Live Music Weekends in the Tea Room
8:30 to 10:30 p.m. - No Cover Charge
Every Friday and Saturday night Crazy Wisdom invites you to Tea and Tunes. Not a tea drinker? No problem! Crazy Wisdom offer a wide selection of coffee drinks. (while you're here, don't forget to try some of our tasty treats as well!)  Friday, August 31 - Some Velvet Evening
Some Velvet Evening is the duo of Carrie Shepard and John Holk. Their original tunes harken back to the high lonesome crooners of yesteryear in the great tradition of the Louvin Brothers, Wagoner & Parton, Twitty & Lynn, and Parsons & Harris. With miles of live Honky Tonk performances under their cowboy belt buckles and cowgirl boots, they are beginning to take their music outside of Detroit, where they've established themselves as one of the leading acts on Michigan's progressive country scene. Their debut full-length CD "No Law Against Talking" and the Grand Ole Opry-style video for their original tune "Shooting the Breeze" is gaining attention in America as well as abroad, earning praise from The President of the National Traditional Country Music Association, The Roots Music Report and the "Saving Country Music" blog. www.somevelvetevening.com  Saturday, September 1 -

 Jesus Wants to Save Christians: Learning to Read a Dangerous Book
(Paperback)
By Rob Bell, Don Golden
List Price: $14.99
Our Price: $10.49
(Save: $4.50 30%)
"We want you to discover the Bible as its own best commentary. We offer you a way to read the Bible that doesn't require a library or a preacher or a politician or an academic to interpret for you. Once justice is seen as the thread woven into the fabric of biblical history, the whole Bible becomes much clearer. Justice is the issue when God redeems Israel from Pharaoh. Justice is at the heart of the Sinai law and justice is what Israel must show the world as a kingdom of priests. Justice is the measure the Jews failed to meet in their days of power and empire in Jerusalem. It was justice the prophets proclaimed as the way of return during the exile of the Jews in Babylon and it was justice that Jesus incarnated."
-from Jesus Wants to Save Christians

 Imagining the World Into Existence: An Ancient Egyptian Manual of Consciousness
(Paperback)
By Normandi Ellis
List Price: $18.00
Our Price: $12.60
(Save: $5.40 30%)
Reveals the secret language and words of power that enabled the ancient Egyptians to imagine the world into existence - Reveals ancient Egyptian Mystery teachings on immaculate conception, transubstantiation, resurrection, and eternal life - Explores the shamanic journeys that ancient Egyptian priests used to view the unconscious and the afterlife - Provides the essential spiritual tools needed to return to Zep Tepi, the creative source Drawing from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Pyramid texts, the Book of Thoth, and other sacred hieroglyphic writings spanning the three millennia of the Egyptian Mystery Traditions, Normandi Ellis reveals the magical language of creation and words of power that enabled the ancient Egyptians to act as co-creators with the gods. Examining the power of hieroglyphic thinking--how thoughts create reality--and the multiple meanings behind every word of power, the author shows how, with the Neteru, we imagine the world into existence, casting a spell of consciousness over the material world. Uncovering the deep layers of meaning and symbol within the myths of the Egyptian gods and goddesses, Ellis investigates the shamanic journeys that ancient Egyptian priests used to view the unconscious and the afterlife and shares their initiations for immaculate conception, transubstantiation, resurrection, and eternal life--initiations that later became part of the Christian mystery school. Revealing the words of power used by these ancient priests/sorcerers, she explains how to search for the deeper, hidden truths beneath their spells and shows how ancient Egyptian consciousness holds the secret of life itself. Revealing the initiatory secrets of the Osirian Mystery school, Ellis provides the essential teachings and shamanic tools needed to return to Zep Tepi--the creative source--as we face the transitional time of radical change currently at hand.
