CLASSICAL MUSIC RECOMMENDATION #50
Siegfried’s Death and Funeral Music – Richard Wagner
When John Williams wrote the score for Star Wars, film fans were ecstatic over his use of themes for the
different characters and the way he combined them. When
Before them all was Richard Wagner.
Wagner was not the first opera composer to associate musical themes with characters. But he was the first to make these themes, which he called “leitmotifs”, an integral part of his story-telling. In his four-opera cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelungs), he set a standard that still influences composers – especially film composers – to this day.
Wagner began writing this tour de force in 1813 (see my Recommendation #3 for a brief biography of Wagner). He originally wanted to write a single opera titled “The Death of Siegfried”, based on ancient Norse and German legends, but soon realized that the story was much too complex to tell in a single work. So he decided to write another opera to explain the events leading up to Siegfried’s death. Then he realized that he would have to explain who Siegfried was and how he came to be part of the story, so he planned another opera for that. Finally, it became clear that he would have to write a fourth opera to explain how all this tragedy surrounding Siegfried and Brunnhilde came to be to begin with.
It took him 21 years (including a 12-year hiatus during the
third opera) to complete the entire cycle. And then, no opera house then
existing could stage the entire production, so Wagner had to build the Bayreuth Festspielhaus. This
theater premiered the entire Ring Cycle on
The story is long and complex. Briefly, in Das Rheingold (The
the dwarf steals the Rheingold from the Rhinemaidens in the river
In Die Walküre (The Valkyrie), Wotan has had two children, Siegmund and Sieglinde, by a mortal woman. The two are separated at birth, and Sieglinde marries Hunding, a hunter. The opera opens with Siegmund stumbling into Hunding’s hut, where he sees Sieglinde and falls in love with her. When Hunding resolves to fight Siegmund, Wotan wants to protect his son, but his wife, Fricka, insists that he protect Hunding instead, or he (Wotan) will lose his power. So he orders Brunnhilde, a Valkyrie (a warrior-maiden charged with transporting fallen heroes to Walhalla) and his daughter by Erda the goddess of the earth (I told you this was complex!) to protect Hunding. She, however, protects Siegmund instead. As her punishment, she is put into a deep sleep by Wotan and left atop a mountain surrounded by a ring of magical fire that only a hero can penetrate.
In Siegfried, we meet the young hero, Siegfried, the son of Siegmund and Sieglinde (who were slain by Fricka). He has been raised by the dwarf Mime, who just happens to be the brother of Alberich. Mime has heard that Fafner, the giant, has transformed himself into a dragon and guards a hoard of gold, including the Ring. Mime talks Siegfried into battling the dragon, figuring that Fafner and Siegfried will kill each other and he can claim the ring. However, when Siegfried accidentally tastes some of the dragon’s blood while killing it, he learns of Mime’s trickery, and kills him instead. Then he learns of the beautiful, mysterious woman on the mountain, surrounded by fire. He seeks her out, penetrates the flames, and wakes her up. They fall madly in love.
Finally, we come to the opera that Wagner wanted to write
all along – Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods). Siegfried leaves Brunnhilde to
seek adventure, and finds himself in the hall of the Gibichungs
– Gunther, Gunther’s
sister, Gutrune, and Gunther’s
friend, Hagen, who just happens to be – wait for it – Alberich’s
son. Hagen, who recognizes the Ring that Siegfried is
wearing and wants to reclaim it for his father, tricks Siegfried
into drinking a potion that makes him forget Brunnhilde
and fall in love with Gutrune. He then gives Siegfried a magic helmet that will allow him (Siegfried) to assume the identity of Gunther.
Siegfried/Gunther returns to Brunnhilde
and forces her to come to the castle Gibichung where
she will then marry Gunther (the real one). When she
realizes that she was betrayed by Siegfried, she
The last part of the final opera, Siegfried’s Death and Funeral Music, is an amazing combination of musical themes from the entire 20+ hour epic. Originally, Brunnhilde sings her last aria over this music, but it is often excerpted and performed without words in the concert hall. This is another of those pieces that I can’t remember how I discovered. However, when I did, it affected me immensely. The overwhelming sense of tragedy and the final cleansing redemption were simply overwhelming.
Throughout the four operas, Wagner assigns leitmotifs to
almost every major character, item, and concept. The
For the last 15 minutes or so of Götterdämmerung, Wagner pulls in almost every leitmotif and combination thereof to close the drama. We hear Siegfried’s horn call, in a noble form for full brass; we hear the Magic Fire that surrounded Brunnhilde and now claims her and her lover’s body; we hear the Ring, the Rhine, and the Rhinemaidens; we hear Walhalla’s theme as it burns in the distance; and over all, at the very end, we hear the gorgeous motif of Love’s Redemption.
Here is an excerpt from a 1995 PBS “Great Performances” broadcast, in which several musicians discuss the idea of leitmotifs and how Wagner uses them.
And here is the full performance of the orchestral version of the final moments of Götterdämmerung.
In 1981, I saw the incredible Excalibur, John Boorman’s tribute to the legend of King Arthur. For the score for his film, Boorman drew on several classical sources, to smashing effect. I already mentioned one such use, “O Fortuna” from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, in Recommendation #43. For the moment in the final battle when Arthur and Mordred kill each other, Boorman chose the first half of Siegfried’s Death and Funeral Music. The film displays a marvelous editing job, as we hear the music straight through, while Boorman uses it to underscore not only the moment when Arthur and his son face each other for the last time, but also Percival’s reluctant return of the sword, Excalibur, to the Lady of the Lake and the final glimpse of the boat that carries Arthur’s body to the island of Avalon.

