"A learned exposition by one of the world's leading Qabalists, this book takes the reader through an exploratory journey through the English Alphabet and the mystic and even subconscious roots of our development of language throughout history. A quick survey of the Hebrew Qabalah is presented before embarking the reader upon the discovery of the English Qabalah and the Key to the Roman Script published here for the first time. Disturbingly poetic and irritatingly profound, readers will find a treasure chest of delights to whet their curiosity." -Editor's Review This volume presents the analyses and researches that led to the discovery of the English Key, directing the reader through the process of discovery and revealing the results of the key's application to Class A texts before considering wider applications. A short demonstration of the results of conversion according to the Key is presented as substantive proof of the validity of the Key. An exploration of the mathematical and mystical properties of the numbers and the operations upon them, as well as the letters of the Roman Script (English Alphabet) is offered as the basis from which to construct a new system relating the alphabet glyphs to the Mystical Traditions of the Past. The Trees of Life, and the system of syncretic concordances are developed and presented.A lexicon or numerical dictionary is also provided wherein words and phrases of the English Language are tabulated in order of their value.

'NOT FOR ART NOR PRAYER'-Darren C. Demaree's latest collection is a book of hymns that celebrate and transform the ostensibly ordinary. Here are adorations and songs to sublimate the mundane, exalt the everyday, reveal the stark beauty of the commonplace and capture the sublimity of moments that often slip away. The title serves as an injuction. Reading 'Not for Art nor Prayer' might very well inspire the reader to art or to worship. "Darren C. Demaree's new collection Not for Art nor Prayer is a crash course in badass alchemy, in concision and razor wire. Built from five discrete sections that bleed through each other, these poems gallop & salivate, these poems roar through their quiet deftness on the page..." - Sam Sax, author of "sad boy / detective""...these generously attentive and marvelously whimsical poems repeatedly resist sleight-of hand poetic transubstantiation, while slyly acknowledging the inevitably transformative nature of language." -Lee Ann Roripaugh, Author of Dandarians

"A voice is missing from the international debate on the Syrian War. Throughout the conflict, world leaders have focused discussions on chemical weapons and radical fundamentalists while the Syrian people, civilians and refugees remain effectively absent from the conversation. Yet, as the war continues without foreseeable end, the simple truth is Syrians are dying and whether through bombs or sarin gas, the largest portion of the casualties are civilian.""Seven Syrians - War Accounts from Syrian Refugees" captures the stories and struggles of those caught in the middle of the armed conflict currently ravaging Syria. Framed by Diego Cupolo's unerring eye while touring the region, these photographs and first-hand accounts remind us that it is civilians who suffer the brunt of war's atrocities. In a series of humanizing portraits, Diego Cupolo takes us into the lives of those fortunate enough to have survived the conflict decimating their homeland. Forced to flee their homes and families, these men, women and children, teachers, plumbers, engineers, taxi drivers, brothers and sisters no different than ourselves and our neighbours, tell us in their own words of their struggles, triumphs, pains and fortitude and of the monstrosity of war when all of us the world over, seek the same security and opportunities for our children.

The McGill Law Journal is the premiere legal periodical in the history of Canadian scholarship. Since its founding in 1952 by Jacques-Yvan Morin (future leader of the Official Opposition in the National Assembly of Quebec) the Journal has been at the forefront of legal history. It was the first university-based law journal in Canada to be cited by the Supreme Court, and has since been outpaced by no other university journal in the frequency at which the Court has turned to it. And it has always has been run solely by students.The Journal's alumni covers a who's who of the last 60 years in Canada, from international figures to business leaders; from national politicians to larger-than-life legal scholars; from judges to global entertainers. This is the story of the people who made the Journal work; of the people who each made their first real impacts on the world through an unearthly dedication and passion to their job at the MLJ. It is also the tale of the revolutionary ideas that flowed into, and in some situations started, in the pages of the publication they ran.

To Russia with Love" is how a group of Montreal artists and collaborators answer the phobias arising out of Russia. This is their stand against the recent wave of bigotry and violence and the realization of the moral imperative to not remain passive in the face of hatred and injustice."...exquisitely detailed...." - Phil Tarney, Artists Corner Gallery, Hollywood, California"Masterful visual quotations.." - Ivan Savvine, Russian Journalist & ActivistLed by visual artist and photographer Damian Siqueiros, "To Russia with Love" portrays iconic gay and lesbian Russians in all of Siqueiros's usual detail and flare. Along with his collaborators, Mr. Siqueiros is passionate in his belief that fighting hatred with hatred is as nonsensical as trying to extinguish a fire with more fire. There is no condemnation for those perpetrating injustice, instead these portraits serve to remind us of the beauty of love and to validate the couples and the identities of our Russian brothers and sisters in the LGBT community.
