My favorite books are old, possible outdated books that you can trace the origin of your own "mind" back to. New books are only sometimes more valid, and more accurate than the old.</p> <p> </p> <p>Technology has come along that can let me gaze upon the pages of some of the oldest and rarest books in print, while looking at them over a thousand or so pixels. It is ironic in some ways that we have had to move so far away from the past for me to be able to access it this much. Although nothing can take away the joy of flipping through the pages of a well worn book, the fact that I can "touch" books from around the world through the internet is why I am in love with E-Books.</p> <p> </p> <p>That and, many great treasures can be found- for FREE!!!! (I love when information is open to those willing to learn)</p> <p> </p> <p>Which brings me to my point, I found a great free e-book. It is a scan of <em><span class="font-size-2">Your will power, also called "The mystic will" by Charles Godfrey Leland.</span></em> <span class="font-size-2">When I find these kinds of things I am giddy with excitement. I have read a little bit in to the book and so far it is very interesting, and a lot of what Leland says about society "back then" is strikingly similar to what I feel about today- so assuming this is so, I think this book will truly prove to maintain its value.</span></p> <p><a target="_blank" href="http://bks5.books.google.com/ebooks?id=9lw-AAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&sig=ACfU3U0UBq-D2sNXHswL5IyUip45VY9ekw"><img class="align-left" src="http://bks5.books.google.com/ebooks?id=9lw-AAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&sig=ACfU3U0UBq-D2sNXHswL5IyUip45VY9ekw&width=128" width="128"/></a></p> <p><span class="font-size-2">I really hope some of you take advantage of reading this book, and I want to hear what you think after you get a ways through it. Is it useful? Do you think it fulfills its purpose (strengthening your Will)? It it too outdated? What do you think? I would also love to hear about any similar books you have read in comparison or to recommend!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span class="font-size-2">You can get this ebook FOR FREE here: <a href="http://books.google.com/ebooks?id=9lw-AAAAYAAJ&dq=will+power&lr=&as_brr=4" target="_blank">Your will power, also called "The mystic will"</a></span></p> <p><span class="font-size-2"><br/></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span class="font-size-2">Good Luck and Happy Reading!</span></p> <p><span class="font-size-2">-Megan<br/></span></p> <p><a style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"/></a></p> <p> </p> Hello There! tag:realpagan.net,2010-12-29:6330711:Topic:32612 2010-12-29T21:18:19.612Z Megan Herrod http://realpagan.net/profile/MeganHerrod <p>Hi, My name is Megan Herrod.

I am new to this site, however I am spying a few faces that makes me suspect a few of you already have "met" me at a few other sites. This site is a refreshing relief and I hope it is as engaging and down to earth as I hope!</p> <p> </p> <p>I am a mother of one 2 year old- with another on the way. I am also happily married to an awesome man. To avoid being redundant you can check out some more on my profile!</p> <p> </p> <p>I am from Wyoming- so if anyone is in the area, I'd love a shout. Out here it is a lonely place for pagans. (With more cattle than people we are truly few and far between). Even so I am a perpetual optimist and I feel really blessed to live in a place with clean air, towering mountains and two seasons (winter and springsummerfall).</p> <p> </p> <p>I can't wait to get in there and start spouting my opinions (respectfully of course). I am so happy to be here and get to know you all!</p> <p> </p> <p>Blessed Be and Good Luck!</p> <p>-Megan</p>