Meet the Author: Dav Pilkey
Dav Pilkey was born in Cleveland, Ohio to Barbara and David Pilkey. He has one older sister. Dav's story as a cartoonist and author begins in elementary school where he frequently spent the day in the hallway due to his disruptive behavior. His high school principal said to Dav, "[He] said to me, 'I know you think you're special because you can draw, but let me tell you something: Artists are a dime a dozen. You will never make a living as an artist!" Dav took those words to heart and never forgot them. He has since proven this wrong as he is now an award winning author/illustrator of many wonderful books for children. Dav attended Kent State University where one of his professors noticed his talent and encouraged him to enter a writing contest, which he won and later published the book World War Won. Of course, Dav is best known for his series of Captain Underpants books, which has sold over 14 million copies, started with Pilkey's second grade teacher who happened to say "underpants" in front of her class. The class burst into laughter and she continued to correct them by saying, " underwear is not funny." Thus began Dav's fascination with the subject and, as he puts it, "I discovered that underwear was a powerful thing: Not only could it make my friends laugh, but it could also make my teacher very angry!" Dav took a brief break from writing to attend to his serious ill father, but did return when he made a deal with Scholastic for more books. Currently, Dav lives in Washington state with his wife Sayuri, whom he met and married in 2005. His newest book, Cat Kid Comic Club, will be available on April 12, 2022.

I gave a presentation recently that referred to three books I’ve found particularly useful – and afterwards was asked if I had a recommended reading list on my blog. Well, I didn’t until now! Here are some books that have somehow helped me professionally, and were also simply interesting and rewarding. For each, I’m listing a summary, a choice quote or two, and something about how I’ve used it. I will also try to update this post from time-to-time with more.
(Quick aside: here’s a tip about reading on the Kindle – I create Highlights and Notes on the Kindle all the time but until recently found it very hard to access them easily. Now I’m using a website service called Clippings.io which organises them in a much cleaner and more accessible way so, if you’re also a habitual Kindle clipper, check it out.)
Books covered so far:
- Writing on the Wall: Social Media – The First 2,000 Years by Tom Standage
- The Signal and the Noise: The Art and Science of Prediction by Nate Silver
- Time to Think by Nancy Kline
- Don’t Think of an Elephant! Know Your Values and Frame the Debate by George Lakoff
- Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting by Robert McKee
- Also a special ‘best bits’ post about Switch, a really useful book by the great Chip and Dan Heath.
…and more to come soon(ish)!

This year the invented language Esperanto celebrated its 125th anniversary. L L Zamenhof began the Esperanto movement when he published the Unua Libro "First Book" on July 26, 1887. Esperanto is the most successful invented international auxiliary language, with perhaps as many as 2,000,000 fluent speakers and perhaps a thousand native speakers, including international financier George Soros whose surname means "will soar" in Esperanto. Over 25,000 books in Esperanto have been published. The Scottish poet, author, translator and magazine editor William Auld wrote chiefly in Esperanto and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999, 2004 and 2006, the only person ever nominated for works in Esperanto. There is an official international Esperanto Academy in charge of keeping Esperanto's structure and new vocabulary consistent with its founding principles as defined by Zamenhof and the first (1905) World Congress of Esperanto. According to this website (in Esperanto) there currently 579 Esperanto organizations in the world.
Esperanto language resources (mostly) on the Internet
The book In the Land of Invented Languages by Erika Okrent is a general survey of invented languages, including Esperanto. I found two adequate online Esperanto courses for beginners, here and here. The best English-Esperanto Esperanto-English dictionary I've found is at the Majstro website. Another good one is the Reta Vortaro. RV has definitions in Esperanto with English glosses at the end of each entry. An outstanding Esperanto-Esperanto dictionary is the Plena Ilustrita Vortaro de Esperanto. Their online dictionary (free registration required, 50 words per day limit) is extremely useful for advanced students. A list of Esperanto sexual terminology is here (sorry, all in Esperanto). The only Esperanto reference grammar I've found is all in Esperanto, the Plena Manlibro de Esperanta Gramatiko by Bertilo Wennergren. It can be viewed online or downloaded in PDF format. It's well organized, exhaustive in detail and covers non-standard grammatical and word-building affixes as well as those approved by the Esperanto Academy. A good online Esperanto bookseller is the Esperanto-USA Retbutiko. It offers textbooks, reference books, subscriptions to periodicals, original literature and translations, as well as CDs, DVDs, souvenirs and Esperanto club memberships. Many national and international Esperanto organizations have their own newsletters. Some magazines in Esperanto: La Ondo de Esperanto, Monato, Mirmekobo ("anteater"). The website La Esperanta Gazetejo has free downloadable PDFs of many Esperanto periodicals, current and out of print.


