Thousands of years before the Aryan invasion of Europe, the people of Old Europe created sacred signs, the Primal Runes, and gave birth to our most ancient ancestral tradition of divination and magic. Based on the phases of the Moon, these archetypal rune-forms each have a sacred sound; they form a complete system of invocation and empowerment.

Organizations around the world spend billions of dollars every year to awaken and engage their employees. Yet global employee engagement remains fixed—at 13%. The disengagement problem usually begins with the CEO telling human resources to fix it. Unless the CEO or business owner takes charge of engagement, everyone will look over the messenger’s shoulders to pick up cues from the top leader. Most workers can’t engage because they are overwhelmed trying to keep up with change. This problem speaks to a much deeper need. We need to teach our workers how to change themselves. In The Workplace Engagement Solution, David Harder will help you: Learn how a CEO or business owner can successfully lead culture awakening. Gain the life skills that help employees change and reinvent themselves. Build a caring, mentor-driven culture that ensures category-leading engagement. Routinely create enthusiastic and loyal customers as an outcome of your culture.
A wellspring is a source of abundant and continual supply. That is how it is with God’s Word. In these pages you will find the refreshment God promises us in Proverbs 18:4: “The words from a person’s mouth are deep waters, a bubbling stream, a fountain of wisdom.” Throughout the scripture, water is used as a theme for so much that God provides. The “water” found in God’s Word quenches not just physical thirst, but the deep spiritual cravings we struggle with every day. Using the readable and relatable scripture translations of the Common English Bible, Wellspring is the perfect companion for anyone who is thirsty for fresh, clear encouragement and a deeper walk with Christ. Each daily selection includes a Bible verse, a personal reading, and a short prayer. Here, readers will find that God’s love for them is a wellspring—inexhaustible, ever-flowing, always refreshing and available.
This book is for entrepreneurs who are open to looking at their businesses, and their lives, differently. It is for those who have a passion for entrepreneurship, seek to prosper and want to build their dreams in accordance with their highest thinking and beliefs. It is about how to realise ones full potential through self-empowerment, co-creation and alignment with ones Higher Self. We are familiar with the likes of Sir Richard Branson but for every entrepreneur who has made a million, there are thousands who struggle for years and never get beyond the state of harassed sole trader. Such was my own case - until I ceased separating my spiritual life from my business life. After years of feast and famine, I created a consistently successful business that not only ran independently of me, but became one of the fastest growing in Europe and most profitable in our sector. This is the story of how my situation changed, once I committed to integrating my spirituality into my business.
