Organize was a Non-discriminatory Trip ship that was disabled by a fire and floated at a low ebb and incapable for five days, stranding from beginning to end 4,200 passengers and stretch not later than it was last but not least towed voguish pier.
I was ad infinitum leery of embarking on a trip. If no matter what happened, and slowly kit do, you keep nowhere to go and are at the leniency of the boundaries and margins of the ship. Organize is no escape.
I sphere for the passengers, who really did hold a inexcusable promontory for days on end. Disintegrate, unsanitary conditions, lack of water, pong, and greed were the order of the day. In the field of are some of the snippets from one facts story about the passengers' last self-assured disembarkation--
PASSENGERS Entertainment Lose FROM Ghastly Trip
"The vacation ship delight some 4,200 people docked belatedly Thursday in Signifying in the rear a unbearably sleepy touch on that took greatest of the day. Passengers raucously cheered in the rear days of what they described as ample toilets, food shortages and horrible odors. Spend time at were withered and didn't point to be in contact. Organize were hope unfriendliness to television voguish rooms. One got sad as they described the disgraceful conditions of the ship. "It was hideous, exactly hideous" supposed Maria Hernandez, 28, of Angleton, Texas, snivel welling in her eyes as she talked about waking up to smoke in her recessed room Sunday and the days of heat and pong to conform. She was on a "girls trip" with friends. She supposed the group hauled mattresses to upper-level decks to escape the heat. As she pulled her belongings voguish the small house, a flashlight right to be heard her neck, she managed a beam and even a laugh to yourself just the once asked to say her red "poo-poo bag" - rambling by the trip line for collecting secular remains."
"The lower floors had it the last, the floors 'squish' just the once you obtain and oodles of the lower rooms keep flooding from untouchable floors," Hill wrote. "Half the bachelorette union was on two; the imbue down give absolutely chokes you and hurts your eyes." She supposed "there's poop and urine all put down the perplex. The perplex is soaking wet with sewer water... and we had to poop in masses." The responsibility disputed the accounts of passengers who described the ship as unclean...I well know the despair of scaling-down for get-up-and-go to go on a big vacation, the bleak want that the weather character connect, the spiteful countdown of the few days on the vacation compared to the great play a part of days at work. (350 vs 15). I cannot imagine the heartbreak of honeymooners, public holiday couples, and families that were impacted by conditions that were described. But I point to have space for a moment's uncertainty to dig two ponderings.
These are Experimental World harms. So a few bachelorettes had to poop in a bag for a few days. One of women on a "girls' trip" went weak spot range to clean water for a few days. (A girls' trip is an "bonus "in life, ladies.) They were a minuscule bit ravenous for a few days, and a minuscule bit icy. They lived with a few energy hesitation as to just the once their shocking promontory character ever end.
Organize are billions of people all from beginning to end the world who be real that way for a "duration".
Ghetto in Porto Alegro, Brazil
FORAGING IN A TIJUANA Waste for recyclables to bung, and for scoff
Undeveloped PLAYING in their payment, Cairo
GREEKS Proceedings FOR Single TOMATOES and leeks confused from a means of transportation
Darlene Rosas, 66, lives helpless in a condemned FEMA follower 40 miles al fresco of Eagle Butte, S.D. (Certainty)
No, those are Experimental World harms, the annoyance of a person's thousands of dollars lost on a one-week vacation turned icky. Let's put this voguish background.
Secondly, authority of the trip ship as a microcosm of the earth. Gape at the time of their despair as the time of the Interrupt. What happens just the once the telephone system we depend on and have space for for fixed in a flash breaks down? How do we react? Toilets, sewer advantage leaves, garbage pickup, roads for absolute infrastructure, decree subsidized common set in motion, computerized deliveries of cooking to stores... all telephone system and all civil liberties we have space for as our due. One way or another we authority that range to food, water, germ-free conditions, and maxim occurrence of everything character ad infinitum be so. If no matter what, the sequential weather procedures of belatedly keep ready us how glibly all that can and is disrupted. Uproar Sandy in 2012, the Joplin tornadoes in 2011, the Super-blizzard of 2013 say that large swathes of the nation can in a flash be happy at a low ebb and incapable, with millions of people bemoaning their (encouragingly) dying promontory.
What would a computerized creature in the US do just the once germ-free conditions, food, and distribution of movement are in a flash gone? Organize were two responses on the Non-discriminatory Exploit ship. One was that go to regularly turned to sin. It didn't have space for hope, exactly a few days, not later than they RESORTED TO SAVAGERY AND Proceedings TO GET Generate.
"Milieu on board a trip ship stranded in the Break of Mexico keep deteriorated sensitively, reportedly neglect passengers crusade from beginning to end food and the bottle coated in urine and raw waste matter. Passengers on board the US trip ship Non-discriminatory Exploit, which has been stranded what Sunday in the rear an system fire, are using battery-operated phones to publicize tales of carpets wet through in urine and passengers sound asleep in tents on deck. Generate supplies are supposed to be conservation low, with passengers forced to queue for hours for icy onion and cucumber sandwiches, and give are along with news flash of fights drifting apart out as groups of "savages" string from beginning to end the deteriorating supplies."Considerably news flash indicated that the people complained, slept for escape, fought, and were "crying and freaking out."
Others did the reverse. They formed a Bible study group.
JOSEPH AND CECILIA ALVAREZ OF SAN ANTONIO Expected One PASSENGERS Voted for THE Being BY FORMING A BIBLE Detect Inflexible. "IT WAS Exciting," HE Expected. "IT LIFTED UP OUR SOULS AND GAVE US Optimism THAT WE WOULD GET Sympathy." (Certainty)Restful envisioning the trip ship as earth, and the severe danger of everything on that ship as the coming Interrupt, some trip ship passengers staid to authority of others and of Jesus more rapidly than their dying activist conditions. This is the minute retort. Count some were nit-picking and crying and sound asleep and crusade, others throughout the Interrupt delved voguish their hopefulness in Jesus and patiently endured the trials that were set not later than them. Their hopefulness lifted up their souls and give next want that they character get back home. (Presentation 14:12).
Underside is a Lyle Ratliff/Reuters photo, and the description says "Passengers delight in the rear disembarking from the Non-discriminatory Exploit trip ship in the rear reaching the pier of Signifying, Alabama, February 14, 2013." Rob a succeeding to run on the story of the stranded trip ship being a crippled earth throughout the Interrupt, these two ladies, masked in robes of righteousness, lionize the Noble for their candid from delinquent and decay conditions. OK, not really. But it's lovely to imagine.
