"This book is not only one of my favorite books on 'defense against the dark arts, ' but is actually one of my favorite books in my whole library. Throughout the book, Jason provides [information] not only on protection but also on recognizing the symptoms of attack and creating early warning systems to alert you of magickal attacks." --Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch

You Could Be the Target of a Spell or Curse and Not Even Know It

Everyone, whether they practice witchcraft or not, is susceptible to unwanted spells and curses. The difference is that witches and magicians can do something about it. Now you can too. Protection & Reversal Magick is a complete how-to guide to prevent, defend against, and reverse magickal attacks of any kind. Here, renowned scholar and magick practitioner Jason Miller shows readers how to master these techniques:

• Setting up early-warning systems
• Appeasing angry spirits through offerings
• Performing banishings and making amulets that will prevent most attacks
• Making magical "decoys" to absorb attacks against you
• Summoning guardian spirits or gods for help
• Binding, confusing, or expelling a persistent enemy who will not leave you be

These are techniques for witches, wiccans, ceremonial magicians, root doctors, and anyone else who puts magick to practical use. Like the cunning men and women of old, you can now defend yourself and your loved ones against even the strongest attacks.

This edition features a new introduction by the author and updates to the chapters.

New York Times bestselling author Jen Sincero gets to the core of transformation: habits--breaking, making, understanding, and sticking with them like you've never stuck before.

Badass Habits is a eureka-sparking, easy-to-digest look at how our habits make us who we are, from the measly moments that happen in private to the resolutions we loudly broadcast (and, erm, often don't keep) on social media. Habit busting and building goes way beyond becoming a dedicated flosser or never showing up late again--our habits reveal our unmet desires, the gaps in our boundaries, our level of self-awareness, and our unconscious beliefs and fears. Badass Habits features Jen's trademark hilarious voice and offers a much-needed fresh take on the conventional wisdom and science that shape the optimism (or pessimism?) around the age-old topic of habits. The book includes enlightening interviews with people who've successfully strengthened their discipline backbones, new perspective on how to train our brains to become our best selves, and offers a simple, 21 day, step-by-step guide for ditching habits that don't serve us and developing the habits we deem most important. Habits shouldn't be impossible to reset--and with healthy boundaries, knowledge of--and permission to go after--our desires, and an easy to implement plan of action, we can make any new goal a joyful habit.

For the first time, a Neuroscientist and Senior Lecturer at MIT reveals the surprising science that supports The Law of Attraction as an effective tool for self-discovery and offers a guide to discovering your authentic self to access your best life now.

Self-help books like The Secret show us that if we can tap into "The Law of Attraction," we have the power to change our destiny simply by reshaping our mind. Millions of people have used the ancient systems of manifestation and visualization to find health, success, love, friendship, wealth, and more. But does the "Law of Attraction" actually work? And more important, is this kind of life-changing philosophy within reach for everyone, even the most skeptical among us?

As Dr. Tara Swart, psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and Senior Lecturer at MIT shows us in The Source, if we can strip away our skepticism, these ancient tools of manifestation and visualization are fundamentally powerful and incredibly effective at freeing us of self-limiting behaviors and propelling us toward our truest, most authentic selves. Swart reveals how and why these systems actually work by offering the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience and behavioral psychology, including lessons in neuroplasticity, magneticism, emotional and logical thinking, and even hydration, self-care, and relaxation. Next, she describes her own journey from skeptic to believer, and guides readers through the scientific breakthroughs and personal revelations that changed her from an unhappy, close-minded, and disconnected woman wanting more from life, to a successful entrepreneur living with confidence, purpose, and joy.

The truth is, most of the things we want--health, happiness, wealth, love--are governed by our ability to think, feel, and act--in other words, by our brain. Dr. Swart combines the insights and inspiration of The Secret with the practical lessons of The Master Key System to help a new generation fulfill their dreams. The Source is a rigorous, proven toolkit for unlocking our minds--and reaching our fullest potential.

Otters are some of the most delightful animals on the planet.

These long, lean, furry creatures embody pure joy in so many ways - they live for napping, playing, making friends and eating, and forget about the rest. Pretty inspiring, right?

In a world that can often seem divided, lonely, and just plain cruel, the otter reminds us of what's important in life.

What other animal:
- Holds hands with their friends whilst napping so they don't float away?
- Communicates in a flurry of whistles, chirps, chuckles, clicks and coos?
- Builds a waterslide on a daily basis?
- Befriends other species, just because?
- Eats food off their tummy while floating peacefully with their pals?

