"The book returns the Craft to its primordial forces—animism; baneful plants, folk magic, ecstasy, and hedge-witchery—without gatekeeping, armchair pseudo-academia, or pretension.”—Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch Regional traditional witchcraft is an animistic form of witchcraft that moves away from the religious harvest festivals and fertility-minded practices associated with the more common Wiccan form of witchcraft. Very few of us in this age are farmers or dependent upon crops and harvests. Regional traditional witchcraft teaches people to find their craft in their own backyards, in the uncultivated land or urban cityscape alike, and in their ancestors rather than in ancient foreign deities or in a neopagan-styled religious form of witchcraft. It's not about where you're from but where you are. The material in this book is adaptable to any region in which the practitioner lives. Although the lack of deity worship and holy days is a significant part of the authors' nonreligious approach, this book presents a complete system of practice utilizing ritual, chant, trance, the six paths of witchcraft as defined and explained by the text, and the practices associated with traditional witchcraft.

Within the Yoga Sutra, an ancient text about the practice of yoga, only two verses mention asanas, or the postures we commonly associate with yoga in the West. Patanjali, the legendary sage and author of this 2,250-year-old work, was concerned not solely with physical development, or even mental development. In fact, the original purpose of yoga was-and remains-to function as a complete spiritual path where the body serves as a gateway to enlightenment. On The Yoga Matrix, the renowned instructor Richard Freeman immerses us in the rich teachings and sutras that inform the many schools of yoga, and reveals how the body can serve as the ultimate laboratory, temple, and place of pilgrimage for spiritual inquiry. Looking back 5,000 years, Freeman uncovers the living roots of yoga philosophy, and observes how they have grown into many schools, techniques, and philosophies that are united by a vast, interpenetrating matrix that holds the key to understanding yoga's full depth and greater purpose. Freeman first traveled to India in 1968, where he began a lifetime of study with the living masters of yoga and its mysteries. Now he teaches these authentic lessons and their original subtleties, with the questions and concerns of the serious Western student in mind. What is the yogic view of reality? Why was yoga first developed? How is progress traditionally measured? What are the principles of working with the body's subtle energy? Where do I start? From profound concepts at the center of this ancient cosmic philosophy, to the cherished teaching stories and chants that enrich its daily practice, here is a complete audio curriculum with the power to catalyze your daily yoga practice. Highlights: Yoga, nondualism, and the present moment . How the major schools of yoga relate to one another . The Jeweled Net of Indra, and the metapattern of the yoga matrix . Your body-its surprising place in the yoga matrix . Asanas: containers for meditation practice . Nadis-the body's rivers of energy . Kundalini energy and how it awakens . Five Element Theory-its application to yoga . The Sankhya System-from solid earth to transparent mind . The nectar of Tantra . The nine obstacles to yoga practice, and how to overcome them .

How can we define the referential systems by which music is determined and through which music gets its own sense and meaning? What is the relation between these systems? Such questions are of particular weight in relation to current music practices, characterized by a great many analytical procedures and hermeneutical views. The questions raised open a Series of different thematic fields presented in this book. The authors allocate the place of music to the field of aesthetic autonomy or describe its specific sign system(s). Special attention is focused on the systems of musicological contextualization and the meaning/understanding of music in different historical and/or functional contexts, from traditional liturgical chant up to recent compositions. Various contributions in the collection are dedicated to the relation between music and film, while others deal with the special sociological conditions that constitute some specific musical praxis, such as folk or rock music.

"Singing is as human as breathing, and this book tells us why." -Mark Guarino, contributing music writer, The Guardian Celebrated yogi-musician Girish opens new possibilities for transforming your life through song, combining the ancient art of singing mantra with twenty-first century neuroscience research. For as long as he can remember, Girish has created rhythm to accompany life. His first experience of music as sacred art came in college, playing with jazz bands. "During improvisational sessions," he recalls, "there were these unexplainable moments of synchronicity and intuition that felt like magic." This led Girish to an unexpected journey-a seeming detour to live as a monk in an ashram for five years that inadvertently nourished his musical artistry. Here, he studied Sanskrit as a means to understand the deeper meanings of ancient chants, which sparked a life-changing event that led him back to music-and to combine music with Sanskrit chants. Now he shares what he's learned to help people of all ages, backgrounds, and traditions to transform body, brain, and life through mantra and music. With Music and Mantras, Girish has created an interactive toolkit-including more than ninety minutes of companion audio material-for personal transformation through singing, sharing his own experience as a musician, yogi, and former Hindu monk. Weaving simple, elegant mantras from ancient traditions with neuroscience, Girish shows us how to achieve greater peace of mind, clarity, calm, focus, and even improved health and wealth through the yogic art of chanting-an ideal practice for singing our way to happiness, health, and prosperity.

