Book Description
Do you want to make your home a more sacred space than any church or temple? Do you want to bring more meaning, gratitude and happiness to your life and relationships? Do you identify as "spiritual but not religious" and wish to incorporate ancient faith-based rituals and symbols into your life without compromising your modern reason or values? If so, the The New Vesta Secret is for you.In The New Vesta Secret, Debra May Macleod shares the story of her meeting with an extraordinary woman with an even more extraordinary secret. The last steward of a forgotten religious artefact, this woman passed down to Debra the knowledge and flame of a spirituality that had for centuries illuminated the lives of millions of women, until it was banished during the rise of Christianity. But before she could reignite this spirituality, Debra – a sworn atheist – would have to journey through some dark places: a near-death experience, a career crisis, a struggling marriage and unfulfilling family life, debilitating negativity and finally her own reluctant realization that spiritual belief is a strength, not a weakness. Part spiritual journey and part practical inspiration, The New Vesta Secret is a book about a beloved tradition forced to hide in the shadows for fifteen hundred years, waiting for the time that it could once again renew the spirits and re-inspire the lives of women around the world. But more than that, it is a treatise on happiness, a poignant and sometimes whimsical story about the secret to life itself.Read with: THE NEW VESTA HOME: HOW A RENEWED TRADITION CAN KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE & FAMILY TOGETHER

Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
Pull back the curtain on the real history of magic – and discover why magic really matters If you read a standard history of magic, you learn that it begins in ancient Egypt, with the resurrection of a goose in front of the Pharaoh. You discover how magicians were tortured and killed during the age of witchcraft. You are told how conjuring tricks were used to quell rebellious colonial natives. The history of magic is full of such stories, which turn out not to be true. Behind the smoke and mirrors, however, lies the real story of magic. It is a history of people from humble roots, who made and lost fortunes, and who deceived kings and queens. In order to survive, they concealed many secrets, yet they revealed some and they stole others. They engaged in deception, exposure, and betrayal, in a quest to make the impossible happen. They managed to survive in a world in which a series of technological wonders appeared, which previous generations would have considered magical. Even today, when we now take the most sophisticated technology for granted, we can still be astonished by tricks that were performed hundreds of years ago. The Secret History of Magic reveals how this was done. It is about why magic matters in a world that no longer seems to have a place for it, but which desperately needs a sense of wonder.