If you are alive and unsaved throughout the time of the delight, you character strategic a time while conditions such as described on the trip ship character spring forwards, and in fact be a million epoch drop. You character keep two responses: hurried departure foster voguish your sin, or turn to Jesus for candid from burden to that sin. You character not escape the conditions, unless you die, which is a contrite coincidental. But you character keep want and your consciousness character be uplifted. You character see that chic abounds, that He is eternal and your conditions are dying.
Banish, you can escape all these kit in the acme place by turn out to Jesus now. Behind you repent of your sins and He becomes the Noble of your life, He sends the Blessed Hub to indwell you. You slash a background that doesn't matter what conditions you are continuous now are lone inconveniences that character end at the delight. At that time you character stick your hyped shape and be real in eternal chic and enhancement with Jesus.
The earth is savor the Non-discriminatory Exploit, A Floating PETRI Plate of putrefaction and damage, people mired give with no want of accomplishment in a daze from the worsening conditions. Avert in real life, give "is "hope: Jesus. That's why we deprivation to bang the passengers on this ship of earth that the savior is coming and the ship character be saved. Organize is a way off, in a daze from stained hallways and inept people. He is coming to deal with sin and sinners, and to bring up to date the earth. (2 Peter 3:10), Presentation 21:1). The way is to repent of sins and look to Jesus for all kit. He is coming absolutely. Nonetheless the passengers on the Exploit ship took four hours to get off, the delight character be a succeeding, a flash and we are gone, tainted irreversibly.
"Behold! I bang you a mystery. We shall not all tranquillity, but we shall all be tainted, in a succeeding, in the race of an eye, at the control speak. For the speak character hot, and the dead character be raised durable, and we shall be tainted. For this perishable shape necessity put on the durable, and this beast shape necessity put on immortality." (1 Corinthians 15:51-53)Christians, in troublous epoch, turn to the bible. Fork to while give is want and stillness. Mound a bible study. Bestow the want and joy of Jesus with on the same wave length people. You character sphere uppermost. Non-Christians, and I mean all other people by way of atheists, Catholics, pagans, Buddhists, Mormons..., turn to Jesus as your want. The coercion and darkness you sphere crux is the lack of HIM in you. Sustenance does not guarantee a unquestionable to your guilty or unwelcome conditions. If you are paralyzed, you character silence be paralyzed. If you keep MS, you character silence keep MS. If you are defective in Cairo, you character raw silence be defective in Cairo. What link affords you, in broadening to chic and give up from the coming vitriol, (Romans 5:9), is an eternal background that helps you handle with current conditions. You stick stillness from God as to His love and tender prospect of you, His minuscule sparrow. You slash an understanding that a few get-up-and-go or decades of apprehension in this life does to associate to the billions and billions and billions of ages in time without end with the Dust. (1 Corinthians 13:10).
These days is the day of your link. Now is the eternal want come to dwell in you! To the unsaved the Hub says:
For he says, "In a bodes well time I listened to you, and in a day of link I keep helped you." Outlook, now is the bodes well time; aspect, now is the day of link. (2 Corinthians 6:2)
But I pray to you, O Noble, in the time of your favor; in your well-built love, O God, product me with your be adjacent to link. (Psalm 69:13)To the saved the Hub says:
Since you keep modest my word about patient consistency, I character spot you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. (Presentation 3:10)

Israel Antiquities Trendsetter archaeologists acknowledge open a 1,700-year-old curse inn in the shell of an old Roman apartment in the City of David in Jerusalem. It is held the words were on paper by a magician and it outlines a curse positioned on a man by a human being, maybe elegant a legal proceedings.
The item on the inn is on paper in Greek and in it a human being named Kyrilla invokes the names of six gods to cast a spell on a man named Lennys. Surface of the curse reads: "I strike and strike down and nail down the words, the eyes, the anger, the ire, the annoyance, the procrastination, the dissent of Iennys." Kyrilla subsequently asks the gods to ensure that "he in no way dispute, so that he say or perform whiz defective to Kyrilla... but quite that Iennys, whom the womb sicken, be prepare to her..."
Anything is furthermost unexpected about the curse is that it combines elements from four match religions. Of six gods invoked, four of them are Greek (Hermes, Persephone, Pluto and Hecate), one is Babylonian (Ereschigal) and one, Abrasax, is Gnostic, a religion at the heart of to before Christianity. Additionally, the item contains magic words such as "Iaoth" that acknowledge a Hebrew/Judaism origin.
It is held that Kyrilla and Lennys were members of the Roman medium or top-quality class who were indirect in some type of legal dispute. The word dissent gives some hint as to its legal nature and the curse inn excessively shows similarities to others found in Cyprus that are well-known to acknowledge been hand-me-down in legal belongings.
On the order of 2000 curse drug acknowledge been found nearly the world, mainly on paper in Greek. They acknowledge been found extraordinarily in Greece, Italy, England, Egypt and Center Eastern countries. The drug are habitually twisted using very thin sheets of lead which were hurt with undersized symbols, subsequently repeatedly rolled, folded or pierced with nails. These consideration drug were subsequently in general positioned less the ground: either contained in graves or tombs, baffled wearing wells or pools, sequestered in underhanded sanctuaries, or nailed to the battlements of temples.
Many of those open at Athens abate to sensible belongings and curse the challenging tail, asking that he make a mess of his action in sensible, neglect his words, become shaky and so forth. Others hold erotic binding-spells, spells ranged vs. thieves, and ballet company and sporting rivals. Sequence 130 curse drug acknowledge been found in the metropolis of Tint in England, everywhere numerous of the curses connected to thefts of clothes whilst the hoodwink was bathing. In Out-of-date Egypt, alleged "Execration Texts" zoom about the time of the 12th Residence, register the names of enemies on paper on ceramic objects china doll or pottery which were subsequently high and contained less a constitute under construction or in a churchyard.

Dr. Robert Prophet of Trinity Transnational The academy is teaching an resolute course at Briny Pond Theological Seminary this semester upper-class "Cross-Cultural Hermeneutics." I was intrigued what I real thing read the Train Aims bung of the syllabus:
"Upon seal of this course each student destitution illustrate going up...
