Mysterious Realms
Author: Stephanie Jones
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1525562312
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
The naïve though rather fumbling Eddie Bear and the smart and feisty Micki MacVitie share a comfortable life in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Together they face a healthy dose of adventure, frequently resulting in dangerous situations. This charming collection recounts the escapades of a cast-off old teddy bear and a lively, black-and-white Highland cat and portrays their peculiar adventures in the realms of mystery and fantasy. Journey with these extraordinary friends to Darkest Outer Pongolia, where a sinister hotel with a strange layout and stranger host provide the pair with some unusual hospitality. On beautiful Shuttle Island, site of a GMO research facility, Eddie and Micki uncover the terrible fate awaiting many guests of the so-called resort and come close to permanently parting ways. Closer to home, the two venture into the countryside, where a seemingly innocent camping holiday turns into a hazardous, but rehabilitative, expedition. And in their own neighborhood, Eddie is transported up a beam of light and into a retrospection of his life. Everything is unexpected, anything can happen, and nothing is as it seems to be. Surprises, humor, and loyalty are common currency, and they lead the way to a place where things do work out in the end – a place where a few choccy-biccies and several cups of tea can cure a multitude of ills.

ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Investigative writer Joe Nickell and forensic analyst John F. Fischer probe ten tantalizing mysteries that, for decades, have defied rational analysis and convinced many people that supernatural events really do happen. Using their skills and experience in historic document examination and forensic research, Nickell and Fischer carefully scrutinize the evidence for a variety of strange historical, paranormal, and forensic phenomena. - Is a historic Kentucky home really haunted by the "gray lady's ghost"? - Did Lee Harvey Oswald assassinate J.F.K., or was the killer a Soviet look-alike? - Has the U.S. government concealed evidence of UFO visitations to Earth? - Is a miracle taking place in a Naples cathedral where the congealed blood of a martyred saint periodically liquefies? Taking neither a credulous nor close-minded approach, the authors search for answers to these questions and other mysterious conundrums. Their deductions and proposed solutions (which make use of blood chemistry, forensic analysis, document examination, and a knowledge of stage magic) are truly worthy of Sherlock Holmes and will keep readers turning the pages to find out the rest of the story.

Mysterious Realities
Author: Robert Moss
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1608685381
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Prepare to Encounter Goddesses, Daimons & Parallel Worlds Sigmund Freud called dreams the "royal road to the unconscious," but to bestselling author and world-renowned dream explorer Robert Moss, they are more: portals to the imaginal realm, a higher reality that exists at the intersection of time and eternity. The traveler's tales in this book are just-so stories in the sense that they spring from direct experience in the many worlds. As you journey from the temple of the Great Goddess at Ephesus to an amazing chance encounter on an airplane, from Dracula country in Transylvania to the astral realm of Luna, you'll confirm that the doors to the otherworld open from wherever you are. You'll see what it means to live on a mythic edge and to make a deal with your personal Death for a life extension. At any moment, you may fall, like the author, into the lap of a goddess or the jaws of an archetype.

Psychedelic Mysteries of the Feminine
Author: Maria Papaspyrou
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1620558033
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 460
Book Description
An exploration of the connections between feminine consciousness and altered states from ancient times to present day • Explores the feminine qualities of the psychedelic self, ancient female roots of shamanism, and how altered states naturally tap into the female archetype • Discusses feminist psychedelic activism, female ecstatics, goddess consciousness, the dark feminine, and embodied paths to ecstasy • Includes contributions by Martina Hoffmann, Amanda Sage, Carl Ruck, and others Women have been shamans since time immemorial, not only because women have innate intuitive gifts, but also because the female body is wired to more easily experience altered states, such as during the process of birth. Whether female or male, the altered states produced by psychedelics and ecstatic trance expand our minds to tap into and enhance our feminine states of consciousness as well as reconnect us to the web of life. In this book, we discover the transformative powers of feminine consciousness and altered states as revealed by contributors both female and male, including revered scholars, visionary artists, anthropologists, modern shamans, witches, psychotherapists, and policy makers. The book begins with a deep look at the archetypal dimensions of the feminine principle and how entheogens give us open access to these ancient archetypes, including goddess consciousness and the dark feminine. The contributors examine the female roots of shamanism, including the role of women in the ancient rites of Dionysus, the Eleusinian Sacrament, and Norse witchcraft. They explore psychedelic and embodied paths to ecstasy, such as trance dance, holotropic breathwork, and the similarities of giving birth and taking mind-altering drugs. Looking at the healing potential of the feminine and altered states, they discuss the power of plant medicines, including ayahuasca, and the recasting of the medicine-woman archetype for the modern world. They explore the feminine in the creative process and discuss feminist psychedelic activism, sounding the call for more female voices in the psychedelic research community. Sharing the power of “femtheogenic” wisdom to help us move beyond a patriarchal society, this book reveals how feminine consciousness, when intermingled with psychedelic knowledge, carries and imparts the essence of inclusivity, interconnectedness, and balance our world needs to heal and consciously evolve.
