    About the BookThe Channeled Path to Immortality contains a specific sequence of runes and sigils that were envisioned by Morgan Gowans over a four-month period in 2022. They came to him while he was in a trance state and he is convinced that they are the formulae for means to attain immortality through the seven stages of refinement of internal alchemy.According to Morgan, the book is written entirely in Dark Fae, which is why it is all runes and sigils.Morgan originally wrote the book using medieval standard linen paper, a porcupine quill, and inks made by using medieval ingredients and techniques. Duane Lacoursiere later photographed the individual pages. Morgan and Lacoursiere hope that someone out there will be able to translate what is in these pages and put what is there to good use.About the AuthorDuane Lacoursiere and Morgan Gowans have been friends since 2000. Both live in the Edmonton area and attend various psychic and medieval events throughout Alberta. The two have formed a long standing partnership where the strengths of each make up for the weaknesses of the other.When Morgan started writing this book, Duane had honestly thought he had gone off the deep end. One day in April of 2023, Duane happened upon local author B.T. Frost, who was promoting his own book, Uncut Gems. Mr. Frost was able to point Duane in the direction of his current publisher and the rest, as they say, is history.Duane decided to challenge Morgan to get the book published as a way of seeing if there was anything to it, or if Morgan had indeed gone off the deep end.The theory is that if there is actually anything to it, then someone out there will be able to make sense of it.

    About the BookSeems like sometimes a feller has ta' write 'bout stuff that coulda been, mighta been, shoulda been, probably didn't happen, but would be funny if it did happen. So that's what the tall tales in this book are all about. Ya see it all started out while attending New Mexico State University from 1962 through 1965. I spent quite a bit of time with a fellow agriculture student named Baxter Black. I reminisce on the times Bax and I sat together in the Ag Building café and told tall tales and made-up nonsense yarns. In 1965, I graduated and went on to pursue a Master of Science of Agriculture degree, and Bax left for Colorado State University to pursue a Veterinary Medicine degree.Baxter later left veterinary practice and made a career writing tall tales and cowboy poetry. One of his major writings was an article named "On the Edge of Common Sense," which appeared in many newspapers and agricultural publications. Eventually, I worked for USDA and wrote a similar article called "Over the Edge" for the agency. I believe both of these articles were inspired by the many times we sat at the Ag Building café and spun these humorous stories. I kept all the stories I wrote, and after many years of pressure from friends and family to publish these stories of the adventures of me 'n' Ol' Joe, I finally agreed. So here to share with you is a collection of these humorous tall tales about two bumbling old cowboys and the not-much-brighter ranch owner who somehow went OVER THE EDGE!About the AuthorBorn in 1943, Mark Finley lived in San Angelo, TX until 1958, when his family moved to New Mexico. Through high school and college at New Mexico State University, he worked part time on ranches and competed in and clowned rodeos to earn his way through college. After earning both Bachelor and Master of Science Degrees in Agriculture, he worked as a feedlot cowboy in Red Rock, AZ, then managed ranches in Southeastern New Mexico before beginning an Agricultural Management Specialist career with USDA. He later earned two appraisal accreditations with the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers and became a USDA Chief Appraiser for Arizona and Hawaii. After retiring from USDA, he opened his own appraisal business specializing in farms, ranches, and commercial ag properties. In 2022, he retired from appraising and began composing Cowboy Poetry and Humorous Cowboy Stories. He makes his home with his wife Maggie in Willcox, Arizona.

    About the BookFractures and Echoes is a project based simply on the author's story of learning and growing. This project has been about the nudges to share with others the author's own hard-learned lessons. It is written through the lens of conversations between a student and his teacher. The student is young and highly inexperienced. His reliance upon his teacher's guidance brings him to moments of deep reflection of his motives and intentions. The student is consistently challenged to prove his resolve in his commitments. In the face of the wisdom of his teacher, the student's true heart is revealed.Each conversation is designed to stand alone and allow the reader the opportunity to reflect through his own experience. Each entry is a one page spread, with intention, to cater to a reader that may have limited time for leisure. In this way, the reader is provided with thoughtful seeds to consider that are elicited by new perspectives, emotional responses, or a combination therein.The reader is invited to actively participate with the entries. The meditative format presented provides guidance in the creation of a space that allows the reader to attune to the lessons and awareness that may be received. Whether the reader chooses to read one page to the next or simply a single entry as so moved, there are guiding questions to prompt deeper reflections. The motivation is to allow the reader to open to the ways and nuances that each entry's lessons have operated in the reader's own life. As an adjunct, the reader will be provided with conscious language to give expression to insights that the reader might not otherwise have had access to.Fractures and Echoes is intended to be the first installment of fifty entries with four additional volumes to follow. Each volume will build to capture a progression in the quality of the student's questions. Through the course of this series, the student is offered the opportunity to become the teacher, passing along all that has been learned to another generation.About the AuthorConinyah was born in Chicago in 1974 to a family that valued education and service. Though he was raised by a single mom, alongside his sister, Coninyah learned at an early age to question why he felt disconnected from his family and from himself. His formative years were shaped by his affinity for poetry, science, and athletic competition. After graduating high school in Wheaton, Maryland in 1992, he graduated in 1996 from the United States Military Academy at West Point with a Bachelor of Science degree in General Engineering. Coninyah then spent 5 years as a military police officer in the US Army, which challenged his perspective of who he thought himself to be.Resigning from the military left Coninyah questioning who he was outside of the context of the army. Traveling from job to job, he found his way to New Mexico where he earned a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine in 2006. Coninyah, along the way, also found teachers who would be instrumental in his course corrections. He would work to lay down dysfunctional habits of distraction and engage what would be his life's work that continues to unfold. Coninyah now teaches meditation and is a practitioner of the healing arts.