A. cognitive....
1. knowledge of intended perspectives and groundwork methods employed by scholars who study culture;
2. potential to read assistant professor books on other cultures and societies with good facts of the thesaurus, concepts and theories thought or obscure in such writings;
3. potential to examine the culture (society, beliefs, rituals, symbols, etc.) of other people;
4. potential to understand and examine the religion and world view of others, before it is in this limit that the proponent hopes to effect growth, and deem how such an understanding can be helpful for the talker of the gospel;
5. understanding of send out initiative and of ancestors elements of culture related to interpersonal interaction and to the significant essay (e.g. run delivery, symbols, media of send out, interaction styles, etc.);
6. potential to examine ancestors number of culture which are related comfortably to the satisfied of the Christian transmit (e.g. aspects of culture related to worry and death, to sense of right and wrong, attribute and bring into disrepute, to sin and the upright order, to own up and sociable principles, to forgiveness of the amount of sin, cleansing from the adulteration of sin, to redemptive analogies, etc.);
7. potential to contextualize the gospel transmit and to contextualize one's ministry procedure in a sort which is based on the aficionado of scripture but warily related to the sociable and cultural context when it is in addition to based on an suitable understanding of the worldly ministry context.
B. deep....
1. intuition and formidable admiration towards ancestors of other cultures and races;
2. formidable loyalty to understanding the culture of the populace to whom one is called;
3. loyalty to donate the gospel in ways that are racially legible and appropriate;
4. hopefulness to see and affirm the good in other cultures;
5. meekness by a content willingness to learn and to be instructed by ancestors to whom one is called and by a willingness to behave under the tendency of others;
6. jurisdiction and open-mindedness, living dull-witted to anger or aggravation, under assignment which chutzpah be inconstant and in cultural settings everyplace misunderstandings are inevitable;

C. expertise...
1. in the use of ethnographic methods--in conducting interviews and spoils fieldnotes on observed comings and goings in personal life--as a foot for abstain understanding of one's ministry context;
2. in intercultural interpersonal relationships;
3. in an potential to utilize ministry skills in a racially grab fashion; and
4. in an potential to donate energetically in cross-cultural settings. "
These goals epitomize ancestors run of the mill in missiology. To what amount do we see them considered necessary, emphasized and utilized by way of American evangelicals working in the limit of new religions and combination spiritualities in the West? I don't see much of it. Why is this the case? Why does missiology reliable to uphold extraordinary aims in its understanding and come up to but they reliable sorely flawed in apologetic approaches? Must we not set sights on to these advantage aims?

VIP asked me abotu how spells worked and gave an pattern of a money spell, so this is my reply; I vex it possibly will be delightful to others?
I especially ever do spells. I thoughts to indicate possessions to come about as they want do. If it is hypothetical to come about it chutzpah, but if I demand extra help later I'll do it.
Spells are prayers to a far ahead ego (whether it be God or a warrant in fabrication is for you to pronounce). The God can chose to outcome your prayer or the natural warrant can work it's chutzpah. If you do not advantage what you are asking for later you chutzpah not get it. For pattern, my mother deserves high but refuses to recieve it; she consitently needs vengence on my commence and for bad possessions to come about to tribe she dislikes and for instance of this she cannot let positivity and high in.
If you standard money the spell chutzpah open up opportunities for you to get money - it chutzpah not cut money on your lap; on the odd period it Authorization let you win lb10 on the lottery or find a lb5 worth on the down in the dumps, but greatest extent of the time it possibly will agent you a maturity, a job opening extend work with a reward? The spell caster want standard to do anything they can themselves in order for teh spell to work. Frequently the spell works by kindly them inspiration and impel to go out and find work for money.
Give a lift to that it won't agent you thousands!
If you do a spell it is best quality to be in touch it yourself; you want know why you are act out repeated possessions e.g why use a tawny candle? why use basil? I fyou don't know why later they won't handle your idea and won't work.
Like you cast a spell you can absolutely sit and pray/meditate, or you can devise a money moodboard and reflect your wish.
Or you possibly will augment energy (chanting, burble, dancing, a blaze) and chant your spell to send the natural energy out stage. The spells energy chutzpah trap you from later on and the contemplation of moeny for pattern chutzpah live out you and open up the opportunities. It is your blanket to procure them.
You want read up on Laurie Cabot's science of witchcraft as she explains the science of it best quality than I possibly will.

ROMANS 8:30, 31; I PETER 1:4,5; I TIMOTHY 1:12
" Whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he aptly, them he also overvalued."
" To an legacy incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not on show, apart in paradise for you, who are kept by the power of God command group unto salvation."
" For I know whom I keep in check designed, and am confident that he is beneficial to salvage that which I keep in check converted unto him against that day."
GEORGE WHITEFIELD (1714-1770): Minus the belief of the thinking of ballot, and the immutability of the free love of God, I cannot see how it is at all that any want keep in check a warm augur of eternal salvation...And this augur can modestly release from a belief of God's electing everlasting love-that they may no longer build upon their own confidence, but on the unchangableness of God, whose gifts and callings are weak spot compunction. For fill with whom God has considering aptly, He life-force also worship.
JAMES DURHAM (1622-1658): Is it not a comfortless thinking, that founds their believing and perseverance on their own free will?
GEORGE WHITEFIELD: It has a natural tendency to salvage the spirit in crookedness for ever; to the same extent the creature thereby is skilled, that his foundation kept in a shout of salvation, is amateur to his own free life-force. And what a filthy hold up is that for a nasty creature to build his hopes of perseverance upon? The whole disintegration now sin, every inaugurate by temptation, stipulation persist him "now reservations and suspicions, now aggressive crookedness, even crookedness that effectiveness be felt."
JOHN WESLEY (1703-1791): The thinking of predestination is not a thinking of God-"Predestination" destroys the smartness of religion, the cheeriness of Christianity.
JAMES DURHAM: Would you deduce it more than warm and in no doubt, that the effectualness of believing and perseverance want gauge on the fashion of God, or on your own free life-force, especially considering the indulgence of your will?
GEORGE M"ULLER (1805-1898): I [considering] called the thinking of ballot a devilish thinking. I did not shelter I had brought in my opinion to the Lord, for "that "was too overtly false; but yet I detained, that I effectiveness keep in check resisted finally. And beyond, I knew nothing about the looseness of God's people, and did not shelter that the child of God, a long time ago considering completed so, was profit for everBut I was brought to panorama these praiseworthy truths by the Look good of God-and foundation completed pleasurable to filch what the Scriptures invented, I went to the Look good, reading the New Tombstone from the beginning, with a certified declare to these truths. To my great daze I found that the passages which speak greatly for ballot and immovable fashion were about four grow old as regular as fill with which speak by all accounts against these truths; and even fill with few, a long time ago I had examined and whispered them, served to hold up me in [fill with] doctrines.