In Celebration of Women
The Women's Movement
The Women's Movement, which ushered in a new wave of feminism during the sixties and seventies, rolls on in more and more wondrously diverse ways.
Many professions have as many (or more) women as men in graduate training programs; CEOs of some major corporations are women (yes, the glass ceiling is still very much with us; and pay parity is not yet reality); women of color and lesbian women and soccer moms and evangelical Christian women are speaking with clearer and more confident voices.
Women and Social Support
Men often envy women's ease in connecting with each other, in finding and utilizing social support. A man may have coined the term "networking" but women set the pace in creating viable social networks, whether over the back fence in the neighborhood, political organizing, or in the workplace.
Self Help on Women's Issues
The books for women listed in the section on Women's Issues offer a kaleidoscope of information, guidance, support, encouragement and celebration for women.


The first time I read about The Fear Project was in this tweet. Which was more than enough reason for me to check the book out.
For those of you who don’t know . Mark Mathews is one of the best known big wave surfers around. But surfing big didn’t come natural to him. As a child he was scared of big waves. Dealing with fear has been an important part of the challenges he has faced in life. Mark and Richie ‘Vaz’ Vaculik actually made a movie about it, called Fighting Fear. And it is a definite must see!
Jaimal Yogis’ book couldn’t relate closer to Mark mathews’ story if it was intentional. Whereas Mark had to prepare himself to surf Shipstern’s Bluff again, Jaimal was getting ready to surf Mavericks for the first time. But the Fear Project relates just as much to the more common lifestyle.
We may not all cope with the fear of riding giant waves, but we all fear things such as social discomfort, not being able to realize our dreams, being trapped in the wrong jobs. Basically we all fear and we all need methods to make us cope with those fears.
The book takes us along Jaimal’s quest for answers to how fear works. In the progress he talks to neuroscientists, psychologists, meditation teachers and sports athletes. The mix of personal experiences, relevant testimonials of several elite athletes and scientific research works well, and never becomes hard to read. Particularly the way Jaimal tries to adapt the knowledge he gathers to his personal life makes the book so life-like. It’s all baby steps, and none of it really comes easily either. It’s no Rocky Balboa story, which makes it that more tangible. There’s no 2D superhero here. It’s a person of flesh and blood to whom we can all relate. He even manages to balance the insights of scienctific research with a more holistic approach to mental and physical health. So it doesn’t really matter what your interests are. The book offers a broad view and delivers strong insights that may help you better understand your fears and find better ways to cope with them.

Widely studied and recognised as an essential – Influence, The Psychology of Persuasion by Dr Robert Cialdini is a thorough investigation into the tools and tactics used by compliance professionals. It took me some time to get through this book and I’m glad that I stuck at it.. I’ll never look at the world in the same way that I did before. Read it!
Seth Godin’s ‘The Dip’ is nice and short and emphasises what is important about trying new things.. knowing when to stick and when to quit. Seth is great at giving an idea the weight it needs to lodge in your mind and I recommend this.
The book Rich Dad Poor Dad sounded like it was going to be kinda old school or dated. I was surprised that actually it is very readable and doesn’t sound dated at all. Good narrative, good useable takeaways, and best of all something you can teach your kids.
So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport is a welcome criticism of the idea that you should ‘Find Your Passion’. This is a book written as arguments and contains interesting examples of people who have *Developed Passion. If you feel like you don’t know what ‘Your Passion’ is… read this next.
Tools Of Titans by Tim Ferris! Well, it took a while but not because it was hard to read.. Actually it’s written in such a way that you can dip in and out of it, learning how to improve your flexibility a bit here and how to increase your investing a bit there. Ferris is one of my favourite writers and his latest book certainly does not disappoint.
Zero to One by Peter Teal with Blake Masters is an exceptional book. I’m beginning to learn that when a book is *very* good it takes me far longer to read, because I am studying it. There is so much Gold here!
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill contains some classic ideas which come up time and again in other books. ‘You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with’ is one of my favourites! This book is written in an older style but definitely makes the list.
This book, Iron John by Robert Bly is non fiction but in its deconstruction of a German a fairy tale (Also know as Iron Hans) explains some things about Masculinity, Initiation and some of the traps and pitfalls along the way. It’s very enlightening and may answer some questions you didn’t know you needed to ask.
Start With Why by Simon Sinek – If you haven’t read it read it! If you can’t read it, watch the TED Talk. This idea is fundamental and Sinek explains how it determines our success as a business or Entrepreneur.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective people by Stephen Covey is on the larger side of books in this collection. I read this early on when I was reading less often and it took me a long time to get through, but it’s takeaway’s are valuable – If you find it hard going then dip into it and come back. It’s worth it.
Key Person of influence by Daniel Priestly is a short, direct, actionable guide to becoming one of the most successful people in your chosen industry. People sell courses based around the content of this book because if you do what it says, it absolutely works. If you want be successful in anything, this is one is a must.
Waking Up by Sam Harris is a wonderful book which discusses ‘Spirituality without religion’. I’m a fan of Harris’ podcasts and debates and this book is in my opinion the best place to begin. No hippy speak here.. just a scientific interpretation of spirituality.
Pitch Anything by Oren Klaff took me longer to read because I really wanted to study it – when you read it you may find yourself making notes and diagrams of all the cool usable information he’s worked out for steering situations to your advantage.. like social Jiu Jitsu!
The Obstacle is the Way, from Ryan Holiday is very enjoyable. Particularly in the sense that as you read it, it dissolves stress and worry. It’s a must read.
If there’s a book I wish I’d picked up 10 years earlier it’s The 4-Hour Work Week. In Tim’s typical style it gives you things that you can do right now, should you accept the challenge!
‘Fear, The Friend of Exceptional People’ was recommended to me by my Martial Arts professor to help me channel a warrior mentality. It delivers. Lots of good takeaways to help you deal with any stressful situation.
Siddartha by Herman Hess is a small book which I was able to read quickly. This book convinced me that it’s important to read fiction. It’s a very evocative and personal story about the journey toward enlightenment.
At 154 pages, Man’s Search for Meaning is easy to pick up and hard to put down. Viktor’s powerful story is inspiring and will give new context when you’re facing the challenges in your life. So glad I read this and delighted to add it to my recommended reading list.

