She is a young drakon of untried powers. He is the powerful second son of the alpha male from their clan of shapeshifting, supersensational beings. And what she is about to attempt will violate every taboo and break every law that bind the drakon together-and just may save them from destruction.
A mere seamstress's daughter, Zoe Cyprienne Lane isn't even in the same league as Lord Rhys Langford. Nothing could be more shocking than the notion that she'd set out to find her childhood friend and first true love. But when news arrives in the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania that Rhys is being held captive, That's just what she does. Guided by her own hidden gifts and her psychic link to Rhys-his presence and touch as electric as if he were beside her in the flesh-Zoe is his last lifeline to a world and a passion he thought he'd never regain. Only reunited, hunter and huntress, can they save the drakon from those who would destroy them all. [more]

Occultism is not magic. It is comparatively easy to learn the trick of spells and the methods of using the subtler, but still material, forces of physical nature; the powers of the animal soul in man are soon awakened; the forces which his love, his hate, his passion, can call into operation, are readily developed. But this is Black Magic — Sorcery. For it is the motive, and the motive alone, which makes any exercise of power become black, malignant, or white, beneficent Magic. It is impossible to employ spiritual forces if there is the slightest tinge of selfishness remaining in the operator. For, unless the intention is entirely unalloyed, the spiritual will transform itself into the psychic, act on the astral plane, and dire results may be produced by it. The powers and forces of animal nature can equally be used by the selfish and revengeful, as by the unselfish and the all-forgiving; the powers and forces of spirit lend themselves only to the perfectly pure in heart — and this is DIVINE MAGIC.

- 12536 Words
- Ages 16 and up

WARNING – This book is contagious. The author was suffering from the Thought-Plague when she wrote it. It’s a satirical Kafkaesque critique of the mental health system in the U.K. set in a parallel science-fiction future. The book is based on the author’s surreal-life experiences in a parallel world in which a permanent state of dissociation is the norm.
“IF YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE, DON’T SMOKE TOO MUCH, DON’T DRINK TOO MUCH AND DON’T THINK TOO MUCH. TO AVOID ANOTHER THOUGHT PLAGUE EPIDEMIC, PLEASE REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS OVER-THINKING IMMEDIATLEY.”
“Someone must have reported Kay Joseph. She knew that she was of no immediate danger to herself or others, but, one morning, she was WARPED under section 22.5(b) of Psyberia’s National Wellbeing and Recovery Protocol, (WARP).
When Psyberia was established as a quarantine and processing island, the elite High Permaniacs in the southern Altered States of Mania created the ‘Psyber Skin’, an anti-viral nano-tech psychic defence barrier around Psyberia’s borders. On the 7.30am news this morning, Kay heard more reports of violence erupting through the ‘Psyber Skin’. The Transylmaniacs had invaded through The Skin and were now penetrating the minds of the higher functioning Psyberians. Psyber Skin Hackers and Psy-Kick Investigators, like Kay’s friend Adam, were particularly prone to Psy-Kick attack, as were users of Cat-A-Tonic.
Being possessed or Psy-Kickally attacked wasn’t Kay’s worst fear. Her worst fear was that this had already happened to her and that it was in some way connected to ‘the treatment’. She felt that more and more, each day, the life was slowly getting sucked out of her and she was being drained to death. She didn’t know what would happen if she was Psy-Kicked. Would she end up back in virtual hospital or would she end up killing herself like Adam did?” [more]

The Beginner's Guide to Starseeds
Unlock the Power of the Universe, Your Inner Potential, and Discover the Power of Starseeds

