Описание: The runes are a pan-European magical language. Its roots lie in the ancient pagan beliefs of our ancestors, who built many thousands of stones circles, long barrows and dolmens throughout ancient Europe. These same symbols and techniques were used by the pagan Celts and Germans. This book is a complete manual of magick based upon arcane symbolism and secret techniques. Contents: Meaning /Urda /Origins /Futhorc /Magical inscriptions / Memorial stones /Fascism / Titles / Cosmology / Nature / Qabala / Vision / Werdandi / Rune stance / Breathing/ Vowel song / Problems / Tune in / Health? / Divination / Alignments / Sigil sorcery / Sei r and Seething / Energy /lda / Rune companion / Sources Jan Fries lives in Frankfurt near the Taunus Mountains. He is a musician, artist and magician. '...eminently practical and certainly breaks new ground.' - Ronald Hutton (author Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles) Recommended by The Cauldron 'a very meaty read...' PJ in Gippeswic Preface to the new edition When I went to school, my history teacher told us about the old Germani. In her opinion, the Taunus mountains were populated by a bunch of brawny brawlers who wore horned helmets and small pieces of pelt. They lived in hilltop settlements which were fortified by ringwalls. Barely able to manage agriculture, they had to rely on hunting to fill their stomachs. They lived in shabby huts with mud-plastered walls and when the Romans came, they fought the invaders with crude swords, pointy sticks and by hurling rocks at them... Nowadays, the ringwalls of the Taunus are known as the work of La T ne Celts, who lived on the heights in well organised cities. For this new edition much of the text has been rewritten and updated. A large section on the bronze ages, the Celts, Germani and the later Vikings added. The theme of Wodan and Helja has been elaborated with more detail on pagan Scandinavia. The chapter on magical rune inscriptions has been extended, on Sei r/seething trances rewritten, the bibliography updated and twelve pages of new illustrations added.

In recent years, questions such as "what are kids eating?" and "who's feeding our kids?" have sparked a torrent of public and policy debates as we increasingly focus our attention on the issue of childhood obesity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that while 1 in 3 American children are either overweight or obese, that number is higher for children living in concentrated poverty. Enduring inequalities in communities, schools, and homes affect young people's access to different types of food, with real consequences in life choices and health outcomes. Fast-Food Kids sheds light on the social contexts in which kids eat, and the broader backdrop of social change in American life, demonstrating why attention to food's social meaning is important to effective public health policy, particularly actions that focus on behavioral change and school food reforms.
Through in-depth interviews and observation with high school and college students, Amy L. Best provides rich narratives of the everyday life of youth, highlighting young people's voices and perspectives and the places where they eat.
The book provides a thorough account of the role that food plays in the lives of today's youth, teasing out the many contradictions of food as a cultural object--fast food portrayed as a necessity for the poor and yet, reviled by upper-middle class parents; fast food restaurants as one of the few spaces that kids can claim and effectively 'take over' for several hours each day; food corporations spending millions each year to market their food to kids and to lobby Congress against regulations; schools struggling to deliver healthy food young people will actually eat, and the difficulty of arranging family dinners, which are known to promote family cohesion and stability.
A conceptually-driven, ethnographic account of youth and the places where they eat, Fast-Food Kids examines the complex relationship between youth identity and food consumption, offering answers to those straightforward questions that require crucial and comprehensive solutions.

