Saving the Seasons: How to Can, Freeze, or Dry Almost Anything by Mary Clemens Meyer

Margie, January 17, 2013

I am always very interested in new and old recipes for preserving food and this book gives some good ones to try. Like canning your own apple pie filling. Yum!!! If you want to become more self-sufficient and are growing a garden, then canning, freezing, and drying your excess produce should be your next step.

Dreamgates: Exploring the Worlds of Soul, Imagination, and Life Beyond Death by Robert Moss

Margie, January 3, 2013

Ever since I was a child my dreams have been very vivid and I have kept a dream journal for years. I still remember dreams from when I was a child. Sometimes I would feel like I was in another world having wonderful adventures or sometimes watching aspects of myself intercting with people and animals. I did not know how right I was until I read this book. Many times I would read something in the book and think, so that is what such and such dream was all about! Or, that was the purpose of that dream. Or, so that was why I had that dream. And, yes, some were and are shamanic dreams, soul recovery dreams,psychologically and physically helpful dreams, etc. If you think you don't dream, think again. You just need to actively seek your dreams and sometimes go back into the dream to seek an answer. Journaling whatever you can remember is helpful but so is reading this book so you have some idea of application. Robert Moss is a good author with good suggestions for full participation in your dreams and helpful understanding. I highly recommend this book to those who seek to understand.

Dreaming the Soul Back Home: Shamanic Dreaming for Healing and Becoming Whole by Robert Moss

Margie, September 19, 2012

Are you tired and dragging? Do you suffer from depression or other mental or physical health problems? Have you suffered trauma (and who hasn't) in your long or short life? If so, you may have suffered soul loss, a part of yourself that runs and hides from the trauma suffered, whether it be emotional or physical. A shaman can seek to repair your soul sickness or you can do it yourself through conscious dreaming and sometimes spontaneously. The book Dreaming the Soul Back Home: Shamanic Dreaming for Healing and Becoming Whole explains well how you lose parts of your soul and how to find those parts and integrate them back into yourself for wholeness. This is the second of his books I have read and each contains exercises to promote understanding and speed the process. Always having been a strong dreamer and having recorded my dreams for years, much about Robert Moss' books resonate with me.

The Betrayal: The Lost Life of Jesus

Margie, September 5, 2012

You know how you pick up books at sales and set them aside until you find time to read? You don't?! I do only too well-just ask my husband as he sees me come in with yet another book. Anyway, this novel would probably be considered heresy, just as many thought The Davinci Code was heretical. However, The Betrayal actually uses the hiding of the lost gospels in various forms, and the efforts to destroy such works, as the premise around which the story is written. It is an engaging story and I like the use of footnotes which refer to the Notes section in the back of the book giving more information about that particular sentence, issue, occurrance, etc. People might say I am a conspiracy theorist, but I have felt since I was a child there was more to the story than written in the Bible and I am in awe of authors who can take such information and weave it into an informative tale. How much is their imagination and how much is universal knowledge imparted to them?