Tens of millions of people poured onto the streets for Black Lives Matter, bringing with them a wholly new idea of public safety, common security, and the delivery of justice, communicating that vision in the fiery vernacular of riot, rebellion, and protest. A World without Police transcribes these new ideas-written in slogans and chants, over occupied bridges and hastily assembled barricades-into a compelling, must-read manifesto for police abolition. Compellingly argued and lyrically charged, A World without Police offers concrete strategies for confronting and breaking police power, as a first step toward building community alternatives that make the police obsolete. Surveying the post-protest landscape in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Oakland, as well as the people who have experimented with policing alternatives at a mass scale in Latin America, Maher details the institutions we can count on to deliver security without the disorganizing interventions of cops: neighborhood response networks, community-based restorative justice practices, democratically organized self-defense projects, and well-resourced social services. A World without Police argues that abolition is not a distant dream or an unreachable horizon but an attainable reality. In communities around the world, we are beginning to glimpse a real, lasting justice in which we keep us safe.

Deepen your practice with this audio journey into the source-language teachings of yoga Yoga practitioners know there's more to the path than asana, or physical postures-but how do we access the deeper wisdom of yogic philosophy? More than 2,000 years ago, the legendary master Patanjali answered this question in 195 pearls of insight known as the Yoga Sutras. Now Sanskrit and Ayurveda teacher Nicolai Bachman offers The Yoga Sutras, an audio program with a fresh approach to working with Patanjali's seminal text for guidance and inspiration on your own journey toward clarity and happiness. Why do we react the way we do in certain situations? How can suffering be an opportunity for growth? Why are nonviolence and truth important to a student? Patanjali's sutras offer an illuminating perspective on these questions and more. To help integrate this wisdom into our modern life, Bachman offers a unique approach. Instead of reading each sutra sequentially from beginning to end, he focuses on and discusses 51 key concepts. By exploring these principles and learning to chant the sutras in Sanskrit, the essence of yogic philosophy is revealed-helping us open to its heart and soul. The Yoga Sutras invites you to discover a variety of practical tools and heartfelt insights for transforming your practice, including: Six sessions full of insights to further your learning about yoga's essential principles ¿ A guided reading of the complete sutras with pronunciation instructions for following along ¿ Key concepts for understanding the social, religious, and historical context of the sutras ¿ Teachings on humility, the inner light of awareness, the nature of suffering, the importance of nonviolence, the meaning of liberation, and much more As you immerse yourself in Patanjali's sutras, the heart of yoga-and what yoga means for you personally-will unveil itself in new and profound ways. Whether you're a seasoned teacher or a student looking to go deeper with your practice, this essential course offers a treasury of teachings to help realize the "outer joy and inner happiness" of yoga.

"Sound is more than simply a medium of artistic expression. Sound has practical and powerful applications in the real world." Mantras, or simple chants, are short phrases packed with energy and intention--specifically designed to generate powerful sound waves that promote healing, insight, creativity, and spiritual growth. Healing Mantras is the practical, how-to guide that makes the strengths and benefits of mantras available to everyone. The transformative power of sound has been passed down to the present from the sages of India, the classical scientists of ancient Greece, and the medieval monks of Europe. Mantras, sounds, and chants have inspired, comforted, and mended the lives of individuals, religious orders, and even entire cultures. Even though the science and discipline of chanting and formal prayer are practiced in every religion around the world, this is the first time that ancient Sanskrit mantras have been explained and adapted to Western needs. One of the few Western experts in Hindu and Buddhist mantras, Thomas Ashley-Farrand has practiced mantra-based spiritual disciplines for twenty-five years. In this illuminating book, he explains how and why mantras work and shows how to use them for everything from controlling habits to overcoming fear, from curing specific ailments to finding inner peace. In each of the more than fifty mantras, all translated from the original Sanskrit, Ashley-Farrand unlocks the power of every word, explains its appropriate application, and tells you how to pronounce it in easy-to-follow phonetic symbols. Inside, you'll find mantras for - Health - Worldly Success - Habit Control - Protection - Grief - Anger - Controlling Fear - Personal Attraction - Wisdom - Concentration and Mental Clarity - Healing Life Issues - and more! These mantras can be repeated aloud or in silence and can be used by people of any religion or spiritual practice, "as you wash dishes, as you drive on the freeway, as you meditate, or as you cook." Sound can help and sound can heal, and Healing Mantras now makes this sound medicine available to everyone.

Modern day witches are a culmination of the old and new-they travel to the grocery store, work nine to fives, and teach in our classrooms. They carry black tourmaline and quartz, and wave bay and rosemary bundles over their doorways. Within an ancient sacred practice, a new generation of witches are rising; those who understand the power of action paired with energy and intent, who fight for the best versions of themselves through whispered chants and candlelight and match their activism with manifestation. The modern witch creates change within the hearth, the heart, and the world, one spell at a time. Frankie Castanea is at the centre of a thriving community of modern practitioners who use witchcraft to enrich their lives day-to-day and improve the world around them. In Spells for Change, Frankie demonstrates how witchcraft has both personal and worldwide applications, whether it's protecting the home or self from negative energies through boundaries and charms or binding a harmful person to help a friend. Each brings you closer to creating change within yourself, the environment around you, and the society we live in, and closer to a greater awareness of the Universe and the energies that exist within it. Including studies of meditation, grounding, manifestation, cleansing, protection, banishing and binding, this book will teach you how to enact personal and global change. From justice spells and banishing unwanted energy to spells to help you on the journey to self-love and self-prioritization, Frankie shows that, at its heart, witchcraft is a force for good that is ultimately about refining your identity and reclaiming your power.

