This anthology of eleven stirring tales, composed in melodic rhyming couplets, sweeps readers into a realm where myth intertwines with romance across diverse landscapes: from the Peruvian Amazon to the plains of Africa, the vastness of the Pacific to the spiritual heights of Tibet. Each narrative celebrates the wild, noble beasts that champion the cause of their land: wolves liberating Athens, pumas safeguarding the Amazon, bears emancipating prisoners in wartime Germany, and more.

Alejandro Jodorowsky, cineasta, tarólogo, psicomago, novelista, invitando a una mutación en lo más profundo del ser, explora los meandros del alma humana con "humildad de perro", sin dictar pretenciosas sentencias de filólosofo o de maestro místico. "La facultad de pensar es el más cruel regalo que los dioses nos han dado". Poemas que mezclan a la vez la realidad de un mundo cruel y maravilloso, entre sagrado y profano. Palabra tras palabra, como se deshojan uno a uno los pétalos de una flor, Jodorowsky busca un camino entre las espinas.

This is the second book in this Evil World series. It is a conglomeration of miscellaneous poems written for friends and dealing with poem suggestions from those friends. They are also dealing with the crazy situations occurring in our lives in this time of turmoil. Many people believe that this time we are in is mirroring the events of the Bible book of Revelation. The poems concerning those event topics may be a bit biting to those that are not "Red-Pilled." Truth will be the qualifier. A new world is in our near future, and the truth is coming to the surface.

Although generally considered one of Portugal's greatest poets, Fernando António Nogueira Pessoa (1888-1935) published but one book in Portuguese in his lifetime. That book, Message (Portuguese Mensagem), the esoteric epic at which he labored sporadically for more than 20 years before finally publishing it in the year prior to his death, is undoubtedly essential to an understanding of Pessoa's poetic vision, yet it remains, at least in the English-speaking world, relatively unknown and unread.

The world is ending; two brothers and a girl need to locate mystical items to stop the apocalypse. --- The hourglass is on the brink of shattering, our time in existence, snuffed out like breath to a candle.

They were strangers-but familiar; they emanated danger, yet I had never felt safer. “666 items to locate, 66 rituals to preform and 6 seals to break in 6 months, or time is no longer. We cannot fail humanity Serena.” his voice like steel. If ...