To make things easier for you there is a list made by our team to help you find the best books on VLSI design.
1. Principles of CMOS VLSI Design
This book is the first comprehensive text on CMOS VLSI design. It provides an in-depth introduction to CMOS technology, including basic circuit elements, CMOS transistor physics and device models. The book then goes on to discuss the design process from circuit layout to testing and evaluation of programmable devices.
The authors also cover advanced topics such as memory cells, floating gate memories and flash memory. Along with this book, there are two additional books that complement this one and provide additional information: a book on high-speed logic designs – which is available separately – and a book on power management circuits – which is also available separately. It starts with a discussion of the basic building blocks of an LSI, followed by an explanation of how these blocks are organized in a programmable device. The second half of the book focuses on how to design a CMOS inverter and shift register. The author uses examples from his personal experience as well as from textbooks and other sources to explain his points.
The most important aspect of this book is that it provides a solid basis for understanding the principles underlying CMOS logic design, which is absolutely necessary for anyone wishing to enter this field. It also provides an excellent reference for those who wish to learn more about this topic.
2. VLSI Design: circuits and systems perspective
This is another well-known resource on VLSI design. This book has been published by Prentice Hall since 1976 and is still available today. It has been translated into several languages including English, French, German and Japanese. The book contains many exercises which help readers understand concepts better by giving them hands-on experience with them. It covers all the important aspects of a VLSI system, including hardware and software, circuit design, fabrication and test, signal processing and signal integrity. The book uses an integrated approach, explaining how to carry out the design process from start to finish, using both classical and modern examples.This is an ideal reference book for those who want to learn more about CMOS technology and how it can be used in different applications such as digital signal processors (DSPs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), microprocessors etc..
3. Fundamentals of Modern VLSI Devices
If you want to learn about the fundamentals of modern VLSI design, this is a great book to start with. It will teach you how to get started in the field and how to think about your designs. There are also a ton of useful examples and exercises throughout the book. This book covers all the basics that you need to know about VLSI design, including logic synthesis, RC, combinational logic and memory design. It also talks about digital modelling, especially for memory hierarchy design and delay optimization. This book is aimed at beginners and intermediate students who want to learn about VLSI devices from scratch.
4. VLSI Physical Design
This book is more advanced than the earlier books mentioned in the list and can be used as a reference for more complex problems in VLSI design. It covers many topics including reconfigurable hardware, programmable logic arrays, MOSFET scaling, prefetching flows and much more. This book is aimed at advanced students who want to get into the field of VLSI design but don’t know where to start! The book covers the logic synthesis, timing closure methods, RTL implementation, interconnect topology optimization etc.


The Art of Tiki
Role: Lead designer of interior layout of book, pre-press check, and photo retouching 100’s of image of artwork.
The Art of Tiki is a passionate study of the Tiki idol as an art form. For the first time, contemporary Tiki art is united and presented equally with what inspired it, original mid-century Polynesian pop. Author Sven Kirsten combines his first-hand experiences in exploring the birth of Tiki style with his intimate knowledge of the Tiki Revival, painting a vivid, visually arresting portrait of a unique, always new art genre. The Art of Tiki is published in conjunction with the 20th Anniversary Tiki Art Exhibition at La luz de Jesus Gallery in Los Angeles.
Sven was born in the the German port town of Hamburg in 1955. He emigrated to California in 1980 to study at the San Francisco Art Institute and the American Film Institute. It was this love for visuals that inspired Sven to collect and photograph the remnants of the forgotten culture of Polynesian pop in America, leading him to identify the Tiki as its icon. His three books on the subject put Tiki firmly on the map of American pop culture, and are regarded as the standard works on the style.

