Book Description
Black Magic, in the path of necromancy is an attempt to recognize knowledge and influence of rituals, symbols, actions, gestures, speech and speech communications, those influences on the destiny and health of the victim. Generally magicians believe that dark magic is an exercise in isolation and secrecy to have personal spiritual growth. They state that usage of black magic has been sustained since the earliest human cultures and deliver a significant spiritual, religious and medicinal use in many civilizations. They further added that theory of black magic is a fact which can produce a result somewhere else, cooperation with the evil spirits those causes the adverse effects and black magic is a scheme of knowledge used for adverse actions within societies. Generally, magic is divided into different categories. Here is the magic used by the wizards of today and there is black magic practiced by witchcrafts and wizards now a days and of ancient time. All of today's magicians will readily acknowledge that they are simply practicing the art of misrepresentation and illusion. Even the world's greatest magicians, those can make the statue of liberty disappear in front of masses eyes or cut a person in half and put him back together again readily acknowledged that they just deceive the masses and the stunt is based on some clued-up deception. However, witchcrafts and wizards of black magic claims except that in reality they can change or defy the legal philosophies of nature and can compose and arrange the supernatural phenomena turn out. They assert they can bend spoons immediately by attending at them or can speak to dead bodies and have psychic abilities to read people's minds to know their past and can predict about their prospects. Hence, far, all those have claimed to be able to use incantations to talk dead or other occult means to reach the unimaginable happen, have all been shown to be frauds and humbugs. Wizards and Witches of different eras claims, these powers actually exist and attainable by the worship of devils. Many Foundations in the world offers over a million-dollar reward for anyone that can prove any paranormal abilities. Thus far, many have sampled, only there have yet been no takers... Magical language falls into the category of mythology because it is emotive and converted into words, of symbols for emotions and possible source of the supernatural power, words using for symbols are their secrecy and exclusivity. It is incomprehensible to the bulk of the population and it can only be applied and interpreted by specialized practitioners The possession of magical language alone may be deficient to accept a force of black magic, it needs completion of black rituals to function the black magic with certain aims.

Haunting, lyrical, unforgettable, Girl in the Dark is a brave new memoir of a life without light. Anna Lyndsey was young and ambitious and worked hard; she had just bought an apartment; she was falling in love. Then what started as a mild intolerance to certain kinds of artificial light developed into a severe sensitivity to all light. Now, at the worst times, Anna is forced to spend months on end in a blacked-out room, where she loses herself in audiobooks and elaborate word games in an attempt to ward off despair. During periods of relative remission, she can venture out cautiously at dawn and dusk into a world that, from the perspective of her cloistered existence, is filled with remarkable beauty. And through it all there is Pete, her love and her rock, without whom her loneliness seems boundless. One day Anna had an ordinary life, and then the unthinkable happened. But even impossible lives, she learns, endure. Girl in the Dark is a tale of an unimaginable fate that becomes a transcendent love story. It brings us to an extraordinary place from which we emerge to see the light and the world anew.

The Light Ages: The Surprising Story of Medieval Science

Author: Seb Falk
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 1324002948
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 416

Book Description
Named a Best Book of 2020 by The Telegraph, The Times, and BBC History Magazine An illuminating guide to the scientific and technological achievements of the Middle Ages through the life of a crusading astronomer-monk. "Falk’s bubbling curiosity and strong sense of storytelling always swept me along. By the end, The Light Ages didn’t just broaden my conception of science; even as I scrolled away on my Kindle, it felt like I was sitting alongside Westwyk at St. Albans abbey, leafing through dusty manuscripts by candlelight." —Alex Orlando, Discover Soaring Gothic cathedrals, violent crusades, the Black Death: these are the dramatic forces that shaped the medieval era. But the so-called Dark Ages also gave us the first universities, eyeglasses, and mechanical clocks. As medieval thinkers sought to understand the world around them, from the passing of the seasons to the stars in the sky, they came to develop a vibrant scientific culture. In The Light Ages, Cambridge science historian Seb Falk takes us on a tour of medieval science through the eyes of one fourteenth-century monk, John of Westwyk. Born in a rural manor, educated in England’s grandest monastery, and then exiled to a clifftop priory, Westwyk was an intrepid crusader, inventor, and astrologer. From multiplying Roman numerals to navigating by the stars, curing disease, and telling time with an ancient astrolabe, we learn emerging science alongside Westwyk and travel with him through the length and breadth of England and beyond its shores. On our way, we encounter a remarkable cast of characters: the clock-building English abbot with leprosy, the French craftsman-turned-spy, and the Persian polymath who founded the world’s most advanced observatory. The Light Ages offers a gripping story of the struggles and successes of an ordinary man in a precarious world and conjures a vivid picture of medieval life as we have never seen it before. An enlightening history that argues that these times weren’t so dark after all, The Light Ages shows how medieval ideas continue to color how we see the world today.
