May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.The history of Irish blessings can be traced back to the early Celtic culture of Ireland, a culture rich in oral tradition and storytelling, and blessings and expressions of good wishes, kindness and positivity were a common part of daily life. These blessings were passed down from generation to generation, preserving the spiritual heritage of the Irish people. Over time, they became an integral part of the Irish cultural identity, and they were brought to other parts of the world by Irish immigrants.Today, Irish blessings continue to be a popular part of the cultural heritage of Ireland and to those with Irish ancestors who travelled and settled overseas and are used in a wide range of contexts, from religious services and weddings to everyday greetings and expressions of good wishes.Filled with heart-warming words of hope and comfort, The Little Book of Irish Blessings is the perfect companion or gift for anyone seeking a touch of Irish magic in their life.May you always have a rainbow of hope in your heart, and may the sun always shine on your face.May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on ...

A fierce and inspirational guide to Black resistance, resilience, and healing, using the principles of Afro-Indigenous spiritual practicesUnderstanding where you came from is crucial to understand where you are going.The Five Blessings of Ifá explores how Black communities across the diaspora draw strength from ancestral wisdom, family, community care, and mutual aid, using the principles of Ifá—a West African spiritual tradition—as a guiding framework. Activist Gabby Felder provides a blueprint for living a more fulfilled and abundant life through the blessings of Ire Aiku (longevity), Aje (wealth), Aya and Oko (relationships), Omo (children), and Isegun (victory over negative forces), providing practical examples of how Black folks have built resilience and learned to thrive in the face of oppression. Longevity exists in ancestral traditions that we cultivate over generations, which Felder explores through practices of traditional herbalism as well as contemporary sustainability and food sovereignty movements.Wealth, in Felder’s interpretation, has to do with the richness created by community, including cultural traditions of food, dance, and music that connect seemingly disparate African diasporic cultures.Partnership, traditionally understood in Ifá as husband and wife, is reconsidered by Felder to include a wide variety of relationship structures, including familial bonds and queer families.To explore the ...

Nahlédněte do tajemného světa sedmi židovských járcajtů (výročí smrti) objektivem fotografa Jindřicha Buxbauma. Texty Daniela Soukupa si můžete přečíst v češtině i angličtině. Obrazová publikace Sedmero požehnání má být průzorem do světa, který je současnému člověku vzdálený a málo známý. Má mu poskytnout obraz komunity, která si střeží svůj poklad především ve svých srdcích, a který probleskuje i v přítomných černobílých fotografiích. Název knihy odkazuje k rituálu Sedmi požehnání (ševa berachot), která jsou recitována během židovského svatebního obřadu. Setkání tradičních Židů nejrůznějších směrů u hrobů významných učenců, rabínů a cadiků, o nichž vypráví doprovodné texty Daniela Soukupa, je totiž svého druhu mystickým zasnoubením, při němž se spojují duše tohoto světa se světem příštím. Každý ze sedmi rabínských járcajtů (výročí smrti) zachycených objektivem fotoaparátu Jindřicha Buxbauma je zároveň příběhem sedmi významných duchovních vůdců, kteří jsou pro židovské společenství trvalým požehnáním. Texty Daniela Soukupa si můžete přečíst v češtině i angličtině. The photo book Seven Blessings is intended as a glimpse into a world which is quite distant and little known at present. It should provide a picture of a community, which guards its treasures primarily in the hearts of its members and which is allowed to shine out in these black ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The reader of these stories will follow the author around the world. From Bangkok to Brixton, Capri to Cairo, Truro to Trinidad and Venice to the Vatican, they reflect his travels and mindset. Some have happy endings, many don't; all shine a light on the human condition and its varied stimuli: generosity and greed; decency and deceit; love shared and love denied. "There could be no more apt title for this collection than Mixed Blessings. The world they describe is opulent: Gstaad, Mustique, Rome, Switzerland, Monte Carlo. But the people in these stories are not made happy by their vast wealth, their membership of private clubs, nor their rare collections of furniture or ancient books: there's a scorpion's sting in every tale. John Seilern has reimagined Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected for the White Lotus age. Just don't expect the fast cars, beautiful women and opulence in these pages to bring anything other than bad fortune." - Cressida Connolly, author of After the Party 'These are very enjoyable stories from international high life written with great panache.' - James Stourton John Seilern's outstanding short stories evoke Stephan Zweig in their human sympathy, with a tinge of Roald Dahl in ...
