Anatomy of a Witches Coven: Coven Work as an Alchemical Vessel - Power, Structure, and Transformation in Witchcraft

Anatomy of a Witches Coven: Coven Work as an Alchemical Vessel - Power, Structure, and Transformation in Witchcraft

Tim 'Ozpagan' Hartridge

WitchesWorkshop
2026
sidottu
This book is for coven leaders and serious practitioners who know that the real Work begins after the candles are doused and put away. Because a coven doesn't just perform ritual. It generates a living field-through rituals, projection, erotic current, conflict, power, and (sometimes) genuine contact with the numinous. That field can initiate. It can also destabilise the group if the vessel is weak, the agreements are unclear, or authority turns into theatre. Anatomy of a Witches' Coven reframes coven life as "vessel physics"-predictable pressures that appear when people gather in circle around secrecy, intimacy, hierarchy, and the Mystery. Blending lived coven experience with Jungian psychology and alchemical mapping, Tim Ozpagan Hartridge offers language for what's happening-and practical tools for what to do next. Inside you'll find: -The Six Transformations of mature coven work. -A Rosarium-based map of ten stages of coven change. -Agreements, diagnostics, and action steps that turn insight into repair and shared responsibility. Author Bio: Tim Ozpagan Hartridge is a modern Witch, ritualist and writer based in Sydney, Australia. Active since his early teens, he has spent over five decades in coven-based Witchcraft and Western esoteric traditions. He founded WitchesWorkshop in 1999, created Nuit's Veil, a teaching Coven, and the NOX: Night Soul Journey tradition, and hosts Other Conversations podcast. www.witchesworkshop.com

A Roman Villa and Other Iron Age and Roman Discoveries

A Roman Villa and Other Iron Age and Roman Discoveries

Tim Allen; Kate Brady; Stuart Foreman

Oxford Archaeology
2016
nidottu
This report presents the results of archaeological investigations along the 17km-long Gloucester Security of Supply Water Pipeline in the vicinity of Tewkesbury. The archaeological mitigation works were commissioned by Severn Trent Water; following evaluation of the whole route, three sites were chosen for excavation, at Fiddington and Pamington in Gloucestershire and at Bredon’s Norton in Worcestershire. The site at Pamington revealed oval enclosures of mid-late Iron Age date, that at Fiddington elements of a rural settlement spanning all of the Roman period. At Bredon’s Norton the pipeline cut through a series of Iron Age and Roman settlement enclosures and their internal features, and also included human burials of both periods. Unusually, one Iron Age burial was accompanied by a saw, and among the Roman burials was a cemetery of seven newborn infants. An unexpected discovery was the remains of a Roman bath-house with a plunge pool flagged with stones and decorated with painted wall-plaster. This was later drained and had a central cistern inserted, while the loft was used to store grain. The building was destroyed by fire at the very end of the Roman period, resulting in the exceptional preservation of charred grain, together with fragmentary timbers, on the floor.

When Elves Attack: A Joyous Christmas Greeting from the Criminal Nutbars of the Sunshine State

When Elves Attack: A Joyous Christmas Greeting from the Criminal Nutbars of the Sunshine State

Tim Dorsey

William Morrow Company
2012
nidottu
"The undisputed king of the comic crime novel."--Providence JournalNobody does Florida weirdness quite like Tim Dorsey Case in point: When Elves Attack, the New York Times bestselling author's twisted Christmas present to his legion of adoring fans who can't get enough of thrill-killer and Sunshine State historian Serge A. Storms, the most endearing psychopath since Dexter. Dorsey offers the perfect antidote for all those sappy feel-good holiday stories with this zany blockbuster extravaganza in which his wonderfully deranged serial killer Floridaphile delivers his special brand of Christmas cheer. More outrageous than Santa Claus in a Speedo, When Elves Attack serves up a Yuletide feast of the "pure gonzo humor" the New York Times Book Review enthusiastically attributes to this fearlessly funny writer. Think Bad Santa and National Lampoon's Family Vacation, blend in Dorsey's trademark appetite for destruction, and you've got hilarious crime fiction black comedy that anyone would be thrilled to discover stuffed in their Christmas stocking.

How to Stay Human in a F*cked-Up World

How to Stay Human in a F*cked-Up World

Tim Desmond

HarperOne
2019
sidottu
How can we be more mindful when the world is this f*cked up?How to Stay Human in a F*cked Up World is the fresh, engaging answer to this important question. If you’ve tried mindfulness before and failed, we get it. Likely you were told to sit on a pillow in a dark room, meditate, or count your breaths. But mindfulness isn’t about separating ourselves from the problems in the world. Instead, it is about re-learning how to get out there, connect with the suffering of every living being and in so doing, embrace your own personal suffering to heal, transform, grow, and finally find peace.Tim Desmond—an esteemed Buddhist philosopher who has lectured on psychology at both Harvard and Yale and studied under Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh—has spent his life cultivating new ways to bridge the gap between the ancient tradition of mindfulness and modern life. With How to Stay Human in a F*cked Up World Desmond gets right to the heart of our collective pain with a life-changing mindfulness practice for surviving the sometimes-miserable world we live in, featuring strategies and guidance you can start using to feel more connected, joyful, and present today.