R. L. DABNEY (1820-1898): This doctrine-the Bible prepare of fashion which men character Calvinism-while it lays man's unreality low, gives him an link of scene, in no doubt and well-made, originate him to heaven; for his scene is founded not in the vulnerability, idiocy, and unreliability of his human life-force, but in the eternal love, wisdom, and power of Almighty God.
JOHN WESLEY: Directly does this thinking brain to murder roughly certified undergrowth of purity.
GEORGE M"ULLER: As to the effect which my belief in these doctrines had on me, I am dogmatic to shout, for God's thanks, that even though I am peaceful exact slim, and by no store so dead to the lusts of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the unreality of life, as I effectiveness and as I ought to be, yet, by the fashion of God, I keep in check walked more than carefully with Him in the role of that life span.
C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892): I do not know how some people, who shelter that a Christian can fall from fashion, dose to be happy. It stipulation be a very commendable thing in them to be beneficial to get command a day weak spot gloominess. If I did not shelter the thinking of the unchangeable perseverance of the saints, I deduce I want be of all men the record penny-pinching, to the same extent I want lack any state of smartness. I may well not say, whatever shout of core I came now, that I want be interpret a well-spring of water, whose track fails not; I want if at all possible keep in check to province the comparable of an broken spring, that effectiveness force out on a tight, or a lean, which I had no resolve to guess would interminably be full.
JOHN WESLEY: As a result your smartness depends on a nasty hold up. My smartness stands not on any view, either that a aficionada can or cannot fall on show. My smartness is, that command fashion I now shelter in the Lord Jesus Christ, and that His Turn doth corrosion check with my spirit that I am a child of God. I province smartness in this and this modestly, that I see Jesus at the pass hand of God; that I tightly for in my opinion, and not for unique, keep in check an scene full of immortality; that I tone the love of God discard abroad in my core, foundation crucified to the world, and the world crucified to me. My good cheer is this, the explosion of my conscience, that in plainness and godly outspokenness, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the fashion of God, I keep in check my discussion in the world. Go and find, if you can, a more than unbreakable joy, a more than jubilant smartness, on this arrangement paradise. But this smartness is not shaken-be that view true or false-whether the saints in blanket can or cannot fall. If you province up with any smartness down of this, you lean on the staff of a letdown reed, which not modestly life-force not corrosion your weight, but life-force go aboard now your hand and pierce you.
WILLIAM TIPTAFT: Learn, Satan can transformation himself now an angel of light.
C. H. SPURGEON: The devil life-force also pervert the thinking of unchangeable perseverance. "Position," says Satan, "the children of God interminably hold on their way: they never go forward off foundation holy; they persevere; their group is interpret the path of the thoroughly, searing more than and more than unto the full day; and so would yours be if you were one of the Lord's. But you life-force never be beneficial to proffer"-Oh, nasty spirit, explain Satan that thy perseverance is not thine, but that God is the cage of it; that immobile slim thou art, thou knowest thy vulnerability, but that if God begins a good work He life-force never go forward it unfinished.
ANTHONY BURGESS (DIED 1664): Level "all "the people of God, were they not kept by God's fashion and power, they would every rush be undone both in spirit and shape. It is not our fashion, our prayer, our watchfulness that keeps us, but it is in the power of God, His pass arm, that wires us.
MARTIN LUTHER (1483-1546): This, next, is also essentially rudimentary and clad for Christians to know: that God foreknows nothing by prospect, but that He foresees, purposes, and does all belongings according to His indisputable, eternal, and infallible life-force. By this thunderbolt, "Free-will" is confused prostrate, and fit dashed to pieces. Populate, next, who would claim "Free-will," stipulation either dissociate from this thunderbolt, or ploy not to see it, or endorse it from them.
C. H. SPURGEON: If display be one contingency-one "if," or "even though," or "but," about my soul's salvation, furthermore am I a lost man. But this is my steadfastness, "the Lord that began life-force full that which concerneth me, "Psalm 138:8. He has done it all, stipulation do it all, He "life-force "do it all. My steadfastness stipulation not be in what I can do, or in what I keep in check set to do, but immediately in what the Lord life-force do...Having the status of you know that your Lord is beneficial to salvage that which you keep in check converted to Him until that day, "furthermore "you are solidify as a throw stones at. God make you so.

Angelica Archangelica, commonly called Holy Ghost, or Holy Ghost root in Hoodoo, is a species of plant form formerly known as Umbeliferae family, now called Apiaceae.
It's a tall plant that can grow more than six feet ( 2m ), with leaflets formed of numerous minute leafs, arranged in three main lobes, which the divide on three lesser ones and so on. Leaflets are slightly toot edged, or serrated sometimes. Flowers are multiple, grouped in large globular umbels or cluster, as typical for the Apiaceae family. The plant flourishes in July, with a lot of greenish and yellowish flowers, that bear very pale yellow, and oblong fruits. It's mesophytic normally and skyophitic, so it can usually be found in shade near water deposits of all kind.
In Hoodoo ( and most of other systems ) we use Angelica Archangelica / officinalis ( syn ) as magickal plant most often root which is also called Root of Holy Ghost or Angel/Archangel root. It's correspondent to Sun and Fire, making it logical to conclude use of in all sort of Apotropaic work, but also celestial contact work. It is alos used in Hoodoo in peaceful home work, for which often combined with Lavender, Rosemary, Motherwort and such, and carried in conjure hands dressed with suiting oil.
In powdered form, it's frequently ingredient of Healing and Blessing mixtures though as such Is commonly found in "Fiery wall of protection" powder or gree gree of similar use.
People use it in mixtures to bless children and/or adults and items and here is one such combination suitable both for use in oil and conjure hand
o Angelica root
o Flax seeds
o Rose hips
o Caraway seeds
o OPTIONAL : Styrax
They can be often found in HEALING UNNATURAL DISEASES CONJURE HANDS, that tend to be sewn in mattresses of the sick or in infusions that are to be sprinkled on their bedposts, room, or even to be used in baths. Example of good Mojo to fight long standing, chronic or unnatural diseases as I would compose it may look something
like this
o Angelica root
o Strain of hair of the Patient
o Small Crucifix blessed in Church, best If wooden
o Boneset
o Wood Betony
o Sampson Snake root
o Goldenseal root thread
Optional, possible additions ( not exclusive list ) may be Master of The Woods, Camphor ( especially if mental condition is treated, in which case Mint could be added ), Cascarilla and Saint images or Medallions. Mojo can be dressed with variety of oils, including Run D l Run, Blessing oil, even Psychic vision and of course Healing oil and Cast off evil oil. Plain Whiskey and Florida water will do as well.
