Book Description
Firekeeper has always believed that her heart is a wolf’s heart. Now the time has come for her to prove it. Blind Seer’s search for a teacher of the magical arts brought him and Firekeeper to Rhinadei, a land rich in magical lore, but intolerant of those who would rebel against its core precepts. Now, eager to aid Wythcombe, his new teacher, Blind Seer agrees to lend his keen senses to the hunt for Kabot—Wythcombe’s childhood rival and leader of a band of fanatical blood mages. In this hunt, Firekeeper runs as ever at Blind Seer’s side. Rounding out their pack are Laria and Ranz, two young humans with potent magical gifts of their own; Farborn, a yarimaimalom falcon; Wythcombe himself, and the ever enigmatic Meddler. Yet, despite the versatility of this pack, Kabot’s blood mages miraculously elude them, leaving behind the tantalizing scent of more power than they should possess. Suspicion builds that Kabot has acquired a new ally: an ally who may be one of their own pack turned traitor. “A beautiful and complex book.” Publisher’s Weekly on Through Wolf’s Eyes “Thrilling.” Publisher’s Weekly on Wolf Hunting “Intricately plotted, A thought-provoking tale of magic and politics, enlivened by Firekeeper’s wry and wolfish point-of-view.” Publisher’s Weekly on Wolf’s Blood

The Soul of Jerusalem
Author: Rabbi Shlomo Katz
Publisher: Mosaica Press
ISBN: 1937887308
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
There is a little land. In that little land, there is a little city. In that city there is a little street, and on that street there is a little wall. When you stand by that Holy Wall, you can hear the footsteps of our father Abraham, and you can hear the trumpet of the Great Day to come. You hear the past and you can hear the future. You can hear the singing of the Levites. Or, you can hear us crying, going into exile. You can hear the six million crying out of the gas chambers, and you can hear the trumpet of the Great Day to come. I was standing one early morning by the Holy Wall, and I was saying Kaddish for my father. But when you stand by that Holy Wall, you say Kaddish for the whole world. Sometimes you feel like saying Kaddish for your own soul, and sometimes you feel like saying Kaddish for tomorrow. Then you hear the words “Yisgadal V’yiskadash Shmei Raba — May G-d’s Name become great and sanctified,” and you remember there is one G-d, and you know that the Great Morning is coming. You know that day and night will get together. The living and the dead, we and the whole world. This is my song, the song of tears, because on that Great Day the tears will march through the world, and the whole world will join them. The tears will clear the world and prepare the world. Everything will come together. We will all come together. It will be a new morning – a new beginning. In this remarkable and life-changing work, the reader is transported to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem to be inspired by the teachings of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach zt”l. Masterfully adapted by Rabbi Shlomo Katz (renowned musician and creator of the best-selling and acclaimed The Soul of Chanukah: Teachings of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach), these teachings touch the soul.

The Soul's Code
Author: James Hillman
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0399180141
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
“[An] acute and powerful vision . . . offers a renaissance of humane values.”—Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life Plato called it “daimon,” the Romans “genius,” the Christians “guardian angel”; today we use such terms as “heart,” “spirit,” and “soul.” While philosophers and psychologists from Plato to Jung have studied and debated the fundamental essence of our individuality, our modern culture refuses to accept that a unique soul guides each of us from birth, shaping the course of our lives. In this extraordinary bestseller, James Hillman presents a brilliant vision of our selves, and an exciting approach to the mystery at the center of every life that asks, “What is it, in my heart, that I must do, be, and have? And why?” Drawing on the biographies of figures such as Ella Fitzgerald and Mohandas K. Gandhi, Hillman argues that character is fate, that there is more to each individual than can be explained by genetics and environment. The result is a reasoned and powerful road map to understanding our true nature and discovering an eye-opening array of choices—from the way we raise our children to our career paths to our social and personal commitments to achieving excellence in our time. Praise for The Soul’s Code “Champions a glorious sort of rugged individualism that, with the help of an inner daimon (or guardian angel), can triumph against all odds.”—The Washington Post Book World “[A] brilliant, absorbing work . . . Hillman dares us to believe that we are each meant to be here, that we are needed by the world around us.”—Publishers Weekly

Pages : 141
Book Description
Soulistry - Artistry of the Soul: Creative Ways to Nurture Your Spirituality encourages readers to re-connect with the intangible soul-essence of life and experience rich spiritual growth. Through a series of over 80 inspirational quotations from ordinary and extraordinary human beings around the world living in different centuries along with accompanying Soul-Questions, this creative book challenges, nurtures and nourishes spirituality. In today's culture, more and more people are becoming aware of the importance of balance in their lives: physically (body), intellectually (mind) and spiritually (soul/spirit). There is a growing indefinable awareness that being spiritual is a vital component of being human, not only for those with a religious belief/practice, but also for those for whom there is no discernible connection with organized religion, no acknowledgment of the existence of God/Holy Other/Creator/Higher Power, no awareness or understanding of themselves as having a purpose in life.