How to Be a Husband

How to Be a Husband

Tim Dowling

Blue Rider Press
2016
nidottu
While this book is indeed titled How to Be a Husband, please do not mistake it for a self-help book. Tim Dowling--columnist for The Guardian, husband, father of three, a person who once got into a shark tank for money--does not purport to have any pearls of wisdom about wedded life. What he does have is more than twenty years of marriage experience, and plenty of hilarious advice for what not to do in almost every conjugal situation. With the sharp wit that has made his Guardian columns a weekly must-read, Dowling explores what it means to be a good husband in the twenty-first century. The bar has been raised dramatically in the last hundred years: back in the day, every time you went out for cigarettes, it was simply expected that you came back. Now, every time you're sent out for espresso pods and tampons, it is expected that you come back with the right sort. And being a father doesn't seem to command much innate respect these days, either. When his first child was born, Dowling imagined himself eliciting a natural awe as the distant, authoritative figurehead; he did not anticipate his children hijacking his Twitter account to post heartfelt admissions of loserdom like, "Hi, I suck at everything I try in life." Still, two decades of wedded bliss is nothing to sneeze at, particularly from a couple who agreed to get married with the resigned determination of two people plotting to bury a body in the woods. How to Be a Husband is a wickedly funny guide to surviving the era of "The End of Men" (hint: it involves DIY), and an unexpectedly poignant memoir about love, marriage, and staying together until death doth you part.

The Book of Frogs: A Life-Size Guide to Six Hundred Species from Around the World

Tim Halliday

University of Chicago Press
2016
sidottu
With over 7,000 known species, frogs display a stunning array of forms and behaviors. A single gram of the toxin produced by the skin of the Golden Poison Frog can kill 100,000 people. Male Darwin's Frogs carry their tadpoles in their vocal sacs for sixty days before coughing them out into the world. The Wood Frogs of North America freeze every winter, reanimating in the spring from the glucose and urea that prevent cell collapse. The Book of Frogs commemorates the diversity and magnificence of all of these creatures, and many more. Six hundred of nature's most fascinating frog species are displayed, with each entry including a distribution map, sketches of the frogs, species identification, natural history, and conservation status. Life-size color photos show the frogs at their actual size--including the colossal seven-pound Goliath Frog. Accessibly written by expert Tim Halliday and containing the most up-to-date information, The Book of Frogs will captivate both veteran researchers and amateur herpetologists. As frogs increasingly make headlines for their troubling worldwide decline, the importance of these fascinating creatures to their ecosystems remains underappreciated. The Book of Frogs brings readers face to face with six hundred astonishingly unique and irreplaceable species that display a diverse array of adaptations to habitats that are under threat of destruction throughout the world.

Common Sense as a Paradigm of Thought

Common Sense as a Paradigm of Thought

Tim Delaney

Routledge
2020
nidottu
The notion of common sense and abiding by its implications is something that, seemingly, everyone agrees is a good way of making behavioral decisions and conducting one's daily activities. This holds true whether one is a liberal, moderate, or conservative; young or old; and regardless of one's race and ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. If utilizing common sense is such a good idea, why then, do so many people seem to violate it? This is just one of many significant questions surrounding the idea of common sense explored and discussed in this book. This volume presents common sense as a ‘paradigm of thought’ and as such, compares it to other major categories of thought — tradition, faith, enlightened and rational. Combining a balance of practical, everyday approaches (through the use of popular culture references and featured boxes) and academic analysis of core and conceptual methodological issues, Delaney demonstrates: The limitations of common sense and its place in everyday social interactions How we learn about common sense Why common sense is so important Common Sense as a Paradigm of Thought introduces readers to a rich variety of sociological authors and will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as: sociology, philosophy, social psychology, cultural studies, communications and health studies.

Parliamentary Committees in a Party-Centred Context

Parliamentary Committees in a Party-Centred Context

Tim Alexander Mickler

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
This book examines the working procedures of parliamentary party groups within specialised committees - the backstage but primary means for MPs to influence policy.It explains which MPs specialise in particular policy areas, how they make policy choices in committees, and, subsequently, how these individual decisions are aggregated and ‘unified’ within and via parliamentary party groups. In doing so, the book expertly reveals the internal working procedures of parliaments and the role of individual MPs vis-á-vis the parliamentary party group leadership. Based on an analysis of more than 3,000 committee assignments and over 100 in-depth interviews with MPs, it shows that individual experts in committees have a central role and decision-making power which is more varied and decentralised from the leadership than commonly assumed. It demonstrates that most policy decisions are prepared bottom-up rather than dictated top-down and that parliamentary party groups are not strictly hierarchical organisations dominated by elites.This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of legislative and parliamentary studies, representative democracy, comparative politics, and journalists and practitioners within parliaments.
