Inspiration Books

I love the way Echo writes. It's as if she's sitting beside you chatting like a new friend. Very easy read.
I found her story to be very helpful and informative and I shared this book with a friend as soon as I was done with it.

Echo Bodine writes her books so they are easy to read and understand. Pays to read this book occasionally just to remind yourself that you don't have 100% control over your life.

I loved this book, couldn't set it down!

This book is a good reminder that we need to get back to the basics of life and begin to trust ourselves again. With the over whelming information we get from the media: TV, Newspapers, cell phones, work, etc. We need more than ever to sit down and listen to our inner voice that never gets a chance give us the most important information we need....the God within! Love this little book.

This is the second book by Echo that I have read. I have sentences underlined, pages dog-eared, and notes in the margins. I can't explain why you should buy the book, but I was curious. I love the way she writes, and I have truly connected to her books. Best of luck on your life's journey.

Over the past decade or so I have read a number of Stuart's books, and this one is by far my favorite for two reasons. First, he addresses a number of metaphysical subjects in very enertaining and informative way. Second, he brings some humor to the discussions that at times made me laugh out loud. I remember that distinctly because the first time I read it I was on an overnight flight from Chicago to Rome, and the flight attendant actually had to ask me to stop laughing so loud!

Is this a good book for someone new to the spiritual path? Probably not, because Stuart is at times pretty far out there on the "metaphysical curve." However, in my view it sure is a good title for anyone who has been walking this path for a spell, and that's why I include it as a "must read" in the recommended reading section of my own book.

This book is entertaining as well as thought provoking. It discusses our ability to transform our lives by detaching from our insane egoistic demands. It brings us back to reality which is the unitary consciousness. Wilde writes in a stimulating, humorous, and simple manner which helps in the readers ability to apply the principles discussed in the book. This is one of the 12 books I suggest in my own book due to the inspiration it has provided in my life. Highly recommended if you choose to transcend the ego and enjoy true and lasting peace and tranquility in your life.

I absolutely love this book. The way I used it was to read one of the 33 Steps every morning and think about them and incorporate them into my day. The steps vary from not defending something, to philosophical discipline, to centering the mind. Taoism at it's finest. Highly recommended.

A self-help book based on taoism, spiritual, very easy to read and applicable. It made me very calm while reading it and I related to the author's views of spirituality as not something institutional and external. It offers very interesting advice on how to control your ego and live a more fulfilling life.

Stuart Wilde is an interesting bloke. He has a knack of conveying timeless wisdom and deep spiritual truths in a very casual, conversational manner. He also describes new slants on traditional wisdom in a refreshing way. The meat of Wilde's teachings will provide great fodder for the soul for those who are ready.

Personally, I'm not convinced that Wilde has reached this particular level of spiritual advancement via a natural process of growth, i.e. via many lifetimes on earth. He seems too much of a scally, and I suspect that his psychic faculties have opened somewhat prematurely in this lifetime. Some of his suggestions and ideas are simply not wise. For example, Wilde suggests that if we work in an office then it's a good idea to turn up to the office every now and again dressed as a chicken. He claims that this would affirm the point that `I am a free spiritual being with no restrictions; I am who I am' etc.

Even though I disagree with Wilde's view that dressing as a chicken to work is a good thing, (the inner experience is what really counts, and we can achieve this regardless of what we wear, and without trying to prove a point externally), this wayward aspect of Wilde's attitude is what makes him so unique and intriguing. In this book, such views are outweighed by profound wisdom and deep spiritual truth, and overall it's a read for anyone significantly advanced along the path.

This book is great. It teaches you how to overcome your procrastination, based on your personality style. What is a good tip for me (a perfectionist) may not be a good one for someone else (a crisis-maker). The author described me to a tee in several scenarios.

This was not my first nor last book on procrastination. If you're like me, you read self-help books seeking out the little nugget of gold that is going to help make your life better once you put into practice your newfound wisdom. That's just what I find with Linda Sapadin's book.

While others may frown upon her mode of classification, its forgivable given the mountainous job it is to delve into the psychology of just one person. As a procrastinator, I used books on organization, goal setting and self-motivation. But Sapadin's book helped me to locate the "real" reason I was accomplishing less than I am fully capable of achieving.

