The difference between the witch and the layperson is that witches already know they are powerful. The layperson may only suspect.

Edgy and often deeply personal, the twenty-one essays collected here come from a wide variety of writers. Some identify as witches, others identify as writers, musicians, game developers, or artists. What they have in common is that they've created personal rituals to summon their own power in a world that would prefer them powerless. Here, they share the rituals they use to resist self-doubt, grief, and depression in the face of sexism, slut shamin...

Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces

By: Balko, Radley

Price: $17.99

Seller ID: 393394

ISBN: 1610394577

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: New

The last days of colonialism taught America's revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But according to investigative reporter Radley Balko, over the last several decades, America's cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other-an enemy.
Today's armored-up policemen ...

Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns.

This is a resolutely materialist "spirituality" based equally on science and s...
