Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Grandfather’s Mill – Journey to Freedom is a true story — part history, part biography. It focuses on two families and their two infant children, Andrew and Chrystyna, born in Western Ukraine at the height of the Second World War. Their parents fought for Ukrainian independence throughout the years of Polish occupation, the invasion of Stalin’s Bolshevik forces and during the years of Hitler’s Nazi terror. Members of both their families were murdered by one or another of the occupying armies. Family accounts of concentration camps, refugee camps; of war crimes, brutality and uncertainty, of hope, courage and unexpected generosity are interwoven with the historical realities of the time. They were among the lucky ones who found freedom in North America. Half a century after they left their homeland, Andrew and Chrystyna returned. They discovered the villages of their birth, found family members they didn’t know existed, experienced their culture fi rst-hand and fi nally began to make sense of their place in history. This book is written for future generations, for all those who have lived in two very different worlds, for victims of wars, present day refugees, immigrants and especially for those who were born and have always lived in a free country and never experienced the horrors of war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Jennie’s blend of witchcraft and hygge resonates so deeply with me. In Hearth and Home Witchcraft, Jennie’s book is a joyful and supportive exploration of domestic witchcraft. Nourishment and comfort are important themes here, as is accessibility; you don't need a background in magick to start exploring hearth-craft.” —Arin Murphy-Hiscock, author of The Green Witch, The House Witch, and other books For author Jennie Blonde, witchcraft is, in and of itself, comforting. Sure, there are not-so-comfortable parts as well—working with the shadow, coming face to face with that which holds you back. Jennie’s witchcraft is about connecting with the magic of nature, your higher self, and something beyond—a deity, deities, Spirit, the universe—and being comfortable with your true self in all aspects of your life. “In times of anxiety,” Jennie writes, “I turn to my practice. When I need a moment of calm and reflection, I retreat to my sacred space for quiet meditation, pulling tarot cards, and journaling to nourish my soul. When I want to nourish my family, I turn to my garden and herbs and cauldron (my stockpot) for a bit of kitchen witchery. When I wish to nourish my body, I turn to mindful movement, self-care rituals, and spell work. And throughout the day, every day, there are small rituals I perform to keep me connected to my practice. It’s all of those things together that are the heart of my craft.” Hearth and Home Witchcraft explores the following topics: rituals for protection and cleansing the hearth and home kitchen witchery, creating a kitchen altar, and recipes and rituals for nourishment the witch’s altar, tools, and spells, and creating a sacred space, no matter the size of the home herbs and plants, grounding rituals, and meditations to connect you with the earth witchy self-care, complete with rituals and recipes for ritual bath salts, oils, balms, and more

Download or read book God Pictures in Korean Contexts written by Laurel Kendall and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shamans walking on knives, fairies riding on clouds, kings with dragon mounts: They are gods and they are paper images. Some are repulsed and unsettled by shaman paintings, some cannot stop collecting them, and some use them as sites of veneration. Laurel Kendall, Jongsung Yang, and Yul Soo Yoon explore what it is that makes a Korean shaman painting magical or sacred. How does a picture carry the trace of a god and can it ever be “just a painting” again? How have shaman paintings been revalued as art? Do artfulness and magic ever intersect? Does it matter, as a matter of market value, that the painting was once a sacred thing? Navigating the journey shaman paintings make from painters’ studios to shaman shrines to private collections and museums, the three authors deftly traverse the borderland between scholarly interests in the material dimension of religious practice and the circulation of art. Illustrated with sixty images in color and black and white, the book offers a new vantage point on “the social life of things.” This is not a story of a collecting West and a disposing rest; the primary collectors and commentators on Korean shaman paintings are South Koreans re-imagining their own past in light of their own modernist sensibility. It is a tale told with an awareness of both recent South Korean history and the problematic question of how the paintings are understood by different South Korean actors, most particularly the shamans and collectors who share a common language and sometimes meet face-to-face.

Download or read book We Got Soul, We Can Heal written by Phyllis Jeffers-Coly and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet Alice Walker has described culture as something in which one should thrive; further, that healing means putting the heart, courage, and energy back into one's self within one's own culture. Similarly, the "yes, yes ya'll," phrase, used by classic 1990's-era hip hop DJs and artists, evokes the passion in Black American culture. Written with that same celebratory spirit--and using the idea of culture and SOUL synonymously--this book explores of the ways in which integrating SOUL (culture) with contemplative practices can foster healing and restoration, expanding our understanding of leadership and community interaction and impact. With years of experience in higher education and as a mentor and teacher living in Senegal, the author stresses the importance of celebrating Black cultures, including the role of ancestry, community interdependence, elder-mentors and institutions such as HBCUs.