I joyfully recommend this book to anyone still grappling with issues of procrastination. You may not like being stereotyped, but your can easily overlook that once you get the results you're after, less procrastinating and more "getting things done".

I have mixed feelings about this book (I guess a three star review usually means that).

If you are just realizing that you procrastinate, then this is a good book to start with - it puts a large focus on identifying styles of procrastination. This can be useful, and the stories - that seemed all too believable - that emphasize the effects of procrastination definitely make an impact.

However, if you are pretty aware of your styles of procrastination and thought-habits around it (I was when I read this), then I am not sure that it is very helpful. For example, when I took the "style quiz", I found that I scored fairly highly for several styles, but not super-highly for any of them. So... everything "sort of" applies... which means that the division into styles was only a bit helpful for me.

I didn't find that this book led to significant changes in habits or significant new insights. Still, some of the stories have stayed with me, so... it's a three star book.

If you are just at the stage of admitting that you procrastinate - well, I'd say buy this book! Otherwise, don't...

As a lifelong procrastinator on her way down the hill, I have read MANY books on this subject as I try to conquer my problem. This book is the best for me. Others who criticize the categorization may not realize that no one fits into one niche. Because I fit into three categories, I do the exercises for all of them. The visualization exercises are so powerful they bring me to tears! I don't understand why, as they are abstract, but my reaction tells me they are hitting the mark.

I have improved my productivity greatly by DOING the exercises in this book. For me, learning the causes behind my behavior helped me to make better use of my time, most days now! For the rest of them, I have learned to be more forgiving and not become frozen in the self-blame and guilt that contribute to the problem. Each day is not just another day to put things off, but another day to try again!

This was my first,unfortunatly, book on procrastination, and absolutly the worst book on the subject. How simplistic to divide procrastination into six personality styles! Don't try to pigonhole yourself with silly labels! Offers very little reletively to other books on the subject, which can suggest many rich, insightful and even clever ways on becoming productive. Good news is - the only way is up.

I read this book when I was 19 and it changed my life and way of thinking. I am now 30 and still refer back to it.

This is a great book.....many lessons to be learned from it especially in regards to understanding yourself better and understanding relationships with others as well as with God to a much higher degree

I have actually been through a long period of spiritual chaos. I have owned this book in the past. I also owned many other books that are of this kind. I thought that this book would be helpful because it was written by a psychologist. This book is actually useless. The best thing to do in times of turmoil is to keep things SIMPLY. That is the best solution. Think in a positive way but not to the extreme end that is advocated in all these self improvement books which are actually self DESTRUCTION books.
For those who question my opinion, I have been severely depressed for over 6 years. I stop being depressed back in 2003. I am currently a psychology major. REAL psychology books are VERY different from these SHAM books.
I hope my review have helped someone. If you have books like this, you should throw them away.

This book is a guide to keep one on the spiritual path. It enables us to view ourselves as spiritual beings first and then as physical beings.It has helped me find meaning to my existence and become a more caring and loving person. A great work of inspiration.Everyday Miracles: Stories That Touch Your Heart

I received this book thinking that I had ordered an audiobook. I
started to read it and felt that I had read and seen this material
in Dyer's other self help books. I recognized some material from the
101 ways to transform your life. I put the book down and could not
finish it. It seemed repetitous because I have read a lot of Dyer's
material. I love Wayne Dyer but this book just did not seem fresh. Again,
it always depend on the person. Someone else may pick it up and love it.
If you have read Dyer's other material then I think you will agreed it
just is not fresh or a fresh approach to the same material. F.J.

When my son died in 1988 I was given several books about death and dying but I could never get past the first few pages before losing interest. When I opened this book, after the first few pages I knew that the author had an idea how I was feeling and finished it - it is the only book I have ever read on this subject and I remember that it helped me realize that what I was feeling was "normal", if there is such a feeling after losing a child. Since my son died I have known too many people that have lost children and this is the book I buy for them. If you have lost a child or have a friend or aquaintance that has lost a child I believe that this book will help.

I have to highly recommend this book for a bereaved parent. It made me realize that the things that are happening to me and my family, happen to others and I am no alone. I can't say enough about it.

I received this book from a very good friend,when my son died. It was so helpful to me during that horrific time. Since then I have purchased four more of these books to give to my friends that found themselves in the same situation I was. Losing a child is absolutely the worst thing that could happen to a parent. This book will help in a small way to get parents through some of those rough times.

