Seeking the Light of Justice by Barry Nadel
Seeking the Light of Justice by Barry Nadel
THE PROFESSOR IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE THIS TIME!
Prof. Yoshua Rosenberg, who has been studying the legends of the Light of Justice with his archaeologists for years, discovers the cover of General Aharon Dori’s Hoshiyan Chronicles in the binding of a 500-year-old book and publishes it on the Internet.
The release of the cover, intercepted by Vatican security, unleashes the wrath of the Church and the Pope, who had an ancient order to destroy the Chronicles or anything related to its author, resulting in the outbreak of the Vatican’s secret war against the Chronicles.
Clues lead the professor and his team to the study house where the chronicles in Spain were written, where he discovers a bomb planted by Basque separatists to destroy Spanish government offices.
During the excavation, they find a sealed room revealing the horrors of the Spanish Inquisition: forty-six Jewish bodies were left to suffocate.
They are perplexed when the deputy interior minister illegally arrests them and throws them into a Spanish prison.
What will happen to them now?

Author Bio:
Hal Adkins has done and been a lot of things over the decades. Worked at many interesting and not-so-interesting occupations, rode motorcycles, flew airplanes, went scuba-diving without actually knowing how to swim, parachuted out of a perfectly good airplane (once), and drove race cars a lot. Primarily, he has been a professional photographer, although writing has always been a keen point of interest when time allows between taking pretty pictures. A few years ago, okay, 12, he published a book of humor, some might call it more of an autobiography, aptly entitled Hal Adkins Ain’t Normal; he then set about writing his first novel. After the development of that one stalled, it was decided to begin anew and so spewed forth A Week and a Day. Now, it was a very low rate of spew, taking more time to finish than getting through high school. Perhaps paying better attention in English class would have been helpful. A prolific writer of fiction, he is not and prefers the term “methodical.” The storyline for this novel developed from a couple of “I wonder what would happen if,” scenarios intriguingly linked together. Following a period of consideration and procrastination, a more desirable beginning was found that moved the story into the realm of mystery and more. Hal hopes to pick up the pace in the future as he loves to tell stories and make up stuff.
The Shamanic Journey: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Shamanism
About The Shamanic Journey: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Shamanism
“This book, if you let it, will take you on a journey…you will experience first-hand the healing power of shamanism, and your eyes will be opened to a world of mystery and potential that has been there all along. You don’t need any special talents or powers, just an open mind. And you will trust this new way of being because you will personally experience it. To say that this will change your life for the better is a remarkable understatement.” – from “The Shamanic Journey”.
Many people feel a growing disenchantment with modern life; that something fundamental is missing or ‘wrong’. Our increased material wealth is making us less happy, not more. Mental health issues are on the rise, and we face an environmental crisis. Somehow, we have lost our way. People long for a deeper sense of connection, a greater purpose, and a more sustainable and natural way of living. Yet people are often unsure as to what they can do to find this. If you are ready, the practice of shamanism holds the answers.
In “The Shamanic Journey”, shamanic practitioner, teacher and psychotherapist, Paul Francis, offers a shamanic apprenticeship for our times. By building upon the work of Michael Harner, author of 1980’s classic ‘The Way of the Shaman’, Francis has created a practical, ethical and experiential guide. It is a ground-breaking and stand-out book on shamanism, written for both complete beginners and for anyone already with experience. At once both practical and deeply thought-provoking, this book examines how to make shamanic practice relevant and central to our modern-day lives.
For those new to the subject, the book is a grounded, easy-to-read and yet comprehensive introduction to the ancient knowledge, wisdom and practices of shamanism. In addition, it provides an easy-to-follow guide, with clearly-explained, practical exercises and suggestions about how to get started on the shamanic path.
Far more than just a beginner’s guide though, the book can be eye-opening to any open-minded shamanic practitioner. As a highly practical form of spirituality, our ancestors always adapted shamanism to the times and environment in which they lived. The book explores how, as we turned away from hunter-gathering, and with the rise of agriculture, domestication and “civilisation” we largely lost our connection with shamanism. This profoundly changed us, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually, and radically altered the environment around us. Facing the challenges of our times, the book discusses how we can reclaim shamanism and, most importantly, how to make it relevant to the changed times in which we now live, and how doing this may be crucial to our very survival and return to sanity.
In “The Shamanic Journey”, Paul Francis draws on his wealth of knowledge and experience in shamanism, anthropology and psychotherapy. Well researched and yet written in an accessible and conversational style, he combines these three elements into a shamanic practice that is spirit-led, down-to-earth, psychologically aware, ethical and compassionate. What emerges is a spiritual practice that is both deeply rooted in ancient wisdom, and one that we can use to heal not only ourselves, but society, and the planet.
The book is the first in the “Therapeutic Shamanism” series, a thorough, step-by-step guide to shamanic practice and the first to go into such detail and depth: an apprenticeship for modern times. The series consists of guides covering the full spectrum of Therapeutic Shamanism including: Soul Retrieval; Healing Ancestral and Family Wounds; Shamanism, Death and Dying; Plant-Spirit Shamanism; Shamanic Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Author Bio:
I grew up in the north of England. At the age of eighteen, I went to Lancaster University where I studied philosophy and social anthropology, primarily studying tribal (shamanic) cultures. After graduating I worked for a few years in a hospital, teaching sign language, and in my spare time studied complementary medicine, various spiritual traditions, and psychotherapy. I set up in private practice as a complementary medical practitioner and psychotherapist in the early 1980s, and gradually developed my shamanic practice. Eventually, in 2007, I founded the Three Ravens College of Therapeutic Shamanism. I published the first in the “Therapeutic Shamanism” series of books.
Although retired from one-to-one work now, I continue to teach and write, and develop the Therapeutic Shamanism approach. Otherwise, I lead a quiet life. When not working, I spend my days either on the beach or walking in the hills in beautiful North Wales where I now live, watching clouds and sunsets, gardening, cooking for my partner, holding her hand, reading, researching on the internet (there is so much I still want to learn and study!), thinking, laughing and crying, occasionally wrestling inner demons, doing nothing in particular, talking to my guides, feeling gratitude and wonder, and gazing adoringly at my four cats.

