Mary Magdalene; The Way of the Heart with Margaret Starbird

Artist, yoga teacher, fully-outed witch, and author of "Woman Most Wild: Three Keys to Liberating the Witch Within" (now available from New World Library), Danielle Dulsky debunks old assumptions about witches being “bad” or “evil” and reveals the true nature of witchcraft: an ancient spiritual path that rejects religious dogma in favor of female empowerment and reverence for the Earth. Regardless of gender, we are invited to listen for and tune in to the wild woman spirituality drumming underneath our feet.

People have been asking questions about God since the dawn of humankind—and humanity's disagreements about the nature of God have often led to ethnic and religious warfare, the suppression of women, and the debasing of human dignity. Many religions have created rituals and dogmas that separate one from the other and cling to the belief that only they have the "one truth." But are any of them actually right? Can the true essence of God ever truly be understood or explained?

iGOD traces how the various belief systems about God have evolved into what exists in the present day, and then delves into the many questions about God that so many people have asked throughout history. Perhaps through this exploration we can finally begin to understand what God really is, what God wants, why we are here and how we can create a better world both for ourselves and future generations.

Your health may be written in the stars: we’ve all read our horoscopes for insights into our love lives, careers and friendships, but we often overlook our own physical well-being.

Marango, founder of i.m.body, brings her years of training as a holistic health physician and yoga teacher to the book, while Gordon’s expansive background in astrological consulting brings a unique and fresh approach to the zodiac.

Your Body and the Stars features a specific body part associated with every sign in the zodiac:

• Aries is associated with the head
• Gemini is associated with the arms, forearms and hands
• Libra is associated with the lower back
• Pisces is associated with the feet

Highlighting some of the maladies associated with that particular sign/body part, there are lessons, specific exercises, and simple meditations people can to as they use their sign as a personal guide for maintaining optimum health.

Your Body and the Stars provides infinite and often untapped wisdom that will guide you on your path to well-being if you open yourself up to the possibilities.

In her new book Ancient Spirit Rising Pegi Eyers examines the loss of our vital ethnocultural connection to tribe and place, and why there is a trend to borrow identities from other cultures. Join us for a provocative and informative discussion on white privilege, cultural appropriation, and how modern spirituality has become a giant consumer marketplace! Pegi’s research has uncovered improved strategies for intercultural competency with Turtle Island First Nations through social justice solidarity, anti-oppression work, allyship and reconciliation.  And as the paradigm shifts today to earth-connected sustainable community, in a fascinating twist Ancient Spirit Rising re-frames the Pagan and Goddess Spirituality movements as a response to the directive from Indigenous Elders to recover our own ancestral wisdom. From the wealth of resources available today, we can restore our ecocentric worldview and find an authentic self-identity from our own heritage in Old Europe, using the timeless values of indigenous mind as our model.  Come back to your roots!

Reclaim the Magic literally brings Magic back into reader’s mental outlook of life. Some call it a “Brain Builder” because it gives them a strong road map to a healthy and prosperous life. It helps the readers come fully into the present where their real point of power is in this life.  Lee teaches people about their daily life currency. That currency consists of five types of energy:  mental, physical, emotional, spiritual and financial. To truly heal your life you must understand how to use the five types of energy to connect with the Divine Spark that is within you, so your body, mind, spirit and income will heal and thrive.
 


Reclaim the Magic will evoke a consciousness shift and an awakening within you to manifest what you want out of your life. Lee will give you the tools and concepts to become fully conscious of the abilities you have within yourself, and to focus them in practical ways to advance your personal life and business. Milteer shows that it is possible to stretch our concepts of spirituality in business in order to do our work more responsibly and consciously.

We have been programmed by society, schools, government, and religions that we are a victim of circumstances. We have been trained to think, feel, and believe that we have no power, but nothing could be further from the truth. We can release the victim role and, instead, adopt one of proactivity. It is our choice to transform our reality.

The Union of Isis and Thoth, Magic and Initiatory Practices of Ancient Egypt, co-authored by Normandi Ellis and Nicki Scully, consolidates eighteen years of Egyptian Mystery School experiences into a manual for creating and consecrating sacred temple space in the physical and etheric worlds, and in your personal heart temple, the adytum. This book is a “how to”, a uniquely mystical experience, infused with knowledge that is magically transformed into life-changing wisdom through the shamanic journeys and initiations within. We will explain and demonstrate how initiatory experiences give direct access to knowledge and solutions from higher consciousness and other dimensions.

It’s fairly widely understood that life is about more than the experiences of the body and the mind, but it takes a special kind of commitment to also engage one’s soul in our day-to-day encounters. Those willing to make this remarkable choice can “raise the vibration” of every one of those encounters—even their momentary or seemingly insignificant exchanges with others—to a level that touches the heart of our very reason for being alive . . .
allowing us to come alive in ways that can utterly transform our entire journey upon the earth.
Knowing this is one thing. Knowing how to do it is another. There are no schools offering courses in Soul Connection and in teaching how to express ourselves from a state of being that arises far beyond the limits of the mind. There is now, however, a more clearly articulated path and process which has the potential to be some of the most enriching experiences of our life. Tara-jenelle Walsch tells us that it takes Soul Courage. And, we are assured, the rewards can be extraordinary, changing for the better all the rest of the days of our life.

In the cultural story in which we live, we are told that we are never enough. We think we must repeatedly alter or improve ourselves in order to be deserving of the happiness, acceptance, security, and meaning we desire. We are told we are not enough to make a difference in the mounting economic, political, social, and environmental crises of our times. But what if all of these messages are wrong? What if most of the suffering we experience—low self-esteem, self-doubt, depression, anxiety, addiction, fear, and stress—aren’t an indication of personal deficit, but are direct symptoms of a set of cultural norms that cause us to orient toward lack while systematically ignoring opportunities for abundance and well-being for ourselves and the planet?

Enough! offers a solution to our broken paradigm and our broken psyches and shows readers how to root out this never-enough story and develop a sense of “enoughness” that leads organically to solutions to problems from the personal to the local to the geopolitical.

From these words “I am enough. I have enough. We are enough. We have enough. Enough!,” author Laurie McCammon shows that a more positive and collectively abundant future is inevitable.
