Coven of the Pyramid Mountains
A group of women from diverse ethnicities and cultures, with telling behavioural diversity, living together in a coven sharing limited space in a cave—this is the 21st century. Not just any sort of women; some from generational wealth, somewhat abandoning it for such a mundane existence living like a pleb—in with a mix of a few others, some of whom had experienced life not too dissimilar from a forest-dwelling nomad.
Personality clashes galore—not surprising—more so to do with leadership and power-sharing. The story is steeped in the mystical: humans and spirits living together, hybrids in-between: Spirit-Humans and Human-Spirits. The former is more of mortality as we know it, with the supernatural ability transcending between the two. The latter is more of a spirit, with the same ability to alternate between humanity and spiritual lifeforms.

Clinical Signs
Doctors have a unique view of the human body. Centuries of observing the sick and decades of testing these observations against science. A diagnosis starts with interrogation followed by observation, clinched by the appropriate test.
Clinical skills are focused on patients, but friends and family are not exempt. The real test comes when the physician himself becomes acutely unwell without warning.
This is a story of the continuing importance of clinical signs in the age of artificial intelligence. The story of a doctor who for decades used his diagnostic skills with and without the aid of technology and who suddenly becomes dependent on the healthcare system in which he has spent his whole working life.
The author was a clinician in the National Health Service for over 40 years, specialising in diabetes and endocrinology. He has worked in teaching hospitals around the UK, Japan and New Zealand, as well as a mission hospital in Tanzania and a refugee camp in Zaire. This memoir documents the way clinical skills are acquired and applied in the care of the sick. However, when illness descended out of the blue, he was forced to apply those skills to himself whilst simultaneously adopting the role of the patient.

Born Baggaged
With this book we find that there is reason to believe that we can break free from our psychological suffering. Dr Marleen De Villiers shows how you can find the gift in the wounds that you have uncomfortably lived with for too long. She expertly places psychotherapy in the spotlight, showing us that there is another way. This book debunks the uncomfortable myths of psychotherapy and offers a way forward into personal growth, self-mastery and authenticity. By offering researched facts alongside stories and vignettes of patients and clients emerging from her professional psychotherapy practice, she succinctly creates a floor plan resulting in a comprehensive offering for understanding our personal and collective psychological profiles.
Ultimately, Born Baggaged embraces the power of transformation and the possibility of metamorphosis. The message is clear: you can change your limiting self-belief and restrictive patterns, you can create the life that you deserve and you can be the person who you have actually been born to be, authentic and free.
“Why do we believe the lies that we live with that started in our families and that we continue to drag around our relationships like filthy rags? Do we tell ourselves new and smarter lies as we go through life, or can we choose differently, to grow through life’s challenges and upheavals, as much as we celebrate the magnificent moments that come around as well?”
– Marleen De Villiers, Ph.D