I thought that this book might be dated, however it reads like good medicine for a wound few of us acknowledge. My wife had five miscarriages, a couple were more than three months along; plenty of time to get our hopes up. Each time we attended to her needs, physical and emotional. I stuffed my disappointment and sense of loss. While reading this book I got a wealth of information about how to work through my grief around these losses.

Shortly after the death of our son in 1977, I saw Harriet Sarnoff Schiff interviewed about this book on one of the morning news shows. I immediately ordered this book, and it became an invaluable tool for healing from the terrible pain of losing a child for both my husband and me.

As time has gone forward, I find myself giving a copy of this book to people who have experienced the loss of a child. It continues to be a book that offers concrete help to those of us who have endured this devastating experience.

I just ordered another copy. I will hand it to a young woman who is exactly the same age I was when I first read it years ago. My arms will wrap around her as I struggle to find the best way to extend my loving concern to her and her husband. Beyond that hug, this book is the kindest expression of sympathy I have ever found.

This book is really helpful. A lot of patterns, I'm very happy for diagrams, it's more clear and practical for me. And the book is very big, great quality of paper and print, so it would be nice gift for any crocheter.

What a great book. I already have so many ideas that I have started a long to do list. I definitely have my moneys worth.

Designer Sasha Kagan creates a fine crochet reference book with CROCHET INSPIRATION, a gathering of designs organizing some 200 of her swatch creations into four categories for eleven new projects. Some basic familiarity with crochet instruction abbreviations will lend to a quick understanding of the different crochet techniques presented here, while color close-up photos allow for easy assessment of project complexity and achievement. It's an excellent book for any crocheter who would move to the next level - and for collections catering to them.

This is a book you need in your collection. It's one you'll reach for when you want to work with a new stitch, pattern or motif. The pictures are very clear and the choices of yarn are inspiring.

I initially checked out this book from my local library. Once I was able to really get into it, I was hooked. My favorite feature of this book would probably be the very beautiful, colorful & LARGE pictures for each stitch. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I also like how all the different stitches are divided into chapters. So if u want to learn some new ways to make a granny square or create a pretty flower just go to that section. My only dislike are the patterns given. None really are my thing, but all the various designs given should inspire you. Which, I guess was the authors point!

Mustard Seeds is a little gem to be cherished. I love all of Matthew Kelly's books. He is truly blessed by God.

Fantastic & very insightful. This is a great way to start off your day. This book brings focus and meaning into your daily life. Mustard Seeds is the kind of book that you need to read slowly, reflect & reread throughout the day. It helps you to stop & reflect upon your life, the people around you and things you simply take for granted.

Also, I highly recommend my favorite book by Matthew Kelly - "The Rhythm of Life - Living Everyday with Passion & Purpose." It will change your life forever.

Daily wisdom from Matthew Kelly, one of the most fascinating and enriching writers on Catholicism and daily life that leads to Rome. When you need a pick me up .... try these seeds ... and watch the fruit they bear.

Excellent food for thought with so much more to offer, the simple interpretations and observations found within this little book are perfectly presented for challenging your growth in spiritual understanding, personal relationships and interactions. It's a great collection of insight to fuel self-improvement by encouraging prayer and deep thinking in your quiet moments of silence.

The book has a very fitting introduction to the author, but the real gem of it all is the author's messages and motivational reflections. Broken down into short, poignant captions or stories, one found under each day of the month, [excluding a leap year] and range from a simple sentence to a couple of paragraphs in length. Most are direct and straight forward in design, others are more complex for pondering, but all will provoke the mind. It's a wonderful source that does not become exhaustible, remains timeless year after year. Repeat through the book annually and the words will become embedded in your thoughts, and with it, will come a new generation of discoveries in how the knowledge can be applied to your own life all over again.

Instead of just strictly reading one by one on a daily basis, I'll sometimes keep reading through a whole month's worth of passages until I come across a statement that stands out in my mind, persuading me to meditate on it. Either way you choose to use it, the book is fairly easy to relate to and the concepts are just right for contemplation. Keep them in the back of your mind for inspiration and share with others.

If you're familiar with Matthew Kelly or not, anyone interested can plant these seeds of wisdom in their life and gain from them. The book is a very recommendable buy.

