Magical oils have been utilized throughout history to bring about change and empower the powerless. They have been used to anoint Kings and priests, to cleanse sacred objects, and to heal wounds, and broken hearts. This practical guide-book by Gregory White follows anointing oils back in time and how they have been used Biblically, in Hoodoo, in prayer, and in spellwork. Learn how to use magical oils to anoint spell candles, prayer papers, mojo bags, to ritually cleanse the home, on the body, on objects, and secretively. Includes a list of herbs, roots, and minerals found in magic and their meanings. A complete guide of oils used in Hoodoo and Saint and Angel magic along withover fifteen spells and rituals using oils. Topics covered: - What is a Magical Oil? - What is Hoodoo and Spellwork? - Ingredients in Spiritual Oils - Herbs, Roots, Minerals used in Hoodoo and magic - Way to Use Magical and Spiritual Oils - Hoodoo Oils - Saint and Angels Oils - Working Magic with Oils in Spells, Rituals, and Prayers - Candle Color Associations - Spells with Magical Oils Excerpt - "Probably the most important of all ingredients found in a magical oil is your intention. Purpose, faith, focus, and emotion set magical waves in motion. It is something I preach about often to clients - that no oil, candle, powder, or herb will do you any good without putting something of yourself into the work. Rubbing oil on a candle, lighting it, and walking away will not bring you what you want. When I create a batch of oils, I pray over them, asking that they work for whoever receives them. If the oil is of a loving nature, I imagine loving thoughts and request that they enter the bottle. For a money blend, I concentrate on rolls of cash, stacks of coins, and bills being marked 'paid' and ask all Guides and Gods to help make it so. When you use an oil created with this type of focus then combine it with your own, it is like having two practitioners working on your situation." The author is not only a certified clinical aromatherapist but also a professional Tarot reader and rootworker. He and his husband own an herb and metaphysical shop in Tennessee that specializes in Hoodoo and Folk Magic.

A synopsis is a tool which displays different passages of a text side by side for comparison. This is most commonly done with the four Gospels of the New Testament because of their similar material, but it could reasonably be done with any text that has similar passages, such as the Old Testament historical narratives. The synopsis you presently hold contains the four Gospels of the New Testament. It is different from comparing parallel versions, such as one English translation to another, because all of the passages displayed in this synopsis are from the same version, the NET Bible. It is different from a harmony because the passages are not reorganized into one story; each Gospel in a synopsis is separate from the others and can be read by itself or in comparison with the others. This parallel arrangement enables fruitful comparison of the Gospels to each other so each may be understood well on its own in light of the others.

In the aftermath of the turmoil that shook North Africa in late 2010 and early 2011, commentators and analysts have sought explanations to the factors that triggered the uprisings and to understand why a region, seemingly characterized by relative stability for decades, would suddenly erupt in convulsions. Had an underlying dynamism in the region overwhelmed what were ostensibly stable authoritarian regimes? What were the connections to events and dynamics beyond the region, such as countries in the Middle East, international commodity markets, and environmental factors, amongst others? Why had allies abetted authoritarianism for so long, and what were the implications for such alliances? North African Politics: Change and continuity brings together experts to explore these questions, providing in-depth analyses of important developments in the region, which build upon and complement the 2008 companion volume, North Africa: Politics, Region and the Limits of Transformation. This 21-chapter volume is a key contribution that responds to the need in the Anglo-American sphere for sustained, critical studies on North Africa and examines political, economic, security, social and military aspects of the region. Focused studies on individual countries allow detailed discussion of regional factors. The book also examines extrinsic, trans-regional dynamics, such as North Africa’s influential interdependencies with the Levant and the Gulf, Europe, Sahelian and sub-Saharan Africa, and North America. Its innovative approach provides new perspectives on North Africa, extending its research scope to include Egypt and exploring China’s evolving role in the region. Providing an important contribution in the assessment of the ever-shifting political and social tectonics within and beyond North Africa, North African Politics is an essential resource for students, scholars and policy makers in Middle Eastern and North African Studies, and beyond.

Little House on the Prairie books have been beloved by both children and adults alike since they were first released in the 1930's. This book contains 21 word search puzzles based on the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Unlike other puzzle books that are usually thrown away when finished, this work is meant as a guide to the Little House books to keep and refer back to. Contains information about each of the Little House books as well as interesting information about the Ingalls family, the places where Laura lived, and the television series. Complete list of all the Ingalls - Wilder museums and homes with contact information on how to visit. Puzzles suitable for all ages. Parents may choose to read the entries about the Little House books to their children, as they are written on a young adult reading level. Each puzzle was created by the author by re-reading the entire set of Little House books and pulling out words that showed the basic theme of each story. Puzzles and descriptions based on each of the following Laura Ingalls Wilder books: - Little House in the Big Woods - Farmer Boy - Little House on the Prairie - On the Banks of Plum Creek - By the Shores of Silver Lake - The Long Winter - Little Town on the Prairie - These Happy Golden Years - The First Four Years - On the Way Home - West From Home Gregory White has been studying Laura Ingalls Wilder for over 35 years. Excerpt: I was able to take a charter bus with Evelyn and a group of about fifteen others (mostly adults) to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home in Mansfield, Missouri. The experience of visiting Rocky Ridge Farm is probably why I still enjoy museums to this day. It wasn't the souvenirs in the gift shop that interested me - it was being able to walk across the same floors as Laura and Almanzo, to look out of the same windows of their house and see the views they saw, and to actually lay eyes on the desk where she wrote the Little House books. For someone wanting to become a writer when he grew up, it showed me a connection between a real person and a place, and the world she created to share with the entire world through writing. - Gregory White
