Grow Your Magic: Invigorating Magic Spell Book for Any Aspiring Wicca Practitioner Looking to Enhance Their Knowledge of Wicca Herbal Spells , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 240min
In most nations and in all climes there are those who've relied upon the ability of herbs, trees, plants, and blossoms. Many historical races had their own sacred plant or tree.For example, the pine tree was the sacred tree of the early Celts and the druids placed great store in the ability of mistletoe which grows upon the walnut. Even to this very day, the people of wales phone it prewar, "the tree".From the same way that the early Greeks and Romans venerated the pine tree along with the ash. This was the belief of those ancients that man sprang out of a tree. The Teutonic tribes of northern Europe had a similar belief.The beliefs of those ancients had their source in much the exact same manner as those individuals in Africa and in the orient. Oftentimes they arrived as legends or stories brought home by a Greek or a roman who'd traveled into a distant land. Frequently these stories were altered or altered to fulfill the terms of the new users. Oftentimes the very blossoms or plants or trees have been transplanted to their home for farming.This is true of this rose whose first home is thought to have been Persia in which it was held a sacred blossom of love. Some early roman or Greek viewing this gorgeous blossom, also remarking upon its own odor and understanding of its alleged energy for a talisman of love, possibly brought it back into Greece and Rome in which it had been cultivated and grew in significance as a symbol of love.The Greeks were the first of the ancient Europeans to create the arts, literature, philosophy, and even science into a rather large level. The pages of history are full of the names of Greeks that have been wise beyond their period. Socrates, Plato, Aristophanes, Aristotle are but some of those early sensible guys.The Romans, on the other hand, were very much like the Greeks. Whereas the Greeks were great leaders and philosophers and musicians, the Romans were law givers. What faith, philoso ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nor Sabrina Luethy.

Modern Jamaica: The History of the Caribbean Island from Christopher Columbus to Today , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 146min
On October 12, 1492, one of the most important “first contacts” of the modern era was made when three ships of Spanish origin approached the island archipelago now known as the Bahamas, cautiously dropping anchor as the captain of the fleet gazed across to what he assumed was the coast of India. According to the popular version of the story, amazed at the sight of ships and men of such unfamiliar appearance, the native people of the island plunged into the clear waters of the western Atlantic, expertly swimming or aboard dugout canoes, and came out to greet the strangers. The entries into Christopher Columbus’ log as he recorded his first encounters with the indigenous people of the “Indies” are very telling. The island people arrived alongside his ships, offering humble gifts that Columbus described as “parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass beads and hawks' bells.” These were the Taínos people, or the “Arawaks” as they would come to be known, and Columbus described them as “well built…with good bodies and handsome features.” What Columbus wanted in the first instance was gold, and he was quick to observe the small items of gold jewelry worn by his visitors, which alerted him immediately to the fact that there was gold to be found somewhere on these islands. To get to the bottom of it, Columbus would waste no time. Thus, a chain of events was set in motion that would permanently affect Western civilization. It was, indeed, information gleaned from the natives of Hispaniola that an island across the straits to the east was the regional source of gold that prompted Columbus himself, on his second voyage (1493-1496), to investigate. He arrived on the north coast of Jamaica on May 5, 1494, aboard the caravel Niña, dropping anchor in what is today known as Saint Ann’s Bay. He named the place Santa Gloria, remarking in his journal that the island was the fairest that any eye has beholden. H ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Houle.

History in 30: The Life of Ulysses S. Grant , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
When one thinks of true American heroes, many names come to mind. American schoolchildren are quickly taught about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and a number of other important figures through the ages of American history. But one often overlooked president held the fate of the entire North American continent in his hands. In the 19th century, one of the surest ways to rise to prominence in American society was to be a war hero, like Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison. But few would have predicted such a destiny for Hiram Ulysses Grant, who had been a career soldier with little experience in combat and a failed businessman when the Civil War broke out in 1861. However, while all eyes were fixed on the Eastern theater at places like Manassas, Richmond, the Shenandoah Valley and Antietam, Grant went about a steady rise up the ranks through a series of successes in the West. His victory at Fort Donelson, in which his terms to the doomed Confederate garrison earned him the nickname "Unconditional Surrender" Grant, could be considered the first major Union victory of the war, and Grant's fame and rank only grew after that at battlefields like Shiloh and Vicksburg. Along the way, Grant nearly fell prey to military politics and the belief that he was at fault for the near defeat at Shiloh, but President Lincoln famously defended him, remarking, "I can't spare this man. He fights." Lincoln's steadfastness ensured that Grant's victories out West continued to pile up. Despite being the best known Union general of the Civil War and a former president of the United States, Grant was penniless after being swindled by a fraudulent business deal when he learned that he had terminal cancer in the mid-1880s. Facing death, and with his family suffering financial difficulties, Grant set about writing personal memoirs that would not only secure his legacy but also provide for his family. Grant finished his mem ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/098060/bk_acx0_098060_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.- Shop: Audible