This book has changed my life. With every daily thought, I see myself looking at things in a whole different way.

Close encounters
By Jeff Minick

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Skywalker: Close Encounters on the Appalachian Trail by Bill Walker. Indigo Publishing, 2007. 224 pages.

Bill Bryson's account of his time on the Appalachian Trail, A Walk in the Woods, revealed that the chief amusements of the Trail are not the flowers, trees, peaks or bears, but the other human beings encountered on the trail. Katz in particular, Bryson's fat and funny companion on the trail, stays in the minds of readers longer than the descriptions of the weather or history of the Appalachian Trail.

Bill Walker's Skywalker: Close Encounters on the Appalachian Trail (Indigo Publishing Group, ISBN 1-934144-26-6, $19.95) follows this same path -- forgive the pun -- but with even more of an eye for his fellow hikers as opposed to the terrain. In his description of his own hike -- unlike Bryson, Walker hikes the entire trail -- Walker does tell us much about the flora and fauna of the trail (he understandably seems concerned about bears). He gives us, as did Bryson, information about the building of the Trail and its history to the present. He tells us how miserable the rain can be, of sleet storms in North Carolina in late April, of steep climbs and rocky beds.

Despite such hardships, the Appalachian Trail attracts more hikers with each passing year. Near the beginning of the book, Walker points out that the annual hiker population by 2005 had reached five million people, a figure which readers are left to assume includes day hikers as well as thru-hikers. Walker likes company on the trail, and few days seem to pass when he must hike alone. He gives us a sense of how crowded the trail can become with passages like this one:

"Stories abounded on the trail of shelters so densely packed that everybody has to sleep sideways ... I never got in one that completely crowded, but this evening was the closest thing to it. We looked like circus clowns we were so packed in, with the hoods of our sleeping bags cinched in the cold."

Walker's descriptions of his fellow hikers are the best part of this fine book. Most of them have nicknames -- Camel and Bear, Pee Wee, Study Break, Nurse Ratchet -- that sum up part of their character. In describing them, Walker gives a sense of the comradeship that builds on the trail, of impromptu groups that form and then disintegrate, with companionship often determined by the pace set by different hikers. Some of these hikers have walked thousands of miles on the Trail, and from them readers receive good advice. "You can never go too slowly up a hill," one of them says.

One of the funniest scenes in Skywalker occurs in Hot Springs, N.C., when Walker is approached by Tanya, "a tall, leggy brunette." In the first few minutes of their meeting, Tanya explains why she receives her motel room free of charge, saying of the owner: "The deal is, and this is the third time I've stayed here, but he gets to feel my breasts for five minutes." Walker and Tanya then go for supper at the Bridge Street Café, where Tanya calls out lewd jokes to the entire restaurant until asked to leave by the manager. Walker finally manages to slip away from her and go to his own bed.

Other encounters are equally amusing. Walker describes a group of nine males in their 20s who have acquired the nickname "Sleazebags."

"Finally, I came upon the infamous Sleazebags. They were milling around Brown Mountain Creek Shelter, girding for the climb that lay ahead. Sure enough there were nine males, just as advertised. They had picked up the Sleazebags moniker because of the extra-short shorts they wore and because of their cavalier attitude toward women. One trail wit had even described them as `a posse of hikers' ... All night I felt like I was in a junior high school locker room. Every girl on the trail was analyzed from head to toe."

Bill Walker is himself as eccentric as the people he describes. He is a man named Walker who loves to walk, a living reproof to Shakespeare's negatively-answered "What's in a name?" He is 6'll," which surely makes him one of the tallest hikers ever to make the trail (Skywalker's cover is a camera shot of Bill Walker standing atop a mountain with his upper body split by clouds, an eye-catching photograph that also reveals the author's delightful sense of humor). He is a middle-aged businessman who had never spent a night outdoors before making the hike. Finally, he has a real talent for capturing the people he meets on the trail.

Skywalker does have mistakes. In referring to the Sleazebags, Walker writes that "hanging out with the Sleazebags was like a modern-day rendition of Hemingway's famous short story, Men Without Women, which was not a short story, but a collection of stories. He later writes of Antietam, the Civil War battlefield which is a part of the Appalachian Trail, that 25,000 soldiers died there on Sept.16, 1862; he clearly mistakes the word casualties -- killed, wounded, and missing -- for deaths.

