The main focus of this bracelet are the genuine faceted oval Botswana Agate gemstones with banded colors of greys, whites, and browns. Accenting the Botswana agates are genuine Swarovski crystals in Aquamarine Satin and sterling silver bead caps. The toggle clasp is an oval sterling silver filigree design.
The bracelet measures 8" (20.3cm) in length, but fits like a 7 1/4" (18.4cm) bracelet.
In the pictures, the toggle looks too big for the bracelet but it isn''''t. On, it is very nice and balanced.

Sorry for the small photo.
I should take a pic of my own copy of this book.
Author Craig Conley's most recent book is the above title, a very humorous series of essays, experiments and actual OBJECTS (?!) all addressing metaphysical ideas in literature--but in an EXTREMELY playful way.
I LOVE this book.
Okay, I'll admit complicity since the author included some writing by myself on the same topic in more than one place in this book.
It was actually a surprise to discover this when the book arrived on my birthday, a complete coincidence of the sort Professor Oddfellow (author Craig Conley's literary alter ego) seems to have no problem introducing into the universe's quantum mechanical weave on a daily--no, hourly--basis.
The book can be found here: www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=node%3D11871&fiel...
And Professor Oddfellow's deliciously outre and justly celebrated blog can be found here: www.oneletterwords.com/weblog/
The Abecedarian blog has earned Craig fans worldwide.
Conley is also a lexicographer and a magician in more than just words--more than just a logodaedalus.
He's known to consort with and speak publicly to various coalitions of professional magicians in Las Vegas.
This is why I would recommend reading the man's fascinating words, but keeping far afield of his actual person, as the "Vegas" and "magicians" connection should make you "damn nervous."
(I'm kidding, Craig! I love the book.)
Here's a brief but perceptive review of the book by Bernie DeKoven: www.deepfun.com/fun/2013/01/scholarly-fun/
So says one of the many zany characters, the Professor, in this 1991 classic by famied Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami, that makes your head spin as he weaves a tale of two cities, inside one mind, and takes us down the rabbit-hole with him.
Murakami writes with an all-world sensibility and a world beating imagination, creating twin worlds in the mind of his unnamed protagonist, a 35-year old information analyst in modern-day Tokyo who finds himself in the middle of an information war with his skewered consciousness the battleground. The life of the mind is Murakami's preoccupation here, as his main character wages a battle in an alternative consciousness self-constructed to sagfeguard himself from the scientific experiments that have brought him to the center of attention here. The ever-present influences of Western cinema, literature & music, classical and modern, pervade Murakami's fluid, challenging prose but fortunately don't taint the conclusion of his novel, which leaves the reader guessing as future of our anti-hero.
Theme: ΜΕΤΑΦΥΣΙΚΟ (Metaphysical) – Orpheus Peridis
Luna, my Luna, you glow upon my path in the night...
Amara eeps softly from her position by the taxi. "Ah, umm, you asked us to find things worthy of this new family, so to speak. I noticed that there weren't many supplies in case someone got hurt." She lowers her ears a moment before speaking again. "I originally planned on searching for old bed frames or something I could refurbish to build a medical suite of sorts. Oddly enough though, I ran into a vampiric lycan with Black Market connections. She gave me this kit, and as you can see, it's well stocked."
Trinity raises her eyebrows looking impressed. "Very good kitten," she says softly giving her a light smile. "I'm rather impressed," she admits. Reaching up, having flickered her eyes to see Ioh's ears droop, she touches one of his ears, comfortingly caressing them with one hand to the tips before she let go of him again and moves to Amara. "You know your medicine well it seems. Or at least supplies," she adds with a soft laugh. She leans against the side of the taxi, tail sweeping the ground and tush slightly stuck out. Her arms fold over it and she asks, "What have you found for us?" Trinity peeks up looking at the bag and then Amara.
Amara glances down at the medium sized med kit. "Well there's several forms of bandages, a few suture kits, cold/hot packs, what else?" She opens another compartment of the bag. "Tourniquets, blanket for retaining body heat, a lot of gauze, syringes, antiseptic wipes, and antibiotic ointment." That sounds like enough to items to Amara. She smirks before zipping the bag closed. "I'll keep trying to find the scrapper person though."
Ioh hears Amara speak of her success in her hunt for something to give to the family. He smiles a bit, and his ears perk back up a bit. Certainly, also the caressing of one of his ears also helps to perk them up as well. As Trinity goes to see what Amara has brought, Ioh too turns around and approaches the taxi cab, curious himself as to what was in the kit. He doesn't speak though, and looks on from near the front of the car.
Trinity Smiles and mews gently. "Very good Amara.. You have passed your first task and passed well." She chimes gentle.

