Lost in modern myth, false history and general misinterpretation, the Ninja have been misrepresented for many years. More recently, a desire for a more historical view of the ninja has become a popular theme in the history/martial arts community and Antony Cummins is the primary driving force behind that movement. In Search of the Ninja is based upon the Historical Ninjutsu Research Team's translations of the major ninja manuals and consists of genuinely new material. Little historical research has been done on the Ninja of Japan. Here for the first time the connection of the famous Hattori family warriors with the Ninja is explained. The Samurai versus Ninja myth is dispelled. The realities of Ninja skills are analysed. How did a Ninja work underwater when mining castle walls? How can a bird be used to set fire to the enemy's camp? The book explores newly discovered connections to ancient Chinese manuals, lost skills and the 'hidden' Zen philosophy that the Ninja followed. In Search of the Ninja is the first and only historical look at the shinobi of ancient Japan. 130 Illustrations, black and white

Book Synopsis A well-researched work of fiction from bestselling author Barbara Hand Clow - A contemporary spiritual and erotic thriller that reveals esoteric teachings on Jesus and Mary Magdalene, holy relics, sacred sexuality, and art - Contains hidden secrets on the use of crystals as well as extraordinary information about secret societies - Continues the story from Revelations of the Ruby Crystal - From the bestselling author of The Pleiadian Agenda (98,000 copies sold) and The Mayan Code (57,000 copies sold) Shortly after his wedding at his family's ancient castle in Tuscany, sophisticated and mysterious Armando Pierleoni reveals his richly symbolic painting of the love between Jesus and Mary Magdalene to his bride Jennifer. Deeply affecting all who view it, the alchemical portrayal leads Armando, Jennifer, and their friends on a contemporary journey into the esoteric mysteries of divine marriage, sacred sexuality, the Black Madonna, and the transformative power of holy relics. The group of friends--Jennifer's journalist brother Simon, his mystical wife Sarah, Jungian analyst Lorenzo, exotically beautiful and insightful Claudia, and Armando and Jennifer--discover past-life connections and the power of sacred sex as a path to the divine. They explore how the Knights Templar collected the bones of the Jesus family from the Talpiot tomb in Jerusalem and eventually placed them in reliquaries throughout the world--including within the Medici Chapel in Florence and in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. When Armando's magical painting of Jesus and Mary Magdalene goes on display in the Medici Chapel and is viewed by thousands, the painting's power coalesces with Aquarian vibrations to trigger a mass kundalini rising within the Chapel, activating the sacred bones in the reliquaries. The activated bones enable the Light to flow into the world, awakening Christ Consciousness around the globe. Review Quotes "There are many delightful aspects to each of the characters, revealed as they are led through their esoteric encounters and adventures. The events of the book are set against the dire events occurring in the world at that time, particularly the horrific perpetrations of ISIS. None the less, I found reading this book engendered hope and inspiration as I was swept into the power of sacred sexuality embraced by Jesus and Mary Magdalene. I found reading it offered me an oasis from the surrounding Covid 19 pandemic and the human darkness revealed in today's world. May the Age of Aquarius bring us all the healing Barbara Hand-Clow envisions."-- "Tannis Hugill, M.A. in Somatic Psychology and registered B.C. Clinical Counsellor" ". . . a cosmic journey and the story of the hidden history of humanity whose wisdom secrets have been repressed by the patriarchy to keep humanity from realizing its spiritual potential. Barbara Hand Clow opens the door to understanding the importance of the Divine Feminine to heal our world and why the wisdom once taught by Jesus and Mary Magdalene, which was repressed by the Church for over 2000 years, is so crucial to the time we are living in now."-- "Tricia McCannon author of Return of the Divine Sophia" "Revelations of the Aquarian Age is a novel brimming with spiritual insights and 'heretical' lore, whose plot weaves around a modern alchemical painting of Jesus and the Magdalene. The author deftly uses the surfacing of secrets guarded by two ancient Italian families--the Medicis and Pierleonis--to stage what is in effect a plausible scenario for the real start of the Age of Aquarius: Christ's Second Coming."-- "Tuvia Fogel, author of The Jerusalem Parchment" "Revelations of the Aquarian Age is a roller coaster of mystical downloads cleverly wrapped up as a well-researched work of fiction. I absolutely love the author's methodology of getting these ripe jewels into as many hands as is worldly possible. Blessings upon you, Barbara Hand Clow."-- "Anaiya Sophia, author of Sacred Sexual Union" "A novel bound to enthrall those who were captivated by The Da Vinci Code. Well written and full of mystery."-- "Graham Phillips, author of The Chalice of Magdalene" "An extraordinary new offering from one of the world's top visionary writers. Revelations of the Aquarian Age is a beautiful blend of wisdom and drama played out by a compelling cast of characters. A must-have for anyone seeking answers to the most profound sacred mysteries regarding humanity's divine cosmic origins."-- "Andrew Collins, author of Göbekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods and The Cygnus Key" "Barbara Hand Clow is a modern-day shamanic storyteller. The energy layered within her fictional work is all-seeing. She is indeed one of those very rare individuals with the ability to enlighten those who seek an alternative answer to the evil that currently envelops our world. Revelations of the Aquarian Age gives the reader the eyes to see what is hidden in plain sight. Her research, historical insight, multidimensional layering of detail and character development takes my breath away. Above all else, her novel's underlying message--that universal love and compassion will triumph over evil--is a celebration of the human spirit."-- "William F. Mann, author of Templar Sanctuaries of North America" "This book takes the reader into an unseen world of intrigue, mystery, and other dimensions. Recent historical discoveries exposing the motives behind the manipulation of facts by organized religion are brought to light as the world moves into the Aquarian Age. I'm looking forward to reading the next one! Another must-read by this enormously gifted author."-- "Sylvia Claire, CHt, LBLt, certified practitioner of Life Between Lives Therapy(R)" "This fascinating novel illustrates the connection between Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and the hidden secrets of a bloodline that would threaten the very existence of conventional Christianity. It is riveting, and it helps explain many uncertainties about world religions and even our own government. A must-read . . ."-- "Nicki Scully, author of Sekhmet: Transformation in the Belly of the Goddess" About the Author Barbara Hand Clow is an internationally acclaimed ceremonial teacher, author, and Mayan Calendar researcher.