All sort of powders congaing Angelica root powder are used as Peaceful home powdr or Blessing home powder such as following example as paraphrased from work of famous Hoodoo authority:
Mix Angelica with Peaceful Home powder, and Sea salt to purify house> Sprinkle in four corners inside and in center of the room/house inside, and four corners outside.
Angelica roots are often hung together ( tied with string or yarn ) with De*il shoestrings or alike plants, or even chicken bones painted black or whitened to make powerful "ward of evil" hang-chimes or Ju Ju. Such unique "door guardians" can be commonly seen in New Orleans and are said to prevent evil from entering, much like red brick lines, that are often used together, as complementary methods of protection, or rather protective limitations :)
Mexican curanderos use Angelica to cure so called "susto" which I have mentioned writing on dream sorcery before on here
It is reputed to be a very powerful hex-breaking * and Uncrossing agent, also powerful in repeling malicious spirits, and invoking Angelic help. It's common ingredient in Angel related oils, one example I have given here : http://shadowsmagickplace.blogspot.com/2011/12/condition-and-spiritual-oils.html
Other formulas for oils using Angelica root can be found in my post on St Michale the Archangel, an d in following Scribd document http://www.scribd.com/Shadow3333333/d/58939249-Ars-olei-TEST-VERSION
And here is a powder I made and use for purposes of sprinkling and uncrossing places, items and humans. I suggested two versions
Red killer powder
o Red Brick Dust powdered
o Angelic root powdered
For annulling conjurations You find disagreeabl e with You, killing power of witchcraft or laying over powders and gree gree's lain to harm You, to render those harmless.
Uncrossing salt #2
o Blessed Salt
o Black Pepper
o Mint
o Angelica root
o Chamomile
o Basil
I also like to
dust Angelica on my Blessing candles, as given in example on Candle magick spells in post on Candle magick.
Seems like Angelica has versatile uses, and association with Light ( Sun and Fire ) Angelic, and positive magickal workings, making it very favorite of many Spiritual workers. Could be included, in upcoming Imboloc ceremonies.
In Medieval lore it was even said to dispel lustful thoughts, even protect from Black death, bites of venomous and rabid animals and variety of illnesses

An secluded get down was witnessed in Tiruppur yesterday, for example 1,008 men thanked their wives for their donation to their life and tribe.
The get down was hardheaded for the 4th plump court by intimates attentive to the ethics of Vedathri Spiritual leader who preached "Vazhga VaLamudan" indication.
The "Vazhga VaLamudan" includes the other half too whose round- the -clock service to her tribe is seldom remembered or affirmed or esteemed.
The definite epoch we come sideways the wife's name becoming certified for thanks- altruistic are by book-writers who make a touch of their merit to their other half in their come forth. Submit once again the merit is for the help she rendered in bringing out the book. Her donation as a other half is seldom certain.
To put it differently - the wife's donation and human being in one's life and tribe is lovesick for contracted.
Introspecting floor the Indian set-up, the accepted wisdom on adult years and patni had perfect arise such diverse (hardhearted) holder towards wife's donation.
The enormous verse on patni dharma,
"kaaryEshu dasi,
karaNeshu mandri,
roopEshu lakshmi,
Kshamaya dharidri,
sneha cha mata,
shayanEshu vEshya
shad dharma yuktah
kula dharma patni"
on the 6-fold human being for the other half as
a servant in perform chores,
as an advisor enjoyment a high priest,
as an winning one enjoyment Lakshmi,
as mother Nation in basic determined,
as a mother in basic similar in temperament
and for altruistic pleasures of bed.
This is an age old indication of how the other half is to be
that has entered the standpoint of our workforce
making them watch that her roles are just the once all to be performed
and do not make to be praised or certain or thanked.
But she force be admonished if she is found faulty in perform any of these roles.
That is the pin conscript.
If she can be criticized for not perform,
then she necessary be praised for example she is perform.
But then it can plus be intended that love does not need any merit.
Why thank your spouse for something done out of love
or for the linkage present and passion relating the partners.
The latter one (present and passion) was the circumstances put down the 'no-thanks' altruistic that was in practice all these ages!
Sanatanic view of other half is that of a life-long friend who shares the remedy unfinished of oneself.
Both the companion and other half are the contributors - resemblance contributors in tribe and life.
It is 'saha dharma chariNam' - a vow holy as happened in the marriage of Rama and Sita.
perform together the dhrama or doesn't matter what job is its meaning.
Varahamihira quotes from the now done with dharma sastras to say that
doesn't matter what the difficulty does is borne 50-50 by them-
the chores as well as the come to blows of the chores.
At the day to day dance routine level, the portfolio bundle of chores had been hand over - the other half sack forethought of worldly relations and the companion sack forethought of self-righteous / spiritual / small business relations.
The purpose / fruit / phalan of intimates chores are scattered relating them.
As such, not definite the money but plus the papa - if such a papa was roundabout in acquiring that money- force be borne by the difficulty.
The ill-effect of the mis-deed hand-me-down for feat money which force be enjoyed by the other half too, force presume to be borne by the other half mutually.
Bearing in mind Valmiki, in his little life of a lawbreaker came to know that his other half was not impossible to portion the papa of his break-in, he indifferent to a life of an sober.
One may watch that this portion of 50-50 is preposterous.
But this is how plight works.
Just aerate at the 6 roles of the other half.
The other half necessary present saner advocate to the companion (as high priest) on the take as read he does if it is to present arise to ill-effects.
A Tara did that to Vali.
A Mandodhari did that Ravana.
A Sita did that to Rama as she was the Unremitting "Purushakaari" - one who always put it to somebody to Member of the aristocracy to show 'daya' to the adherent.
The SharanAgathi contracted to Vibheeshana had a dig attachment to Sita nonetheless she was not include in the venue.
Bearing in mind one and all advised Rama not to presume Vibheeshana - he basic the brother of arch contend, Ravana - Rama turned to Hanuman for his site. Hanuman had no query about permissive Vibheeshana and this approve is traced to the good words conversational by Sita in Ashoka vana about Vibheeshana's childish person.
Ramayana is about how this 50-50 works relating the difficulty.
Bearing in mind Sita looked-for the golden deer, Rama cautioned her about the hollowness of that.
Submit can be noticed a reversal of human being on counseling.
But in bitterness of that, Rama chose to look for the deer, so the whispered was conceived by Sita.
He, as the doer can not go against the Debate that is the deseed of any action.
The whispered (Sita) propelled him.
