Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Deep in the mysterious night where all is but distorted dreaming, far beyond the logical grasp of man, yet buried deep in our hearts, there lives an ancient myth instructing us in the mystical art of alchemy and magic. Hermetica is an epic journey of poetic and verse drama that strives to find links between differing aspects of Egyptian mythology. As folklore was once such an embedded tradition, there was no need to record anything on papyri, even after the advent of hieroglyphic and cuneiform writing systems. As a result, an entire body of oral literature has been lost. What remains is but a small part of a potentially massive collection of unrecorded myth. Using the ancient tools of alchemy and magic, this volume seeks to sculpt the events leading to the death, dismemberment, and resurrection of Osiris. Also included is the sequel to the popular Middle Kingdom tale, 'The Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor,' and a dramatic interpretation of the Ptolemaic Lamentations of Isis and Nephthys. The accompanying poetry is a tribute to love, a pure byproduct of the alchemical process.Delve into the realms of unexplored myth, legend, and love as viewed through the hermetical musings of modern-day alchemist and poet, Paul Kiritsis.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Alternative to Energy Wars Like the One in IraqWhat if the United States could be energy independent It's not just a good science fiction plot. In twelve years, the country could be free from its need of foreign oil, not only helping to level the international economic playing field, but also aiding in the repair of the effects of global warming. Although it will take a Herculean effort, Bob Wical's two-part Twelve-Years-to-Hydrogen Plan provides a detailed roadmap to change. The oil from phase one will satisfy the nation's addiction and enhance national security by making the nation self-reliant for its oil supply. Tax revenues from phase one will finance phase two, allowing for the development of a hydrogen fuel infrastructure. Wical's dual strategy is currently the most cost-effective, expedient, and safest plan publicly available.Because of the growing tension in the Middle East and the climate changes that the planet has experienced in the past several decades, now is the time to act. Total Energy Independence clearly shows us how a hydrogen-centered plan is possible, affordable, and sustainable, guiding us to a cleaner, more environmentally friendly future.…