But these are small details that have little to do with the Appalachian Trail. Priced in hardcover at only $19.95, Skywalker is a bargain. Even more, Skywalker's humor, its delight in human foibles, and its observations about human nature should appeal to a broad audience.

Bill Walker tells an interesting tale of his adventures of hiking the Appalachian Tale. Sounding more like a "how NOT to" book than a guidebook is appealing and gave an incredible look at the characters of the people who take on the adventure of the AT. With the stories of his life on the trail and the people he meets he brings to reality the determination and commitment it takes to take on an adventure of this magnitude.
His vivid descriptions of life on the trail is informative and entertaining for the armchair adventurer like myself, tantilizing a wonderlust for hiking.

What is the proper protocol when confronting a bear in the wild? Does one run, play dead, or talk the bear into leaving? SKYWALKER leaves one convinced that Bill Walker could not only convince the bear to stick around, he could probably talk it into sharing a beer with him. This wonderful read is down-to-earth and connects the readers with the reality of what it takes to walk 2,200 miles through the Appalachian region in a summer.
His story is engaging and quite funny.
Mr. Walker sets out on this journey as most do, with little experience and way too much information. It seems everybody he deals with is an expert on how to hike the trail, even if they have never set foot in the woods.
His personal encounters with the variety of folks on the trail make for a very intriguing story, one that captivates the reader, right from the first page. Hikers get "trail names", or nicknames, and some of his friends can make you really wonder about the folks on the trail: "Nurse Ratchet, "The Gang Of Ten", "Mayfly", "Crucible", and "Colonel Mustard", just to name a few, give a "Disneyesque" atmosphere to the every day grind that is a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. As for Bill's name "Skywalker", at six-feet, eleven-inches, and a last name of "Walker", it was a natural!
Allow some time to sit down and really enjoy this adventure, you'll be glad you did.
Oh, and as for the bear, you'll have to read the book to find out for yourself!

It's said that books can take us anywhere we want to go. Have you ever wanted to walk across the sky above it all? Gaze down upon the earth's majesty like a bird? Come along with "Skywalker" and you can.
Have you ever imagined yourself a story-hero pitted against the mighty forces of nature and exotic beasts and emerging the victor? Or beaten by the folly of your own limitations? Come along with "Skywalker" and you will.
Have you ever dreamed of experiencing a deeper understanding of mankind's role in the Nature we reside in? Walk along with "Skywalker" and you have. Walk in the sky, stand on a mountain summit a while, and against all odds, realize the power held in a desire, a fantasy, or a dream, and acting upon it.

The Appalachian Trail is 2,175 miles of mostly rugged, rocky, and hostile terrain. It is consistently more inclined then the Rockies or the Sierras. It stretches from Springer Mountain, Georgia across fourteen states to Mount Katahdin, Maine. It's described by the author as "a fairyland of of silvery summits that overlook shimmering bodies of water nestled deep in the forests of solitude, where moss and lichen floors stir the depths of even the most hard bitten souls."
To walk it, is a feat for even the most experienced hiker. To 'thru-hike' it, is accomplished by few of the many who try. When Bill Walker, a southern Georgia flatland native, challenged this mountainous spine that runs nearly the length of the east coast less Florida, his hiking experience consisted of ten years on the streets of Chicago where he walked to and from work to avoid the paralyzing rush hour traffic. Which is not such a feat at all for a man almost seven feet tall. Not to mention that his experience in sleeping under the stars consisted of one night in his sister's backyard as a 'practice' run.
Having walked on this trail myself in the mountains of North Carolina, I wondered, would his 6'11" height help or hinder him climb a mountain? Would his inexperience with the great outdoors force him to an early exit? Or would pure will and determination carry him to unknown heights? I was soon to find out.
Skywalker's ( Bill's so apt 'trail' name) journey is a page turner that will have you entranced even if your greatest outdoor adventure has been an afternoon nap in the hammock under a shade tree.
You will shiver from the bone chilling cold, feel the agony of bruised and bleeding feet, swat at imaginary mosquito swarms around your head, jump at a sudden loud noise in the back yard, and throw any Poptarts that may be residing in your cupboard to the backyard critters.
You'll envision a mountain ledge where one misstep could end in tragedy, traverse fields of rocks so plentiful each pace could be an injury. You'll almost smell swamps almost primeval. You'll become one with the elements, literally absorb them into yourself and hope you survive. You'll live with the wildlife in their territory, where they rule! You'll forge raging whitewater rapids, yet swear to never waste another drop of water in your life.
Between the covers of this book, you'll experience what it is to really live life. To go the extra mile, to dig one gasp deeper. You'll gain an awe for the majesty, and the mystery, of the Orb we tred upon. But best of all, you'll learn the power held in a dream. And in a man courageous enough to dream one and act upon it.

