Book Description
What if magic really worked? If all the absurd words in all the grimoires' purporting to be centuries older than they really are, actually did what is claimed of them? What if christianity had not corrupted all that came before it? Perhaps our world view would be quite different today. Perhaps it would include Pre-human giants with tremendous powers, as all other cultures and lands do. Perhaps we would believe in magic. Could it be possible that the combination of certain sounds can work magic? That by being able to control these sounds we ourselves can become as powerful as Giants? That a byproduct of this magical evolution would be eternal life, just as gold was A byproduct of alchemy? Join three friends who accept all of the above as a matter of course. They are Traveling west across America to meet three other students of the occult. A lot happens In between. Perhaps you will enjoy this idle tale. Roger Lhooms

Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
From California coastal redwoods to giant sequoias in the Sierra, from practical jokes of adolescence to unexpected epiphanies marking an academic career, the many poems in Somewhere to Follow range through the life of a poet on the lookout for what comes next. In this his seventh volume of poetry, Paul Willis ascends the switchbacks of ordinary experience to cross paths with song-leading rangers, exhausted mothers, dirt-loving children, terrified immigrants, Arctic climbers, face-masked students, beatified counselors, rejected suitors, honest morticians, talking ferns, mourning crows, stinking fungi, vengeful rivers, raging fires, faithful brothers, the world's largest pinecones, and an innocent pair of twin grandsons. Also present in these pages are the Virgin Mary, Sir Philip Sidney, George Vancouver, David Douglas, John Muir, Ernest Hemingway, and the inimitable Ruth Kerr of the Kerr Canning Jar Company. Throughout this collection, one hears Willis's unique tone: quietly observant, worldly wise and yet still full of wonder, alert to the surprises and vistas that can only be found by striking out on your own. Take the path that each poem offers and find for yourself Somewhere to Follow.

Book Description
Solo World Traveler is packed with 101 tips, hacks and tricks for the solo world traveler. Together they will show you how heading out into the world all by yourself is not just possible but will also arm you with everything you need to turn your own travel dreams into reality. Inside you will find: • Ways of pushing through the fear – Many dream of traveling solo, far fewer actually do it. Fear tends to be the biggest barrier. The step-by-step element of this book shows you how to dissipate and overcome those fears enough to start packing your bags and living the dream. • Tips for deciding where to go - The world really is your oyster as a solo traveler. Learn how to unearth your dream destination and discover simple ways of hunting down the flight bargains to get you there. • Advice for the hesitant solo traveler – From crewing on a boat to knowing which accommodation choices give you instant companionship – these and many more secrets included in this book show those who may be a little reluctant to head out solo what their many options are. • Budgeting hacks and tips – Travelling to exotic and exciting destinations doesn't have to cost the earth. The pages of this book will show even those on a very tight budget how all of it is possible with limited funds. • How to eliminate the lone element -Solo travels can be anything but lonely travels - the tricks in this book show you why. • Staying safe – How to ensure your travels stay fun and trouble-free. • The packing dilemma – What to pack, what to leave behind – when you are headed out for the first (or even the tenth time) it can be hard to know what you should take with you. Here you will learn what is and isn't essential, step-by-step. About the Expert In 2003, after what she describes as a rather too close brush with the Grim Reaper, Deneice decided life was meant to be lived as if each day was her last. She sold her house and gave away almost all her belongings, including her successful professional gymnastics coaching business. With her surfboard under her arm and her pack on her back she set out to see what the world could show her. Fifteen years on she is still doing it – without a single regret - and with the majority of those years spent wandering the planet as a solo traveler. In 2010 she began writing and found to her surprise and delight that there were many people who were prepared to pay her for her words. This meant the end of a string of minimum wage jobs around the world which had previously been used to top up the travel funds. Her work as a freelance writer allows her to set up her 'office' wherever she happens to be – from beach huts to the middle of the jungle; sometimes she takes on voluntary work too. She describes herself as a permanent nomad hopelessly addicted to travel and the excitement of constantly learning and exploring, getting lost and found, never knowing what is around the next corner and having amazing encounters with incredible people. For her, everywhere and nowhere is home. Along with the vast collection of memories, stories and adventures her travels have given her she has also discovered, uncovered, realized and gathered a wealth of knowledge. This has made her traveling life significantly easier, far cheaper and helps her to squeeze every last drop of fun from her solo travels.