Three colour reduction lino print on Japanese paper with layered hand-cut paper library ladders and Greek text (from Aristotle's Metaphysics); modified accordion binding
To discover that metaphysical Tree which hid
From my worldling look its brilliant vein
Far deeper in gross wood
Than axe could cut.
But before I might blind sense
To see with the spotless soul,
Each particular quirk so ravished me
Every pock and stain bulked more beautiful
Than flesh of any body
Flawed by love's prints.
— Sylvia Plath “On The Plethora Of Dryads”
“The path up
is the path down.
The way forward
is the way back.
The universe inside
is outside, but
the universe outside
is inside.”

The yellow or central ceiling panel, the first color of the spectrum, depicts the Creation of Light. Divine Intelligence is enthroned in the midst of Space, enveloped with mist and clouds, and uttering the words "Let there be light." The cherubs represent Physics, Metaphysics, Psychology, and Theology.
Ecological Ethics and the Human Soul: Aquinas, Whitehead, and the Metaphysics of Value
By Francisco J. Benzoni
Horned Triskle, three horns interlocked represents Odin. Part of an oak altar I made and feature on my website
Dr. Wayne Dyer is a prominent American best-selling author and internationally recognized lecturer. Recently he was interviewed for a television news programme in Cleveland, Ohio. In the course of that interview Swami’s name came up, and at the first mention of Sai Baba tears appeared in his eyes. He has never seen Swami in person but said that he was well acquainted with Baba because He appeared often in his dreams.
How come Swami is blessing Dyer by regularly appearing in his dreams? That is because Dyer is an intensely spiritual person. He is regularly featured on Public Television in America and he is considered one of the foremost inspirational speakers in the field of spiritual growth and personal development. He has written 25 books over the last 30 years, many of which have been bestsellers throughout the world.
For the first decade of his life, Dyer lived in an orphanage and foster homes. He now looks back on those years as being some of the most formative years of his life, a time during which he learnt the important lesson of self-reliance. He sees himself as the Eternal Soul who is disguised as an author, lecturer, father, husband and a thousand other things – he obviously takes his Advaitam seriously.
Part of Dyer’s popularity is due to the inclusion of many quotes from Swami in his books and presentations. One of his observations demonstrates his closeness to the Teachings of Sai Baba: “Send out love and harmony, put your mind and body in a peaceful place, and then allow the universe to work in the perfect way it knows how”.
In public lectures around the world, Dyer invariably brings up the name of Sai Baba. “I am not sure why He comes to me,” he says, “it just started happening several years ago. This is a Being who lives at God Consciousness who has, as Jesus had, the ability to manifest at will (like Jesus manifested fish and loaves). All of us have the ability to manifest, but there is the timeline between what we think and what we do.”
In a recent TV interview Dyer exclaimed, “Even as you speak (about Sai Baba), I get very emotional. I could almost break down and cry right now. It’s not a tear of sadness; it’s not a feeling that I am hurt in any way. It’s just the most blissful, peaceful (feeling). Do you know what it feels like to be in a warm shower when you have been out in the cold? It’s like having a warm shower running inside of you.”
This is how Dyer describes Baba’s appearances in his dreams:
“It’s an energy that moves up and down your spine and gives you goose flesh; only, it’s internal goose flesh. It’s just bliss. That’s the way it is and that’s how I feel.”
When asked why others don’t have such access to the many qualities of Sai Baba, Dyer replied that everyone has access but they do not want it. He adds, “It’s just that they believe they don’t. It’s like your question itself (about this) has resistance built in to it. You know the idea is that if you believe you don’t have something, then you don’t have it.”
Dyer says this is how people create resistance to what they want. “If you use phrases like ‘the worst-case scenario’ then you just can’t have ‘the best-case scenario’. You know, ‘as a man thinks, so he is’. It’s based on simple metaphysics. Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”
Often in his talks and frequently in his writings, Dyer teaches about non-attachment. About meeting Sai Baba in India one day he says, “I am not attached to it at all. Honestly, I am not. I don’t have any illusion that if He were to walk into this room right now, that it would be any different from this very experience (of talking about Him) right now”. Dyer adds, “It’s because I already feel Baba’s presence in this room right now. It’s just that strong.”
Dyer says, “I have a very, very strong internal knowing about my connection to Source (God) and Sai Baba is someone who lives at this level of God Consciousness. In David Hawkins book Power v/s Force, he speaks of a handful of people who live at this God-Realized level. He says they are steadfast in their abstention of thoughts of harm, that they don’t exclude anyone and that they include all, and Baba is one of those beings that calibrates at one of those exceptionally high spiritual levels that is commensurate with Source. He is Source Energy. He lives at Source Energy. He is God. We are all pieces of God, and He is there all the time.”
The latest book written by Dyer, The Power of Intention, describes the force brought to an individual’s life by ego and how it interacts with fear. “When you get ego out of the way,” he says, “when you just allow (life to be) and if you knew who it was who was walking beside you at all times on this path, then you would have no fear”. Dyer continues: “One of the quotes I like from Swami Paramananda is that when you reach God realization, nothing can go wrong, nothing can go wrong. All you have to do is live at the level I am speaking about and you don’t have to go around practising or worrying about it, you just have to reach for higher vibrational energy at any moment, which means staying connected to Source. One of the great questions to ask is, “Would God have this thought?”, and then to remind yourself that you are God, that you are a piece of God.”
Dyer says that by definition, anything that excludes cannot be spiritual. And he says that nearly all religions exclude. It’s one of the thoughts that makes this famous author so popular among those who know him. His life is dedicated to inclusiveness. It’s one of the reasons he speaks so forcefully about Sai Baba. He knows Sai Baba is all about inclusion. If Wayne Dyer is against anything for anyone, it is exclusion.

