America: The Sorcerer's New Apprentice


Book Description

Your friends, your family, your neighbors--and quite possibly even your church--are wondering: Is America at the threshold of a glorious rebirth into planetary enlightenment, peace, and brotherhood? Or have we, as forward-thinking Americans in our search for higher levels of human potential, opened a spiritual Pandora's box? Due to the occult philosophies embraced and advanced by Oprah, Dr. Oz, and countless others, Americans are rapidly awakening to what is being hailed as a paradigm shift in global consciousness. Whatever you believe, and why, one thing is certain: Today's world is the scene of a strange and growing paradox that seems to mark an important transformation in the history of mankind. For even as scientific and technological advancement is accelerating at an exponential rate, we are witnessing the greatest explosion of occultism of all time. The question is, Who is right? Is there really a threat to the American culture? And, if so, what will awaken us to the truth that sets humanity free from spiritual deception and dangerous delusions--which appear to enlighten but actually lead to enslavement? Originally written as a tool to educate and inform nonbelievers of the dangers of the New Age movement, this timely reprint of Dave Hunt's classic 1988 work will astound you all over again with its groundbreaking revelations and prophetic implications. You'll not only want to add this to your "Dave Hunt Classic" library but also pass it along to those who may be mired in the New Spirituality of today or those loved ones you wish to protect from the prowling about of our spiritual adversary.




The Sorcerer's Apprentice


Book Description

A diverse new anthology that traces the meaning and magic of the sorcerer’s apprentice tale throughout history “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” might conjure up images of Mickey Mouse from the Disney film Fantasia, or of Harry Potter. As this anthology reveals, however, “sorcerer’s apprentice” tales—in which a young person rebels against, or complies with, an authority who holds the keys to magical powers—have been told through the centuries from classical times to today. This collection brings together more than fifty sorcerer’s apprentice stories by a plethora of writers, including Ovid, Sir Walter Scott, and the Brothers Grimm. In an extensive introduction, fairy-tale scholar Jack Zipes discusses the significance of the apprentice stories, the contradictions in popular retellings, and the importance of magic as a tool of resistance against figures who abuse their authority. Twenty specially commissioned black-and-white illustrations by noted artist Natalie Frank bring the stories to visual life.