These intelligent, adorable, water-dwelling mammals have a lot to teach us about the way we live. So, kick back, grab a pal, dive in and reconnect with your playful side, just like you otter!

This book is a brief guide to understanding Islam. It consists

of three chapters.

The first chapter, "Some Evidence for the Truth of Islam,"

answers some important questions which some people ask:

Is the Qur'an truly the literal word of God, revealed by Him?

Is Muhammad SAWS truly a prophet sent by God?

Is Islam truly a religion from God?

When Thomas Merton's spiritual autobiography was first published in 1948, it was an unlikely candidate for a best-selling book. But less than one hundred years later, this account of his conversion to Catholicism has sold millions of copies and has been hailed as a modern-day version of Augustine's Confessions.

The Seven Storey Mountain is fundamentally about the triumph of God's grace in one man's life, a story of an imperfect individual whose search for meaning led him to a Trappist monastery. Honest and incisive, it is a personal testament to the life-changing reality of encountering the divine.

The Original 1925 Edition of Streams in the Desert, first authored using the name of Mrs. Chas. E. Cowman, is Lettie Cowman's resonating selections from a lifetime of reading and living the Christian life around the world.

Not modernized! Kept in its authentic form and power!

Through her daily selections, this daily devotional challenges and inspires readers today. Bestselling for decades, devoured by countless, it has helped people grow closer to God for almost 100 years.

Lettie said of the book, "I do not find material. Materials come to me, fly to me, from all over the world-in an unlikely tract, an old faded booklet, crumpled church bulletin, a tattered songbook."

This is a great gift for Mother's Day, graduates or yourself. All students of prayer should get this historic book. This 1925 edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.

Clarify your true hungers--and nourish your soul.

Fasting is not just the physical practice of giving up food. Fasting can also be a way to combat our culture of endless distractions and busyness. Fasting is an act of letting go, of making more internal space to listen to the sacred whispers of our lives. Join Christine Valters Paintner, online abbess of Abbey of the Arts, on a spiritual journey through seven different kinds of fasts, including fasting from control, from our attachments, from our grasping, and more. When we practice these fasts, we can discover unexpected spiritual gifts, as well as answers to deeper questions, leading us to ask: ""What is my true hunger?""

Perfect for Lent, or any period when a deeper intention to clarify your true hunger is needed, A Different Kind of Fast helps us enter our hearts, stripping away old patterns and habits. Featuring striking woodcuts from artist Kreg Yingst, the book draws on the wisdom of the desert elders, Paintner offers practical contemplative practices like lectio divina, breath prayer, visio divina, meditation with desert wisdom, contemplative walks, and creative rituals. As we fast from rushing, planning, being strong, holding it all together, seeking certainty, and control, we can softly reorient ourselves toward that which nourishes and fulfills us, for the reflective Lenten season and beyond.

Everything and everyone are vibrating! Penney Peirce, a leading pioneer in the field of intuition and transformation, helps you master the dynamics of energy, personal vibration, and our increasing hypersensitivity in this award-winning second book in the outstanding Transformation series--with an inspiring foreword from Reverend Michael Beckwith.

Because we see the world from a physical perspective, we often don't notice that our bodies, emotions, thoughts, and spirits are all made of energy. In fact, each of us has a personal vibration that accurately communicates who we are to the world and helps shape our reality. Frequency shows you how to feel your own personal vibration, improve it, and use it to shift your life from ordinary to extraordinary. A simple change in frequency can turn depression to peace, anger to stillness, and fear to enthusiasm.

Weaving together ideas from quantum physics with proven intuition development techniques, Frequency helps clear negative energy, develop conscious sensitivity, and center into your "home frequency" that facilitates clarity and compassion. Providing a reassuring, step-by-step roadmap into the positive state of awareness in what Peirce calls the Intuition Age, Frequency can help you to improve relationships, find upscale solutions to problems, and materialize a high-frequency life that contains everything you want and need to live your destiny.

In this, his third book, Barkley Thompson tackles seminal issues that many Christians have traditionally been afraid to question. An Episcopal priest and popular author and blogger, Thompson approaches these topics from the standpoint of a person of faith. Thompson says in the preface, "For those for whom questions of belief, salvation, and eternal life have seemed too difficult to explore; for those who have been abused by the answers of a punitive and otherworldly Christianity; and for those just now beginning to seek a deeper meaning to life, I pray this little book is a helpmate." Each chapter is followed by provocative reflection questions useful for either personal devotion or small group discussion.
