The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology includes information, interviews, and stories about forty different cryptids seen in various places all over the world by credible eyewitnesses like policemen, rangers, and doctors. Readers will learn where and how to find flying humanoids, hairy humanoids, giants of all kinds including rabbits, bats and spiders, goblins, vampires, werewolves, demons, aliens and ghosts. In the third book of our Weiser Field Guides, Bella online paranormal editor, Deena West Budd, surveys the still-emerging field of cryptozoology--a term coined in the 1950s by a French zoologist named Bernard Heuvelmans--the study of "hidden" or "unknown" animals not recognized in standard zoology. From traditional cryptids like Big Foot, the Abonimable Snowman and Nessie, to mythical cryptids like unicorns, vampires, dragons, and werewolves, to lesser-known cryptids like bunyips (waterhorses), Encantado (Dolphin Men of Brazil), thunderbirds, mothmen, and chupacabra, these creatures are very much alive, says Budd, if beyond the realm of normal perception.The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology includes a brief history of the field of cryptozoology and surveys all the creatures for which any credible amount of research exists. Budd gives readers tips on how to spot these creatures, as well as cautionary advice on how to interact with them. Two dozen line drawings rendered from eye witness descriptions accompany the text.

Conrad Weiser: Pennsylvania Peacemaker 1.34

Paperback. This classic astrology text, revered by beginners and professional astrologers alike, is now available in a Weiser Classics edition. Saturn's darker persona is recognized universally in myth and fairytale. In this classic astrology text, renowned astrologer and Jungian analyst Liz Greene offers a fresh perspective on how to handle the influence of this much-maligned astrological symbol.In Saturn, Greene shows us how the frustrating experiences connected to this planet can be turned into opportunities for greater insight and meaning in our lives. Saturn, she says, symbolizes a psychic process-one that allows us to utilize the experience of pain for self-discovery and a more fulfilling and complete life. Greene retraces Saturn's character through sign, house, aspect, and synastry in a brilliant analysis that reveals his other face: that of the initiator who, for the price of our honesty with ourselves, offers us greater consciousness, self-understanding, and, eventually, freedom. 'The most important single contribution of twentieth-century astrology is that astrology is not a map of one's fixed destiny but is a potential map of the unfolding of the authentic, higher self.' - Robert Hand, from the foreword Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Conrad Weiser and the Indian Policy of Colonial Pennsylvania 0.97

Die Bauern hungern, weil sie dem Kaiser so viel Reis abgeben müssen. Gegen diese Not erfindet ein weiser Mann ein Spiel für den Kaiser - das Schach. Der Kaiser ist begeistert, und der Weise wünscht sich als Lohn ein Reiskorn für das erste Feld auf dem Spiel, zwei Reiskörner für das zweite, vier für das dritte und so fort bis zum vierundsechzigsten - immer das Doppelte. Erst am Abend merkt der Kaiser, dass er keine Ahnung hatte von der versprochenen Reismenge: Eine Kolonne voll beladener Frachtschiffe von der Erde bis zur Sonne würde nicht ausreichen, sie zu transportieren! Künftig bekommt der Kaiser nur so viel Reis, wie er braucht, und in seinem Land muss niemand mehr hungern.

As the title testifies, students were sworn to secrecy before being given access to this magic text, and only a few manuscripts have survived. Bits of its teachings, such as the use of the magic whistle for summoning spirits, are alluded to in other texts. Another key element of its ritual, the elaborate "Seal of God," has been found in texts and amulets throughout Europe.Interest in The Sworn Book of Honorius has grown in recent years, yet no modern translations have been attempted--until now.Purporting to preserve the magic of Solomon in the face of intense persecution by religious authorities, this text includes one of the oldest and most detailed magic rituals. It contains a complete system of magic including how to attain the divine vision, communicate with holy angels, and control aerial, earthly, and infernal spirits for practical gain.Largely ignored by historians until recently, this text is an important witness to the transmission of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism to European Hermeticists.

John Dee (1527-1608) is most known for his work with Edward Kelley in contacting spirits and transcribing angelic language. Smith provides a clear retelling of their famous and tempestuous relationship and lays to rest some of the ridiculous stories about Dee. Charlotte Smith's biography draws from Dee's private diaries and several of his important works including The Book of the Mysteries and A True and Faithful Relation, bringing to light all his truly remarkable accomplishments. As a man of great learning, he fell under the suspicion of his less-gifted contemporaries and suffered rumor and even imprisonment. But for the most part, he was quite famous in his day, serving as mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer to the royal court of England. Smith credits him for initiating the creation of England's National Library.