Discover your Devine potential with this Guide
Have you ever felt like you didn’t quite fit in with the rest of the world?
Are you looking for something more profound, something that can explain why you feel you’re different?
If so, with the help of this book....
You may be a Starseed.
Starseeds are souls that originated outside of our solar system, and who have incarnated on Earth to assist in humanity’s spiritual growth and evolution. They carry a rare spiritual energy that sets them apart from the rest of the population.
Starseeds are highly sensitive and intuitive, which means they can easily pick up on energy and emotions from the environment and people around them. They often feel out of place in the 3D world because of their heightened awareness and may find it difficult to adapt to the customs and rules of society.
Starseeds may have a hard time connecting with their emotions, which can lead to feeling isolated and alone. They may have difficulty expressing themselves and communicating with others, as they often feel like their thoughts and feelings don’t quite fit into the 3D world.
Starseeds are typically drawn to spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, and energy work, as these activities allow them to connect with higher vibrational energies that they can’t access in the 3D world. They may also have an affinity for metaphysical topics, such as psychic abilities, extraterrestrials, and otherworldly realms.
The Starseeds Guide for Beginners delves into the nature of starseeds, their origins, and the gifts and spiritual sensitivity that come naturally to them.
When you're done reading this detailed book, you won't have any more questions about whether you are Starseed.

The world, unknown to man, plays host to a variety of magical creatures. The most powerful of which are the Immortals: earthbound Angels and Demons. The Immortals have been at war since man was young, both sides bound and governed by a set of strict rules known as the Immortal laws.
Gabriel is an Immortal, lost into the world of man, completely ignorant to the magical world around him. Never knowing his real parents he is brought up by a hired nanny in the penthouse of one of London's most expensive hotels.
Gabriel and his sister get dragged into a bank robbery and as a result Gabriel is thrown head first into the magical world, catalyzing a string of bizarre capabilities Gabriel never knew he had- namely incredible healing and the ability to grow white feathered wings on demand. He comes to the realization that he is an Angel. The strange events surrounding Gabriel and Molly's survival of the bank robbery make him famous and so is brought to the attention of the Immortals. Unfortunately for Gabriel that means Demons too.
Barely escaping an attack from a scorned Demon and his Spawns, being arrested by an overly suspicious cop he is saved by the Angels, specifically his Aunt Bethany. Bethany takes Gabriel back to her home at 'The Institute' - an underground society of Angels, deep below London, dedicated to the eradication of Evil.
Gabriel is keen to help fight against The Institute's latest enemy. However, this is enemy is unlike any The Institute has seen before because this enemy is not a Demon, it is an Angel gone rogue. An Angel hell-bent on executing his own brand of law on those who he deems to have sinned. He does this through means of twisted and ironic games that he calls the Justice Games and after the Angel kidnaps a whole prison of convicts it seems he now has an unlimited amount of sinners to play with.
However, all is not as it appears as Gabriel finds out after his first mission with The Institute he the Immortal world, Demon and Angel alike, when an explosion that should have burnt Gabriel alive leaves no mark. This specifically Demon characteristic leaves Master Nevaeh, the head of The Institute, baffled.
A consultation with The Institute's most powerful, all be it mad, psychic raises even more questions. With all this uncertainly Master Nevaeh evicts Gabriel from the Institute.
Made into an outcast Gabriel is unsure what to do when he uncovers an elaborate plot made by the Demons. The rogue Angel is being manipulated, the end game that he will unknowingly break the most important Immortal Law: An Immortal can't murder and Innocent. If broken by an Angel, the Law dictates that Lucifer can freely enter Earth.
After The Institute is blown up, trapping every Angel miles below London Gabriel realizes that there was more reason behind his eviction than it had appeared and now it is up to Gabriel to use his unique gifts to track down a dark lost relic that prophecy states is the only way to save the world.

