Book Description
Cancer is everywhere! There is hardly a person among us that has not been touched by this deadly disease. It takes different shapes. None are good. Many are deadly. The effects of cancer go way beyond those who are afflicted with the disease. Family, extended included, as well as friends are effected. Our healthcare system is stressed trying to take care of, and find a cure for the disease. We as a society seek answers. Improvements have been made, but all too often the cure is as bad as the disease. Imagine now a fantasy world that faces the same challenge. The only difference is that the disease is brought on by an evil witch by the name of "Cancer." She has embraced everything about the illness and made it her own. Because of her own suffering as a child, she decides to inflict a curse on all the land to make everyone suffer like she did. Just like our world, the populace has grown weary of the battle. They fight on every day, but the witch has much at her disposal. Three terrifying ice dragons stalk the lands destroying villages, devouring horses and cattle, and putting fear into the hearts of all. Shannon a potion master has spent decades trying to find a cure to the curse of Cancer when one day quite by accident she happens upon a cure. Once word gets out that a cure has been found, people start to bond together to cure as many as they can. Children have been hit especially hard with the disease. Shortly after Shannon's discovery a town hall meeting is set to discuss a plan to end the curse forever. Kate, a school teacher, steps forward to assist in getting transportation. Shannon and her assistant Michelle start the long journey to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon to find ingredients for more potion. Hank, just a citizen of the town, takes on the task of assembling a group of runners that are tasked with getting the potion to an annual festival held every year in the winter for the children with the curse. Very early on, they find o

Powerful attraction in one small bag Cultures worldwide have long incorporated small bags containing herbs, stones, and other sacred items as part of their belief systems, whether to ward off evil, protect them while traveling or to attract positive elements into their lives.

Magic’s in the Bag explores this history, plus offers 75 simple spells to create your own gris gris bag, including bags for prosperity, safe travel, contacting spirits, protection and more. You’ll get tips on which plants to use, what stones are appropriate, what spells work best for phases of the moon — even how to grow a gris gris garden! Jude Bradley is a writer, editor, producer, and teacher. She also works as a spiritual consultant, using card readings, mediumship, and energy guidance in her practice. Jude lives in the Boston area.

The High Magic of Talismans and Amulets
Author: Claude Lecouteux
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1620552809
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
A comprehensive study of the use of talismans and amulets in the Western Mystery Tradition • Provides an in-depth look at the medieval and Renaissance use of amulets and talismans, including the work of Agrippa, Albertus Magnus, and Athanasius Kircher • Provides a full summary of the magical knowledge required to make an amulet or talisman, including the invocations required to activate their powers • Reviews different kinds of amulets and talismans, from ancient jewelry and magical objects to the modern rabbit’s foot or lucky horseshoe The use of talismans and amulets stretches back nearly to the dawn of man, from everyday items magically prepared, such as horns or coins, to intricate and beautiful jewelry imbued with protective powers. Drawing on his private collection of medieval manuscripts as well as his privileged access to the rare book archives of major European universities, Claude Lecouteux provides a comprehensive history of the use of talismans and amulets for protection, healing, and divine influence. He explores their use in the Western Mystery Tradition as well as Eastern and Middle Eastern beliefs about these magical objects and their incorporation--despite Church anathema--into the Christian tradition of Medieval Europe. Reviewing many different kinds of amulets and talismans used throughout the ages, such as a rabbit’s foot, horseshoe, gris-gris bag, or an inscribed parchment charged through ritual, he details the principles and symbology behind each object and shows that their use is still as widespread today as any time in the past. Lecouteux explains the high magic behind the hermetic art of crafting amulets and talismans: the chains of sympathy, astrological geography, and the invocations required to activate their powers. He explores the work of adepts such as Agrippa, Albertus Magnus, and Athanasius Kircher, including an in-depth look at Kircher’s work on planetary seals in his Oedipus Aegyptiacus. Illustrated throughout with period art depicting magical symbols, seals, and a wide array of talismans and amulets, this comprehensive study provides a practical guide to the historical development and step-by-step creation of magical objects.
