Описание: In Sufi Women of South Asia. Veiled Friends of God, the first biographical compendium of hundred and forty-one women, from the eleventh to the twentieth century, Tahera Aftab fills a serious gap in the existing scholarship regarding the historical presence of women in Islam and brings women to the centre of the expanding literature on Sufism. The book’s translated excerpts from the original Farsi and Urdu sources that were never put together create a much-needed English-language source base on Sufism and Muslim women. The book questions the spurious religious and cultural traditions that patronise gender inequalities in Muslim societies and convincingly proves that these pious women were exemplars of Islamic piety who as true spiritual masters avoided its public display.
Описание: This book is a comprehensive review and analysis of the reserve powers and their exercise by heads of state in countries that have Westminster systems. It addresses the powers of the Queen in the United Kingdom, those of her vice-regal representatives, and those of heads of state in the less studied realms and former colonies that are now republics. Drawing on a vast range of previously unpublished archival and primary material, The Veiled Sceptre contains fresh perspectives on old controversies. It also reveals constitutional crises in small countries, which have escaped the notice of most scholars. This book places the exercises of reserve powers within the context of constitutional principle and analyses how heads of state should act when constitutional principles conflict. Providing an unrivalled contemporary analysis of reserve powers, it will appeal to constitutional scholars worldwide and others involved in the administration of systems of responsible government.

Описание:
When Faye, the ruling goddess of Alindor, and Lady of Light, is cast from the heavens by her wicked sisters, Nymiane and Etain, she finds herself unable to tap into her powers. As if that wasn't cruel enough, she quickly discovers that a mask has been sealed against her face, unable to be removed.
She is soon feeling panicked, but as luck would have it two good samaritans scoop her up and whisk her away to a house full of ladies. There, Faye is forced to lie about who she is and where she is from and finds herself easily making friends with her new housemates.
As things begin to settle into a new routine, no one anticipates Faye being abducted by King Zev of Melothra, or that he plans to use her as an instrument of chaos, courtesy of Nymiane, on the eve of his annual ball.
A war is about to break out and when the clock strikes midnight-who will survive?
This novella is perfect for fans of Aimee Carter's Goddess Test, Amber R. Duell's Fragile Chaos, and Marissa Meyer's Cinder.

Mary reached across the bar, grabbed a folded linen napkin and slid it towards him. "Well, at least cover yourself," she said. "This is a public place.""No one has ever noticed me before," he said. "I've sat here at this bar in my altogether for about ten years.""Ten years? What happened ten years ago?""I was murdered in my hotel room," he said with a shrug.

Описание: Aleister Crowley's magical philosophy of Thelema had a major transformative effect on the occult arts and sciences, ushering in a new era of esoteric revelation for the twentieth century and beyond. Among Thelema's more enigmatic figures is the Lady Babalon, a manifold goddess embracing the powers of the Divine Harlot, Initiatrix, Creator and Destroyer. 'A Rose Veiled in Black' is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary anthology of twelve essays and rituals of Babalon by scholars, practitioners, and allies of Thelema. Exploring occult themes of sacrifice, magical liberation, prophecy, witchcraft, and abomination, it marks a watershed publication for the discourse on this important and previously neglected aspect of Thelemic Studies. The written works are enhanced by an offering of original and visionary art from contemporary practitioners, each exploring the magical arcana from a ritually embodied perspective.--Publisher
