The Druids revered animals as sacred guides, guardians, and protectors. This beautifully illustrated deck and accompanying booklet draws from the wellspring of ancient Celtic tradition, bringing healing and offering intuitive knowledge. From the interpretations of the card spreads and the lore given, one will gain powerful insights and receive positive guidance for the future. The cards have been drawn using the principles of sacred geometry, a science of great importance to the megalith-building, pre-Celtic Druids, who employed it extensively in the building of stone circles. Each image incorporates the same use of a pentagram, circle and square. The border of the animal cards conveys a message in Ogham--the tree language of the Druids. The animals are presented in a sequence starting with the Blackbird, who stands at the Gateway, the Place of Beginnings, calling us to adventure and change. Journeying to the four other Oldest Animals of Stag, Owl, Eagle, and Salmon, we come to know animals that lead us deeper into the Otherworld, through a cycle of personal change that leads to turning to the outer world again, the empowerment of the four dragons and the concluding card of the Seal--the card of love and the necessity for choice in a world that is both joyous and challenging. The text presents a summary of the Druid, Celtic and native teachings, concerning twenty-nine animals and four dragons. In addition, there are three blank cards that can be used to draw animals that are personal to the reader. Use the cards as totems or turn to the oracle system provided by the authors. In either case, these Druid animals can provide positive guidance and insights into the inner dynamics behind events in our lives

The Amazing Adventure, Discovering the New Me! is a Bible story curriculum that gives children an overview of the entire Bible. The lessons are designed to follow the chronological progression from the Old Testament to the New Testament with 31 adventure-filled stories, based on the lives of twenty Bible characters. Children will see how each character has a place in God's unfolding story, and how each one of us fits into God's ultimate plan. The Amazing Adventure lays a solid grace-based foundation to help children understand what God's Word says about their identity in Christ. • The artwork and full-color design grabs the children's attention. • The Bible stories are written in the first person, which helps to keep the children engaged until the end of the story. • At the end of each story, there are activities that lead children to make a personal application in their own lives, based on that day's story. • A heart response prayer is included after each Bible story that helps children to personally connect to the story. • The last response question in each episode asks the children to draw a picture that describes the story-and there's plenty of room on the page. This is a tangible way to cement the biblical truth they've just heard. • There's a Bible verse at the end of each lesson, which can be used as a memory verse. • Children who are doing these lessons on their own can check their work by comparing their answers to the answers provided in the back of the book.

Bacon’s most intimate friends, and correspondents seem to have been all either Rosicrucians, Freemasons or Illuminati, as, in Italy and parts of Germany, they were some times called. Their names continually appear in connection with the works produced under the auspices of these societies; their portraits often include the recognised marks of distinction; their very graves comply with the rules of the section of the society to which they belonged. It is not concluded, from the evidence which has been collected, that Bacon originated secret societies, or that there were no religious fraternities or trade guilds, before his time, possessing secrets which they kept for mutual help and protection. On the contrary, all evidence goes to show that such institutions did exist, in a rude and inefficient condition; that in all probability Sir Nicolas Bacon and others had conceived a thought of attempting to consolidate or erect some such society, for the purpose of reviving learning, and of promoting unity in religion. But it remained for the genius, energy, and untiring devotion of Francis Bacon to accomplish these things, and he seems to have been peculiarly educated for the purpose. The Rosicrucians and the Freemasons speak in their books of the necessity for a “univesal language’’. This language is to be partly by sings, but also largely by symbols or emblems. It is the language of the “Renaissance’’. A collation of passages shows that all the metaphors, similes, and emblems of the Rosicrucians and Masons, and all of the works which we connect with them, are included in the works of Bacon. The greater contains the less, and the language is his. No one has since improved upon it, although many have paraphrased and diluted his words, as well as his original thoughts.

THIS book is intended to place before the reader in a handy form an account of the principal ideas and beliefs held by the ancient Egyptians concerning the resurrection and the future life, which is derived wholly from native religious works. The literature of Egypt which deals with these subjects is large and, as was to be expected, the product of different periods which, taken together, cover several thousands of years; and it is exceedingly difficult at times to reconcile the statements and beliefs of a writer of one period with those of a writer of another. Up to the present no systematic account of the doctrine of the resurrection and of the future life has been discovered, and there is no reason for hoping that such a thing will ever be found, for the Egyptians do not appear to have thought that it was necessary to write a work of the kind. The inherent difficulty of the subject, and the natural impossibility that different men living in different places and at different times should think alike on matters which must, after all, belong always to the region of faith, render it more than probable that no college of priests, however powerful, was able to formulate a system of beliefs which would be received throughout Egypt by the clergy and the laity alike, and would be copied by the scribes as a final and authoritative work on Egyptian eschatology. Besides this, the genius and structure of the Egyptian language are such as to preclude the possibility of composing in it works of a philosophical or metaphysical character in the true sense of the words. In spite of these difficulties, however, it is possible to collect a great deal of important information on the subject from the funereal and religious works which have come down to us, especially concerning the great central idea of immortality, which existed unchanged for thousands of years, and formed the pivot upon which the religious and social life of the ancient Egyptians actually turned.