Loneliness of the Soul.
Author: Arkadiusz Niewolski
Publisher: Arkadiusz Niewolski
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
During a ghost-evoking seance, a group of young people noticed that the plate moved, and that’s pretty much all they remember. They dispersed and never talked about it. One of them converted after more than 20 years and started to analyses what had happened. It all started with youthful stupidity, walking away from God. A friend committed suicide, and so they decided to call up ghosts to find out why he did it. But something happened. No one remembers exactly what it was, but at least for one of them, it changed his life completely. He was a young 15-year-old practicing Catholicism and even thinking about becoming a priest. Everything suddenly changed. In a very strange way, all the obstacles he faced in life disappeared. He passed exams for which he was not prepared, and teachers with whom he had conflicts left. That’s how it started. Later, there were bigger things. Money and success At a certain point in his life, he came to the conclusion that the impossible did not exist. He felt that he could do anything. He had dedicated people around him. What others did, for example, for a few days in seven people, they were able to do in one day in two. That’s how it looked to someone looking from the sidelines, but the reality was quite different. Everything he got never met all his needs. If he needed money, he got it, often inexplicably, but never so much that it was enough to take care of an issue 100 percent. It was like building a house without all the necessary materials. You make a foundation but don’t have enough cement. The result is that you build on sand. You put in windows and doors but don’t have all you need, so you only put them in the front of the house and leave holes in the back. A nice facade, but unstable and in danger of collapse. When he perceives that he could lose everything, he joins a secret organisation—let’s call it occult. However, for everything he gets, you have to pay a terrible price. Not material but mental. The soul sinks into darkness. Thoughts become depressive. Life teeters on the brink of suicide. When his life was already just a ruin in the material and spiritual spheres, he unexpectedly gets an offer to go to a remote place, practically a wilderness. He goes and, in silence, slowly begins to understand what happened. He decides to return to God. He faces the final battle—the battle for his soul. However, he is further dismantled by the conviction of his own greatness and does it alone without God. He loses and gives up everything. Knowing that it’s over, he tries to pray but can’t recall the words of the prayer. He feels only a terrible emptiness, and death is already inside him. It is at this moment of total defeat and total collapse that he sees a helping hand. God saves him, and from that moment on, he is never alone again. Always with God, always. However, life in hell leaves a stigma that hurts. Every look back causes terrible pain in the soul. You don’t have to go through it. All you have to do is think before you do something. Thinking doesn’t hurt, but rejecting God hurts a lot. It is a pain that never passes. All the riches of the world given by Satan will not satisfy your thirst; you will always lack them. Only God has the water of life that is able to soothe your soul. Always remember this, always.

The Ocean of the Soul
Author: Ritter
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004245073
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 859
Book Description
The Ocean of the Soul is one of the great works of the German Orientalist Hellmut Ritter (1892-1971). It presents a comprehensive analysis of the writings of the mystical Persian poet Farīd al-Dīn ‘Aṭṭār who is thought to have died at an advanced age in April 1221 when the Mongols destroyed his home city of Nīshāpūr in the north-east of Iran. The book, which resulted from decades of investigation of literary and historical sources, was first published in 1955 and has since remained unsurpassed not only as the definitive study of ‘Aṭṭār's world of ideas but as an indispensable guide to understanding pre-modern Islamic literature in general. Quoting at length from ‘Aṭṭār and other Islamic sources, Ritter sketches an extraordinarily vivid portrait of the Islamic attitude toward life, characteristic developments in pious and ascetic circles, and, in conclusion, various dominant mystical currents of thought and feeling. Special attention is given to a wide range of views on love, love in all its manifestations, including homosexuality and the commonplace sūfī adoration of good-looking youths. Ritter's approach is throughout based onprecise philological interpretation of primary sources, several of which he has himself made available in critical editions.