Black Magic, in the path of necromancy is an attempt to recognize knowledge and influence of rituals, symbols, actions, gestures, speech and speech communications, those influences on the destiny and health of the victim. Generally magicians believe that dark magic is an exercise in isolation and secrecy to have personal spiritual growth. They state that usage of black magic has been sustained since the earliest human cultures and deliver a significant spiritual, religious and medicinal use in many civilizations. They further added that theory of black magic is a fact which can produce a result somewhere else, cooperation with the evil spirits those causes the adverse effects and black magic is a scheme of knowledge used for adverse actions within societies.
Generally, magic is divided into different categories. Here is the magic used by the wizards of today and there is black magic practiced by witchcrafts and wizards now a days and of ancient time.
All of today's magicians will readily acknowledge that they are simply practicing the art of misrepresentation and illusion.
Even the world's greatest magicians, those can make the statue of liberty disappear in front of masses eyes or cut a person in half and put him back together again readily acknowledged that they just deceive the masses and the stunt is based on some clued-up deception.
However, witchcrafts and wizards of black magic claims except that in reality they can change or defy the legal philosophies of nature and can compose and arrange the supernatural phenomena turn out. They assert they can bend spoons immediately by attending at them or can speak to dead bodies and have psychic abilities to read people's minds to know their past and can predict about their prospects. Hence, far, all those have claimed to be able to use incantations to talk dead or other occult means to reach the unimaginable happen, have all been shown to be frauds and humbugs.
Wizards and Witches of different eras claims, these powers actually exist and attainable by the worship of devils. Many Foundations in the world offers over a million-dollar reward for anyone that can prove any paranormal abilities. Thus far, many have sampled, only there have yet been no takers…
Magical language falls into the category of mythology because it is emotive and converted into words, of symbols for emotions and possible source of the supernatural power, words using for symbols are their secrecy and exclusivity. It is incomprehensible to the bulk of the population and it can only be applied and interpreted by specialized practitioners The possession of magical language alone may be deficient to accept a force of black magic, it needs completion of black rituals to function the black magic with certain aims.

A Position Of Wellness by Heather McLaughlin

It is good to reach out when you are in need. Sometimes it is therapeutic to take walks and to read about mental illness to keep you structured, and giving yourself valid, logical reasons why you can move on from different situations and events, will make you realize there is something in your life that is coming. Whether your belief is that God will provide, or whether the belief is that your premonition, scientifically through being supersticious or even taking advice from a psychic has lent to you the world of discovery about yourself, this ebook should be able to clarify the choices you can make day by day that would steer you in the right direction. Inside you'll find the words "wealthy, wise, and whole" in more than one Chapter. The chapters are not long and drawn out because one does not have that much time to sit and read, and might be overwhelmed because it is more than just a couple hundred words. It can be pretty intimidating to one who does not possess the ability to read for long lengths.
If you can imagine for a second that life is worthwhile, if you can follow positive examples of situations that can help you to decide which is better, to be motivated and to not beat yourself up, or to dwell in it until no return. Life is worth living, and although we are in a country where the freedom is in business, there is still the love and rich capacity of strength through listening to others that can let your soul have the freedom to share the methods that get your through.
This ebook is not considered therapeutic, however, with so much experience behind the scenes inside the system of mental health, I have received certificates of participation, and certificate of passing the program, and that's what it is in life, you've got to pass every hurdle and obstacle and challenge that you face. You could be afraid of spiders one day when you were younger, but now you see them differently and you're not so afraid, as an example.
If you have ever experienced depression or low self esteem, this ebook will most likely help you to build the coping skills needed to figure out the best possibilities for your wellness.
One thing I think I am allowed to say because of wisdom and my age, is that when you go to a person for help, that stays consistent.
The point is there is love for the self that maybe you haven't yet realized, so now is the time to try.

