DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Redolent of folklore . . . A sweet morality tale of cosmic misadventures and sibling rivalry” by the author of The Cloud Princess (Kirkus Reviews). The Sun and the Moon are sisters, and they rule and sky together peacefully. One day, however, each begins to wonder: who is more important? This friction leads them to make a powerful decision to switch roles, hoping that it will lead to a greater understanding of their powers. Soon, the Sun begins shining all through the night, and the Moon brings night to the day. In the end, the two sisters will learn an important lesson about the importance of harmony and the balance of their relationship. “This wonderful picture book evokes a sense of harmony through pictures and words inspired by a blend of modern and traditional Asian artwork and folklore. Earth tones juxtaposed with bursts of color in mixed media and watercolor create vibrant imagery that thoughtfully reflects nature and honors the spirit of multiculturalism . . . Audiences young and old will admire this wise and magical tale, whether it’s read aloud in a group or shared one-on-one at bedtime.” —School Library Journal “It is the illustrations that stand out, their jewel tones, elegant lines, and complex textures managing to look simultaneously contemporary and timeless.” —Kirkus Reviews

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis mesmerizing coming-of-age novel, with its sheen of near-magical realism, is a moving tale of family and the power of stories. After their mother's probable suicide, sisters Olivia and Jazz take steps to move on with their lives. Jazz, logical and forward-thinking, decides to get a new job, but spirited, strong-willed Olivia—who can see sounds, taste words, and smell sights—is determined to travel to the remote setting of their mother's unfinished novel to lay her spirit properly to rest. Already resentful of Olivia’s foolish quest and her family’s insistence upon her involvement, Jazz is further aggravated when they run into trouble along the way and Olivia latches to a worldly train-hopper who warns he shouldn’t be trusted. As they near their destination, the tension builds between the two sisters, each hiding something from the other, until they are finally forced to face everything between them and decide what is really important.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHave you ever lit a pink candle on a Friday night and thought about the love you would like to have in your life? Maybe even closed your eyes and pictured that perfect person? Have you ever walked into a room, known you were not alone, and said a prayer for protection? Have you ever looked at a telephone, wishing it would ring, and it did? If you have had these or similar experiences, you have put the cosmic forces of the universe to work without even realizing it. Imagine what would happen if you decided to consciously focus your energy, willing these things to happen. Would they? Spell Castings contains more than 100 easy-to-use, practical spells to help you achieve and accomplish your dreams. Spell Castings can be performed by the experienced Witch, but are easy enough for the novice. Specific procedures--including the use of various supplies needed to cast the spells--are completely explained. Spell Castings is divided into color-coded chapters to help you determine which spell you desire to cast. For example, the "purple" chapter includes spells to become more psychic or to help you perform more intuitive readings. If you were seeking a money spell or better employment spell, you would look under the "green" chapter. The color-coded appendix will lead you to the areas you are most interested in casting.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMovies are like modern-day parables that everyone can relate to. The Movie Watcher's Guide to Enlightenment is a Resource that gives a whole new purpose to movie-watching. We use the categories Metaphysical, Classic, and Mind Watcher to designate different phases of the awakening to Who we are. The Movie Watcher's Guide gives you a description of these themes, along with insights to over 200 different movies. Why is it, for example, that we love to see drama, intrigue, love affairs, and adventures on the silver screen? It is because we all relate to the roles, behavior, and actions of those portrayed. Maybe you dislike certain movies, or refuse to see drama or violence. The Purpose of watching movies with the Spirit is to expand our perception and to flush hidden thoughts, beliefs, and emotions into awareness for release. What better backdrop could there be for healing than your own couch! Invite a friend, make some popcorn, and enjoy Waking Up with the Movies.
