Comments for Alchemical Weddings

Comment on The Daemon by John

Dear Ms. Cowell,

I couldn’t find a way to send you an email, and I’m not on social media, so I’m using this comments field to thank you for translating and publishing the works of Vladimir Shmakov and G.O.M. It is a truly titanic achievement, and I can see clearly that it was a labor of love. Without you, these books would have remained closed to the English-speaking world.

I’ve just started The Holy Book of Thoth and already I feel that I am in the presence of a highly unusual and penetrating mind. Shmakov’s melding of Tarot, hermeticism, Kabbalah, Vedanta, relativistic physics, and calculus is absolutely distinctive and fascinating. I hope that as a result of Shin Publications’ efforts, he will be recognized not only within the ever-growing Tarot world but also by scholars of intellectual history, culture, and arts.

I should add that the graphic-design and production aspects of your books are very pleasing.

Finally, one small point, if you don’t mind: You may already be aware of this, but the Hebrew and Aramaic quotations in Shmakov’s book are for the most part spelled backward. If you ever do a reprint, would you be able to reset that type?

Please let me know if you’ve read this, because I really am not sure if the blog comments box is a valid way to communicate with you!

Very best regards,
John Dorfman
Newton, Massachusetts, U.S.A.

I have a large heavy wall plaque with this same image of Persus with the exception that mine has a lower section showing his shoulders showing his armor or breastplate with the head of the Medusa on the lower front section. Where does your image come from and do you also have a lower sectional image.

Above all things the soul wants are freedom, love and creation

Hi there. I wonder if you’d be interested in my new alternate history novel, “Payback” (Hit on Hitler). It was published by Moonshine Cove on 21 October 2016.

In a world trembling on the brink of war the death of one man could change history. What if the Mafia and FBI joined forces to assassinate Hitler in 1938? The gangster Bugsy Siegel and an agent to control his volatile nature go to Italy on a mission to kill him.

Payback is available in both paperback and Kindle editions and can be purchased from Amazon.

Comments on Payback by other published authors include:
“a first-rate thriller – keeps the heart racing to the very last page” – James Thayer, author of S-Day;

“A great read with an amazing plot that kept me always wanting more” – David Avoura King, author of Hitler Out of Time;

“Strong characters, excellent research and surprising twists and turns” – Sandra Saidak, author of From the Ashes;

“A great novel of what might have been” – Ian Hall, author of the Avenging Steel series;

“Gangsters and Hitler – what could go wrong? Read Payback to find out” – James R Benn, author of Rag and Bone;

“one of the most original ‘what if?’ novels since Fatherland” – Kim Kinrade, author of Rockets of the Reich

ISBN numbers for the paperback are: • ISBN-10: 1945181001 and • ISBN-13: 978-1945181006 and ASIN numbers for the Kindle are: ASIN: B01MFABT1Q

Payback has 268 pages and the price is $13.99 for the paperback edition $5.99 for the Kindle.

Comment on A dream beyond our reaching by Rick

Thanks for posting this fruit from another tree ! Reminds me of Adriana Koulias -check out her blog if you don’t know it – here is an extract.

The Alchemy of true love
Is:
Allowing another
To write their story in our hearts
So that we can read it there
Again,
As if it were our own.

The Alchemy of true Selflessness
Is:
To write the story in our hearts
Inside the heart of the world
So that we can read it there
For the first time,
As if it were not ours

Happy New Year Rick! The writings you mention sounds very interesting, I shall take a look – an area of Steiner’s work I’m not familiar with (one of many, there is so much!)

i just came across by chance to these words from the wonderful book of Mark Hedsel. Uncountable times i have been in Chartres, in the ‘weekend’ in front of the fachade nord, in La Sacra di San Michele, this winter in Ferrara… Charlotte, thanks. Mark, thanks. Whereer you are, i have struggled successfully to honour you and help those spanish speaking who can be guided as mcuh as i was, to publish in spanish your book, with a changed title since in spanish was meaningless, now it is called El Camino del Loco, i know you would love. You arrived in my life in the equator of my Nigredo, reading about yours alloeed me to understand what was going on and grow.

Thanks for this wonderful quote from the Anonymous Author and New Year greetings ! Rudolf Steiner, in my view, gives some really helpful advice on exercises for contacting those who have passed over , and the conditions and actions which influence and allow contact between the living and the dead. See “overcoming the Abyss” Stuttgart Feb 20 1913, – get this free from the Rudolf Steiner Archive on the Web. Also, the book “Staying Connected” – How to Continue your relationships with those who have died.- Anthroposophic press compiles most of the talks and meditations from RS on this area.
