Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can an invitation to the world's most exotic pleasure island lead to obsession and murder? Six of the world's most powerful men and six of the world's most beautiful and resourceful women are about to find out. Only one place on earth can serve the needs and fantasies of Thoros Gagarian, one of the world's richest men. That place is Mora Utu -- the Playground of the Gods -- the most luxurious and seductive private preserve anywhere on the planet. Only one challenge can rouse the appetites of Thoros' five closest friends: men of wealth, accomplishment, and power. That challenge is to join Thoros in celebrating the completion of Mora Utu in a week of sex and sunshine. Each guest is required to bring a trophy woman beautiful enough to grace the island and the men's beds. But the women haven't been told the agenda and they don't consider themselves pawns in a rich man's game. So when one of them becomes the victim of sudden violence, they leave the men for the jungle and band together to teach them a lesson they'll never forget. Suddenly, six smart, tough, and resourceful women must call on skills they've always had -- for martial combat, for negotiation, for sabotage -- to use in ways they never dreamed. They'll be guided in their crusade by a wise and ageless woman with a secret, ancient agenda of her own. And finally, they'll be forced to consider uniting with the men who have become their adversaries, when, without warning, the jungle threatens to consume them all.

Living in a realm beyond earth, gods descend for three day Vacations, then take over the bodies and lives of their human Hosts through the act of Possession. They then enjoy all the pleasure and adventure that earth has to offer, but without the consequences.There are, however, rules that Visitors to god's Playground must obey. In the case of god #201, a repeat Visitation results in a struggle with these rules and his own existence.Returning to the Playground to attend the funeral of his last Host, god #201 becomes involved with an Earthbound, Evangeline. She knows too much about the reason her boyfriend was murdered and is on the mob's hit list. When #201 agrees to help her, this decision sends them both on a high-stakes adventure. Soon #201 has problems of his own, as he begins to break the rules of the Playground and draw the attention of both the Controller and the god Police. Original motivated by a godly wager he made back at his heavenly home, #201 attempts to manipulate and control Evangeline in order to win his bet. However, as they grow closer, his motives change, and his choices lead him down a path of self-discovery. On the run with Evangeline, #201 begins to learn more about god's Playground and his own past. He starts to question what he's always been told about gods like himself, heavenly existence, the Playground, and their human Hosts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New commentaries on Aleister Crowley’s Book of the Law reveal how it is connected to both Right- and Left-Hand Paths • Examines each line of the Book of the Law in the light of modern psychology, Egyptology, Gurdjieff’s teachings, and contemporary Left-Hand Path thought • Explores Crowley’s identification with the First Beast of Revelations as well as his adoption of the Loki archetype for becoming a vessel of love for all humanity • Recasts the Cairo Working as a text of personal sovereignty and a relevant tool for personal transformation • Includes commentary on the Book of the Law by Dr. Michael A. Aquino, who served as High Priest of the Temple of Set from 1975 to 1996 Received by Aleister Crowley in April 1904 in Cairo, Egypt, the Book of the Law is the most provocative record of magical working in several hundred years, affecting not only organizations directly associated with Crowley such as the Ordo Templi Orientis but also modern Wicca, Chaos Magic, and the Temple of Set. Boldly defying Crowley’s warning not to comment on the Book of the Law, Ipsissimus Don Webb provides in-depth interpretation from both Black and White Magical perspectives, including commentary from Dr. Michael A. Aquino, who served as High Priest of the Temple of Set from 1975 to 1996. Webb examines each line of the Book in the light of modern psychology, Egyptology, existentialism, and competing occult systems such as the teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff and contemporary Left-Hand Path thought. Discarding the common image of Crowley formulated in a spiritually unsophisticated time when the devotee of the Left-Hand Path was dismissed as a selfish evil doer, Webb unveils a new side of Crowley based on his adoption of the Loki archetype and his aim to become a vessel of love for all humanity. In so doing, he shows how the Book of the Law is connected to both Right- and Left-Hand Paths and reveals how Crowley’s magical path of mastery over the self and Cosmos overthrew the gods of old religion, which had kept humanity asleep to dream the nightmare of history. Providing in-depth analysis of Crowley’s sources and his self-identification with the First Beast of Revelation from a profound esoteric perspective, Webb takes his views out of the Golden Dawn matrix within which he received the Book of the Law and radically recasts the Cairo Working as a text of personal sovereignty and a relevant tool for personal transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sutton-Smith focuses on play theories rooted in seven distinct "rhetorics"--The ancient discourses of fate, power, communal identity, and frivolity and the modern discourses of progress, the imaginary, and the self. In a sweeping analysis that moves from the question of play in child development to the implications of play for the Western work ethic, he explores the values, historical sources, and interests that have dictated the terms and forms of play put forth in each discourse's "objective" theory