*Metaphysical Properties of Amethyst:
Also known as the "Sobriety Stone". Amethyst is purple quartz, and is a meditative and calming stone. It works in the emotional, spiritual, and physical planes to provide calm, balance, patience, and peace. Amethyst is also beneficial when dealing with legal problems and money issues, which can lead to prosperity and abundance. Amethyst has a gentle, sedative energy that promotes peacefulness, happiness, and contentment. Amethyst can help get rid of addictions (alcohol, drugs, smoking, etc.) and compulsive behaviors of all kinds. In the psychic and spiritual realms, amethyst is an excellent all-purpose stone that can increase spirituality and enhance intuition and psychic powers of all kinds. It does this by making a clear connection between the earth plane and other planes and worlds. Amethyst also protects against psychic attacks, especially during spiritual work, and protects one from thieves, and protects travelers. Physically, amethyst is beneficial for reducing withdrawal symptoms of all kinds, blood sugar imbalances, depression, general healing, left brain imbalances, headaches, arthritis, insomnia, nightmares, other sleep disorders, ADD/ADHD, generalized anxiety, ear aches, circulatory system issues, endocrine system problems, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, immune system deficiencies, and general healing.
Primarily, amethyst is associated with the third eye and crown chakras but can also open the heart chakra.

Are dragons real? Since they do not live on the physical plane, scientists cannot trap and dissect them. Yet magicians and psychics who have explored the astral realms know first-hand that dragons do indeed exist, and that they make very powerful co-magicians. Dragons tap into deeper currents of elemental energies than humans. Because of their ancient wisdom, dragons are valuable contacts to call upon when performing any type of divination, such as the laying out of tarot cards. Tarot decks and other divination tools seem to fascinate them. The Celtic Dragon Tarot is the first deck to use the potent energies of dragons for divination, magickal spell working and meditation.