The complete horror graphic novel in one volume, faithfully reproducing the original Japanese release, featuring a title page in silver ink, 8 pages in full color, and eerie metallic copper tones and spot color on the cover. What links together two bands of worshippers, one deep in the Arctic snows, one hidden in the bayous of Louisiana, is more than their shared practice of blood sacrifice. It is the inhuman phrase they both chant: Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn--"In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming." Now these nightmares will disturb the sanity of Francis Thurston, a young man pursuing an investigation into the cult of Cthulhu that leads to the most forsaken spot in the vast Pacific...and to Earth's supreme terror, the risen corpse-city of R'lyeh.

Lovecraft's stories, and was the namesake of the acclaimed role-playing game system set within the Cthulhu Mythos. "I love H.P. Lovecraft...It would be great to adapt him as a serialized manga, but I actually saw Gou Tanabe create a great adaption of H.P. Lovecraft's stories. Afterwards, I ended up not doing it because I thought I wouldn't be as good as Gou's version." --Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Black Paradox) One of American Library Association's 2025 Best Graphic Novels for Adults.

For ages 8+. The crisp September evening in Santa Fe is going to be special. It's the annual burning of Old Man Gloom or Zozobra. He stands across the large park where thousands of people gather - a fifty-foot sourpuss puppet whose gaping mouth and neon eyes make him appear dismal, which is his job. When Zozobra burns into smouldering ash, so, too, will people's gloomy thoughts disappear - or so everyone hopes. As with any spectacle worthy of the name, the lights, music, fireworks, and sense of frenzied expectation make the experience unforgettable - and this book vividly documents the evening. It takes us behind the scenes to the days and weeks before, where we see the construction of Zozobra. We get to go along to the practices of the Gloomies - those select few eight- and nine-year-old boys and girls who perform a dance as ghosts around Zozobra just before he burns. Most importantly we are given the best seat in the park to watch the burning of Zozobra. We see Zozobra move, hear his protest at his coming fate, watch in wonder, fear, and joy as first the Fire Dancers and then the Gloomies and the Queen of Gloom fulfil their appointed tasks in the ceremony. And suddenly shouts of ""Burn him! Burn him!! Burn him!!!"" catch us in their frenzy, and we, too, join the chant. This book is the perfect companion for anyone who has seen Zozobra burn or hopes to, and it is also a skilful way to introduce children to how we recognise and deal with worries and woes.

This comprehensive sound healing collection, based on thousands of transformative client sessions, delves deep into the practices at the heart of ThetaHealing. It equips you with powerful tools for self-healing, offering a pathway to profound change. ***** Transform Your Life, Repair DNA, and Manifest Miracles ***** The frequencies in this audiobook are designed to heal on every level—emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical—by addressing broken DNA and offering relief from anxiety, fatigue, and restrictive thought patterns. With regular listening, you can begin to release negative thinking and create miracles in your life. ***** Connect with the Energy of All That Is ThetaHealing is a form of applied quantum physics. By accessing the theta brain wave—a state previously believed to be achievable only in deep sleep or advanced meditation—you can connect with the universal energy that infuses all existence. This connection empowers you to identify and heal physical and emotional issues and transform limiting beliefs. For optimal results, listen to one recording daily for at least 15 minutes, especially during the first 21 days, using quality headphones. This is a guideline, not a rule—feel free to listen as often as you wish. You are always in control of the process, ensuring a safe and powerful journey toward clearing deep-rooted cellular blocks and finding inner peace. ***** The Healing Power of the Ancient Solfeggio Scale ***** Each of the 11 compositions in this collection features sacred instruments and sounds, including crystal bowls and ancient chants. Modern science is beginning to validate what ancient mystics have long known: everything in the universe is in a constant state of vibration, and every vibration produces sound, even if it is beyond human hearing. Every being, organ, and cell has its own optimal rate of vibration, known as resonance. When we are in resonance, we are in harmony with creation. Recognizing that emotions and mental states also have their own resonance, and that every cell absorbs and emits sound, we can understand how specific frequencies can serve as potent healing tools. -- sound medicine, healing frequencies, ancient sound healing, sound therapy, vibrational healing, energy healing sounds, spiritual healing music, meditation music, chakra healing, deep relaxation sounds, stress relief audio, holistic healing, inner peace music, mindfulness meditation, sound bath meditation, reiki healing music, solfeggio frequencies, crystal singing bowls, om mantra chanting, healing vibrations, mental clarity music, emotional healing sounds, calming meditation music, sleep healing sounds, spiritual awakening audio, frequency therapy, body mind healing, positive energy music, meditation soundscape, deep healing audio