Hawaii’s Night Marchers: A History of the Huaka’i Pō by Robert Lopaka Kapanui and Tanya Kapanui
About Hawaii’s Night Marchers: A History of the Huaka’i Pō by Robert Lopaka Kapanui and Tanya Kapanui
The very idea of the Night Marchers tends to bring forth a level of curiosity and fear that surpasses nearly all other Hawaiian legends. Native Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians have witnessed the ghostly procession for over a hundred years, but the same question always arises: “Who are the night marchers?”
Hawaii’s legendary night marchers are processions of spirits walking along predetermined paths on certain nights of the month and continuing their duties in death, as they did in life. The lore states that if a person is caught in the path of the night marchers, it would mean imminent death for the unaware observer unless they follow a strict protocol.
As “Hawaii’s Ghost Guy,” Lopaka Kapanui has researched and collected hundreds of ghost stories from around the island state. He knew the legend of the night marchers but continued to see misinformation shared far and wide. So with his wife, Tanya Kapanui, the couple compiled the information they’ve learned into one concise account.
The beginning of the manuscript explores the legend as told by Hawaiian scholars and explains the importance of processions in ancient Hawaii. The ali‘i of bygone days were considered sacred and could not be looked upon by commoners. Indeed, if even a commoner’s shadow were to fall upon the sacred chief, it would mean immediate death for the unfortunate person. Therefore, these ali‘i, having compassion for their people, tried to travel most often at night in their sacred procession to avoid interrupting the commoners’ daily activities and risking their lives unnecessarily. In other ceremonial processions, participants must follow a strict protocol to avoid the gods’ displeasure and ensure the ceremony they are participating in is successful. The slightest mistake by anyone in the procession was often enough to break the sacred kapu and, as such, would sentence the kapu breaker to death.
The manuscript then describes ghosts and hauntings from a paranormal perspective, beginning with the establishment of the Society for Psychical Research in 1882. Founded by a group of professors, classical scholars, physicists, philosophers, and mathematicians, the SPR intended to investigate mesmeric, psychical, and spiritualist phenomena using purely scientific methods. Psychical research later became known as parapsychology, the study of psychic or psi phenomena. After nearly 140 years of studying reported ghost and psi phenomena around the world, researchers have given different definitions to the words ‘haunting’ and ‘apparition.’ Briefly, a mere ‘haunting’ is location-based and is like a visual recorder playing over and over again in a loop, like a movie stuck on repeat. The concept of an ‘apparition’ is directly related to the idea of life after death. One can think of an apparition as the personality or consciousness surviving the death of the body, and it is capable of interacting with the living. Through dozens of experience-centered narratives, we learn that Hawaii’s night marcher phenomenon differs depending on the particular march, which would categorize them as both ‘hauntings’ and ‘apparitions,’ depending on when the procession was seen and what effects they had on the witnesses.
The most significant portion of the manuscript describes the personal experiences of witnesses to the night marchers on six of the major Hawaiian islands. While people from different walks of life have shared their stories, the reader will see similarities in several tales. The Kapanuis explain what the Hawaiian moon phases have to do with the nightly processions and how to avoid being caught in the night marchers’ path.
The final chapter of the manuscript describes other spectral marches from around the world, including the continental U.S., Japan, Nepal, India, Europe, Switzerland, and the Iberian Peninsula. Of all the ghostly processions researched, the Kapanuis find that La Santa Compaña from the Iberian region seems to be the most similar to the phenomenon of Hawaii’s Night Marchers.

Author Bio:
Best known as “Hawaii’s Ghost Guy,” Master Storyteller Lopaka Kapanui, has been scaring people and sharing Hawaii’s stories for more than twenty-five years. A native Hawaiian born and raised on O‘ahu and spending his childhood vacations on Hawai‘i Island and Maui, Lopaka learned about his family’s history, customs and protocol, which were passed down to him in the traditional Hawaiian way, through mo‘olelo, from mouth to ear, sitting at the foot of his Mother and his Aunty as they related the lessons to him. He learned the significance of the proper prayers to offer in ceremonial blessings, to enter or leave a sacred place, to ask for protection or forgiveness, or before gathering greenery in depths of a Hawaiian forest, and the importance of intent. As a Master Storyteller, Lopaka has received a special citation from the Hawai‘i State Legislature in 2020 for perpetuating and celebrating local culture, history, language, and folklore through storytelling and knowledge of these Islands’ history and legends.
Born in Denver, Colorado and raised in a military family, Tanya Kapanui had the privilege of living in Colorado, Texas, and Germany before making Hawai‘i, where her parents were born and raised, her home for the last thirty years. As a lifelong horror aficionado, Tanya’s interest in the supernatural was established at a very young age, but it wasn’t until she was older that her interests expanded to native legends like the Filipino aswang and the Hawaiian mo‘o. With her husband, Robert Lopaka Kapanui, she runs their ghost tour business, Mysteries of Hawai‘i. When she’s not reading, or researching hauntings and ghost stories, Tanya can be found spending time with their amazing grandchildren.
