Download or read book Dangers of the Spirit World written by C. Fred Dickason Th.D and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you know how Satan and demons can affect the course of your life? Many humanistic diagnoses of afflictions and distresses simply do not discover the reality of spirit intervention. A biblical world view should lead us to consider demonic influence and invasion. Some cases of depression, suicidal thoughts, physical afflictions, mental disturbances, and poor relationships are caused by wicked spirits. We need to be aware of the enemy’s tactics and effects. This book will make you aware of the reality of warfare, the resources of the believer in Christ, and the authority to forcefully resist our adversaries. “This book is a wake up call to believers who are often unaware of this invisible enemy who attacks them, their families, and churches” —Dr. Erwin Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus The MoodyChurch, Chicago

Download or read book Werewolves Witches and Wandering Spirits written by Kathryn A. Edwards and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2002-10-25 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together scholars from Europe, America, and Australia, this volume explores the more fantastic elements of popular religious belief: ghosts, werewolves, spiritualism, animism, and of course, witchcraft. These traditional religious beliefs and practices are frequently treated as marginal in more synthetic studies of witchcraft and popular religion, yet Protestants and Catholics alike saw ghosts, imps, werewolves, and other supernatural entities as populating their world. Embedded within notarial and trial records are accounts that reveal the integration of folkloric and theological elements in early modern spirituality. Drawing from extensive archival research, the contributors argue for the integration of such beliefs into our understanding of late medieval and early modern Europe.

Download or read book Broken Spirits written by John P. Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-10 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health problems among asylum seekers and refugees are becoming a public issue, but awareness of this problem among the mental health community is relatively low. Although advances have been made in the provision of innovative mental health services for asylum seekers and refuges with PTSD, they are not systemized, and not widely known to professionals in the field. A publication offering practical guidelines for the treatment of torture victims and political refugees does not exist. Broken Spirits aims to bring together the works of the most respected mental health professionals - from the U.S. and abroad - and make available the most current knowledge on complex PTSD, forced migration and cultural sensitivity in diagnosis and treatment.
Download or read book Spirits and Ships written by Andrea Acri and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume seeks to foreground a “borderless” history and geography of South, Southeast, and East Asian littoral zones that would be maritime-focused, and thereby explore the ancient connections and dynamics of interaction that favoured the encounters among the cultures found throughout the region stretching from the Indian Ocean littorals to the Western Pacific, from the early historical period to the present. Transcending the artificial boundaries of macro-regions and nation-states, and trying to bridge the arbitrary divide between (inherently cosmopolitan) “high” cultures (e.g. Sanskritic, Sinitic, or Islamicate) and “local” or “indigenous” cultures, this multidisciplinary volume explores the metaphor of Monsoon Asia as a vast geo-environmental area inhabited by speakers of numerous language phyla, which for millennia has formed an integrated system of littorals where crops, goods, ideas, cosmologies, and ritual practices circulated on the sea-routes governed by the seasonal monsoon winds. The collective body of work presented in the volume describes Monsoon Asia as an ideal theatre for circulatory dynamics of cultural transfer, interaction, acceptance, selection, and avoidance, and argues that, despite the rich ethnic, linguistic and sociocultural diversity, a shared pattern of values, norms, and cultural models is discernible throughout the region.
Download or read book Charlatans Spirits and Rebels in Africa written by Tim Kelsall and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Stephen Ellis died in July 2015, African Studies lost one of its most prolific, provocative and celebrated scholars. Given the scale and uniqueness of his contribution, it is perhaps surprising that a collection of his writings did not appear during his lifetime. It is now possible to bring such a volume to the public. With an introduction by Tim Kelsall and an afterword by Jean-François Bayart, this collection aims to provide scholars and students with an introduction to the main themes in Ellis' work. These revolved around the roles of religion, criminality and violence in African society and politics--preoccupations that also informed his interpretation of African rebellions and resistance movements. The volume spans more than three decades of scholarship; case studies from six countries; highly-cited and lesser-known articles; and a sampling of works intended for public engagement as well as an academic audience. It will serve as a reader for African Politics and History, and as an invitation to students to delve deeper into Stephen Ellis' oeuvre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the anomalous phenomenon reported, ghost sightings are by far the most common. The words "ghost" and "spirit" are used interchangeably in American English but in other cultures the lingering souls of the departed are not to be confused with ancestral spirits, demonic spirits, numens or poltergeists. This encyclopedia lists hundreds of entities of the spirit realm--from aatxe to zuzeca--from world mythology and folklore.

Download or read book Beyond Rationalism written by Bruce Kapferer and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2003-02-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks a reconsideration of the phenomenon of sorcery and related categories. The contributors to the volume explore the different perspectives on human sociality and social and political constitution that practices typically understood as sorcery, magic and ritual reveal. In doing so the authors are concerned to break away from the dictates of a western externalist rationalist understanding of these phenomena without falling into the trap of mysticism. The articles address a diversity of ethnographic contexts in Africa, Asia, the Pacific and the Americas.

Download or read book Alive with Spirits written by Althaea Sebastiani and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2024-05-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly rewarding guide into a world filled with spirits, communion with the land, and a greater sense of belonging in the world. At the root of most spiritual traditions is the aspiration to realize one's birthright: the intimate connection with the land and the spiritual energies that inhabit it. This connection with the land and its spirits is perhaps nowhere more powerfully felt than in the various traditions of paganism and witchcraft. But the conditions of modern society strain that relationship, leaving us feeling disconnected to our craft and unable to feel that deep and vital connection. In Alive with Spirits, which is based on Althaea Sebastiani's popular online course, you'll discover a path to fully embrace a world filled with spirits, communion with the land, and a greater sense of belonging in the world--a worldview known as animism. You'll explore animism in a hands-on way that teaches through firsthand direct experiences. Through embodied exercises based in wholeness, you'll learn to see the world more fully for what it is and to better understand your place in it. You'll be invited to: Learn the three general types of local spirits and the breadth of variety that exists among them Explore the importance of relationships and what it means to be in community Uncover the way that the wholeness of the world is reflected in the wholeness of the self How to nurture right relationships with your local spirits Alive with Spirits will provide you with a firm foundation from which to transform your witchcraft practice, rooting it into the land and in strong, respectful relationships with the spirits around you.
