DOWNLOAD EBOOKI know what you’re thinking. But forget what you know about the Morningstar. This isn’t a cute adaptation, this is my eternity, and being the half-demon daughter of a god isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. From privileged princess to weaponized demon hunter... it's time to prove I can fight my way home. A princess of the Fire Realm isn’t supposed to fall in love. I was promised to a son of the Cloud Realm to end a millennia’s old war between the two. But fate had other plans for me. Now I’m being punished for my rebellion, and my banishment means an eternity on Terran cleaning up demonic messes until I hit my quota. One thousand demonic souls banished back to the Fire Realm. That’s the deal. I’m almost there. I’m almost halfway home, and not a moment too soon. Three hundred years on Terran is starting to mess with my head. But hey, we all have our demons. ... I always get into trouble in Los Angeles, but there has to be a reason that I’m here. The only problem is, I can’t decide whether it’s the visions that have pulled me here... or something else. Kids go missing in this city all the time, but Alice is different, and I have to find out why. The only reason I know this is different? Because there’s a man on my doorstep with an LAPD badge asking for my help, and when Adam comes knocking, I can’t say no. My immortal soulmate knows I will do anything for him, but that's how it as after centuries of being in love. Where there’s smoke there’s fire, they say. And I can smell brimstone from a mile away. Los Angeles is rank with it, except there’s only one demon I’m looking for, and I need to send it packing before it does some real damage. But first, I’m going to need more coffee. From author Saralin Cook, Dreams of the Dead is Book 1 in the ongoing Hellbound saga. Welcome to a world of magic, adventure, immortal love, mouthy (but loyal) cat sidekicks, and a kick-ass heroine saving the human world... one demon at a time. Reader Be Warned: this book contains adult situations and language, and a healthy helping of graphic violence.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA guidebook for communicating with the departed and gaining first-hand knowledge of life beyond death • Reveals that the easiest way to communicate with the departed is through dreams • Offers methods for helpful and timely communication with deceased loved ones • Provides powerful Active Dreaming practices from ancient and indigenous cultures for journeying beyond the gates of death for wisdom and healing We yearn for contact with departed loved ones. We miss them, ache for forgiveness or closure, and long for confirmation that there is life beyond physical death. In The Dreamer’s Book of the Dead, Robert Moss explains that we have entirely natural contact with the departed in our dreams, when they come visiting and we may travel into their realms. As we become active dreamers, we can heal our relationship with the departed and move beyond the fear of death. We also can develop the skills to function as soul guides for others, helping the dying to approach the last stage of life with courage and grace, opening gates for their journeys beyond death, and even escorting them to the Other Side. Drawing on a wealth of personal experience as well as many ancient and indigenous traditions, Moss offers stories to inspire us and guide us. He shares his extraordinary visionary relationship with the poet W. B. Yeats, whose greatest ambition was to create a Western Book of the Dead, to feed the soul hunger of our times. Moss teaches us the truth of Chief Seattle’s statement that "there is no death; we just change worlds."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhile in training at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich in 1988, Susan Olson suffered the loss of her daughter in an auto accident. In this intimate and unique exploration, Olson uses C. G. Jung’s psychological framework to describe her journey through tragedy, guided by a series of vivid dreams. In Images of the Dead in Grief Dreams: A Jungian View of Mourning, Jung's definition of the dream as a "harbinger of fate, a portent and comforter, a messenger of the gods" evolves from theory into embodied insight as Olson describes her encounter with the transforming power of grief. Drawing from personal experience as well as theoretical and clinical material, Olson presents premonitory dreams, which occur before the loss of a loved one, and grief dreams, which follow a loved one’s death, and analyzes both according to Jung’s method of dream interpretation. Sharing her own dreams as well as those of other mourners, Olson asserts that such dreams play a crucial role in the dreamer’s emotional recovery and psychological development, otherwise known as the process of individuation. She sensitively offers an assessment of the stages of grief and draws on the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone, Jung’s memoirs, and other literature to amplify her experience of mourning. In this rare combination of grief theory and dream work, Images of the Dead in Grief Dreams is both a grief memoir and an extensive study of C. G. Jung’s view of the mourning process. This fully updated revised edition will be of immense interest to Jungian analysts and trainees, academics, psychologists, students of Jungian dream analysis, and to all who have suffered loss.