Описание: A smorgasbord of more than 50 recipes celebrates the versatility of the deep-fried french fry. Why tear open bags and slide tasteless frozen potato sticks into the oven? Much more appetizing are home-cut Belgian hand-made french fry souffl?s, extravagant tornados, or delicate spaghetti nests. Regardless of shape or thickness, whether you are looking for a quick snack or an entire meal, this book presents a palette of potato options. From prepping the perfect potato to selecting the right type of oil to serving the perfect dipping sauce, this book not only presents french as an accompaniment but also lets them take center stage like the french fry burger or chili french fries.
Through sometimes hilarious stories, university ombudsman and award-winning author Amy Fish conveys useful ways to approach getting what you want or need. Maybe it's working with children, maybe it's ordering at a restaurant, maybe it's a serious situation with your job, or maybe you want to correct an injustice or right a wrong you observe. No matter the situation, Amy can guide you toward a resolution where you get what you want and everybody walks away happy. This isn't about making demands or bullying others. It's about seeing the situation from all sides so that you can frame your request in an appropriate and civil manner. It involves respecting the position and rights and needs of the other individuals but not giving up. Our lives are much better when we can handle requests with grace and have the courage to speak up in the first place.
It's a simple equation: You can't get what you want unless you know what that it and you know how to ask for it. It may sound simple, but it isn't unless you take in the suggestions and approach outlined by Amy Fish. The stories in I Wanted Fries with That relate real-world situations and show how you can observe, request, and ultimately receive the best result, and get what you want. Persuasion is an art used by the best sales people, and charm comes into it, too. But even the shyest wallflower can use these techniques to begin requesting and receiving better treatment, better quality service, or better wages for their contributions in their daily encounters.
Speaking up and asking for what you need can be harder than you think, but if you don't learn and use the skills, you'll be left with a sandwich with no fries, or something much worse. Many of us need help building these skills. They can be learned and the good news: You can practice them pretty much every day. Amy offers practical advice about complaining effectively that she's gleaned from years and years of dealing with complaints. The basics are there, the characters are real, the incidents all truly happened. Most problems are solved not only by the merits of each side of the issue, but because of the way the solutions are presented, and that's where the advice of Amy comes into play. You'll learn techniques for stating your case but also being persuasive while standing your ground.
The book is split into three categories. "I Want My Problem Solved" goes through typical problems that we all run into where we need to ask for a solution to our problems. The second section, "I Want You to Change" is about asking other people to do things differently. We may want them to shower more, or be on their cellphone less -- or show up on time to family events. Finally, the book finishes with a section called "I Want Justice Served." In these examples, we are looking for things to change so that the world can be more fair. Maybe it's too late for a personal payoff, but we want justice for everyone else -- we want to ensure that the doctor never says anything offensive again, or that no one else's grandma trips on construction debris. The book is rich in colorful anecdotes, stories, and advice, and each section includes questions for reflection or action plans to start getting what you want and need. If you want your problems solved, you want other people to change, and overall you would like to see justice served, I Wanted Fries with That is the best book for you.

Описание: There are tales that strange fires can be seen glowing on the mounds, and that on spooky nights, great armed warriors arise from their resting places. Then the doors to the deep are thrown open and unwary travelers have to beware of being invited into the halls of the dead and unborn. Who knows the nights when the gates are open?

Описание:
Kali Kaula is a practical and experiential journey through the land of living magical art that is Tantra, guided by the incisive, inspired and multi-talented hands of Jan Fries. By stripping away the fantasies and exploring the roots, flowers and fruits of Tantra, the author provides an outstandingly effective and coherent manual of practices. Acknowledging the huge diversity of Tantric material produced over the centuries, Jan Fries draws on several decades of research and experience and focuses on the early traditions of Kula, Kaula and Krama, and the result is this inimitable work which shines with the light of possibility. Unique in style and content, this book is more than a manual of tantric magick, it is a guide to the exploration of the inner soul. It contains the most lucid discussions of how to achieve liberation in the company of numerous Indian goddesses and gods, each of whom brings their own lessons and gifts to the dedicated seeker. It is also an eloquent introduction to the mysteries of the great goddess Kali, providing numerous views of her manifold nature, and showing the immense but hidden role played throughout history by women in the development and dissemination of tantric practices and beliefs. Jan Fries explores the spectrum of techniques from mudra to mantra, pranayama to puja, from kundalini arousal to purification to sexual rites, and makes them both accessible and relevant, translating them out of the Twilight Language of old texts and setting them in the context of both personal transformation and the historical evolution of traditions. The web of connections between Tantra and Chinese Alchemy and Taoism are explored as the author weaves together many of the previously disparate strands of philosophies and practices. This book challenges the reader to dream, delight, and develop, and provides an illustrated guidebook on how to do so. Bliss awaits those who dare.
