Spiritual Encounters is a comparative and theoretically informed look at the religious interactions between Native and colonial European cultures throughout the Americas. Religion was one of the most contentious, dramatic, and complex arenas of confrontation between Natives and Europeans during the colonial era. This volume fully explores the significance of colonial religious encounters. Case studies, organized by theme, showcase previously unexamined sources and offer interpretations that shed new light on Native-European religious encounters in the New World. One group of studies examines the extent to which Native peoples internalized Christianity and the cultural mechanisms that enabled them to do so. Other chapters assess in detail the often uneasy relationship between Christianity and coexisting indigenous religious practices involving sorcery and healing. A third set of essays looks at the broader political and economic forces underlying Native-colonial religious encounters. An introduction and epilogue by the editors provide valuable summaries of the broad patterns characterizing the religious interactions between the West and the Other in the colonial Americas.

Underground author Xaviant Haze tackles the psychedelic underground and delves into the actions of the CIA and British Intelligence, with their mind control experiments and use of drugs such as LSD. Haze explores the pioneers of pyschodelia and the role of British Intelligence in spreading the use of LSD within the music industry. He looks into the CIA and its use of LSD as a mind control drug; at one point every CIA officer had to take the drug and endure mind control tests and interrogations to see if the drug worked as a “truth serum.” He looks into other truth serum drugs at the disposal of intelligence agencies such as scapolamine and asks: “Why waterboarding?” He looks at Big Pharma’s war on psychedelics and the healing powers that these drugs have. It’s a tour de force in search of the liquid conspiracy that still trickles down the alleyways. This is your government on drugs. Chapters include: The Pioneers of Psychedelia; The MI6, MDMA and LSD; Taking it to the Streets: LSD becomes Acid; Great Works of Art Inspired and Influenced by Acid; Scapolamine: The CIA’s Ultimate Truth Serum; Mind Control, the Death of Music and the Meltdown of the Masses; Big Pharma’s War on Psychedelics; The Healing Powers of Psychedelic Medicine; tons more.

This analysis of royal marriage cases across seven centuries explains how and how far popes controlled royal entry into and exits from their marriages. In the period between c.860 and 1600, the personal lives of kings became the business of the papacy. d'Avray explores the rationale for papal involvement in royal marriages and uses them to analyse the structure of church-state relations. The marital problems of the Carolingian Lothar II, of English kings - John, Henry III, and Henry VIII - and other monarchs, especially Spanish and French, up to Henri IV of France and La Reine Margot, have their place in this exploration of how canon law came to constrain pragmatic political manoeuvring within a system increasingly rationalised from the mid-thirteenth century on. Using documents presented in the author's Dissolving Royal Marriages, the argument brings out hidden connections between legal formality, annulments, and dispensations, at the highest social level.
