The Magus: A Complete System of Occult Philosophy in Three Books , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
All three books of Francis Barrett's superb compendium of occult thought are presented in this single volume. An excellent work which encompasses much of the occult lore to have emerged over the preceding centuries, The Magus unites and presents occultist and alchemical wisdom in an organized and exhaustive manner. Francis Barrett designed this book to guide and imbue aspiring practitioners of the occult arts with a working knowledge of the rituals and materials required. Commencing with magic, we are offered a comprehensive accounts of its capabilities and the tools needed for its use. Natural magic is defined, as are the many philters and potions which may be created and imbued with its essence. Various historical examples of magicians who had, for good or ill, gained public notice for their practices are given. The later chapters, meanwhile, concern the properties of magical stones such as the legendary Philosophers Stone, and the arcane arts of combining creatures of nature, and the sometimes monstrous results. The Magus itself is termed the Celestial Intelligencer; beginning with a basic account of the four elements, we traverse each in more detail before delving into the more esoteric practices. The symbolism of numbers and of the astronomical bodies of the heavens are detailed, sometimes with the help of charts. The second book offers an occultist account of the magnetism - distinct from the magnetism of physics, the occult magnetism is instead defined by an attraction of two or more people to one another. The various potions, incantations, and other practices used to draw people together (or apart) are listed, with some consideration given to witchcraft. The second book's later portions concern "ceremonial magic", whereby practitioners may call upon spirits for insight or other purposes. Much of the book is concerned with the traits necessary of the magician, and the prepar ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Douglas Thornton.

Do you wish you had more vacation time? Once you learn how to fit 2-hour vacations and regular leisure time into your life, you will be better at switching into a "vacation mindset" and become more efficient at relaxing. A lot of us work too much without taking enough time to recover. This is unfortunate because taking time off improves our health, relationships, and our thinking. Additionally, studies indicate that when we do return to work, after leisure time, we are more efficient and productive than we were before. With this book: You'll learn how to get into a vacation mindset You'll discover that the health benefits from 2-hour vacations are just as, if not more, important than one or two week long vacations You'll see that you don't have to break the bank, or take a tropical vacation to relax You'll find many ideas to get your creative juices flowing and realize that the 2-hour vacation options are endless We all take vacations for various reasons, but almost none of them achieve the subconsciously desired result of being able to rejuvenate in a meaningful way. They are prefaced by the wrong notions and punctuated by false expectations. Most vacations are structured incorrectly from the start and usurp more vitality than imbue peace in the end. The typical vacationer returns home with great pictures, interesting souvenirs, and a hefty bill while what they really needed - what their soul really needed, was some time to still the madness. A proper vacation does three things. It takes you away from the stresses and demands of your daily life, it gives your body time to heal and rejuvenate, and it invigorates your mind by returning you to your natural rhythm. The objective is to enjoy the effects of a vacation without actually going anywhere and the trick here involves a mind hack and we will walk you through it. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Notes on 41
Am Anfang war das Wort. Genauer: ein Gerücht, das Max Eulitz im Jahr 2019 einen Flieger nach Kiew besteigen ließ. Er folgte der Fama von einem aufstrebenden neuen Technoclub - namenlos, aber voller Versprechen. Während einer Residenz am Goethe-Institut Kiew beobachtete er, wie sich eine gewaltige Brauerei aus Sowjetzeiten in einen Club ohne Namen verwandelte - ein Zentrum der Subkultur, wild entschlossen, es mit den großen Tanzkathedralen der westlichen Welt aufzunehmen. Notes on 41 versammelt eine Reihe von Essays, die jene Umstände schildern, unter denen dieser Club entstanden ist und umreißt dabei die strukturellen Herausforderungen und den historischen Kontext, die diesem Ort in der Kiewer Post-Maidan-Landschaft eine solche Dynamik verleihen. Das Baudenkmal und seine Metamorphose waren dabei im Zentrum der Recherchen und stehen pars pro toto für die Komplexität der sozialen und politischen Gesamtlage in der gegenwärtigen Ukraine. Max Eulitz, geb. 1987 in Leipzig lebt und arbeitet als Künstler und Autor in Berlin.