Sekhem is an Ancient Egyptian term that literally means power or might. It is the Egyptian equivalent of the Indian concept of prana, and also of chi and ki, terms used in the Orient to denote the all-encompassing essential force that binds the universe together. Sekhem is both all around us and within us.Sekhem, Seichim and Reiki work very well together as a unified trinity of sacred healing energies to completely harmonize your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies, bringing balance to your life. They help you expand your capacity to carry more light and love, which anchors and grounds the essential life force within your energy system. Many people all over the world feel a calling to Egypt and Egyptian energies. Learning to work with these energies can transform your life. Sekhem Heka introduces the searcher to this practice through seven degrees of spiritual and personal self-exploration and self-development. Drawing upon her experiences in Egyptian Magic and the energy healing systems of Reiki and Seichim, Storm Constantine has developed this new system to appeal to practitioners of both magic and energy healing alike. Incorporating ritual and visualisation into a progressive journey through the seven energy centres of the body, Sekhem Heka can be practiced by those who are already attuned to an energy healing modality, as well as those who are simply interested in the magical aspects of the system.Sekhem Heka is designed to help the practitioner work upon self-evolution and self-knowledge. Each of the seven tiers focuses upon a particular energy centre and an Ancient Egyptian god or goddess, with practical exercises and rites. The author has devised a new terminology for the system, drawn from the Ancient Egyptian language, including powerful mantras to help manifest positive changes in your life.

If you have a child in your life that has the look of the far memory in their eyes, gift them with this guide. If you remember the child you were, read this book and reopen the gates of your wonder." - Ivo Dominguez Jr., author of 'Keys to Perception'.Books are 'people' in a different form. I have had to separate books that did not want to be next to each other. They kept throwing themselves off the shelves. Some books come into our lives and stay forever, others just 'pass' through and leave snippits of themselves in our heads.Books for young people are very important as they provide information about things like 'what we believe in'. Most traditions and religions have books explaining their gods, ceremonies, celebrations and special days. But there are very few for those regarded as pagans. But ours is one of the oldest if not the oldest belief system in the world.So I wrote this book for you, whoever is reading it. I wanted to tell you how the Pagan Way works, what it does, and how it makes you feel. I want you to know about the Special Days, about the other invisable life forms that share the world with us. I want you to know the joy this oldest of all traditions can bring you. The way of sharing it with humans, elementals, sprites, animals, plants, trees, and of course other pagans.As a pagan you are part of a way of life that began millions of years ago. We have survived that long, and you, little witchlet, boy or girl , need to claim your inheritance. Blessed Be. - Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
Transpiration is a dynamic odyssey that moves seamlessly from autobiography to poetry. The author's story of growing up in the USA in the 60s and 70s resonates with a deep accord of the ambience of the times, through a magical and intensely personal take on a spiritual awakening, made all the more intimate through the use of dialogue that brings the experiences alive and makes them authentic.Benavidez's poetic imagination seeks to make hermeneutic sense of the Divine from the perspective of someone schooled in Christianity but becoming increasingly aware of alternative spiritual paths. This is exquisitely realised in her poetry, which treads a fine metaphysical line, moving in and out of reality boxes with dexterity, and always bringing something new to the table with each verse.The best poetry holds up a mirror to consensus reality and reflects back what might otherwise be concealed. The poems in this book achieve this skilfully, moving between the sacred significance of the epic 'Nephilim' to shorter works that attempt to tease out the elusive meaning of existence, always imbued with an acute wisdom as to what spiritual portals may truly represent. The poetic awareness is, in every sense, transpirational.Dr Neil Rushton, author of Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sunwww.deadbutdreaming