The school log books are an extraordinary record of North’s history which we have used to research the past and retell the school’s history through community events, workshops, exhibitions and special celebratory events for North’s 125th birthday on 12 November 2019.
From March 2020, this unique birthday year took a very different turn. The outbreak of the coronavirus, meant that school life changed drastically; staff and pupils were living through an unprecedented time in North’s history.
Headteacher Alan Garnett recorded the many changes in his weekly diary, published in the Daily Gazette. These too will become part of North’s archive for pupils of the future to discover what school was like in 2020.


a shimmering, Massachusetts morning, Martha Brailsford stepped aboard the
"Counterpoint" and went for the last sail of her life. She had no way
of knowing that the boat's owner, Tom Maimoni, had a dark side, that he'd lured
other women onto his boat. What
happened that morning of July 12, 1998? Was
Martha's death an accident? Or,
was she murdered? Would
there be enough evidence for a jury to convict Maimoni?
this nonfiction debut, mystery novelist Margaret Press takes us into the heart
of Salem, introducing a cast of real-life characters—the other women who
encountered Maimoni, the team of dedicated investigators, the
"lobsterman," and the modern-day witch of Salem. As the lives of these
townspeople intertwine, readers are drawn in to an intriguing maze of surprise
and contradiction, where all the paths lead back to that fateful July morning
aboard the "Counterpoint."

This book, The Making of a Manager, came up in conversation with a (non-manager) friend recently, and I thought I’d share some of our conversation, and my thoughts, here. I’m also including an Amazon Affiliates link, so if you’re curious about the book, please feel free to purchase it through me #purelyselfish 🙂
I told my friend that, “some books feel like a nearly-remembered memory, if that makes sense, so I read them more for new techniques to try than for the thrills” and my friend pointed out Zhuo’s book felt like that, and was “best read academically.” I totally agree – this is a great book for you to use to learn some techniques you can try in the office, whether you’re a manager or not. Zhuo’s tips on planning, for example, would benefit any corporate type, regardless of individual contributor or manager status. Same with her tips on earning trust.
Zhuo also gives the reader great insight into the practice of management, and what makes a good manager (or not). I like her inner voice, and how she shares the experience of executing when you don’t have all the answers, which make this book extraordinarily relatable. She uses clear, easy-to-understand language throughout. This, coupled with her easy voice, made me read through it so quickly I wanted to start again immediately after I finished (in case I missed something critical!)
I didn’t start over after I finished, but I did cycle back through the book to re-read some of the pieces that I needed the most, at that exact moment – making an impact through my team, managing my mistakes, etc.
This book feels like an approachable advisor, and having it around to refer back to makes me feel more confident in my ability to excel as a manager. It’s not a pleasure read, but it’s exceedingly pleasant to read, regardless.


from everyday magic / bakara wintner / macmillan
You do not need to learn the tarot because you already know it. It is from this radical jumping off point that WTF Is Tarot breaks down the ancient art of cartomancy. This fresh, accessible and sometimes cheeky guide sheds a holistic light on how the fuck to read tarot, from the foundation of magic itself to understanding those tricky court cards to offering readings to others.
In WTF Is Tarot, author and tarot reader Bakara Wintner unpacks the magic of the Major and Minor Aracana with shamanic wisdom and girl boss wit, illuminating their meaning with thoughtful anecdotes and analogies that reveal how deeply rooted these symbols already are in our everyday lives: we can feel the Moon in a howling barefoot run through Prospect Park, accept the grace of Temperance in falling in love or a divine intervention, “ghost the haters” with the Six of Swords, or identify a fuckboy in the Son of Wands.
WTF is Tarot offers far more than a refreshingly candid tutorial on card reading. Bakara goes on to investigate the magic of crystal healing, chakras, meditation, and other magical practices. This young witch offers not just a guide, but an invitation for even the most mundane Muggles to welcome magic into their lives, and for experienced wizards to rediscover it once again.
Endorsements for WTF is Tarot?
“WTF is Tarot? -- like it's author -- is pure magic. Irreverent, hilarious, full of insight, and deeply moving, it is a brand new take on the Tarot from a fresh voice. Bakara is a true talent, and her vision on all things mystical is both welcome and original. If you're seeking a totally unique, in depth, no nonsense take on the Tarot, look no further than this book.” – Lindsay Mack, Wild Soul Healing
“Bakara’s grounded wisdom is evident as soon as you lay eyes on the first sentence of this book. Instead of explaining tarot as something out of your grasp, she’s able to create associations that are entangled in our everyday life. Cards are transformed into tangible memories and feelings, like the Two of Cups being “the amazing tinder date” or Nine of Pentacales being “cozy as fuck.” This is the book for the person who wants to be real with their readings, who probably curses a lot, and whose unapologetic about the way they approach modern day spirituality. All in all, WTF is Tarot answers that question, along with others, in the way your bff would over a glass (or three) of wine. Bakara’s lighthearted and soulful voice is the perfect guide through the world of tarot.” – Gabriela Herstik, writer of Nylon Magazine's "Ask a Witch” column
“Bakara Wintner is a welcome new voice in the world of tarot. Her book WTF Is Tarot? sparkles with honesty, insight, humor, and a touch of irreverence as it unveils the magick and mystery of this beloved oracle. With wit and intelligence, Wintner explains the cards’ individual meanings and how to understand their significance in the context of a reading. She takes you beyond the superficial and commonplace interpretations found in many books about the tarot and invites you to explore further, deeper, into your own heart of hearts, while encouraging you to trust your intuition, your inner knowing, and the multi-layered wisdom revealed by the cards. Whether you’re a curious newbie or a seasoned tarot reader, this book belongs in your personal library. I look forward to reading more from this talented writer.” – Skye Alexander, author of The Modern Witchcraft Book of Tarot