--In the beginning was the word. Or rather, a rumour that put Max Eulitz on a flight to Kyiv in 2019. He was following the chatter about an ambitious new techno club: one without a name, yet full of promise. During a residency at the Goethe-Institut Kyiv, Eulitz witnessed the transformation of a massive, Soviet-era brewery into this no-name club-a centre of subculture intent on rivalling the best techno churches of the Western world. This landmark site, and the implications of its historical transmutation into such a space, became the focus of his research. Notes on 41 is a collection of essays illustrating the circumstances surrounding the creation of this nightclub. The book outlines structural challenges and the historical context, which imbue this site with such vitality, in Kyiv's post-Maidan landscape. The issues raised consider the complexity of the sociopolitical situation in Ukraine. Max Eulitz, b. 1987 in Leipzig, is an artist and writer who lives and works in Berlin.- Shop: buecher

Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Travels with George . . . is quintessential Philbrick-a lively, courageous, and masterful achievement." -The Boston Globe Does George Washington still matter? Bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick argues for Washington's unique contribution to the forging of America by retracing his journey as a new president through all thirteen former colonies, which were now an unsure nation. Travels with George marks a new first-person voice for Philbrick, weaving history and personal reflection into a single narrative. When George Washington became president in 1789, the United States of America was still a loose and quarrelsome confederation and a tentative political experiment. Washington undertook a tour of the ex-colonies to talk to ordinary citizens about his new government, and to imbue in them the idea of being one thing-Americans. In the fall of 2018, Nathaniel Philbrick embarked on his own journey into what Washington called "the infant woody country" to see for himself what America had become in the 229 years since. Writing in a thoughtful first person about his own adventures with his wife, Melissa, and their dog, Dora, Philbrick follows Washington's presidential excursions: from Mount Vernon to the new capital in New York; a monthlong tour of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island; a venture onto Long Island and eventually across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. The narrative moves smoothly between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries as we see the country through both Washington's and Philbrick's eyes. Written at a moment when America's founding figures are under increasing scrutiny, Travels with George grapples bluntly and honestly with Washington's legacy as a man of the people, a reluctant president, and a plantation owner who held people in slavery. At historic houses and landmarks, Philbrick reports on the reinterpretations at work as he meets reenactors, tour guides, and other keepers of history's flame. He paints a picture of eighteenth-century America as divided and fraught as it is today, and he comes to understand how Washington compelled, enticed, stood up to, and listened to the many different people he met along the way-and how his all-consuming belief in the union helped to forge a nation.- Shop: buecher

Unfolding
For the most part, I use simple folk chords, take trains of thought sometimes flavoured with twisted idiom and imbue them with an intention to capture with integrity, the living of a life. Please accept these imperfect offerings hinting at the ideal theme. Robert Hanly The sleeve notes contribute to the fuller appreciation of what's going on in the songs. I was surprised by the degree of enthusiasm I felt for the generation of material (Quotes, photos and poems) supportive of the songs. I am indebted to Les Love in particular, for his kind contribution of some of his fantastic works including 'Birdman', inside the cover. Here's a blurb used to promote the CD launch: The songs presented on this album reflect one person's intimate observations of the many facets of our social existence. They move from evocative and mellow to bouncy and joyful. 'Unfolding' is the album being launched by 'The Bridge'. And 'The Bridge' is what you get when a teenage rock guitarist from Saiba Island (Dux Waia-Newton), a Maltese/Balkan/Middle Eastern wind player, percussionist and vocalist (Andy Busuttil) and a classy singer-songwriter get together. 'The Bridge': a wonderful trans-cultural and trans-generational performance of original compositions by Robert Hanly. Come and see the launch of this very fine project and Robert's new CD 'Unfolding' at Tris Elies in Katoomba on ........It went well. This record is dedicated to the memory of my friend and father, R B Hanly of whom one quotation in the sleeve notes has a story attached: whilst camping in the Blue Mountains, Australia, having tucked my two sons into the tent (so to speak) I returned to the camp-fire where my father sat transfixed and transported by the fire. He turned to me with a faraway look in his eyes and slowly articulated his 'Aha!' moment- "The beauty of the encounter is in the mystery of the unfolding." This became something like a signature reference and I refer to this quote in 'Life is a Song' in which I attempt to articulate the perspective and influence RB brought to bear during his brief sojourn on the planet. In this context, it seems apt to tell that the very first song on which I learned to accompany myself with guitar was 'Father and Son' by Cat Stevens. Soon after this in about 1975, my brother's girlfriend lent me two songbooks: Leonard Cohen and Neil Young. Thanks Angela, Leonard and Neil. These books coupled with a pre-existing respect for both artists (Jackson Browne figured pretty heavily in there as well) set me on a trajectory informed by a respect for words and the challenge to set them to music in an attractive form.- Shop: odax