FIBERS IN THE WEB

This book has a workbook that the more you put into it the more you'll get out. It is very easy to read but I need to reread it for there are alot of new ideas here. Like Heaven on Earth or that we are really more spiritial than physical. Not just this book but Karen Bishop was recommended to me by a friend, let me do the same for you. After all aren't we all in search of Truth.
veritas Perry,

Karen once again presents a wonderful book of understanding why we are really here. Why we choose to come here before we were even born into this life and what our true life purpose is. Through easy thought provoking questions you will finally see your own true life purpose unfold before you. A great book and a real eye opener. If you ever wondered why you are here, this book will open wide that perverbial door! It will amaze you. A great purchase well worth reading!

I found this book so empowering,my search to find my Soul Purpose is over.As I read this book and answered the questions,I started to remember and at end of the book I got to put it all together.
I have read many books on this subject and this is the one for remembering your soul purpose.

I have quite a few books on evocation most make no sencse at all ironicall between this and someone else Ceremonial Magic & The Power of Evocation by Joseph C. Lisiewski, between the two books using such books as 5th and 6th books of mosus,lemegeton,greater keys. are more possible the only reason its not a full 5 stars is some vagueness in some parts.

The visualization tec is great to reach others levels of visuals, the sigils are great and easie to apply(ps use sculpy for temporary sigils since paper is to haphazard to keep around they come in a variety of colors and the spirits seem to like them, one wouldn't quit looking at it(water spirit's easily distracted)

I didnt think dijin was as elderly as konstantinos comented him to be maybe 40 ish at best.
i suggest someone get these two books since trust me doing one half cocked sucks the reprocusions can be drastic at best.
So beginners and veterens alike should at least keep it in their library.

Don't waste your time or money, people. This book is pure drivel. There is not one original concept set forth here. Everything contained within it can be found in dozens of other, much better written books.

The whole design and layout reminds me of Halloween-edition candy; same contents and ingredients of all the other candies, but with eye-pleasing, spooky packaging. That's all this is; re-printed and widely available information, with a "gothic" spin on its presentation.

Not only are there countless pages of prepatory exercises (which you can find on almost any occult-oriented website), the work itself is constipated with tired, self conscious post-Catholic dogmas. There are constant pleas to the reader that "magick" is not "evil", etc., etc.,. This tone is very condescending, annoying, and even sickening. A good three fourths of this book is absolute filler. One can't shake the fact that this book was made for pure profit. I'd be willing to bet that most of the crap printed here can be found in entirety in Konstantinos' other silly books.

Avoid. If a copy of this book does somehow fall into your hands, flip through it, take notes on how NOT to write an "occult text", burn it, then defecate on it.

This one ain't bad.... it jumps on the exercises needed for summoning spirits (including the greater banishing rituals and the middle pillar ritual). The rituals and exercises are pretty easy to follow, and thats always good. I gave it 4 stars because the majority of the book was ripped from the golden dawn style of practice.... I've read all of this before. I like it for it's organization and simplicity. There's little talking and alot more action. I'd recommend this for those of us who already have a somewhat good amount of information, because this book has little.

This book is great for those who want a little more detail in their workings of the Craft. It gives step by step instruction and more detailed explanations for the why as well well as the what. Enjoyable and informative.

I have had this book in my occult library for a number of years,
and I have to admit two things. When the weather is cold, wet and
spooky outside, this is one of the books I seem to be always
reaching for. Ok that doesn't sound that magickal,but,in actuality, mood is a critical element of real magick. Secondly,
there are a number of interesting sigils in this book, and I once
conjured the king Bael using this book,in a very interesting conjuration to visible form, so the sigils work pretty good. I also like the illustrations, back again to that "old black magick" feeling, I suppose.