The Gentleman’s Promise Frances Fowlkes (Daughters of Amhurst, #3) Published by: Entangled Publishing Publication date: April 17th 2017 Genres: Adult, Historical, Romance
A social pariah due to her scandalous activities, Lady Sarah Beauchamp yearns for redemption to obtain a husband. The assistance of Society darling Mr. Jonathon Annesley gives her hope of success. However, the more effort he puts into helping her, the more she realizes the only esteem she wishes to earn is that of the handsome Jonathon. However, her reputation would potentially ruin his political aspirations.
Offering a gentleman’s promise to help his sister’s friend regain the favor of the ton should be easy for son of a viscount, Jonathon Annesley. After all, he’s well liked and considered a rising star in Parliament. Until he learns Sarah’s ultimate goal is a husband. No man is good enough and could ever appreciate her for all she is. But she is not for him—his focus rests solely on gaining reforms for society’s weakest members. Yet, a promise made cannot be broken…
After viewing her all-time favorite love story, “Anne of Green Gables”, at the impressionable age of ten, Frances Fowlkes has been obsessed with affable boy-next door heroes, red-heads, and romance stories with lots of “highfaluting mumbo jumbo” written within their pages. It only seems natural then that she married the boy who used to pull on her curls in her high school English class, had not one, but THREE red-headed boys, and penned multiple love stories with bits of flowery prose.
When not writing, Frances loves spending time with her family, fangirling, and planning her next vacation.
Frances Fowlkes, originally a northern mid-westerner, now lives in the southeast with her ardent hero of a husband, three playful and rambunctious boys, and one spoiled standard poodle.
A self-professed Anglophile and summa cum laude graduate of LeTourneau University, Frances Fowlkes combines her passion for happily-ever-afters with her interests in both American and English histories.

After an automobile accident, Isabel St. James-resident drama coach and drama queen-needs help putting together the church play. Mama insists April Grace and Myra Sue will help. April's fall is now devoted to spending every afternoon with Isabel and Myra Sue-if anyone is as big of a drama queen as Isabel, it's Myra Sue. Plus, she's dumb. (Okay, not dumb, but "older sister dumb.") If that's not enough, Isabel is wreaking havoc in the community trying to get Rough Creek Road paved, the new boy at school will not leave her alone, and then Mama drops the biggest bombshell of all . . . April Grace is no longer going to be the baby of the family .
Cliques, Hicks and Ugly Sticks is the second book in the "Confessions of April Grace" series by KD McCrite and now I feel like I need to go and buy the first one.
First of all I have to say I love reading tween and teen books. This book is about an 11 year old girl who is starting junior high and dealing with changes in her family and you can really relate to what she is saying and feeling about all the struggles of school and family. This girl is so darn funny I couldn't help but really laugh out loud in a few parts. I told my daughter what this book was about so I'm going to start her off with the first one and I know she is going to love it being an 11 year old herself and starting 6th grade next year and dealing with her siblings. This book is an excellent book and there is no worry about what your kids may be reading about its Christian based.
Disclosure:I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com <http://BookSneeze®.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

Lowernine.org is a charitable organisation dedicated to rebuilding the ravaged Lower Ninth-Ward of New Orleans, Louisiana which due to its proximity to the Industrial Canal levee breach, was one of the hardest-hit neighbourhoods in the wake of hurricane Katrina. Lowernine.org are aiming for a holistic rebuilding of a community, through such projects as a home rebuilding training program whereby essential skills such as carpentry, electrics and plumbing allow neighbours to work together to build a safer, greener and cleaner area for them and their children. In addition to rebuilding houses, new projects such as the community garden overcome logistical issues such as a lack of amenities in the area as a result of the widespread devastation. This kind of grassroots development demonstrates how in the face of disaster, communities can change for the better.

Currently timber is enjoying renewed popularity as a building material because it is carbon-neutral, a good thermal insulator, structurally strong and has the look and feel of a natural resource. If one product encapsulates the current vogue for wood in buildings it is cross-laminated timber (CLT). This structural plywood can be produced up to 27 layers and in panel sizes up to 3m long. The great appeal of CLT is that it is an all-in-one material that can be used as structure, fabric and finish. CLT is invariably produced by, market experts in Austria, Germany and Switzerland (included is a link to German company, Binderholz Bausysteme catalogue which details technical data, characteristic values and various ready made constructions). Despite the continental production, UK architects have been pushing the boundaries of CLT application in projects such as the Woodland Trust headquarters in Grantham and Sainsbury’s in Darmouth.

I'm just back from a trip to Berlin, where I visited the former Tempelhof Airport, which ceased operating in 2008. Described by Norman Foster as 'the mother of all modern airports', its vast runways have recently been turned into a quite astonishing public space. Curiously, official information about this unique site and its possible future - in English at least - is surprisingly hard to find, and coverage in the architectural press is virtually non-existent.

