Ritual Magic

Ritual Magic

Elizabeth M. Butler

Pennsylvania State University Press
1998
nidottu
Occult knowledge and practice can be divided into three main branches: astrology, which aims to guide human fortune by means of foreknowledge; alchemy, which tries to secure power through the agency of the philosopher's stone; and ritual magic, which seeks to control the spirit world. In this classic book (first published in 1949), Elizabeth Butler explores ritual magic using a wide range of texts, from the pre-Christian rites of the Akkadians and Chaldeans to the Solomonic Clavicles of medieval Europe. She quotes extensively from these documents, providing the reader with an authentic sense of their richness and power. Butler also examines the careers of noted magicians of the fifteenth to nineteenth centuries, the history of ceremonial magic in England, the myth of Satanism, and the rituals involved in the Faustian pact with the devil. Ritual Magic is essential reading for all interested in the history of magic and in the way that magic traditions change as they move from culture to culture and from century to century.

There's More To Life than Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

There's More To Life than Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches

M. Elizabeth Parks

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2010

"There's More to Life Than Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches" is a book that is focused on life-learned lessons that are rooted in Holy Scripture. It is for those who are at a crossroads, and who are on a search for a personal relationship with God. Their journey can be described as spiritual, and they are questioning the "how". Each chapter addresses the evolution of the faith journey as one contemplates how God speaks to our personal experiences through His word. The kernel of the book is how God gifted us with an inner voice we will experience as His guidance, in each moment we live. At the end of each chapter, the reader has an opportunity to delve in provocative questions that serve to excavate belief systems, and to encourage transparent dialogue. My book places strong emphasis on our humanity and on God's fidelity as we travel through faith's stages. Each lesson provides guidance to a place where the reader can recognize a familiar experience and identify with it. The lessons illustrate the commonality of the human experience, and the transcending power of God that enjoins our experiences to faith in Him. This book is for the seeker who feels beckoned to God's call. It is for the faithful who feels uncertain. The lessons emphasize the role of our inner voice and God's wisdom. This awareness anchors the launching pad for faith, and a new life where we experience gratitude in each moment. The book addresses the conditions many of us place on life, thereby rejecting any invitation to learn of God, through His word. It delves into the various scenarios where we are inclined to dismiss our inner voice, and instead pay attention to living outside of each moment. Each chapter ends with an invitation for the reader to unearth their own insights to the chapter's scriptural message. The book's intention is to invite them to begin to trust, by living in each moment. In doing so, they will learn to appreciate life, and God's fidelity.

Benjamin Franklin Butler

Benjamin Franklin Butler

Elizabeth D. Leonard

THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PRESS
2022
sidottu
Benjamin Franklin Butler was one of the most important and controversial military and political leaders of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. Remembered most often for his uncompromising administration of the Federal occupation of New Orleans during the war, Butler reemerges in this lively narrative as a man whose journey took him from childhood destitution to wealth and profound influence in state and national halls of power. Prize-winning biographer Elizabeth Leonard chronicles Butler's successful career in the law defending the rights of the Lowell Mill girls and other workers, his achievements as one of Abraham Lincoln's premier civilian generals, and his role in developing wartime policy in support of slavery's fugitives as the nation advanced toward emanciaption. Leonard also highlights Butler's personal and political evolution, revealing how his limited understanding of racism and the horrors of slavery transformed over time, leading him into a postwar role as one of the nation's foremost advocates for Black freedom and civil rights, and one of its notable opponents of white supremacy and neo-Confederate resurgence.Butler himself claimed he was "always with the underdog in the fight." Leonard's nuanced portrait will help readers assess such claims, peeling away generations of previous assumptions and characterizations to provide a definitive life of a consequential man.

Why Do Bees Buzz?

Why Do Bees Buzz?

Elizabeth Evans; Carol A Butler

Rutgers University Press
2010
nidottu
Twenty-five thousand species of bees certainly create a loud buzz. Yet silence descended a few years ago when domesticated bee populations plummeted. Bees, in particular honey bees, are critical links in the vibrant chain that brings fruits, vegetables, and nuts to markets and dinner tables across the country. Farmers and scientists on the agricultural frontlines quickly realized the impact of this loss, but many others did not see this devastation.Why Do Bees Buzz? reports on the mysterious "colony collapse disorder" that has affected honey bee populations, as well as other captivating topics, such as their complex, highly social lives, and how other species of bees are unique and different from honey bees. Organized in chapters that cover everything from these provocative pollinators' basic biology to the aggressive nature of killer bees, this insightful question and answer guide provides a honeycomb of compelling facts.With clarity and depth, bee biologist Elizabeth Capaldi Evans and coauthor Carol A. Butler examine the lives of honey bees, as well as other species such as orchid bees, bumblebees, and stingless bees. Accessible to readers on every level, and including the latest research and theory for the more sophisticated reader, the authors reveal more than one hundred critical answers to questions about the lives of bees.Concepts about speciation, evolutionary adaptation and pollination, as well as historical details about topics such as Mayan beekeeping and the appearance of bees in rock art, are arranged in easy-to-follow sidebars that highlight the text. Color and black and white photographs and drawings enhance the beauty and usefulness of Why Do Bees Buzz?

Ireland's Others

Ireland's Others

Elizabeth Butler Cullingford

University of Notre Dame Press
2002
nidottu
Ireland's Others is a collection of essays by noted literary and cultural critic Elizabeth Butler Cullingford. In this volume, Cullingford assesses attempts by Irish writers to reverse hostile colonial stereotypes by creating analogies between their situations and those of other oppressed people. She analyzes the political costs and benefits of these analogies, and considers the plight of "others" within Ireland, including women, gays, travelers, and abused children. Cullingford illuminates the connection between gender, sexuality, and national identity by comparing modern Irish literature with contemporary Irish and American popular culture. Exploring the work of Boucicault, Shaw, Friel, Jordan, McGuinness, and others, she considers the impact of globalization on Irish culture.
