Download or read book The Sixteen Pleasures written by Robert Hellenga and published by Soho Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margot Harrington, an American volunteer in Florence, is an expert at book conservancy. While struggling to save a waterlogged convent library, she comes across a fabulous volume of sixteen erotic drawings by Giulio Romano, accompanying sixteen steamy sonnets by Pietro Aretino. When first published over four centuries ago, the Vatican ordered all copies destroyed. This one—now unique—volume has survived. The abbess prevails upon Margot to save the order’s finances by selling the magnificently illustrated erotica discreetly—meaning without the bishop’s knowledge. Margot’s other clandestine project is a middle-aged Italian who is boldly attempting radical measures to save endangered frescoes. She is 29 and available; he, older and married. He shares her sense of mission and soon her bed in this daring story of spiritual longing and earthly desire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sin dai tempi più arcaici gli uomini hanno cercato di contrastare le manifestazioni più estreme della Natura attraverso un'azione magica, che si è evoluta nei secoli generando credenze, riti e tabù. In Italia, in particolare, è sorta così una religione popolare di antica origine pagana in grado di proteggere dalla Natura ma soprattutto di rispondere alle esigenze terrene e materiali del devoto. Il libro affronta le espressioni di stregoneria popolari e rurali italiane, in un viaggio tra i rituali e gli scongiuri che sanciscono i momenti di passaggio della vita umana in un attento quadro degli antichi usi e costumi della nostra penisola.

Download or read book Italian Witchcraft and Shamanism written by Angela Puca and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-04-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shamanism is thriving as an exotic import and a hidden native tradition in Italy today. This ethnographical work uncovers two faces of Italian shamanism. The first is trans-cultural shamans who creatively adapt rituals and beliefs from indigenous cultures worldwide. Second, extensive fieldwork shows how regional folk magic practices of segnatoriand segnatrici constitute a little-known but enduring form of native Italian shamanism. By documenting these parallel worlds, contemporary magic workers appear to be the heirs of ancient local healing traditions. Offering rare insights into vernacular religion, this book vividly portrays shamans' past and present on the Italian peninsula.

Download or read book How to Pray written by R. A. Torrey and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The intelligent child of God must be driven to say, 'I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and all my heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray.'" Stunning and forthright, R.A. Torrey's "little book on prayer" is a reflection of the writer who once had it said about him, "One wonders if there has ever lived a man who did so many things well for Christ." Torrey deals with the key elements of life-changing prayer, such as praying in the Spirit, abiding in Christ, obstacles to prayer, the best times to pray, seeking revival through prayer, and more. Torrey outlines a practical strategy for living life in conversation with God. Moody Classics Of all the factors influencing our spiritual growth and development, pivotal books play a key role. Learning from those who have walked the path and fought the fight brings wisdom and strengthens resolve. And hearing the familiar chords of kingdom living sung by voices from other times can penetrate cultural barriers that limit our allegiance to the King. To this end, Moody Publishers is honored to introduce the first six volumes in what is to be an ongoing series of spiritual classics. Selected for their enduring influence and timeless perspective, these new editions promise to shape the lives of spiritual pilgrims for generations to come.

Download or read book Earthen Vessels written by Gabriel Bunge and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fathers of the Church, deeply-rooted in the Scriptures, have left us a rich treasure as inheritance, not only of texts, but also of manners, forms and gestures of prayer. Today, western Christianity in a special way, needs to rediscover the intimate union which must exist in prayer just as in any aspect of Christian life between theory and practice, between contemplation and practical exercise. One learns how to pray by praying, and the whole of our being is called to participate in this work: the mind, the heart, but also the body, the gaze, the senses. Fr. Gabriel Bunge, a hermit with great spiritual discernment and profound knowledge of the Fathers of the desert, presents with masterly coherence this important unity between what one believes and what one expresses in the practice of prayer: a fascinating rediscovery of the valuable treasure contained in the teachings of the Church Fathers on the practice of personal prayer.

Download or read book Beatrice Julia written by Camille T. Christie and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-01-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beatrice & Julia With a sensuous eye and profound sense of history, Camille T. Christie tells the story of Julia Allen's quest for the truth about the murder of Beatrice Cenci’s father, a 16th century Roman nobleman. Julia herself is under suspicion by the NYPD for her father’s death. The case was not pursued for lack of evidence. While in the chapel of the Cenci, Julia meets a humble but shrewd custodian who asks for her help in getting an ancient prayer book smuggled out of the country. It turns out to contain several handwritten sheets of the Beatrice’s journal. The journal reveals Beatrice, as she was, neither a heroine nor a cruel murderer, which somehow overcomes fate and death. At Petrella Castle, Julia takes the path to the same mountain where the patricide occurred. There, an image of her father’s death comes back to her. The mountain becomes a metaphor for the cruelty that both women experienced at the hands of their fathers. Here is a novel, both tragic and joyous, intelligent and erotic, a transcendent celebration of passion at the end of two different centuries. A wonderful book, which yields spiritual wisdom and promises to stay long in the mind.