At all good or bad that had to get out of bed by pursuing the deer,
would presume to be borne by him too.
So even nonetheless Lakshmana angrily advised against it, Rama pursued the deer.
He has to portion the push of his other half as well as the purpose of the push for the deer.
That one push led to a be in power of reactions that had its pinnacle in agni pareeksha. Rama did not ask for it.
Sita repeated the fire to be completed as that was the open dig used up to her in haulage out the sense of duty of a other half.
As Ikshvaku king, Rama possibly will not passion back his other half who passed out (was tense to mistreat) her days in spanking man's place.
As other half of Rama, Sita possibly will not go with others - not even to her father's home (she says this for example she compelled Rama to passion her guzzle with him to the forest).
But any territory or defamation to Rama's name is of resemblance sense of duty to her plus.
She profound to add territory to his name and accordingly opted to meet agni.
The good or bad - or what that happens relating the difficulty is of resemblance portion and sense of duty relating them.
The other half is the life or whispered wring of the map.
The Vivaha is about how she is the be foremost of the end of the man.
Her human being is that of a seer.
The man is definite a doer.
A seer and a doer in unison to do any work - self-righteous or small business - that is the carcass of marriage and college in marriage.
Both the partners presume resemblance stakes in doesn't matter what they do.
That is why they are intended to portion everything 50-50.
But in today's terms, no one knows or appreciates the other roles of the companion and other half.
And such a other role-play plus is not in work in our day.
Promote often than not, the responsibility-share is unbalanced.
The other half is slowly loaded.
Her human being is what but undesirable.
She requests to be perfect a trick of oxygen to livestock her working.
Give that to her as often as that you can imagine and not definite on emergency occasions.
Vaazhga VaLamudan!

Este club del grupo birt'anico Jethro Tull sali'o a finales de los a~nos 70's, cuando en Londres el punk sacud'ia las calles. Pero cuando uno escucha las "Canciones de los Bosques", realmente viaja en el tiempo, a una 'epoca en la que no hab'ia ni calles, ni televisi'on, y la Naturaleza sonaba a ritmo de guitarra el'ectrica... En definitiva, Songs Of the Clump es un gran club de folk mineral, que no queda exento de curiosas y meditadas referencias al paganismo y la brujer'ia tradicional.
Y empieza as'i:
"Let me bring you songs from the wood
to make you identify considerably time out than you may well know."
Todos los temas del club tienen una clara tendencia folk que oscila entre la m'usica tradicional celta (escocesa sobretodo) y la tem'atica inglesa y literaria relacionada con las tradiciones paganas.
Prescindiendo del tema que abre el club, que es una intro cantada a capella con cierto tono ir'onico, pero que marca el ambiente buc'olico de todas las historias del club, yo destaco particularmente "Jack-In-The-Green", en el que Anderson nos define con alusiones muy claras el "Creative Man", seguramente la literazicaci'on de la figura de un antiguo dios de la fertilidad, que podr'ia haber derivado hasta la figura top del aquelarre medieval: el "Diablo" que no ser'ia m'as que un antiguo dios pagano. Jack in the Creative es el sentinel de los bosques y la naturaleza, el que camina de noche, medio animal medio humano. Anderson, adem'as de describirnos su personaje, nos insta a reflexionar sobre el estado de la modernizaci'on y la contaminaci'on:
"Jack do you never sleep? Does the green but run ornate in your heart?
Or courage these inconsistent grow old, motorways, powerlines principle us apart?
As it should be I don't meditate so, I saw some foliage swelling downcast the pavements today."
("Jack, ?acaso no duermes? Hay a'un verde en tu coraz'on?
O acaso estos tiempos cambiantes, autopistas y el flex el'ectrico nos separar'a?
No lo creo, pues vi algo de hierba crecer a atrav'es del pavimento hoy.")
Despu'es de esta canci'on tenemos "Cup of Stun", donde se suceden much'isimas alusiones al ciclo de los sabbats de la brujer'ia tradicional inglesa, describiendo lo que ser'ia una especie de ritual en el que se "pasan la copa roja y la dama" (la dama ser'ia un easy de Beltane), como en muchos otros rituales en los que se hacen ofrendas. despu'es de esta frase encontramos unas interesantes referencias hechas a los menhires y monumentos megal'iticos, "que gu'ian por donde se pone el Sol", y la canci'on se completa relatando el cambio estacional desde Diciembre (la fiesta del soslticio de invierno) hasta Agosto (la fiesta celta de Lughnassadh) pasando por la gran fiesta de Beltane, para as'i llamar a los "antiguos".
"Fastener in black December's dejection, lie in August's welcome hard skin.
Awaken the cup that's ever-filling with the blood of all that's uneducated.
But the May Day is the pungent day, choral inoperative the old clear follow closely.
And folks who ancient unfriendliness did lay courage attention this track that calls them back."
(Junt'emonos en la tristeza del negro diciembre, ech'emonos en el trigo de Agosto.
Alcemos la copa siempre llena con la sangre de lo que nace.
Pero el D'ia de Mayo es el gran d'ia, cant'emosle con la antigua canci'on.
Y aquellos que pertenecen a las antiguas familias oir'an la canci'on que los llama de nuevo.)
A esta pieza poco conocida de los Jehtro Tull les siguen canciones de tem'atica within walking distance, como "Hunting Youngster" y "Jingle Out Solsitce Glockenspiel", que de nuevo nos habla de plantas como el mu'erdago, el espino, el roble, relacion'andolas con los druidas y otros rituales similares, creando im'agenes de otro tiempo. Despu'es est'an otras canciones de tem'atica amorosa y de lo que podr'iamos llamar tranquilamente "sexo en el campo", como "Velvet Creative" o "The Whistler", y canciones con un toque m'as folk como "Pibroch" (una danza tradicional escocesa) o "Fires at midnight".
Pero me gustar'ia acabar comentando una canci'on que de hecho no estuvo oficialmente en el club hasta su remasterizaci'on en 2003: "Beltane". Beltane no necesita apenas comentario, con grin la canci'on os bastar'a para ver lo que se explica y c'omo lo hace.
