Practical Religion

There are so many ways in which the craft can serve to unite one with the world around us and to enrich ones with all the natural magic that is inherent in this Earth. So many of us make our way through life, sure that there is something a little bit more to this life, but being completely uncertain of how to tap into it or of how to use it to our advantage in life. As it turns out, there is a vast number of ways in which one can align oneself with and avail oneself of the magic that’s all around us.

The human heart’s greatest longing is to see God as he is. And yet, many people simply want to escape hell’s pain, or even worse, they follow our disordered fallen nature in choosing sinful pleasures. Our Lord said the road to heaven is narrow, but the road to hell is wide (see Matt. 7:13). Is choosing the road to heaven merely wanting to avoid pain, or is it actively pursuing the greatest good beyond imagining?

Too often we walk through life in a state of lack, choosing to focus our attention on our deficiencies and allowing our minds, bodies, and spirits to swirl with discontent and negativity. But when our focus and attention is sunk in darkness, that becomes all we experience in our lives. Manifesting offers a transformative new approach. By focusing on what you wish to have or achieve, instead of despairing over what you are missing, you will find that you can manifest those very things in your life.

Pastor John Kilpatrick sounds a prophetic trumpet for believers to lay down their plans and programs that will never bring true revival. This is a call to return to the simplicity of the Gospel!

Mindfulness and meditation are hot topics these days, and it’s not hard to see why. These techniques can be used to relax, calm anxiety, and increase awareness and focus. But all too often, books about them ignore the people who could use their help the most. Today’s teens and pre-teens are more stressed than any other generation, pulled in a thousand different directions by schoolwork and their personal lives.

The mind-expanding wisdom of the Emerald Tablet, simplified! The Emerald Tablet is an ancient Egyptian work written by Hermes Trismegistus that is believed to represent a step-by-step instruction manual for the alchemical process of turning ordinary metals like lead into something much more valuable, like gold. The manual consists of 14 cryptic, symbolic statements that many have tried to decipher over the course of thousands of years. I believe the 14 statements of the Emerald Tablet to be a symbolic guide to a far greater treasure than the conversion of lead into gold.

Empaths are highly sensitive people who can “feel” what others are experiencing, even if the other person does not share information verbally. It’s a unique gift, but it can also be a torment. The world of an empath can be a roller coaster of emotions - from a revelation to anxiety, from feeling blessed to being overwhelmed and depressed. So how does one stop running away from this gift and instead turn it into a fulfilling blessing for yourself and the people around you?

The Children’s Fire forges a trail into Britain’s wild and ancient Celtic past. In the winter of 2009 Mac Macartney walked from his birthplace in England across Wales to the island of Anglesey, once the spiritual epicenter of Late Iron Age Britain, navigating by the sun and the stars, with no map, compass, stove, or tent, and in the coldest winter for many years. The Children’s Fire records that journey, and seeks to lay bare the aching loss of knowing and understanding sacredness as it applies to everything ordinary that brings joy to the human heart.

Suffering is not our enemy but a mechanism by which God is able to help us find, accept, and even use our trials for personal and spiritual growth. In this book, Father Jacob Powell discusses how to see suffering through God’s eyes and how to utilize the tools God gives us to remain fervent in the faith and steadfast in the storm.

This booklet is of vital necessity. You cannot ignore it if you want to live the Spirit-filled life. You will find the description of the condition of the human heart.
