They are not human.They are inter-dimensional beings who came from an otherworldly holy place called Sion.They crossed a forbidden barrier, transformed or morphed into human form and freely mingled with humans.They intervened in human affairs.They created a hybrid race with humans.They taught the art of building temple-portals with massive stones and the secret of transforming humans into angels or inter-dimensional beings.They were punished as dangerous and subversive and labeled as fallen.God sent a cataclysm to destroy them and their offspring.Their temple-portals were disabled or destroyed.Their teachings were declared heresy, forbidden.They are the Watchers, the holiest race of alien beings.We’ve been warned to stay away from them.Most have.We, however, will break through the barrier.In this revolutionary exploration of the Watchers, the Angels of the Lord or the Holy Ones, we learn the story of the Watchers is the product of one of the greatest spiritual and literary revolutions the world has ever seen. It began during the 3rd century B.C. when a wave of apocalyptic Essene writings swept the Mediterranean world and came to fruition at the time of Jesus. From this epoch emerged a new hero, Enoch, ‘the Translated Man’, who was transformed into a being of light and joined the Watchers in heaven. The mystic secrets of ascension the Watchers gave Enoch have been sought for centuries. They were known and used by Jesus. In this thorough study, these secrets are considered, if not revealed.In this heavily illustrated study, William proposes that the Watchers are Seraphim (“winged serpent” angels who are Type III beings on the Kardashev Scale of civilizations and have advanced, non-physical Rainbow Bodies of Light. They correspond to the Seven Rayed Naga “rainbow serpents of wisdom” of Buddhist tradition and the seven fish-cloaked Apkallu sages of Mesopotamia.We explore the literary and historical evidence that the Watchers possess the secret of human transformation into angels. They came to earth on a mission to instruct humans in this transformation. Their teachings became the basis for the Christian concepts of ascension, resurrection and perfection.This study changes the traditional perception of the Watchers and puts us on the true path to discovering their secrets.Can souls return to their Source (God’s Throne)?Can a human transform into an angel or become equal to an angel? Are we all fallen angels/aliens?Can a human ascend to godhood? Can any one learn to do this on their own? If so, what skills are required?Is a direct connection with God possible?If so, who initiates this encounter? Does God?Or, can a human take it upon them self to ‘call’ God?Is there a cosmic conduit linking earth with Sion?Can humans achieve perfection?The Watchers addresses these questions and more.

A beautiful hardback edition.TARKA THE OTTER is the classic story of an otter living in the Devonshire countryside which captures the feel of life in the wild as seen through the otter's own eyes. The story's atmosphere and detail make it easy to see why Tarka has become one of the best-loved creatures in world literature.Henry William Williamson was born in 1895 in Brockley, south-east London. The then semi-rural location provided easy access to the countryside, and he developed a deep love of nature throughout his childhood. He became a prolific author known for his natural and social history novels. He won the Hawthornden Prize for literatrure in 1928 for Tarka the Otter.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact.

First published in 1885, "The Purple Land" is a novel by Argentinian naturalist and author William Henry Hudson. It tells the story of a young Englishman called Richard Lamb who elopes with a teenage Argentinian girl to Uruguay. Once there, Lamb sets off to find work, but instead finds himself at the centre of an epic adventure. This exciting and beautifully-written page-turner is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Hudson's wonderful work, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. William Henry Hudson (1841 - 1922) was an Argentinian naturalist, author, and ornithologist. He was one of the founding members of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and is best known for his novel "Green Mansions" (1904). Other notable works include "A Crystal Age" (1887) and "Far Away and Long Ago" (1918), which has since been adapted into a film. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

William Henry Hudson was a true child of South America, born in Argentina in 1841. His parents had emigrated from the USA to begin sheep farming, and the young William grew up herding stock with local 'gauchos', the freedom-loving cowboys of the pampas, and studying the wildlife of the area. He also began writing, both for scientific journals, and increasingly, books containing his own thoughts and ideas on a wide variety of subjects. 'The Purple Land' is William Hudson's exuberant first novel. Set in the turbulent political times of Uruguay's birth, it tells the tale of European adventurer Richard Lamb, who elopes with the lovely Paquita, thereby earning the undying enmity of her powerful father. Desperate to support his wife, he sets off on a series of increasingly wild adventures that includes horse-stealing, a fight to the death, imprisonment and escape - and culminates in a pitched battle between the two main political parties, 'Whites' and 'Reds', with our hero unfortunately picking the losing side. In between, Richard manages to win the hearts of at least three Latin beauties, all of whom further complicate his already convoluted existence. But 'The Purple Land' is far more than a simple adventure story. Constructed as an early form of 'road novel', Hudson fills its pages with intimate sketches of the people and the customs of mid-nineteenth century pampas life, colourful vignettes set among his masterful depiction of the region's wildlife and its matchless natural beauty.

