This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 licenseThis book explores the magical and medical history of executions from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century by looking at the afterlife potency of criminal corpses, the healing activities of the executioner, and the magic of the gallows site. The use of corpses in medicine and magic has been recorded back into antiquity. The lacerated bodies of Roman gladiators were used as a source of curative blood, for instance. In early modern Europe, a great trade opened up in ancient Egyptian mummies and the fat of executed criminals, plundered as medicinal cure-alls. However, this is the first book to consider the demand for the blood of the executed, the desire for human fat, the resort to the hanged man’s hand, and the trade in hanging rope in the modern era. It ends by look at the spiritual afterlife of dead criminals.

Sombra escrita recopila lo mejor del panorama lírico actual de Italia. Una selección cuidadosa que tiende puentes entre autoras consagradas y voces nuevas y, sobre todo, entre las poetas italianas y las lectoras hispanohablantes.Esta antología es, en palabras de Stefano Strazzabosco, una fotografía de la poesía italiana actual, «la mejor que pude capturar». Una mirada amplia en cuanto a las generaciones, las temáticas y la riqueza lingüística de lo que las poetas italianas dicen a día de hoy.Sombra escrita es, además, la novena entrega de las Sombras, un proyecto que Vaso Roto comenzó en 2017 y bajo el que publica colecciones de poesía contemporánea, siempre escrita por mujeres, siempre firmada por diecisiete autoras, cada vez de un país distinto, y siempre con la misma vocación: poner el foco en las voces de las poetas, sacar a la luz aquello que durante tanto tiempo ha estado condenado a permanecer en la sombra.

Who are shamans? What do they do? Healers. Masters of secret and sacred elements. But do we really know their stories? We hear about them from researchers, poets, ecologists and spiritualists, during an era in which re-establishing a conscious contact with our world is essential. This 50 card oracle deck depicts real Shamans (both famous and lesser known), sacred plants, animals, and the places that inspire them – all explained in an accompanying full coloured booklet.

Each tarot card is an invitation to explore a new world, and perspective. In this deck the reader not only explores 78 Rider Waite Smith tarot cards, but also the evocative landscapes they each inhabit. Dream and fantasy surround every Arcanum with more parallels to our everyday life than we can imagine. The RWS deck is complemented by a comprehensive manual providing guidance for tarot readers, old and new, as well as instructions for how to read the Tarot Landscapes.

Discover the sacred wisdom of 50 animals through this unique divination package of 50 cards and a 112-page book.From our earliest beginnings, animals have been a significant part of our lives. They help us, inspire us, sometimes frighten us, but also protect us.

Through symbolism and folklore, the cards present the ancestral wisdom of animals and how they can guide us today.This dynamic package includes a 122-page book that describes the origin of each animal's sacred nature along with a chart that lists its element, where it lives, zoological information, symbols associated with it, and a brief charm to ask the animal for advice or guidance.