    The Beast and His Number (666) On the Calculator was written for the expressed purpose of compiling more data amongst the readers of those who have a mathematical mind, and who are of a religious nature. This compendium shows how to derive the Beast's number, 666, and other relevant numbers pertaining to the number 666. 666 is, of course, the Antichrist's number, and His rise in today's societies is becoming more prevalent right before our eyes! The Beast's number is cleverly hidden on the keypads: of calculators and iPhones as a subliminal number that goes directly into the mind of the person who looks upon the keypad! The subconscious mind can add, and subtract, and can come up with the number 666. Since the subconscious mind accepts this number, the conscious mind tends to accept it as well. It is written in Revelation of the Holy Bible that whoever accepts this number will not be found in the Lamb's Book of Life, but God's wrath abides on them! About the AuthorJohn R. Garay was in the Navy for six years, stationed in Guam. He belonged to the Fleet Ballistic Missile Program. As a 3rd class petty officer, his duties were wide and varied.

    About the BookAcross this country, we seem to have elite politicians and big corporations telling us they should be trusted and that "We the People" should be little sheep and remain quiet so a new world order can be created. They don't need our input since they already know what we want. Mainstream media programs always want to get the experts' advice, so they get high-profile politicians to talk down to Americans. It is sad because most of America has become brainwashed. That includes Democrat and Republican constituents. Several of us see through the lies and are becoming more vocal. This is a book where you, the citizens of this great country, tell everyone how we really feel about where this country is heading. Politicians should read this and understand that we are fed up with the lack of action from them. This book is easy to read; the chapters are not long enough to bore you. This book is dedicated to all those individuals who took the time to answer the questions I asked over several months.This book covers current hot topics in America that are sure to affect our future. Basically, this book is by the people, for the people, and shares the opinions of the Soldiers that I interviewed. I am sure that Jack and I will be criticized by some for these topics. We don't care; we must wake people up before we lose our basic rights and freedoms. These fed-up citizens who kindly agreed to be interviewed are Patriots, and without them, we could not have completed this book. Jack and I are just the conduit; everyone who shared their stories made writing this book for all people an amazing and rewarding experience.About the AuthorDennis Gravelle and Jack Young are forming a minor political party in South Carolina called the Independent Constitutional Party. They feel you must be the one to stand out in front and be a leader in politics, rather than sit and complain.Gravelle loves to golf, go on walks, going to the beach or watching a local band with a great friend Madeline.

    About the BookYou might say that the Psalms stand in the center of all scripture. For they speak of experiences, the very center of life itself. The Psalms beckon us to a rock-solid faith which will provide us the victories over life's troubles, even if we foist them upon ourselves. There are many of us who return to them repeatedly to hold fast to that which we have attained.Gordon D Fee and Douglas D Stuart categorized the Psalms for us in this way: Laments-we all go through tough times and we learn from these Psalms that we are not alone in our struggles, and that God is able to help and strengthen us. Thanksgiving Psalms, Hymns of Praise, and Salvation History Psalms have elements of praise which elevates our understanding of God's faithfulness, protection, and benefit. Eight Wisdom Psalms and ten Psalms of Trust promise the reader of the goodness and care of God and provide us with the vision of a victorious life.Ultimately, the Psalms are intentional, their vital purpose is to forge a connection between the worshiper and God, whether in a cathedral or prayer cell. For generation after generation, mankind has sung and prayed the Psalms.About the AuthorLt-Colonel Norman H Voisey completed 40 years of service in The Salvation Army where he was a Trustee, having served also in that capacity for three of their hospitals.