This volume was published in 1921.Excerpts from the Foreword:THE TENDERFOOT The impressions that greet the tenderfoot upon his arrival in the American Southwest crowd each other in rapid succession. One of the first convictions to sink into his mind, and perhaps one that never leaves it, is that its denizens are as friendly a people as are to be found upon the face of the earth. The true native will share al- most anything with him especially his climate, his dinner, his debts and his favorite story. Naturally the Southwest flaunts much that is strange and unfamiliar. The newcomer asks many questions; the Arizonan, Texan or New Mexican is more than glad to answer them. He answers some questions before they are asked. Usually after about the third day the tenderfoot's thoughts crystalize into some such formula as follows : "If a native tells you anything, it's a lie." A week later he changes it. "If the story sounds like the truth, it undoubtedly is a lie; but if it sounds like a lie, it may be true." However, along toward the end of the month, the man from Elsewhere, if he is of the elect, begins to have his ears quickened by the real heart-beat of the West, and is ready to accept that article in the creed of the Hassayamper averring that sometimes the hyperbole of the ra- conteur may contain more truth, which after all is often only relative, than the exact numerals of the statistician.THE HASSAYAMPER But perhaps exactly what a Hassayamper may be needs explanation. Just as the gold-seekers of California were called "Forty-niners" and the pioneers of the Yukon are "Sourdoughs," so those hardy souls who came to the deserts and mountains of the Southwest when one still trav- eled in stage coaches, when flour and bacon and beans were brought overland in sixteen-mule freight wagons, when national banks were scarce and faro banks were plentiful, when springs of amber-colored fluid gushed perennially at such moist oases as the "Palace" or "Congress Hall" these were the Hassayampers. Now be it known that the Hassayampa is a river, sparkling, beautiful and picturesque in its upper reaches in the pine-covered mountains of Yavapai, but later losing both sparkle and char- acter in flat, torrid sands of the desert south- ward where it joins the Gila. In the early days painted savages fought many a battle along its bed, Spanish friars used its crystal drops in holy baptism and miners drew from its depths water for their arrastras; and from then until now, along its banks, men have toiled and quarreled, gambled and loved.In time legends were born about the mystical qualities of its waters. Some say that he who drinks above the ford can never tell a lie, while the antithesis of this is true of one who drinks below. Others turn the saying around, only notwo will agree upon which is the proper ford! The legend, though, that has the sound verifi- cation of time as well as the sanction of antiquity- is that any one who drinks from any place along the river will never know either the extremes of poverty or riches, in thought will always be the most incorrigible of optimists, in speech the most graceful of romanticists, and should he ever be so unfortunate as to leave Arizona, he will always come back.THE YARNS The following yarns have been collected from many sources. To get the true flavor, imagine them told in golden sunshine on a winter after- noon by some ancient Uncle Noah in an old-time Tucson, Phoenix or Albuquerque corral where stages stopped, where freighters rested their stock between trips and where, on Sunday after- noons, a young man could rent a shining "side- bar" runabout from "Back East" to take his best girl buggy riding. Others of the yarns were doubtless first related around a camp-fire at night, at the spring round-up, at a chance meet- ing of a couple of prospectors or on a hunting expedition.

In the wild there is no safety. The otter cub Tarka grows up with his mother and sisters, learning to swim, catch fish - and to fear the cry of the hunter and the flash of the metal trap. Soon he must fend for himself, travelling through rivers, woods, moors, ponds and out to sea, sometimes with the female otters White-tip and Greymuzzle, always on the run. Eventually, chased by a pack of hounds, he meets his nemesis, the fearsome dog Deadlock, and must fight for his life.