Masterpieces: Contemplation
This album is another collection of four masterpieces on the classical Indian flute by the legendary Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao. The performances capture a desire to restore righteous splendor to the human condition in the midst of drowning anguish. The album resonates with ennobling music that both empathizes and inspires. Says the artist, often known as the foremost exponent of the Indian flute ever - "It is hard not to be touched by disparity. Wherever I live, the human condition is fraught with despair. I have tried to imbue this album with elaborate visions of a lost world full of romance and majesty. It may be the midst of a burdensome night, but we can aspire to grandeur befitting our nature." Through the past six decades, Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao has shaped and influenced the essential form and derivatives of culture known to the world as classically Indian. It can be authoritatively said that with his performances on the Indian flute in front of audiences worldwide, and recordings thereof, he has interpreted ancient music for modern ears with an understanding that is chaste, and an elocution that stimulates intellects, both mature and young. His genius has also expressed itself in critically acclaimed works for modern orchestral and ballet ensembles. Several award winning features and short films shown at some of the most prestigious international film festivals carry his experimental music. Critics and connoisseurs of his expression in Asia, Europe and America have responded with meaningful praise. To note a few- 'No substitute for his flute...the complete master' - The Hindustan Times "A volcano of creative expression' - The Indian Express "His flute is an unending fountain of myriad melodies, always fresh, always original..." - The Patriot 'Creator of beautiful, wide and ethereal canvasses...' - The Deccan Herald '20th Century Renaissance Genius..' - The Cleveland Plain Dealer 'Intensely romantic...lyrical...extremely serene...' - Rave Magazine "Innovator in the world of music.. a versatile genius.," -The JS Magazine "Seeker of truth through music. One of the greatest flautists of this world" - The Times of India "Reflective music, refreshing and genuinely haunting" - The New York Times "Awe inspiring. Freshness and finesse in every note. Marked by gay abandon, innovativeness and imaginative vitality" - The Statesman "Suave tonicity, lyricism, rich melodic beauty" - The Listening Post Panditji's awards, citations and press have reflected public sentiments of awe and respect for one who has staked new vistas for an ancient tradition, unfettered by a need for acceptance or accolades. He has been bestowed with prestigious honors in India, the United States, the former Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. In India alone, he has received multiple Sangit Natak Akademi awards, the titles of Sangit Kala Shiromani and Gana Kala Prapoorna, the Gaurav Puraskar, Lifetime Achievement awards and honorary doctorates. In 2002, the Governor of Maryland bestowed Panditji with an honorary citation for his contributions to strengthening cultural ties between India and the United States. In 2008, he received the prestigious Aditya Birla Kala Shikhar (Zenith of Art) award from the Governor of Maharashtra. Panditji's creative works in the realms of dance, orchestral composition and film music are recognized for an energizing originality that is often perceived to extend the boundaries of the artistic idiom. His compositions in dance and music have set trends, recognized worldwide with awards, and permeated musical expression in cultural media such as film, ballet and recordings. Panditji's scores for Mrinal Sen's 'Bhuvan Shome' (honored with the Golden Peacock, IFF, New Delhi) and painter M.F. Hussein's 'Through The Eyes of a Painter' (honored with the Golden Bear, Berlin Film Festival) are just two examples of such brilliance. As a poet, Panditji has published five well- received anthologies of poems and short stories in English and Telugu. Musicians are a rare species of human beings, seeking originality in the midst of what is the norm, expressing the voice of the human condition to those who experience it every day, seeking new spirits and notes in scales that have not changed in two thousand years. And it may be said that over half a century, Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao has been the preeminent musician to more than a generation of musicians, connoisseurs, musicologists and fans in India and parts of the world outside.- Shop: odax
