Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller In their first book, the Junk Gypsies—sisters and stars of the popular Texas-born brand and HGTV show—combine big dreams, stories of roadside treasures found, and down-home design projects inspired by epic makeovers for friends like Miranda Lambert, Billie Joe Armstrong, and Sadie Robertson. Amie and Jolie Sikes, the Thelma and Louise of the design world, are the Junk Gypsies: a family with an addiction to flea markets, wanderlust, and Americana inspired design. In their world, cowgirls are heroes, road trips last forever, and junk is treasured. Beginning with a little bit of faith and a whole lot of heart and soul, the sisters travelled the back roads of America like gypsies, collecting roadside trinkets and tattered treasures while meeting kindred spirits and lively characters along the way. With a mix of hippie, rock n’ roll, southern charm, and big dreams, these small-town Texas girls became restless wanderers and owners and operators of their dream business and bohemian brand, Junk Gypsy. Filled with stories from their unique journey as well as DIY projects and bohemian inspired designs, Junk Gypsy is a tribute to all the rowdy gypsies, crafty junkers, free-spirited romantics, and true-blue rebels who have ever dared to dream big.

Download or read book Geometric Keys of Vedic Wisdom written by Lori Tompkins and published by 360lotus Press. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the author's sometimes stranger-than-fiction adventure of recovering long-buried geometric and zodiacal keys which unlock and reveal the true context and sense of the Rig Veda, the lore of Vishnu's avatars, St. John's Revelation and many other ancient mysteries or mythologies. The recovery of these keys dismantles thousands of years of accumulated distortions, superstitions and religious dogmas that have arisen from world-wide ignorance of the occulted meaning and context of the Rig Veda. It simultaneously facilitates passage into our higher (or supramental) ranges of consciousness, wherein all of life is known as a divine singularity or Oneness unfolding itself in the unified field of Time and Space. The revelations herein descended in 2016 as a continuation of Sri Aurobindo's yogic mission to uplift the "Secret of the Veda" along with the true origin and goal of Yoga and the Sanatana Dharma (Eternal Truth) of the Ancient Seers. This book is aimed towards readers interested in the evolution of consciousness, as well as sacred geometry, astrology, integral gnosis, symbology, the true origins of yoga, and the eternal truths (Sanatana Dharma) of India's Vedic Rishis or Seers in our day and Age of Aquarius. It may be of special interest to students of the Supramental and Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo the Mother and Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet (Thea), but one does not have to be familiar with these maha yogis to enjoy, understand, and benefit from the descent of Gnosis that is contained herein. Readers who enjoy Dan Brown books (especially "The Lost Symbol") should appreciate this entirely non-fictional account of the recovery of long-lost symbols and treasures of the Vedic Rishis, which help to solve or demystify many of our world's greatest ancient mysteries, including the true significance of the release of the Seven Rivers in the Rig Veda and the parallel account of the release of the Seven Vials or Bowls of St. John's Revelation. At the least it exposes math (or geometry) as the core of our ancient mythology. In addition to discussing the Kali Yugas and Indian mythology in depth, other world mythologies touched upon include: legends of Thor the Thunder God, Pegasus, the Divine Physician, Dionysus (Bacchus), the Fountain of Youth, water nymphs, Medusa, King Arthur, Excalibur, the Holy Grail, the Water Bearer of Aquarius, the Aztec Sun Stone, the Philosopher's Stone, the Rock of Ages and accounts of Biblical heroes walking on water or holding waters (seas) apart, or extracting water from a rock to quench the masses, as well as the idea of the Virgins of Heaven who await God's faithful martyrs. The single Vedic origin and context of all these mythologies becomes fully apparent in this book. It also becomes apparent that the name and mythology of Niagara Falls is firmly connected to Vedic lore.

Download or read book The Lost Army of Cambyses written by Paul Sussman and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An adrenaline-packed thriller and archaeological adventure by Paul Sussman, an outstanding new storyteller In 523 BC, the Persian emperor Cambyses dispatched an army across Egypt's western desert to destroy the oracle of Amun at Siwa. Legend has it that somewhere in the middle of the Great Sand Sea, his army was overwhelmed by a sandstorm and destroyed. Fifty thousand men were lost. A mutilated corpse washes up on the banks of the Nile. An antiques dealer is murdered. An eminent British archaeologist is found dead at the ancient necropolis of Saqqara. At first, the incidents appear unconnected. Inspector Yusuf Khalifa of the Luxor police is suspicious, however. And so too is the archaeologist's daughter, Tara Mullray. As each seeks to uncover the truth, they find themselves thrown together in a desperate race for survival—one that forces them to confront not only present-day adversaries but also ghosts from their own pasts. From a mysterious fragment of ancient hieroglyphic text to rumors of a fabulous lost tomb in the Theban Hills, from the shimmering waters of the Nile to the dusty back streets of Cairo, Khalifa and Mullray are drawn ever deeper into a labyrinth of violence, intrigue, and betrayal. It is a path that will eventually lead them into the forbidding, barren heart of the western desert, and the answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world. At once an adrenaline-packed thriller and a wonderfully evocative archaeological adventure, The Lost Army of Cambyses marks the debut of an outstanding new storyteller.
