    Wicca Herbal Magic: The Complete Guide to Herbs and Plants for Wiccan Rituals and Herbal Spells: With Magical Oils, Teas, Bath Blends, and Simple, Basic Spells for Beginners , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 268min
    Are you fascinated about the real use of Wiccan herbal magic and essential oils? Do you want to learn more about the properties and alternative ways of using herbs and plants of all kinds? Without a doubt, herbal magic is one of the most empowering and holistically rewarding ways to practice witchcraft and honor the values of the Wiccan faith. When we nurture plants to grow from seed, we see the magical interplay of the four elements in action - the earth provides security and nourishment, while water softens the earth to make it receptive and fertile; the fire of the sun gives the seed energy to manifest and grow, while the energy of air serves to spread seed and continue the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Nature is magic in action. My goal is to help you tap into that magical energy, become one with the natural universe, and heal yourself - and others - in the process. By harvesting, preserving, and repurposing plants in our recipes, potions, and magical rituals, we can live in harmony with the cycles of nature, drawing inspiration and fulfillment from the natural world and paying that positivity forward in a concrete, tangible manner. Still, diving into the world of herbal magic can feel overwhelming at times. There are so many plant species to learn about, so many magical and medicinal properties and correspondences to memorize, and countless ways to get involved. This book is written for the Wiccan who is familiar with the faith and basic theories of witchcraft but is still a complete novice to herbology. Even if you are a complete beginner and do not know where to begin, this book will serve as a guide on your path to improve your life through the power of the plants. I’ll cover every angle so that you can decide what branch of herbal magic is best suited to your lifestyle - gardening, apothecary work, healing magic, and kitchen witchery - and provide fool-proof guidelines to get you started on your jour ungekürzt.

    Osiris Ritual-Ptahmose & the Magic Spell Part 1
    PTAHMOSE AND THE MAGIC SPELL - THE OSIRIS RITUAL Every spring the River Nile recreates itself. Osiris dies. Geb the earth, becomes hard and dry. The softness of the earth is gone. Apep, the God of clouds, prevails. Osiris, the first king of Egypt and the God of resurrection, had been killed by his brother Set, the God of destruction. Set had tricked Osiris into lying in a coffin, which Osiris thought he would win as a prize if it fit properly. Set and his forty-two accomplices nailed Osiris in the coffin and cast him into the sea. Isis, the Mother Goddess and the wife of Osiris lamented and searched. The Nile was dry. Tehut-Thoth, who is the utterence of thought and who created the world by naming it, moves to activate life by making harsh sounds with his tongue. Isis finds Osiris. A tree had grown around his coffin enclosing him in it's trunk. Isis brought her dead husband home and hid him so that Set wouldn't find him. But Set does find him and dismembers his body, scattering the pieces across the land. Egypt is without a King. Horus, the son of Osiris, sets out to avenge the death of his father. Set as the brother of Osiris, claims the throne. Horus also claims the throne as the son of Osiris. They and their followers pull the balance of Egypt back and forth. Upper and Lower Egypt are pulling against each other. But Horus is victorious. Horus is King of Egypt and Osiris'death is avenged. Balance is restored. The river rises. Osiris has risen, having returned from Ament, the West, where Ra, too, struggles each night to head Eastward and recreate himself in the dawn. The Nile softens the hard earth and the river becomes red with it's essence. Geb is in the Nile. The hardness of Apep has given way to softness. Creation has begun again and will continue each year. The Role of Maat The Egyptians lived in a many-sided world. Modern man searches to reduce this manifold to One. The only singleness to the Egyptian was the balance generated by the Many. Maat is this balance. She is the only Egyptian deity whose name is used as an abstract noun. Maat is Truth. Maat is Justice. Maat is inherent in the Many. The uniqueness of the particular is what makes the balance. To concentrate on similarity would have removed the vibrance of the tensions that generate this balance. Halim speaks: I love to work with high school kids. Our interaction through the operas I compose for them generates a feeling of life and exuberance. I do not choose between the 'talented' and the 'untalented', nor do I choose between the trained and the untrained. I use all voices. My