Quarantined Home Alone With Sis (eBook, ePUB)
Two weeks. Two full weeks home alone with my gorgeous, red-headed sister, Amanda. No Internet, no phone, nothing. We couldn’t even leave the house. Just the two of us - without mom or dad. Without rules. And without protection! Excerpt: "Now what the fuck are we supposed to do?" Amanda slammed the front door and threw her purse on the table. I grabbed some snacks from the pantry and threw her a bag of Doritos. Mom and dad had just come home from a vacation to Mexico, when they'd tested positive for the BS69 virus. That meant they had to spend two weeks in quarantine. But that also meant that we couldn't leave the house. "Tell me! What? No TV, no Internet, no fucking nothing!" She plopped herself down on the sofa, her soft, over-sized breasts bouncing with her. Amanda had just turned 19. A natural red-head, she had a light sheen of freckles that aggravated her to no end, but to be honest it made her look so fucking sexy that I couldn't see straight. She grabbed her phone, then nearly threw it when she remembered that there was no service. "It'll all blow over, sis..." I gently rescued the $700 phone from her tantrum. "Harrumph!" She crossed her arms over her large chest and pouted. "God, you look sexy when you're mad..." "What?" Her deep blue eyes rounded on me so fast I nearly dropped her phone. "Oh, nothing. I was just remarking how sexy you look." I reached out and brushed my finger against her cheek. "Your freckles might've been cute at one time, but they're fucking hot now, sis." "What the hell are you going on about?" She jerked away from my touch. My eyes scanned her long, slender legs. She'd kicked off her flip-flops and was now barefoot. Since she was wearing only a mini-skirt with trendy panties, I could almost see everything. "You know what they used to do in the olden days when they had to stay home?" Her blue eyes threw daggers at me. "No, pray tell, what did they do in the olden days, brother?" She emphasized the last word. I leaned in, brushed away a lock of her long, blood-red hair and whispered in her ear. "They fucked!" Amanda gasped and nearly fell out of the sofa. "Brother!" She admonished me, but her cheeks filled in with a nice shade of red, almost matching her hair. "Oh come on, I don't believe for one moment that you haven't had naughty thoughts about me." I moved my lips closer and closer to hers until they were nearly touching. "Yeah, but we're..." I pressed my lips to hers, startling us both. She hesitantly kissed me, then pulled away. "Brother, don't..." "I've read your diary. I know your thoughts...Mom and dad are gone. The house is ours. No one will ever know." With those words, I slowly lifted her top off.- Shop: buecher

Rebecca Outram (Sopran) - Robert Macdonald (Bass) - Elizabeth Kenny (Laute) - u.a. // In early seventeenth-century England you couldn't move for nymphs and shepherds.

Charles Burney did not approve, remarking that Henry's music was 'insipid for its simplicity'.- Shop: odax

Ode to Dante
Carol Lian is known as an innovative, original pianist, receiving considerable critical acclaim for her exceptional ability to cross the lines between the performance and interpretation of classical repertoire as well as performing improvisations in her own style . These improvisations are spontaneous works which critics have lauded as lyrical, original, fascinating and intriguing, remarking that she convincingly blends various traditions without lapsing into mere eclecticism. These spontaneous 9 improvisations were inspired by 13th century poet Dante's masterpiece The Inferno, an intense and moving human drama and story of a man's way through the infinite torment of Hell in his search for Paradise. Lian's captivating performance takes you on a journey through music that somehow leaves you changed,and wanting to listen again and again. In Lian's words,' I was so overwhelmed with the power of Dante's poetry, his ability to communicate sensory, visual and emotional thoughts with such directness,honesty,and simplicity, that the unexplained reaction to this was the 9 improvisations as a tribute to his remarkable art.- Shop: odax
