DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProximity to the monarch was a vital asset in the struggle for power and influence in medieval and early modern courts. The concept of ‘access to the ruler’ has therefore grown into a dominant theme in scholarship on pre-modern dynasties. Still, many questions remain concerning the mechanisms of access and their impact on politics. Bringing together new research on European and Asian cases, the ten chapters in this volume focus on the ways in which ‘access’ was articulated, regulated, negotiated, and performed. By taking into account the full complexity of hierarchies, ceremonial rites, spaces and artefacts that characterized the dynastic court, The Key to Power? forces us to rethink power relations in the late medieval and early modern world. Contributors are: Christina Antenhofer, Ronald G. Asch, Florence Berland, Mark Hengerer, Neil Murphy, Fabian Persson, Jonathan Spangler, Michael Talbot, Steven Thiry, and Audrey Truschke.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book, first published in 1932, demonstrates how the control of certain ‘-isms’ has for long moulded the interpretation of Indian belief and ritual by Western writers particularly. In every chapter there is some new coordination, often iconoclastic of then-accepted theory, whilst the new wealth of customs carefully recorded is astonishing. Long disputed problems such as that of the Maratha ‘devak’, or that of the ceremonial sowing of seedlings known to Western scholars as the ‘gardens of Adonis’, have at last been settled through careful research.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a powerful working tool for practicing magicians. Daniel Updike shares from his 30+ years of experience in the arcane, unveiling the principles BEHIND the magick that can help the reader become effective in lasting power NO MATTER what system (if any) the practitioner chooses to utilize. Daniel shares from both the perspective of a "pagan" sorcerer with a lifelong relationship with the Norse Runes, and as a Ceremonial Magician, who has worked as a conjurer in traditional and non-traditional modalities. The exercises and teaching within this book open the doors to a level of understanding that is rarely breached in occult circles, as most are concerned only with their own "systems" of operation. The value of magickal systems is NOT under-rated but is shown in conjunction with the psychological principles that make these systems work--a "hack" into the arcane mind! A magician, a "master level" hypnotist and one with both religious AND non-religious concepts of the arcane make this work by Daniel Updike a worthwhile addition to any occultist's library--ESPECIALLY if they are more than arm-chair theorists, and enjoy the thrill of ACTION oriented practice with powerful results.
