In the second installment of the bestselling Glittering Court series, Richelle Mead goes beyond the glitz and glamour, delving into the dark, political underbelly of their world through the eyes of one girl who dares to fight for her freedom. A refugee of war, Mira was cast out of her home country and thrust into another, where the conditions were inhospitable at best. In a life-altering twist of fate, she is given the chance to escape once more, and she takes it, joining the Glittering Court. For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. But for Mira, it means further persecution, not only from her fellow Glittering Court jewels, but from her suitors, as well--men she would potentially be expected to give her life to. By day, she goes through the motions, learning the etiquette and customs that will help to earn her anonymity, even making a couple true friends in the process, the forthright ladies' maid Adelaide and the ambitious laundress Tamsin. But by night, Mira hatches a different plan entirely--one that, if exposed, could get her hanged in the highest court of Adoria. Midnight Jewel is the extraordinary story of a girl with few options who courageously forges a new path, finding love, passion, lifelong friendships, and maybe even a way to freedom.

The Realization Into Hermetics Initiation And Masters Part 1 2 And 3 books is united here for preparation for the new book who is coming. In Initiation Into Hermetics Franz Bardon presented a system of practices graded by degrees to accompany the Adept from the simplest level to the most complex state, yet both the practices and teachings contained in his book function only as tools that only in hand Of someone able to use them correctly come to their ultimate goal. How many people have practiced so dedicatedly and still practice these techniques and fall short of what they hoped to achieve? How many years have you dedicated to this goal? In order to carry out the Great Work an unshakable determination is always necessary, but if you continue to use the same techniques always you will unfortunately always get the same results, how much time do you still believe you have in this life to achieve what you set out to achieve? Using improved techniques in the right way and improving them always more is what will lead to the dreamed goal and we have no time to lose. Among the Alchemists it was said that the philosopher's stone is like a forgotten treasure in a pit and that the more one tried to catch more the gap deepened and more roots appeared between them and their objective. That is exactly what has happened and has plagued many of the dedicated students of Hermetic both today and in the past ages, and the hard truth is made present because the path that can be followed does not lead to the True Path because this is something that presents itself Himself in his own way and with his Absolute Power, unquestioning Authority, being The Strong Force of All Strength, to teach you the means of how to arrive in this state of Supreme Bliss where the Universe converges to bless you is the purpose of this book. The Path to the Great Work is unique in its direction but multiple in its strands. Hermeticism is to follow this path by obtaining the union of all powers and balancing them both in a Passive Receptive and Active Aggressive manner, the union of the Elements and their Absolute Control over the protection of the Law of Manifestation of Polarity is the Realization of the Scepter of the Power and the full consecration of the Master in this art. The human being in his conscious state supports only a tiny fraction of the Cosmic Consciousness thus making it impossible for him alone to touch and unite with the higher powers, only with the application of the Law of Polarity in its deepest strand is obtained So your success, both your Conscious and Perceptible as well as your Unconscious and Imperceptible, must be directed towards achieving such a noble goal. For the vast majority of the uninitiated, what they do not perceive and which can not be touched or conceivable by them is not part of their world, practically for them is something that "does not exist" yet it is precisely this inconceivable and unexpected part that when presented In their lives it assaults to him of surprise and of fatal way. When a Higher Power manifests itself in the world it is only perceptible and comprehensible in its totality to those who are on the same level, the lower levels only perceive fractions, and the lower ones have never been able to comprehend it, and these which are so are Adapted so much to their material physical state that they disconnected completely forgot the Grandiosity from which they came, from the Power of their Microcosm and from their Sacred counterpart The Macrocosm. The Initiate was already able to apply the Law of Polarity and thus obtain and fix his own reintegration with the flow of Divine Providence in this world strengthening him with blessing and power, making his life be watched over by Superior and Absolutely Holy Forces, And now to consecrate his masters he needs to reintegrate with the foundation of this power so deeply that they will become more than inseparable. When he came into this world his Being in the process of incarnation was "turned away" from the Holy Powers, Forces and Plans, his vibrational state equaled to this time and finally to the material, social and emotional environment, then reborn, yet his Spirit in his state Always imperative and present directed him again by the experiences of his life and by the love of his heart to reintegrate and rise again reconnecting to the Sacred Plans, Forces and Powers thus extinguishing their pendencies with this world and allowing their Ascension, the first step in this Sacred Way has already been given in the last Book with the True Initiation and now its Kingdom must be re-erected here in its fullness to obtain the Master, only from this conquest that can go forward and obtain Sacred Realization. The Universal Fire establishing itself in the Magus as it was shown in the practices of the last book, grants it abilities and powers that for many were unknown and sometimes unbelievable, make use of its forces and carry on with all its Power, we will still speak in the First part of this book how to stabilize and deepen still further in this force, there is nothing in the world that can be compared to it, this Force and this Power is the Foundation for your salvation and after the Realization you can obtain with it the Supreme Most Holy Sacred Sword, And in obtaining this Upper and Crushing Force his horizons widened beyond the barriers of the mortal world and at this point he could "Open the Way" to his beloved brethren who, still trapped, the chains of the world follow in the midst of great sufferings with unshakeable strength and will on the way Of the Great Work. When the time comes, just as I am doing to you, my holy brother, lift your Supreme Most Holy Sacred Sword and Walk the Path for them. For the Initiate who has already built the pillars of the Universal Elements, Fire and Air, their resources will be expanded here so that they can safely obtain the pillar of the Universal Water element. This is the next step. Fire is Strength and Power. Air is Wisdom and Water is Universal Love from which Blessing, Healing and Infinite Life is born, uniting Human Heart with Divine Heart, micro and macro, and the infinite power that is born from this state, being in the Now living consciously and unconsciously in the deepest center of All Powerful Superior loving deeply and generating strength and being deeply loved thus generating courage. By locating and accepting the love of the beings of the universe, accepting that there are forces and powers that through Divine Grace and its infinite power, mercy and strength, protect and bless you deeply, recognizing and reconnecting with this Supreme Power and feeling it fully. By maintaining this power and this state of receptivity, feel this active power deeply in your life, present, past and future, conscious and unconscious, Lucky Success and Well-Being, alive, permanent and real.

There was once a poor little girl called Karen. In summer, she walked barefoot and in winter, she wore clogs that hurt her feet. She had no choice, it was all she had. Dame Shoemaker wanted to help her and sewed, as best she could, a pair of red shoes. When she wore them for the first time, Karen’s life took an unexpected turn. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.
