Winter Spirits by Leigh Green Pdf

A Christmas Ghost Story. A haunting mystery set in a Victorian mansion, a tale of suspense and intrigue. "At the bottom of the stairs I instantly felt very alone as though in a foreign land that had suddenly turned hostile. A feeling of isolation crept over me and with it the subtle mist of a presence that was looking in on me, detecting and assessing me. With this in my mind I walked on tiptoe so as not to disturb whatever might be there, as though the quietness of my movements would give me an advantage. It was only natural for me to do that, I felt like an ancient hunter living on his instincts, but in that no mans land I did not know how obvious or stealthy I was being. I felt I was in uncharted territory and would wake a sleeping phantom.""In the house it was my job to collect the rent for the lazy landlord, who was forever holidaying abroad and on my rounds I got to know everyone, including the mysterious woman on the first floor. She set off a chain of events that made me reconsider everything and challenge the safety of my sceptical mind."

NATURE SPIRITS by RUDOLF STEINER Pdf

Based on knowledge attained through his highly-trained clairvoyance, Rudolf Steiner contends that folk traditions regarding nature spirits are based on spiritual reality. He describes how people possessed a natural spiritual vision in ancient times, enabling them to commune with nature spirits. These entities - which are also referred to as elemental beings - became immortalised as fairies and gnomes in myth, legend and children's stories. Today, says Steiner, the instinctive understanding that humanity once had for these elemental beings should be transformed into clear scientific knowledge. He even asserts that humanity will not be able to reconnect with the spiritual world if it cannot develop a new relationship to the elementals. The nature spirits themselves want to be of great assistance to us, acting as 'emissaries of higher divine spiritual beings'.

The Winter Spirit by Indra Vaughn Pdf

Nathaniel O'Donnelly likes his life quiet, his guests happy, and his ghosts well-behaved. Although a boyfriend wouldn't go amiss. Someone to share his beautiful B&B with, even if it is in the middle of nowhere and he's long past the wrong side of thirty. Problem is, Nathaniel's living with a ghost who thinks he's cupid, and whose arrows fly a little too straight. Gabriel Wickfield had the unfortunate luck of dying before his time, and now he's stuck trying to make romance happen to earn his right to move along. Not that he's bored in the meantime--Nathaniel is just too easy to tease. And also a little bit scrumptious...With the curse reaching its expiration date, Gabriel needs to make a final match this Christmas. Without it, nothing but darkness awaits. Love can conquer all, but can it beat death?

Christmas is a time of busyness, stress, overspending, and overeating. It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the holiday, and some adults even learn to dread its approach. But what if this wasn’t so? Christmas is a magical time for children; what if it regained that magic for adults as well? Winter Stories is a collection of cheerful holiday stories intended to inspire happiness. In the story of Harry Fairbanks, for instance, his divorce is imminent. He’s on his way home to tell his wife it’s over when “Santa Facilitator” Charles E. Puck appears and gives him a magic Santa hat that changes his viewpoint on everything, including the love of his wife. And then there’s Franklin Doyle, who in a life crisis spies a magical website originating from London, England—and decides to make a visit. A mystical winter fog comes up, and Doyle is transported back in time to hang out with Ebenezer Scrooge and old Mr. Fezziwig. Each of the 10 stories in this collection is written with the joyous winter season in mind—a time of hope and peace. Smile, forget the stresses of life, and find your joy.