Mindfulness and Madness:
Money, Food, Sex and the Sacred
Mindfulness is when we give our full attention to what we rarely give a moment’s thought to--nowness, when all of us, mind and body, is brought to the present moment. Madness, on the other hand, is the state of mind that compulsively jumps from one thing to the next, hitchhiking between past and future, but rarely landing in the here and now. This book explains, in plain language, how we can bring the power of mindfulness into everyday life to restore our sanity.
What Was in Buddha's Left Hand?: Tantric Wisdom to Transform Neurosis to Sanity
To be published by John Hunt Publishers March 2020 - order now
This book is about the Buddhist tantric teachings of the five elements—-earth, water, fire, wind, and space. These elements are living energies within each of us, and as we learn how to tune into them they become a system of personal transformation, guiding us how to integrate our many aspects so that we can become more authentic, more of who we really are.
“With a rare combination of intellectual clarity and heartfelt practicality, Ira Rechtshaffer applies Buddhist wisdom to the down-to-earth issues of daily life. His deep feeling for the sacred illuminates the powerful path he lays out for personal healing, transformation, and freedom. A gem of a book… really something special here!”
-Rick Hanson, Ph.D. Author of Buddha’s Brain: the Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom.
“Based on years of experience as a psychotherapist and a life-long meditation practice, Ira Rechtshaffer has shown how both traditions combine to contribute to easing human suffering. He leads a reader along a path of discovery of the elements which make up personal identity, its struggles and the possibility of surcease. The book concludes with a delightful way of looking at personality in terms of the six Buddhist realms. From narcissism to neurosis, Rechtshaffer shows how mindfulness can heal our estrangement from ourselves.”
-Charles Fisher Ph.D. Professor Emeritus Brandeis University and author of Dismantling Discontent: Buddha’s Way Through Darwin's World.
“What Was in Buddha’s Left Hand builds on Ira Rechtshaffer’s many years as a psychotherapist and is a fruitful doorway to bring the elements from Tibetan Buddhist psychology into modern understanding.”
- Jack Kornfield, Ph.D. Author of A Path with Heartand Seeking the Heart of Wisdom
“It gives me great pleasure to endorse this book on the vast vision and minute particulars of the mandala principal. This important and comprehensive work illustrates the many aspects ——psychological, elemental, and sensory – of the five wisdom energies. We are in debted to Ira Rechtshaffer for contributing to our understanding of these profound teachings to bring about an embodied wholeness as well as a cosmic understanding.”
-Irini Rockwell, Author of The five Wisdom Energies: a Buddhist Way of Understanding Personalities, Emotions, and Relationships, and Natural Brilliance: a Buddhist System for Uncovering Your Strengths and Letting Them Shine.
Intimacy, Love and the Shadow of Desire
The Buddhist mandala (a symbol for wholeness) is composed of the five elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and space. These elements are wisdom energies that we all possess. They function like a Rosetta stone, helping us decipher the innumerable layers and aspects of ourselves and our interpersonal relationships. As we begin to tune into these elements, they unleash their power to animate and enliven our connection with others and with our everyday life, inspiring us to see, hear, and feel the world with refreshing openness.
Meditation as the Art of Everyday Life
We entered the world with a sense of the miraculous and with openness to raw experience. By the time we left childhood, we were taught to suppress the ordinary miracle of being. The problem is that the world is no longer enchanted for us as when we were children and ordinary things pulsated with life. Read More...
We’re larger than our experience of suffering at any moment. Buddhism suggests that we are the space of awareness within which suffering is occurring and that our true dimensions extend beyond it. Read More...
Living in the Moment
Throughout the day there are continual moments of openness and possibility, but also uncertainty. For the meditator, the challenge is whether we are able to linger in the space of 'don't know' and trust what happens next...You could discover that you feel like crying with joy, or maybe hugging a tree, or biting into a Macintosh apple, and surprise yourself. Read More...
Samsara: The Difference Between Dogs and Lions
When you’re with a dog and you throw a stick, the dog will faithfully chase the stick. When you throw a stick before a lion, the lion will chase you not the stick. . . . Like dogs we have been faithfully chasing all the stuff that the mind throws at us. We need to look at the "thrower" of the sticks rather than the mind's productions. Read More...
Mindfulness meditation suggests that it is refreshing to meet the nakedness of situations with your own nakedness, here and now. Outside of the immediacy of nowness we fail to genuinely appreciate our lives because we are struggling to survive in time, projecting ourselves into the future or attempting to resolve the past. Read More...
Shining a Light in the Darkness
There is a dark side of the mind that many spiritual practitioners unwittingly avoid... Meditation or prayer doesn't always shine a light into those areas because our "shadows" are heavily defended. Meditation may reveal the transparency of our ego, who we take ourselves to be, but that is only half the story. Read More...
Cultural Factors Shaping Buddha's Message
Every culture through which Buddhism radiated its wisdom shaped the Buddha's message to the mentality of its populace, and by doing so, offered novel and fresh opportunities for Buddha dharma to shine through. In the present cross fertilization of East and West, something very unique in the history of spirituality is being born. Read More...
Karma: Entrapment or Liberation
The Buddha taught that our thoughts manifest as words, and they in turn, manifest as behaviors, which develop into habits, and habits eventually harden into character or personality. We might add that character is destiny in that the compelling power of our habitual patterns shape our lives in conformity with who we take ourselves to be. Read More...
Even Yogis Get the Blues
Extending loving kindness to ourselves creates a fierce fire. As we open to our shadow aspects, the broken, wounded and inferior parts, we may experience shame and feel diminished. Yet, it is precisely these forgotten aspects of ourselves that cry out for our love so that we can be healed and whole. Read More...