Download or read book November 2 written by Ettore Grillo and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: November 2 is a special day in Sicily. The Day of the Dead is considered an important festival, when children receive gifts from the dead and eat special bone-shaped cakes. Cemeteries are overcrowded with people walking in the lanes, placing flowers at gravesites, and lighting candles in their tombs. Many Sicilian tombs look like small houses: They contain a room, an altar, and marble-walled niches. Mario Chiaramonte goes to the cemetery on this day. Besides visiting the tombs of his relatives and friends, he strolls throughout the graveyard. On his walk, he stumbles on some special tombs. A few have an epitaph carved on the tombstone or above the altar. The tombs he visits house the bodies of a Mafia boss, a literary man, a poet, a nobleman, and more. Mario recalls the salient moments of their lives, and at the same time sees himself from a different detached perspective. Romance, adventure, life, death, the Mafia, good and evil, racism, and impermanence are themes throughout the novel. November 2: The Day of the Dead in Sicily is thought-provoking and captivating from beginning to end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The One Minute Hero” is the story of how I became torn between saving the life of Jason, whom I met only once, and guaranteeing my own life. I was able to discover the value of life through the eyes of a stranger. Amidst this difficult decision my eight-year-old daughter stepped in and inspired me to be stronger and more compassionate than I thought was possible. Through my efforts to save Jason I was able to battle tragedy in my own life. It would take everything within me to overcome the abyss of my own mind. The light that I saw in Jason and his family would finally guide me out of that abyss and righted my ship. Though it appeared that our paths crossed for me to save him, Jason ended up saving me. This is the story of how I fought through the struggles of life, as well as how I had to change my perspective through the process. In doing this, the way I viewed the world was forever changed. I invite you to traverse through all of these random paths with me, and see how I became “The One Minute Hero”. I believe these paths may not have been random at all, but how I was put on a collision course to share this story with you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “exhilirating” novel of domestic terrorism in the gritty streets of 1980s New York from the National Book Award–finalist and author of Straight Cut (The New Yorker). As a staff photographer at Bellevue hospital in Manhattan, Clarence Dmitri Larkin is exposed to the fraying underbelly of New York City. Drawn in by the stories of the sick, the lost, and the insane, Larkin’s own dark impulses lead him through the streets of Brooklyn’s shadowy warehouse district. Increasingly isolated from the world around him, Larkin falls in with a disturbed cell of outcasts. Their ringleader, empowered by confused visions of grandeur and revolution, launches an outlandish scheme to plant an atomic bomb in the catacombs under Times Square. Narrated with unsettling plausibility, Bell’s debut novel demonstrates the remarkable literary skill celebrated in his later novels, such as Soldier’s Joy and The Year of Silence. With “real brilliance . . . full of fire . . . Bell provides promise: promise of his own talent and promise that young American writers are not all retreating from ‘big’ subjects” (The New York Times). “Every sentence [Bell] writes is a joy. His power is exhilarating.” —The New Yorker

Book excerpt: In the summer of 1987 on my way to California I visited a friend in New York. He invited me to accompany him to Pineridge Reservation in South Dakota where he planned to go on a traditional vision quest, and this journey changed my life. I lived in Berlin, Germany at the time and had been suffering since 4 years from severe panic attacks. After participating in a wonderful healing ceremony for a little girl who had been born with panic in her soul, and could never be approached by anyone but her mother, and who now smiled radiantly at us, free of fear - after this miracle the medicine man offered to do a ceremony for me. I was surprised. Why, did I need a healing? So used was I to my suffering that I could not imagine why I should need any help. And besides, out there on the reservation there was so much going on that was new and miraculous for me that I never had a panic attack. But since I did not want to disappoint him after this generous offer I agreed, and after the ceremony he conducted I never suffered another panic attack. In addition the book contains the medicine man's story, the fascinating account of a vision quest, and the very touching story of a man who was healed from Hodgkin's Disease after his doctors had given up on him.
