Nordic Runes: Their esoteric meaning. And context.
The Nordic runes are taken off an ancient model for the structure of an Indo-European's mind. It is called Yggdrasil. That model was known to the ancient Greek philosophers, it underlies Gnosticism and Alchemy and it is consistent with Yoga and Hinduism. The common factor is that all of these peoples were Indo-Europeans. Explaining this model and the esoteric meaning of the runes is the principle purpose of this book. It also puts the runes' development into their historical context. The contemporary importance of this model is that it underlies Carl Jung's work in psychology, and also tells how to reach the highest level of person development.

My ancestors were of English and Danish origins Consequently, they were Pagans for many generations, So, if ancestral memory exist, I may have them. Nevertheless, they were in North America since colonial times and I was raised an Episcopalian in a family that was of that denomination for many generations.

I have written one book on history and many reports on public policy issues.$12.64–$22.55 -
The Executioners
The Executioners is a book that covers several Armenian related subjects. The main theme is about the executioners who assassinated the Ottoman Turkish perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide and how
they went about accomplishing their assignments. The other contents include a short history of Armenia, the events of Bank Ottoman, the foundation of Operation Nemesis, and what is going on in Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan today. Operation Nemesis was the secret organization that formed after World War I to execute the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide. These were the same Ottoman Turks who were condemned to death by their own Courts-Martial but were able to flee to safe havens until the commandos of Operation Nemesis caught up to them and execute them.About the Author:
George Mouradian by profession is an engineer, yet also a history enthusiast. He is an American born Armenian who has researched Armenian history since his high school days, taught and was principal of
Armenian Sunday School classes, lectured on Armenian and Genocide subjects, and has been very active in the Armenian community affairs. His job skills relate more to quality and reliability engineering
than they do to history, but he has a love of the past and wanted to do something that could help others who are also interested. He has written several books on Armenian history and culture and on engineering, and has taught Reliability Engineering and Quality Management at the American University of Armenia. He wrote The Executioners because he wanted to tell the world about the Armenian Genocide and the avengers who tracked down the Ottoman Turkish culprits who killed the Armenians, Greeks, and other Christians. In addition, he wanted readers to learn about happened at
Bank Ottoman, the Hamidiye Massacres of 1894-1896 and the founding of Operation Nemesis, the organization that formed to execute the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide. George is also concerned with what is going on, in and among, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan today. The potential dynamics of the future are immense.$2.99–$10.96 -

Overland coaches without experiencing the feelings
of mingled terror and astonishment must certainly be
oblivious to every consideration of personal safety.”After growing up with slavery on his family’s plantation in South Carolina and later receiving his degree in 1855 from the Yale School of Law, Benjamin Cartwell’s life becomes dramatically altered. Ben discovers just surviving on the raw and dangerous Western frontier challenging when asked to assist staging mogul John Butterfield, the mastermind architect of the Overland Mail Company, in establishing the infrastructure and placing into operation the epic transcontinental mail route between the Mississippi River and San Francisco.