Part of Bloomsbury’s rich literary and cultural heritage, The Bloomsbury Set, including free spirited artists and writers Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster and Vanessa Bell, are the inspiration behind Jo Malone’s latest fragrance collection.
The collection captures the intoxicating essence of the Set’s ‘unconventional life’ and their weekends in Charleston farmhouse in Sussex. The five new limited edition fragrances include:
• Garden Lilie, a crisp and refreshing scent, reminisces on early mornings by the pond with notes of water lilies and hints of white musk and vanilla
• Blue Hyacinth was created by combining the blooms found within the gardens of Charleston, including geraniums and vetiver, making a sweet, floral fragrance
• Leather & Artemisia has been designed to transport you to the house’s library, filled with books bound in leather. Its notes of absinthe and cypriol further enhance the nostalgic feeling the scent evokes
• Tobacoo & Mandarin relives the talks on philosophy, literature and art enjoyed with a tobacco pipe after dinner. Tobacco is recreated with the addition of mandarin, sage and beeswax
• Whisky & Cedarwood, an unconventional fragrance made of an enigmatic blend of whisky, roses, pimento and cedar wood, captures the Set’s darkest tales

Back to my first theme, which I never really left: the end of the world as we know it.
I just started reading another cheerful book, as I can only take a few pages at a time of Uninhabitable Earth. The one I’ve just started has been around a few years, and it actually is cheerful in tone, celebrating the rediscovery of invigorating ideas from a Roman writer during the early Renaissance. It’s The Swerve, from the Shakespearean scholar Stephen Greenblatt.
The part that just caught my attention, however, captures my fears for us:
“As the empire crumbled, as cities decayed, trade declined, and the increasingly anxious populace scanned the horizon for barbarian armies, the whole Roman system of elementary and higher education fell apart. What began as downsizing went on to wholesale abandonment. Schools closed, libraries and academies shut their doors, professional grammarians and teachers of rhetoric found themselves out of work. There were more important things to worry about than the fate of books.”
Well, I’m not so sure. Here I sit worrying about Shakespeare being lost to the future. Maybe not right away, but in time.
Greenblatt recounts how a man named Poggio rediscovered the visionary Lucretius’ De Rerum Natura, which became seminal in Renaissance intellectual development. But one of the clues that inspired him to start looking for Lucretius amidst moldy manuscripts in Germany was a reference to him in another manuscript, a comment by Quintilian, who also listed eight other Roman writers who are utterly lost to us.
How much might have been lost from classical poets and thinkers? How much faster might “progress” toward the modern world have come? Who knows? One can shrug and say that’s how human history goes. Or one can worry about losing Shakespeare and—fill in the blank—your favorite genius.
But we have schools still, thanks to Zoom. And humans are ingenious. Who knows where this will end? Bang, whimper, magnificient innovations and reversed climate crisis?
Still, better to think about these things and read Greenblatt than to listen to another hour of current news.


The Rainbow Division Memorial at Croix Rouge Farm – Book
John Meulkens, a longtime admirer of James Butler’s oeuvre and author of the book James Butler: An Extended Personal View of a Collector, has written a new book on The Croix Rouge Farm Memorial – gathering an impressive collection of preliminary drawings, photographs, and texts that retrace the history of the statue from inception to completion. These are accompanied by a narrative on the Second Battle of the Marne and the battle at Croix Rouge Farm where the Rainbow Division distinguished itself in July of 1918. The presentation of the statue in the courtyard of the Royal Academy during the 2011 Summer Exhibition and its inauguration in France on November 12, 2012 also constitute an important statement about the significance of this great work of art, and the profound memorial it represents. Dual-language book (English/French).
Proceeds to benefit the perpetuity of the memory and future of the Rainbow Division Veterans Foundation.

@shadowofdarkness: because of your fear that eventually not all local keys are correctly uploaded to the central key database I've created a small tool to compare a private keyfile with the main keyfile: keydbcompare.zip Update 20170105: new Link to tool KeyDBcompare-002 Simply copy all your private keyfiles in one file and next drag it onto the keydbcompare.exe and it will compare your local. I'm running Win10 and the 64bit 2.2.4 VLC player. I did the all bits for the aacs library data, so the Blu-Ray movie starts to play in VLC, however the audio is extremely choppy. It only plays a little blurp of sound once every 2 seconds or so. I've tried it with the 32bit version and the 64bit version. I have also installed the K-Lite basic codec pack v.1215 and no change in to the audio. I was able to play BluRay disks with VLC after installing AnyDVD to decrypt the disk. Then VLC worked without problems Step 2: After downloading the key database and AACS DYNAMIC LIBRARY from the site, drag and put the key database in the below directory /Library/Preferences/AACS/ (if this folder is not there then create it) on your Mac, and AACS dynamic library in the ~/lib directory. Now you can easily play Blu-ray movies on Mac using VLC media player Libaacs has the capacity to decrypt Blu-ray disc with known AACS keys. 3. Libbdplus could decrypt Blu-ray disc with libgcrypt. Since VLC media player is available to both Windows and Mac OS, the process to install the add-on are different. Just learn more about the details to install the add-ons to the VLC Blu-ray player as below. This Blu-ray player can also work as the slow motion video.