The amazing story of one woman and the animals that changed her life forever

This is a true story that I wrote from the bottom of my heart. I had a wonderful childhood until my father decided to have an affair with another woman. Our entire family was in shambles…not to mention how heartbroken I was because I was a daddy’s girl. We finally had to move to the projects because that was all my mother could afford. Talk about going from riches to rags. I remember crying myself to sleep every night. I started hanging around with the wrong type of people and getting into a lot of trouble, eventually doing time in a state penitentiary. I was calling out for love, I really was not a bad person, in fact, I was always quiet and shy.
Life can be a hard journey. I did not have much of a childhood, or perhaps I've
blocked a lot from my memory. But by the age of fifteen I was all grown up. I
had to make decisions for myself; admittedly, some were not very good. Looking back, it didn't take all that long before I came to the end of my rope, but once I got there I
turned around. I grabbed on as tight as I could, and soon I was pulling myself up,
one grip at a time. And I've made a lot of changes in my life since then, mostly to
make it a better one.
The first time that I rubbed my nose against a tiny fawn‘s nose, it changed me forever.
Looking back, I wish I might have been a little smarter concerning my career
choice because I would have loved to be a veterinarian. But life can throw you
curves, and I've learned to make the best of every day. And the day I held that
warm, soft Guinea pig in my arms made me feel happier than I'd ever been. Happy
deep down inside where it matters the most.
The day eight years ago when we bought our “ranch”, I realized just how much
I loved animals—all kinds of animals—and how much it meant for me to have
them around me. I developed a piece of raw land into a working ranch and it
was a lot of hard work, pulling weeds, putting in a fence line, and building pens
for the animals we purchased from a local auction. And it was worth it, because,
as I said, I love all animals of every kind, each with its own special interests and
personality. I can spend endless hours just relaxing and watching them run and
play with one another. We have thirty-seven animals on the ranch right now, and I
love each and every one with all my heart. Most of them were adopted, saved from
horrible situations, and still need lots of love and attention. Eventually, living with
us, they come around and forget their past lives of neglect and abuse. Our animals
live their entire lives on our ranch. They live to be very old and die of natural
causes—the way it’s meant to be.
This heartwarming story pays tribute to my lasting love affair with animals small and large. Over the years, I have adopted abused, neglected, or unwanted animals and cared for them on my Florida ranch. I developed a set of beliefs about the human relationship with animals, and I have come to realize that each creature has a distinct personality, a warm heart, passion and even a sense of humor. I operate on the firm belief that every animal, whether an unfriendly cat, lame pig, or a blind cow, needs to love and be loved.
I was a pure-bred city girl, until I discovered how animals could soothe my soul and enhance my life. Since then, I have made it my mission to provide shelter and love for animals of all kinds, including cats, dogs, pigs and even cows.
I believe that every animal has a right to live—and live well. I respect their
wishes and they respect mine in return. It is out of this deep respect that I say that
animals are not toys; they have feelings and hearts beating inside them just the
way we do. And it is from animals that we receive unconditional love.
I know, because it is their love, total and unconditional, that changed my life
forever.
Thank you for your precious time.

Reviewed By Cary Merriman
Official Apex Reviews Rating:
The path of Melanie Higgins Zysk’s journey through life is the very
definition of “circuitous”…
After her parents divorce when she’s just a little girl, Zysk, her mother, and
her brothers are thrust directly into the veritable teeth of adversity. After suffering
a horrendous accident that takes her friend’s life and nearly claims hers, she
decides to live life to the fullest and strikes out on her own into the dangerous, yet
exciting world that surrounds her. Along the way, she becomes a teenage bride,
spends time as “Miss Keystone” (a NASCAR trophy girl), and even does a 10-
month bid in the Pennsylvania state pen – for a crime she didn't even realize she
committed.
A quick study in learning the discipline of self-reliance, though, Zysk
eventually becomes quite adept at following the desires of her heart, which
ultimately lead her to start a rescue ranch for animals that have been abused,
abandoned, or otherwise left to fend for themselves. It is in launching the ranch
that Zysk finds her true calling, one that has lingered quietly, yet fervently within
her entire life: sharing the unconditional love of her selfless heart with those
who truly need it.
Unconditional Love is an intriguing study of a life lived on quite a far reaching
arc, but what’s most endearing about Zysk’s life story is the salient way
that her warm-hearted nature shines throughout. From the time that she is very
young, she always wishes for the best for others and sacrifices constantly for the
benefit of those around her. Of course, this selflessness is most apparent in her
undying affection for and dedication to her ever-growing family of furry friends,
whose lives would be devoid of considerable comfort and enrichment were it not
for Zysk’s faithful devotion.
Life is destined to throw obstacles in our paths, but what matters most is
how we choose to negotiate them along the way. In Unconditional Love,
Melanie Higgins Zysk provides the reader with the perfect example of how to turn
any adverse situation on its ear by focusing on the blessings hidden deep within.
