The Shamans Path takes you on a guided journey to discover your lifes purpose. Exercises and meditations take you on an experiential path on which you identify your issues, explore your ancestral ties and relationships, and examine your everyday roles. All of these are released through personal work and ceremony. At the end of the journey, you discover your destiny and move forward with a different perspective about yourself and the world around you. Rooted in the Shamanic practices of the medicine men and women of the High Andes in Peru, the author has taken what has been an oral tradition and concisely explained its history and its practical applications to modern life in North America and elsewhere. By completing the exercises in this book, you move out of time and space, and learn to navigate the pathways to the lower and upper worlds through Shamanic journeying, meet and communicate with spirit guides and power animals, and come to a place where the mind and spirit can find healing. Working closely with the Earth, the author describes sacred ceremonies to create a deep connection with your place of being in the world. Options for working alone or in a group are provided. The work is not easy or fast, but the author offers you step-by-step guidance and advice, as well as personal examples, to help along the way. The authors journey, through the work described, was one of personal transformation and joy, and she wishes you many insights and great blessings as you begin your own journey to the healed state.
If you'd prefer spirituality over the traditional fear tactics and exclusionary claims of theology, The Goddess and the God: A Synthesis by Lorie Odegaard is the book you should read.
That ‘poor law was law’ is a fact that has slipped from the consciousness of historians of welfare in England and Wales, and in North America. Welfare's Forgotten Past remedies this situation by tracing the history of the legal right of the settled poor to relief when destitute. Poor law was not simply local custom, but consisted of legal rights, duties and obligations that went beyond social altruism. This legal ‘truth’ is, however, still ignored or rejected by some historians, and thus ‘lost’ to social welfare policy-makers. This forgetting or minimising of a legal, enforceable right to relief has not only led to a misunderstanding of welfare’s past; it has also contributed to the stigmatisation of poverty, and the emergence and persistence of the idea that its relief is a 'gift' from the state. Documenting the history and the effects of this forgetting, whilst also providing a ‘legal’ history of welfare, Lorie Charlesworth argues that it is timely for social policy-makers and reformists – in Britain, the United States and elsewhere – to reconsider an alternative welfare model, based on the more positive, legal aspects of welfare’s 400-year legal history.

Pia Jo Borg, a part-time theatre instructor, is trying to solve a jewel heist in a bid to win a $10,000 reward. Maxima Roshnikov, a famous diva and the rightful owner of a lavish emerald and diamond necklace, had the heirloom stolen right from her neck during a gala celebrating her twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. She considers the necklace a symbol of her husband's love, and she desperately wants it back. But there are so many suspects! The guest list to the party included an odd cast of characters: the Andersons live in a shabby home amid mansions, and they might want to move up; the Alligrettis seem to be rich, but maybe their wealth is just a sham; and the Constantas are elderly Gypsies who perhaps shouldn't have been at the party at all. And the list goes on and on. Pia's mission to solve the case brings her down unexpected paths and eventually leads her right into the middle of a murder investigation. Finding the thief means finding a killer in the Wild Swans of Innisfree.
