Summary

In "Sermons of Meister Eckhart," the medieval mystic and theologian Meister Eckhart delivers a profound exploration of the relationship between the divine and the human soul. Drawing on rich theological insights and the contemplative tradition, Eckhart'Äôs sermons feature a unique blend of Scripture interpretation, philosophical discourse, and experiential spirituality. His literary style is marked by parables, metaphorical language, and a commitment to challenging conventional piety. This collection stands as a pivotal contribution to the mysticism of the late Middle Ages, touching upon themes of unity with God, the nature of existence, and the importance of personal transformation. Meister Eckhart, a Dominican friar and a prominent figure of German mysticism, lived during a time of significant theological development in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. His exposure to scholastic thought and his engagement with the spiritual questions of his era greatly influenced his writings. The tension between his innovative mystical ideas and the prevailing doctrines of the Church ultimately led to posthumous controversies surrounding his teachings, emphasizing his radical perspective on the inner life of faith. "Sermons of Meister Eckhart" is essential reading for anyone interested in mysticism, theology, and philosophical inquiry. By delving into his sermons, readers are invited to reflect on their spiritual journeys and gain insights into the deeper aspects of existence, making it a remarkable contribution to both historical and contemporary discussions of spirituality.

    The Wicca Handbook is both a tutorial for new witches and an exceptionally well-organized reference book for experienced practitioners. It guides us through the first steps in becoming a witch and explores many Wiccan traditions, initiations, and magical practices. The Wiccan year-the eight Sabbats-along with many of its rituals and ceremonies are examined. Holland also provides the background of every facet of witchcraft, such as spells for every occasion, psychic protection, numerology, basic astrology, and the lore of stones, metals, candles, animals, and much more.High Priestess Eileen Holland's helpful guide is rooted in practicality and intended as a working handbook, not a simple beginner's guide. The information is rich; clear directions are given, and its range of content is extensive. Spells, circles, crystals, and color magic, herbs, health, and healing are all covered with abundant direction on how to do it, when to do it, and suggestions for seeking guidance from the deities. Those who have been on their path for a few years will find this a great reference book to refer to time and again.

Volume 18 includes 5 sermons that Owen delivered at a time of civil war, addressing matters such as providence and toleration.

Cowan, this volume also includes outlines, footnotes, and other supporting resources.