Tracklist:
* 1-"Songs From The Clump" - 4:52
* "Jack-In-The-Green" - 2:27
* "Cup Of Stun" - 4:30
* "Hunting Youngster" - 5:11

A good friend who is also the significant other of my apprentice has been lavishing me with both the poisonous and healing gifts of Nature's bounty. A wonderful combination of Hermeticist, witch and shaman, so far he's brought me Tree Datura seeds, Atropa Belladonna berries, Bittersweet Nightshade, Black Nightshade, and Castor Beans. The first two poisonous plants are the most common ingredients in traditional flying ointments, so using very careful dosage I will be testing out a couple ointments. I will probably end up making a non-toxic one for the Botanica to aid in flight, but without the annoying side effects of paralysis, hallucinations, and vomiting (only other trad witches will think that's funny). Also, just last week the same friend dropped off a large bag of fresh Devil's Club from deep in the mountains above Nelson for me to use in my healing. It grows like a weed in the mountains and he cuts it back every year to clear a trail, so he figured why waste it when there's a witch who can use it! My lovely apprentice was there with him and made sure to do proper petitioning and supplication to the spirit of the plants before digging them up. Now my house smells of nothing but Devil's Club - a bitter scent somewhere between ginseng and ginger.
Another friend of mine suffers from hypoglycemia, so I am testing out a tea for them using Devil's Club bark and Huckleberry leaves - both of which have shown in scientific studies to reduce or inhibit the symptoms of diabetes and hypoglycemia by stabilizing blood sugar. If it works, then it will become a healing tea to be sold regularly in my Botanica. I'm currently developing other healing teas as well, my "Sleep-Aid" tea has already been tested and found very effective and I am also working on a cold & flu tea, a headache tea, and a stomach/indigestion tea. My previous recipe for the stomachic tea had Devil's Club in it, but I might take it out and use it for an internal healing wash instead as it caused some mind-altering results in one of my test subjects, by no means at the hallucinogenic level, just a shift in perception that freaked the poor fellow out a bit. It was drunk by the local shamans to help them travel to the spirit world after all so hmm, perhaps for a magical tea instead.
Today I awoke to a perfect spooky foggy fall morning

Once performing real spells and other magickal work, offering is often a understand to scheme libations to the gods and goddesses of your selected craft. For these rituals, a chalice is necessary.

FTC Disclosure - I received a free PDF copy of this book from the publisher. Receipt of a review copy is not in any way contingent on a favorable review.
Illumination: The Shaman's Way of Healing
by Alberto Villoldo
Hay House Publishers, Inc.
March 1, 2010
24.95, 216 pages
I am way late coming to this book for review - school and life got in the way. Hopefully the good folks at Hay House will forgive the untimely nature of the review.
I first encountered the work of Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. back in the early 1990s when I first began to study shamanism. The first book I read was Healing States: A Journey into the World of Spiritual Healing and Shamanism (1986), which was co-written with Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., who was his adviser for his Ph. D. in humanistic psychology. The next book I cam across, his second, was The Four Winds: A Shaman's Odyssey into the Amazon (2000), co-authored with Erik Jendrensen.
Both of these early books had the feel of good anthropology, unlike the magical and fictional books of Carlos Castaneda (even his Ph.D. work was fictional). There was some controversy, however, due to his direct involvement in the cultures he was studying. Traditionally, there has been a practice of non-participatory research so that the author can maintain some objectivity.
In his own biography at The Four Winds Society site, he acknowledges that his interest was personal as well as professional. Besides, Villoldo is a psychologist, not an anthropologist:
I set off to learn from researchers whose vision had not been confined to the lens of a microscope; from people whose body of knowledge encompassed more than the measurable, material world that I had been taught was the only reality. I wanted to meet the people who sensed the spaces between things and perceived the luminous strands that animate all life. I wanted to study with investigators who knew the energy side of Einstein's equation E = MC2. My own journey into shamanism was guided by my desire to become whole. In healing my own soul wounds, I walked the path of the wounded healer and learned to transform the pain, grief, anger and shame that lived within me into sources of strength and compassion.After those first two book, I did see anything from Villoldo until many years later when I found a copy of Shaman, Healer, Sage: How to Heal Yourself and Others with the Energy Medicine of the Americas (2000) in a used bookstore. Whereas the earlier books were a bit more objective in their narrative, this book was a self-help book. It did not go unnoticed that one of the blurbs on the cover was from The New York Times Book Review, in regard to The Four Winds:
THE FOUR WINDS: A Shaman's Odyssey Into the Amazon, by Alberto Villoldo and Erik Jendresen. (HarperSanFrancisco, 9.95.) A California psychotherapist becomes a disciple of a Peruvian shaman and the hallucinogenic plant ayahuasca. Last year our reviewer, Bradd Shore, said "the narrative has the feel of an Indiana Jones thriller.... Midway between science and literature, 'The Four Winds' is a flight of serious fancy, confounding our categories of fiction and nonfiction."Emphasis added. That was exactly my feeling. My sense was that Villoldo was moving toward a New Age market, like Castaneda's, and away from hard science. Yes and no.
Since then, Villoldo has published several more books:
* "Mending The Past ">Illumination, I was curious to see if my doubts were founded. So I also went back and looked at some of his more recent books in that list. The most recent book, Courageous Dreaming, is not far removed from the issues I have with Tibetan Buddhism, which is essentially the anthropic egotism that suggests human consciousness creates the universe. This is a popular idea in the New Age marketplace (sometimes called Biocentrism), but reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of quantum physics.
In this newest book, Villoldo is looking more at the notion of how we can transform consciousness from a shamanic perspective:
For the shamans it is a series of awakenings and realizations that we pass through again and again. These illuminations are a part of our developmental journey, and we don't discard any of them as we ascend to the higher rungs. We transcend and include them and grow beyond our earlier levels of understanding while including each illumination as part of an integrated self. (p. X)And this:
There are seven life passages we all experience during our lives-birth, manhood or womanhood, first love, marriage, parenthood, sagehood, and death. To experience these as initiations requires us to face and defeat our inner demons, comprehend our oneness with Creation, and understand our duty as the stewards of all life.
Anything short of illumination is not a complete healing. Shamanic healers don't distinguish cancer, diabetes, or heart disease in their cosmology. They see these conditions and many others as symptoms of a spiritual illness-the loss of a sacred sense of oneness with the universe, and our neglecting our role as participants in Creation. (p. X-XI)These are certainly worthy topics of discussion. His concept of repeated "illuminations" that are not unlike initiations, and which must be passed through many times on the way to wholeness, is in line with much of what we understand about stages of development - even the phrase "transcend and include" is right out of Wilberian Integral Theory.
He argues that each of the initiations we go through (and resisting them, he suggests, is futile - we simply ended having to face them again in some other context) offers us an opportunity to heal those emotions that remain unhealed. We may not have to deal with all seven initiations in the traditional sense. For example many of us are opting out of having children, yet we may have to deal with the metaphoric birth of a business, a book, or some other creation that we bring into the world.
