Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you respond to unfairness? How do you play fair if the rules are rigged? The gift of dwarf planet Eris is the coping skills to creatively navigate and outwit foes on unlevel playing fields and find a cause to champion. This guide covers Eris' journey in the 12 houses and aspects with other planets; conjunction, semi-sextile, sextile, square, trine, quincunx and opposition. The author gives a fun memory-tool, the "A-B-C's of Eris" to help you know the ways Eris impacts the chart. Examples of 300+ famous people with Eris aspects brings the interpretations alive. Amy Shapiro was the first to call Eris a 'Provocateur' (in Forces At Work: Astrology And Career), based on Eris' legendary golden apple exposing over-sized egos. Her job is to awaken our higher impulses. This book extends a long-awaited invitation to Eris -- to join the astrological party as the guest of honor! Reviewers' Comments: "Amy Shapiro has 'done it again' in providing us with a far more useful interpretation of planet Eris than the 'goddess of discord' label originally received from her discoverers. As Provocateur, Eris has a huge variety of ways her placements by sign, house and aspect can be interpreted. Invite Eris to your party and open yourself to be provoked to new and interesting perspectives!" Maria Kay Simms, author: Moon Tides, Soul Passages; Dial Detective; Your Magical Child and Astrology and the Power of Eight "As Oscar Wilde once said, 'The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about.' For years astrologers have not been talking about Eris. Inviting Eris To The Party is a fine book that adds a lot to the discussion of Eris and should get tongues wagging. It may get astrologers thinking about Eris the way they have been thinking about Chiron all these years." Tom Canfield, author: Yankee Doodle Discord: A Walk with Planet Eris Through USA History, and Eris In Signs, Houses, Aspects

Book excerpt: In the early ’90s, the KLF was the biggest-selling singles band in the world—until they destroyed their records, erased themselves from music history, and literally set fire to one million pounds. In this fascinating and in-depth biography, popular British writer and cultural historian John Higgs digs into the story behind the end of one of the most popular bands of the late twentieth century. The band members themselves, when asked in interviews, were never able to satisfactorily explain their behavior, but looked haunted every time it came up. With his characteristically creative mind, Higgs leads readers on a journey to understand “a story that no one knows they are in—least of all the main characters.” Ranging from music history to chaos theory to Carl Jung and Doctor Who, this brilliant pop biography has been named one of the top ten music books of the year by The Guardian, The Independent, and Mojo magazine. Perfect for music buffs and mystery fans alike, The KLF is an engrossing and entertaining read.

Download or read book Postcolonial Astrology written by Alice Sparkly Kat and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tapping into the political power of magic and astrology for social, community, and personal transformation. In a cross-cultural approach to understanding astrology as a magical language, Alice Sparkly Kat unmasks the political power of astrology, showing how it can be channeled as a force for collective healing and liberation. Too often, magic and astrology are divorced from their potency and cultural contexts: co-opted by neoliberalism, used as a force of oppression, or distilled beyond recognition into applications that belie their individual and collective power. By looking at the symbolic and etymological histories of the sun, moon, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter, we can trace and understand the politics of magic--and challenge our own practices, interrogate our truths, and reshape our institutions to build better frameworks for communities of care. Fearless, radical, and fresh, Sparkly Kat's Postcolonial Astrology ushers in a new wave of astrology revival, refusing to apologize for its magickism and connecting its power to the spirituality and politics we need now. Intersectional, inclusive, and geared towards queer and POC communities, it uses our historical and collective constructs of the planets, sun, and moon to re-chart our subconscious history, redefine the body in the world, and assert our politics of the personal, in astrology and all things.

Download or read book Philosophy Through Storytelling written by Pauline Purcell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an accessible beginners manual with all you need to run philosophy groups with children or adults. Whether you work with school pupils, students or adults, philosophy offers the opportunity to develop thinking skills that have both personal and academic application. This practical manual contains detailed guidance and a set of short stories for running philosophy groups. It is ideal for use in schools, the sessions can be used in a variety of environments, and with participants of all ages from five to 95. In each session, the participants start with a warm-up, examine a key stimulus, generate questions from that stimulus, agree to focus on one question and share, and challenge and develop views on that question. Finally they consider how well the process went, warm-down and end the session. Using this approach to philosophy is an excellent way to challenge thinking and to encourage interaction, as some participant responses show: 'It's much more worth listening to than I expected', 'It is great to hear what others think and believe', and 'I feel I know the people in my group much better'. This title is particularly ideal for schools using the P4C (Philosophy for Children) method and for adult special needs group leaders. This accessible manual helps you to introduce philosophy to your group and will change how you and your students think about themselves and others.
