya Sai International Organization (SSSIO) offers the September 2023 issue of Sathya Sai–The Eternal Companion at the divine lotus feet of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba with love, reverence, and gratitude. This issue contains a divine discourse Swami gave on September 4, 1996, on the auspicious occasion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami (birthday of Lord Krishna). He explains that our real wealth is Love for God, which grants permanent and supreme bliss, while all worldly pleasures are fleeting and illusory. Through examples, Bhagawan highlights how Sri Krishna personified bliss, captivated the hearts of all devotees, and could be captured only through pure love. Finally, He urges everyone to follow His teachings implicitly as the Lord Krishna and His words are not different. The editorial, The Ganesha Principle, expounds on the inner significance, principles, teachings, and stories of Lord Ganesha. Such understanding and practice increase one’s joy and help in the path to Self-Realization. The publication contains beautiful stories of Lord Ganesha and the unique personal experiences of devotees with Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It also features articles on the glory of womanhood, ideal Sai Young Adults, Sathya Sai Education, and loving services rendered by the SSSIO in war-torn Ukraine. A brief overview of the growth of the SSSIO in Switzerland shows how Swami’s universal and eternal message has spread over the decades.