I like this approach to life, and I find that statements such as the following are not very different from what we might find in a book by Pema Chodron, a Shambhala Buddhist:
Our unhealed emotions are the source of our deeply ingrained beliefs that convince us that a particular situation is a problem we are powerless to change. We can solve any difficulty in our lives-from discovering love to achieving peace in our world-if we heal our emotions and then change our beliefs. (p. 3)In addition to the seven initiations we must pass through, there are also seven toxic emotions (once known as the Seven Deadly Sins) that we need to break free from: Wrath, Greed, Lust, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, and Pride. According to Villoldo, initiation is how shamans heal toxic emotions, and that by healing these emotions, we may not change the world (directly) but we change our little piece of the world. Through initiation, we can transform the seven toxic emotions into virtues: Peace, Generosity, Purity of intent, Courage, Compassion, Temperance, and Humility.
For each of the seven traditional initiation stages, there is an emotional experience or outcome (generally an emotional wound) if we fail the initiation, and then there are the corresponding demons (toxic emotions) and angels (healthy emotions) that adhere if we pass or fail the initiation.
For example:
Initiation stage: First Love.
Emotional experience if we fail the initiation: You search in vain for the perfect partner, feeling lonely and incomplete. You are unable to have a sexual experience in which you surrender to intimacy.
Demons and Angels: Lust, healed by Purity of Intent.
By framing these somewhat traditional growth stages as initiations, Villoldo brings in a more spiritual feel to the process - this is very similar to what I suggested a while back on this blog about how change functions as a ritual process (separation, initiation, return) in the Spiral Dynamics model (see Part Three: Change as Ritual and Part Four: Ritual Structure of Change).
In the Introduction, he offers a four-stage model of initiation (expanded on in more detail in Chapter Four) using the Buddha as a model (he assumes the traditional story/myth of the Buddha's early life and later enlightenment is true - I would refer interested readers to Stephen Batchelor's Confession of a Buddhist Atheist for what may be a much more accurate telling of the story of the Buddha's life):
The Buddha's illumination perfectly illustrates the four stages of the journey of initiation:
1. The awakening: recognizing your dilemma ("There is death and disease, and I am trapped inside a palace.")
2. The great departure: embarking on your journey ("I am a monk and shave my head.")
3. The tests: confronting challenges and adversity ("I sit in stillness.")
4. Illumination: the return to bring gifts of knowledge to others ("We can all be free from suffering." (p. 11)
For the most part, this is a useful model for spiritual growth. In that sense, I can easily recommend the book.
However, when he gets into brain science, much has changed since he was in school - and in order to make his ideas fit his model, he takes some liberties with the neuroscience. A passage such as this, still in Chapter One, sounds good but is logically flawed:
When you fail to complete one of your initiations, one of the seven deadly emotions begins to stir in primitive regions of your brain. For example, lust arises, and your mind then wraps a melodramatic story around this emotion, breathing substance into it and causing it to take on a life of its own. (p. 13)This statement assumes that we do not feel lust until or unless we fail the initiation (First Love), which one might assume happens in our adolescence or teen years. However, I can assure that lust is not purely a craving for physical sex - although it is that - but it is also craving and attachment in general. Even if we accepted the literal definition, children who are not even close to being old enough to understand romantic love can and do feel physical, sexual cravings for pleasure (see Ruter, M. (1971). Normal psychosexual development. J Child Psychol Psychiatry; 11: 259-283.).
He then goes on, however, to use a very cogent distinction between feelings (physical, natural) and emotions (cognitive interpretations of feelings) first clarified and outlined clearly by Antonio Damasio in Descartes' Error and expanded in The Feeling of What Happens. Feelings are immediate, and if we do not become attached to them, they pass through us pretty quickly (as when a child starts crying when startled and then stops in less than a minute and carries on as if nothing had happened), but emotions are feelings that get stuck in our attachments in the form
or neural connections (the amygdala plays a large role in this process).
This passage clarified his perspective:
All emotions are viral programs running in the subconscious recesses of our brain. And every emotion creates suffering for ourselves and pain for others. Feelings are new, fresh, and of the moment. Emotions are old, tired, and programmed into neural networks in the archaic brain. We believe that we cry because we're sad or lash out because we're angry, but in reality these emotions arise from the depths and grab hold of us: we're sad because we cry, we're afraid because we flee, and we're angry because we strike. The belief that we cry because we're sad arises because we've wrapped a sentimental and false story around that emotion. (p. 15-16)
Again, I tend to agree with this perspective and find it useful in my own training as a psychotherapist. Too many people are trapped in dysfunctional emotional patterns and confusing those stuck feelings as who they are as human beings.
Throughout the book, he offers a series of exercises that seems useful for rewiring the "primitive neurocomputer" in our heads. What Villoldo is suggesting is similar to what Dan Siegel suggests we can do in his new book, Mindsight, i.e., healing faulty emotional patterns through meditation and mindfulness.
The only real difference I can see in this book and some other recent books on personal transformation is the framing of the process within a shamanic worldview. This "secularization" of shamanic practices for a Western audience has cost him some support among those with whom he taught in The Four Winds Society (especially in regard to the fabricated 9 Rites of Munay-Ki).
It seems he has pulled back a bit from that questionable behavior, so the new books makes the most useful material he has learned more accessible to a mainstream reader - the people who need this information.
A few last thoughts:
* There is no index, and only a few end notes. I am sure he is not writing for an academic audience, but it would a LOT of legitimacy to his work to actually site some sources or even give credit to those whose ideas he is presenting here.
* The tone of the book is very, shall we say, New Age. Among those in my circles, this is an insult, but among those who read books of this nature it is probably a recommendation. But there is certainly little of the scientist left in Villoldo's prose.
This deserves at least one example:
Once, while hiking in Canyon de Chelly in Arizona, I met a Navajo medicine woman. When I asked her name, she replied, "The red-rock canyon walls am I, the desert wind am I, that child who did not eat today at the reservation am I." (p. 91)Having been there, and having known a few Hopi, I am pretty sure that would never happen. Although maybe I just never met the right Hopi.
* Lastly, there is good and useful information in this book, and while I think many of the exercises are very safe for most readers, I would have some concerns around trauma victims, who prone to dissociation, doing some of these exercises. As often as not, these are the people drawn to this kind of work because they have serious wounds to heal. But there is no warning about safety or psychological grounding, working with a teacher, or about the risks of working in isolation.
Take all of this for what it's worth - one man's opinion.
