"Countless books teach you the mechanics of magic, but very few teach how to develop your occult mental abilities so that you can perform magic effectively.
Before you perform spells and rituals, you need to develop your mind's muscles. Without mental preparation, you'll just go through the motions without any results. Everyone, regardless of experience or traditions, can learn from these exercises and gain the mental focus to make your magic much more effective.
Donald Tyson provides twelve chapters that each cover a different topic or type of occult skill—such as concentration, meditation, scrying, astral travel, and aura manipulation—and why it is necessary for better magic. Within each chapter, you'll find ten exercises to help develop the corresponding topic or skill. Magic comes from the self, and you need to work on yourself before you can cast spells that work. This book has everything you need to do serious magic."

Meanwhile, tension continues to build for Liam's family in Los Angeles. Mom and Dad are going to default on the mortgage. Older sister Hannah is fed up and ready to move herself to Maine, and little sister Sidney doesn't really get what's happening. Then Liam goes missing, and Angus decides he has to find him.
A realistic, heartfelt look at the complexities of family relationships and struggles. Along with Angus's lovable charm, sense of humor, and desire to stage his original play, Werewolf Hamlet is sure to win its audience—on and off the page—over."
"Enter the realm of the carnie king, Patty Conklin, the flamboyant founder of what would become the world's largest carnival company. Patty started on the mean streets of New York selling peanuts before becoming a a small-time operator. Winning the midway contract for the Canadian National Exhibition in 1937, he made it his personal world's fair. It became the foundation for his son and grandson to expand Conklin Shows until they were playing the biggest fairs and exhibitions throughout North America.
Carnie King begins with the birth of Joseph Renker to German immigrant parents, tells of his personal transformation into Patty Conklin, and follows his incredible life through to his death in 1970. It covers his company's history after Jim Conklin took over, expanded it beyond recognition, then handed it on to his own son.
Not only a history of Conklin Shows, Carnie King explores how midways work and their commercial and popular presence in North America. The story it tells is based on dozens of interviews with carnies and access to the Conklin archives. It includes anecdotes about a range of characters and insights about life on the midway. Carnie King is at once a revealing look at a unique part of twentieth-century culture and a vivid account of three generations of showmen and their dominance of midways across the continent."

But despite all the books and articles lamenting the crushing mental load and emotional labor women bear for their families, no one has come up with a plan to actually make things change. Until now. The Best Moms Don't Do it All is the first book that not only acknowledges the fact that moms are burning out, but shows you how to transfer responsibility for daily tasks from yourself to your partner and kids.

- How to manage resistant or traditionalist dads
Realistic and simple enough to implement in your home, The Best Moms Don't Do it All provides a roadmap for you to take your life back and proves that the happiest families share the work and the fun equally."

We are surrounded by emoji. They appear in politics, movies, drug deals, our sex lives, and more. But emoji's impact has never been explored in full.
