DOWNLOAD EBOOKThese days, almost everyone is familiar with the 'rough guide' travel books that offer maps, advice and tips on the best places to visit when traveling abroad. In many ways you can consider this book in the same vein as these books, but rather than offering advice to backpackers and students on their gap year, this book offers advice for anyone interested in rediscovering and experiencing for themselves the majik, mystery and beauty of the ancestral Heathen traditions of Northern Europe, as expressed through Yggdrasill; the mighty world tree that stands at the very centre of all existence. Just like the rough guidebooks, 'Up And Down The Tree' is about being active, about getting out there, seeing the sights, experiencing things for yourself, making new contacts in new lands and returning home to draw your own conclusions for yourself. Each chapter will in turn introduce you to either a new world or a different aspect of Yggdrasil and the vibrant mythology, folklore and Majikal practices that are specific to that particular realm. Immersing yourself deep within the nine worlds you will breathe life into the ancient stories of Gods, heroes and wondrous beings that populate the myths, sagas, folk and Fairy tales of the North. As you do so , you will come to realise that these are not simply strange fictions from a bygone era, but everlasting truths that offer us a way of seeing and experiencing reality that is as meaningful to us today, as it was for our early ancestors. Your journey through Yggdrasil will be filled with practical Majik of all shapes and forms. Along the way you will learn of Seidr, the mysterious Majik of the 'other', and of Galdr, the ancient Majik of the Runes. You will learn how to traverse the veil between the physical realm of Midgard and the many realms of the nonphysical otherworld and on your travels gain friends, allies and guides within these realms. You will discover how to manifest your intent and will using the Runes. How to sign, sing and empower the Runes, and how to use your own body to carve the Runes into the very fabric of reality itself. You will meet with Gods and Giants, Elves and Dwarves, ancient Ancestors and fantastic beasts of all shapes and forms. You will learn the Elven Majik of glamour and Fascination, how to turn the mind, kindle fire in the emotions, change the past and weave the present according to your own desire. You will learn of Odhroerir, the precious mead of inspiration and the ancient power of the little red ones; the sacred mushroom Amanita Muscaria. All this and much, much more. Packed full of Majikal exercises, rituals and tasks, and illustrated throughout, this new edition of 'Up And Down The Tree' has been totally revamped and organized according to the authors original vision for his book. Accessible to complete beginners and more advanced Majikal practitioners alike, 'Up And Down The Tree' is a book you will return to time and time again and will prove an invaluable guide to anyone intent on traveling the Heathen path and experiencing its Majik and majesty for themselves.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRolfsen's beautiful book on knots and links can be read by anyone, from beginner to expert, who wants to learn about knot theory. Beginners find an inviting introduction to the elements of topology, emphasizing the tools needed for understanding knots, the fundamental group and van Kampen's theorem, for example, which are then applied to concrete problems, such as computing knot groups. For experts, Rolfsen explains advanced topics, such as the connections between knot theory and surgery and how they are useful to understanding three-manifolds. Besides providing a guide to understanding knot theory, the book offers 'practical' training. After reading it, you will be able to do many things: compute presentations of knot groups, Alexander polynomials, and other invariants; perform surgery on three-manifolds; and visualize knots and their complements.It is characterized by its hands-on approach and emphasis on a visual, geometric understanding. Rolfsen offers invaluable insight and strikes a perfect balance between giving technical details and offering informal explanations. The illustrations are superb, and a wealth of examples are included. Now back in print by the AMS, the book is still a standard reference in knot theory. It is written in a remarkable style that makes it useful for both beginners and researchers. Particularly noteworthy is the table of knots and links at the end. This volume is an excellent introduction to the topic and is suitable as a textbook for a course in knot theory or 3-manifolds. Other key books of interest on this topic available from the AMS are ""The Shoelace Book: A Mathematical Guide to the Best (and Worst) Ways to Lace your Shoes"" and ""The Knot Book.""

DOWNLOAD EBOOKContains three complete novels: STRUCK: Book 1 When Phoebe Meadows gets struck by a strange light in the stock room of Macy’s, life as she knows it flies out the window. As if being hit by lightning isn’t bad enough, she’s accosted in the subway by a man with a missing hand, arrives home to find a raven on her kitchen counter, and her neighbor Ingrid shows up dressed like a gladiator, hell-bent on protecting her. Before Ingrid can shuttle her off to safety, Phoebe is kidnapped and tossed into one of the Nine Worlds, where she’s quickly forced to come to terms with what she is: a Valkyrie. The only problem is, she has no idea what that means. After a narrow escape, she finds an unlikely ally in Loki’s son, Fenrir. Together, the Valkyrie and the wolf must battle their way back to New York City and reach the Valkyrie stronghold where Ingrid is waiting for her. But with danger and obstacles at every turn, Phoebe might not live long enough to learn the full truth about who and what she really is… FREED: Book 2 Phoebe Meadows has one thing on her mind: Free her mother. For the last month, Phoebe has been training in the Valkyrie stronghold readying for battle. But when she stumbles into a secluded valley after a day of grueling practice, she’s given a dire prediction. Phoebe must leave the stronghold immediately with the aid of the giant, Junnal, to rescue her mother from the dark elves. If Phoebe fails, Leela will be transported to a place that can no longer be reached. Leaving Fen behind threatens to undo her, but Phoebe stays true to the mission. Along the way, she allies with the god Baldur and an old white elf mage. Together, they storm the realm, and with the help of an angry wolf and her Valkyrie sisters, they just might stand a chance to free the valiant shieldmaiden. But Phoebe soon learns that rescuing her mother comes with a price, and she’s about to lose something too precious to sacrifice… EXILED: Book 3 Phoebe Meadows is on trial for her life. After freeing her half-brother, Baldur, Phoebe is set to stand before the Council in Asgard to answer for her actions. The threat of exile if she’s found guilty looms, not to mention the added stress of meeting her real father for the first time. Upon entering Asgard, Phoebe discovers new allies in a half-brother she’s never met as well as an oracle who is in possession of valuable information. A little added help couldn’t have come at a better time, because when Phoebe is tossed into an unknown realm, she’s only armed with Gundren, a jewel, and her wits. When Loki shows up, all bets are off. The trickster god throws a wrench in Phoebe’s plans and kidnaps Fen, her only ally. And just when she thinks she sees the light at the end of the tunnel, Phoebe finds she has to defeat one last obstacle: The Norns. And they aren’t planning to go down without a fight…