appetite is for the whole range of sounds that a human being can make. Since my traditions are rooted in Egypt, my language of sound tends to bring into being the sounds of Africa. In Africa singing is a function of life. One sings as an activity, not in order to be good. To be a good musician in Africa is to make total use of the instrument, not to select only certain capabilities of the instrument and make these capabilities the law of the instrument. Young people of high school age have not yet been completely conditioned by what I consider to be artificial standards of musicality. Every human being makes sounds. I am interested in the uniqueness of each person's sounds. Any standard defining the good voice eliminates the availability of a wide range of vocal characteristics. A composition grows beyond the composer's pen during the process of production. Having a group of young people who have not been selected on any notion of talent or musicality provides a wider range of realization for the composition. I, therefore, get more satisfaction from the realization of my works. Ptahmose is my third work with The Hawthorne School of Washington, D.C. This opera was part of an academic course in which the students studied the art, architecture, mathematics, literature and religion of Ancient Egypt while they learned the music of this opera and learned to play Egyptian drums (derabuccas). Anyone who chose to take this course automatically became a singer and a drummer in the cast. The final exam in the course was the production itself. By that time the students were so involved with the content of the opera that there was simply no need to worry about 'acting'. Their bodies and faces literally spoke the meaning of their words as they sang. There was an immediacy of communication. In this opera I have presented Ancient Egypt as I see her while making extensive use of the scholarship of Egyptologists. The words of the libretto that are not in English are either transliterations from Egyptian hieroglyphs or made-up words where I was more concerned with sound meaning than with verbal meaning. Halim El-Dabh Kent, Ohio 1972.

    Incessant
    VISIONS zum Vorgänger: Bands wie Fidlar, Cloud Nothings oder Metz machen es gerade vor: Die 90er sind wieder da! Und zwar so richtig: mit verstimmten Gitarren, polterndem Schlagzeug, roher Produktion und ganz großen Melodien. "1991: The Year That Punk Broke" ist zwar schon ein bisschen her, das hindert Meat Wave aber nicht daran, sich am Sound dieser Zeit ausgiebig zu bedienen. Nach ihrem knappen, stärker am Punk orientierten Debüt (2013), will der Nachfolger "Delusion Moon" nun gleich ein Konzeptalbum sein. Diese vollmundige Behauptung kann man getrost in dem Moment vergessen, in dem der Titeltrack lospoltert, als müsste die ganze Energie der Band gleich im ersten Song raus. Meat Wave spielen ihre Songs gerne direkt und dreckig in drei Minuten durch. Manchmal gehen sie aber auch Umwege, verwehren die Erlösung, die ein hymnischer Refrain bietet, im schleppenden "Witchcraft" zum Beispiel. Diese Momente sind wichtig, da sie der Band eine Identität verleihen. Außerdem stecken auf "Delusion Moon" immer noch genügend Hits, um das Energielevel durchgängig oben zu halten. TITUS zum Vorgänger: MEAT WAVE aus Chicago spielen schwelgerischen Lo-Fi-Garagenpunk zwischen bratzigen Noise und sommersonniger Melodien. "Delusion Moon" die zweite Platte des Powertrios erinnert in seiner poppigen Rotzigkeit an Bands wie die Wipers oder die melodieseligen Momente der Cloud Nothings. In late 2014, Meat Wave's 24-year-old frontman Chris Sutter found himself facing the end of the relationship he had been in since he was 12 years old. "When you're in something like that for so long, it doesn't shield you from the world, but it softens your reality,¿ he explains. "A long relationship like that gives you confidence.¿ The Chicago punks had already made their second album Delusion Moon, a hardcore blast that castigated the weak excuses we ply for poor behaviour. That would come out in 2015. In the interim, Sutter started keeping a notebook to try and document the profound mood swings and torrents of anxiety that he was experiencing in the wake of the split, writing stream-of-consciousness poems about his feelings from day to day, city to city. One term kept coming out: the incessant. The Incessant became both the title and guiding light for Meat Wave's third album "There was this realisation that I felt like the music I had written prior to this was more of a defence mechanism of sorts by not writing about what was going on in my life and not confronting myself, and instead looking outward at other people and what they were doing,¿ he says. The Incessant is a bracing, emotional record that confronts taking responsibility for your actions with dark humour and self-deprecation.
