Byron Ballard Foreword by Amy Blackthorn, author of Blackthorn's Botanical Magic • Part Pagan reverie, part practical guide to living in harmony with the natural world • Offers practical activities and suggestions An invitation to earth-based spirituality and ritual living, for all those who are inspired to reconnect with the seasons, whether they live in the country, the city, or anyplace in between. Seasons of a Magical Life looks at the Wheel of the Year and its basis in agriculture as a starting point for a deepening spirituality. Folklorist H. Byron Ballard offers a set of backstories to ease the reader into a time between the pre-industrial era and the modern one, into a place where the fast-moving stress of contemporary life can be affected by a better connection not only to the natural world but to the elegant expression of the year through seasonal festivals and celebrations. The chapters are broken into the four seasons and feature simple skills that accompany each marker in the year. The author provides advice on spiritual and physical immersion into the seasons that applies to readers from all areas: rural, urban, and suburban.

    ELEMENT ENCYCLOPEDIA OF 5000 SPELLS: THE ULTIMATE REFERENCE BOOK FOR THE MAGICAL ARTS PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Judika Illes | 1120 pages | 01 Mar 2004 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007164653 | English | London, United Kingdom Element Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells: The Ultimate Reference Book for the Magical Arts PDF Book Judika Illes. I would not recommend this book to the novice witch for spellcasting because many of the spells if used without careful thought could cause unintended harm. Following over a decade of independent study, I earned a certificate in therapeutic aromatherapy. However, I was incredibly disappointed to see it explicity mention changelings as a metaphor for autism, and then list spells to save or cure your child. NOOK Book. But then certain sections caught my eye and I realised this book literally caters to Christians, Wiccans, witches, and people who practice voodoo, hoodoo, Chinese magick and so much more. Aug 17, Juli Anna rated it liked it Shelves: spirit. This book is by far the most comprehensive book that I have found on magic in my 20 years of following a Pagan path. I read through the more knowledgeable things - and as other people have mentioned here, it is one big reference book. If you have a Book of Shadows or witchy journal that you want to pass through the family then ensure this goes with it. Enlarge cover. Jan 31, Priscilla rated it it was amazing. A personal friend of ours, Judika is very knowledgable of all the various types of spiritual paths out there. I would have one major disagreement with this book though.

This information should not be used as a substitute or replacement for advice, diagnosis or treatment from your healthcare provider. AFRICAN AMERICAN VEGAN STARTER GUIDE Welcome I’m Tracye McQuirter, public health nutritionist, author and vegan for 30 years, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you to the African American Vegan Starter Guide, where we show you sim- ple ways to begin a plant-based lifestyle. So if you’ve been thinking about going vegan, congratulations! It can be one of the most life-changing decisions you’ll ever make. And in this guide, we’ll help you get there. I’m joined by some of my expert colleagues in the plant-based field to answer your most common questions about how to transition to vegan food. With everything from why to do it, what to eat, how to get all the nutrients you need, how to make it affordable and delicious, how to eat out and socialize as a vegan and how to raise vegan children—we’ve got you covered. We know going vegan can seem challenging, but don’t worry. We’ve been there. In fact, in my case, I never thought I’d be a vegan. Growing up, I actually hated healthy food, especially vegetables. In 7th grade at Sidwell Friends School, I even wrote a petition against two of my teachers who wanted to make our class camping trip all-vegetarian.

    Black Veganism and the Animality Politic

    society & animals 27 (2019) 127-131 brill.com/soan Review Section ∵ Black Veganism and the Animality Politic Aph Ko and Syl Ko, Aphro-ism: Essays on Pop Culture, Feminism, and Black Veganism from Two Sisters. Lantern Books, 2017. 202 pp. I was first introduced to Aph and Syl Ko when they reached out to me in early 2013, just in the infancy of our blogging careers. It was an exciting time for digi- tal activism, as feminist online publishing seemed to bridge the gap between the forgotten tomes of vegan feminist theory collecting dust in libraries and the vibrant, fast-paced conversations happening across social media. In July of that year, I launched Vegan Feminist Network (VFN) in heavy collaboration with Aph. It is a blog intended to bring voice to critical ideas about intersec- tionality and social justice within the nonhuman animal rights movement, ideas that had been stifled in prevailing theoretical dialogues and activist con- versations. Aph and Syl contributed a number of essays to VFN, all of which were immensely popular. Their perspective was so fresh and thought-provok- ing, it seemed real change was possible. Cracks were beginning to emerge in the white patriarchal hegemony that had reified American nonhuman animal rights efforts, and this included my own positionality. I was personally changed as an activist and a thinker in an immeasurable way through my early work- ing relationship with them, and I know many other activists and scholars can report having experienced the same Ko effect. Aph and Syl soon moved on from VFN to launch and curate spaces of their own, and rightfully so, as great minds such as theirs need freedom and control to most appropriately disseminate their ideas.
