Book Synopsis Southern Spirits by : Robert F. Moss
Download or read book Southern Spirits written by Robert F. Moss and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating narrative history that traces liquor, beer, and wine drinking in the American South, including 40 cocktail recipes. Ask almost anyone to name a uniquely Southern drink, and bourbon and mint juleps--perhaps moonshine--are about the only beverages that come up. But what about rye whiskey, Madeira wine, and fine imported Cognac? Or peach brandy, applejack, and lager beer? At various times in the past, these drinks were as likely to be found at the Southern bar as barrel-aged bourbon and raw corn likker. The image of genteel planters in white suits sipping mint juleps on the veranda is a myth that never was--the true picture is far more complex and fascinating. Southern Spirits is the first book to tell the full story of liquor, beer, and wine in the American South. This story is deeply intertwined with the region, from the period when British colonists found themselves stranded in a new world without their native beer, to the 21st century, when classic spirits and cocktails of the pre-Prohibition South have come back into vogue. Along the way, the book challenges the stereotypes of Southern drinking culture, including the ubiquity of bourbon and the geographic definition of the South itself, and reveals how that culture has shaped the South and America as a whole.

Book Synopsis Conjuring Harriet "Mama Moses" Tubman and the Spirits of the Underground Railroad by : Witchdoctor Utu
Download or read book Conjuring Harriet "Mama Moses" Tubman and the Spirits of the Underground Railroad written by Witchdoctor Utu and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spirits of Harriet Tubman, John Brown, and other heroes of the Underground Railroad guide readers on a magical path to healing, empowerment, and liberation. The historical role that magic and soothsaying played in the Underground Railroad has long been ignored out of fear it might diminish the legacy of Harriet Tubman and other heroes of that time. However, Harriet Tubman was a Conjure woman who relied on her dreams and visionary experiences to lead her followers to freedom. Revered as “Mama Moses,” she, along with John Brown, Mary Ellen Pleasant, and others have been venerated since their deaths. They now have emerged in the 21st century as the pantheon of a new and increasingly popular African-Diaspora tradition. Written by Witchdoctor Utu, founder of the Niagara Voodoo Shrine, this is the first book devoted to the spiritual and magical tradition of the Underground Railroad. In it, the author conjures the spirits of the Underground Railroad, their continued connection to each other, and their “tracks” still leading to freedom from obstacles, bondage, and trouble and tribulations of all kinds. It is a spiritual tradition that is broadly accessible and inclusive, much like the historical Underground Railroad itself, whose participants were black, white, and Native American, male and female, Christians, Jews, Quakers, animists, secret devotees of forbidden African religions, and free thinkers of all kinds. This revelatory book teaches readers how to invoke the blessings of Mama Moses and her followers, access their healing inspiration and magic powers, and seek their own path to freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evil Spirits Cause Chaos in a Psychic's Life provides a raw, unfiltered account of the hidden dangers within the spiritual realm. This captivating read, emerging as a poignant addition to psychic books, navigates the complex journey of a fifty-year-old mother who stumbles upon her latent psychic abilities. The author unravels her experiences with malevolent spirits that pose as spirit guides, offering first-hand knowledge to readers seeking answers to questions such as “Who is my spirit guide?" and "Are spirit guides bad?" She candidly shares the turmoil these spirits caused, manipulating her trust, inducing chaos, and escalating their attacks when their deceit was threatened. As she ventures into the supernatural realm, she emphasizes the importance of seeking spiritual guidance. She stresses the importance of faith’s paramount role in the responsible development of one’s psychic abilities. The book is primarily tailored for psychics, especially those discovering their psychic abilities later in life and grappling with confusion and numerous questions. Readers learn from the author's experiences, making the book an invaluable resource, almost a spiritual guidance handbook for empaths and psychics. However, its scope extends beyond adult psychics and offers insightful knowledge to children psychics, making it an inclusive empath and psychic abilities book. The author's encounter with the spiritual battle between good and evil is at the heart of this intriguing narrative, emphasizing the need for firm faith and resilience. The author vividly recounts her life-altering miracle, a visible cross on a full moon, and the subsequent spiritual battle that fortified her faith in God. Readers experience her vivid visualization of wielding a luminous cross, symbolizing her soul intermingled with divine protection as she fought against the onslaught of malicious spirits. Evil Spirits Cause Chaos in a Psychic's Life serves as an eye-opening account and a compelling guide, providing readers with an understanding of the intricate world of psychic abilities, emphasizing the importance of spiritual discernment, and fortifying their resolve to confront and overcome adversities.
Book Synopsis A Thousand Thirsty Beaches by : Lisa Lindquist Dorr
Download or read book A Thousand Thirsty Beaches written by Lisa Lindquist Dorr and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa Lindquist Dorr tells the story of the vast smuggling network that brought high-end distilled spirits and, eventually, other cargoes (including undocumented immigrants) from Great Britain and Europe through Cuba to the United States between 1920 and the end of Prohibition. Because of their proximity to liquor-exporting islands, the numerous beaches along the southern coast presented ideal landing points for smugglers and distribution points for their supply networks. From the warehouses of liquor wholesalers in Havana to the decks of rum runners to transportation networks heading northward, Dorr explores these operations, from the people who ran the trade to the determined efforts of the U.S. Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies to stop liquor traffic on the high seas, in Cuba, and in southern communities. In the process, she shows the role smuggling played in creating a more transnational, enterprising, and modern South.
Book Synopsis Haunted Holidays by : Roberta Simpson Brown
Download or read book Haunted Holidays written by Roberta Simpson Brown and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2015-09-07 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “From ghost dogs to phantom orbs, from dead spirits visiting and avenging wraiths, there is plenty . . . to keep skeptic and believer both enthralled.” —Thomas Freese, coauthor of Haunted Battlefields of the South With its tales of benevolent and malicious specters, terrifying monsters, and unexplained phenomena, Halloween is the holiday most people associate with spooky stories. But do spirits remain hidden the rest of the year? In the rich storytelling customs of the commonwealth, the supernatural world is also connected with holidays such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Memorial Day. In Haunted Holidays, celebrated storytellers Roberta Simpson Brown and Lonnie E. Brown have assembled a hair-raising collection of paranormal tales for readers of all ages. The stories present many new and spooky characters, including the deceased great aunt who still rocks in her favorite chair on Mother’s Day, the young boy who made good on his promise to return a silver dollar on the Fourth of July, and even the ghost who hated Labor Day. In addition to tales of haunting, the Browns reveal many Appalachian legends and their importance to the storytelling tradition, such as the phantom bells who guide the dead to the other side, and a “chime child” born when the clock strikes midnight on Christmas Day, who is rumored to be blessed with the gift of second sight. More than a collection of ghost stories or family legends, Haunted Holidays takes readers on a fireside journey that preserves and promotes oral traditions, revealing the importance of sharing beliefs, traditions, and values with a new generation of listeners.
Download or read book Shamanism written by Mircea Eliade and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundational work on shamanism now available as a Princeton Classics paperback Shamanism is an essential work on the study of this mysterious and fascinating phenomenon. The founder of the modern study of the history of religion, Mircea Eliade surveys the tradition through two and a half millennia of human history, moving from the shamanic traditions of Siberia and Central Asia—where shamanism was first observed—to North and South America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond. In this authoritative survey, Eliade illuminates the magico-religious life of societies that give primacy of place to the figure of the shaman—at once magician and medicine man, healer and miracle-doer, priest, mystic, and poet. Synthesizing the approaches of psychology, sociology, and ethnology, Shamanism remains the reference book of choice for those interested in this practice.
