Book Description
Revealed for the first time, the forbidden rites of the Aissaoua. An ancient tradition hailing from North Africa, the Aissaoua were persecuted under Muslim and French Colonial rules for their adherence to heretical doctrines, and their practice of wild, bestial ceremonies and seances. Under the patronage of the Cheikh Azzeddine, the Tariqa Aissaoua-Azzeddini explains for the first time the spiritual mechanics of their order, and provides instructions for those potential murids (disciples) who wish to experience the spirit world in a new and terrifying way."

Pages : 334

Book Description
A young man struggles to reconcile God, faith, and sex as he stumbles toward finding himself in this "brave and irreverent" (Details) memoir. Since childhood, David Schickler has been torn between his intense desire to become a Catholic priest and his equally fervent desire for the company of women. Things don't get any clearer for Schickler at college, where he initiates serious conversations about becoming a Jesuit just as he enters a passionate relationship with a vivacious, agnostic young woman. Setting out on a journey to understand the balance between a life of faith and life in the real world, Schickler comes to terms with this dichotomy and learns that the answers he seeks aren't clear-cut--no matter how long he treads the dark path. Candid and funny, lyrical and blunt, The Dark Path is an evocative portrayal of one man's struggle with faith and women . . . both of which he tries to love with bold, bracing honesty.

Her sleep has been disturbed by haunting visions of a shadowy, accusing figure. Could the body be connected to the ghostly young woman in her dreams?
