The Illuminator’s Covenant

 Book Cover


The Illuminator’s Covenant


A Nation Divided. A World on the Brink. A Prophecy That Could Spell the End.
When scholar Jordan Channing deciphers an ominous message buried in ancient prophecy, he stumbles upon a terrifying truth: a man-made storm is brewing, and at its center is a leader whose rise mirrors the darkest warnings of scripture. Manipulated by a shadowy cabal known as the Illuminators, this politician promises salvation while paving a path to destruction.
Drawing chilling parallels to modern America, The Illuminator's Covenant explores the rise of an enigmatic, polarizing figure whose rhetoric divides and deceives, threatening the fragile fabric of democracy. With faith weaponized and truth under siege, Jordan must confront the forces behind this leader’s ascent and uncover the real agenda of the Illuminators before they plunge the world into chaos.
Set against a backdrop of political upheaval and spiritual dread, Daniel Edwards delivers a searing indictment of unchecked power and blind devotion. With themes ripped from today’s headlines, this political and spiritual thriller will captivate readers disillusioned by recent events, challenging them to question not just the leaders we follow but the systems that elevate them.
For those who fear where the nation is headed—or who see unsettling echoes of history repeating—The Illuminator's Covenant offers a gripping, thought-provoking journey into a future we must fight to avoid.

WHAT NO ONE WILL TELL YOU THAT VOCALIST DEFINITELY NEED TO KNOW



There are so many mistakes I made when I first started singing that I wish someone would have given me a heads up about the little things every vocalist needs to know. 

I put the core of what I’ve learned in this easy-to-read little red book.  There are 31 Core Principles or lessons, one for every day of the month.  Each could take an entire chapter itself, but that would be too long, and too boring. If you learn these principles, you’re go a long way and the journey will be full of joy, instead of embarrassment and regret.  


If you love someone starting out in the business, buy a copy for them also because everyone needs a friend even if it’s a virtual one.

Unlocking the Magic Within: The Benefits of Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey that blends ancient wisdom with modern practicality, all while keeping things refreshingly down-to-earth? If so, my new book Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass is the perfect guide for you. But what exactly makes this book stand out in the vast sea of spiritual literature? Let’s dive into the benefits you’ll discover within its pages.

1. Simplicity Meets Depth: A Balanced Approach

One of the key benefits of Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass is its ability to balance simplicity with depth. Whether you’re a seasoned metaphysical explorer or someone just beginning to dip your toes into the spiritual waters, this book has something to offer.

We explore everyday practices that are easy to incorporate into your life, like acknowledging your own value, trusting your intuition, and finding joy in the small moments. But we don’t stop there. We also tackle the big, thought-provoking questions that have puzzled humanity for centuries—questions about the meaning of life, free will versus destiny, and the role of modern technology in our spiritual evolution. This balance ensures that you’re not only getting practical advice but also engaging in a deeper exploration of your mind, body, and soul.

2. A Personalized Spiritual Journey

One size does not fit all—especially when it comes to spirituality. That’s why Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass emphasizes the importance of creating your own unique metaphysical practice. Throughout the book, you’ll find guidance on how to tailor spiritual practices to your individual needs, preferences, and goals. Whether it’s meditation, crystal healing, or something entirely different, the book encourages you to explore what resonates with you and to build a practice that feels authentic and empowering.

This personalized approach means you’re not just following a pre-set path—you’re forging your own, one that aligns with your deepest values and desires. It’s a journey of self-discovery that’s as unique as you are.

3. Accessible and Relatable Wisdom

Let’s face it: metaphysics can sometimes feel overwhelming or even a bit intimidating, especially if you’re new to the field. That’s why Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass is written in a straightforward, relatable style that makes complex concepts easy to understand. There’s no jargon, no mysticism—just clear, practical advice delivered with a healthy dose of humor.

The book is designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey. You won’t need a Ph.D. in metaphysics to grasp the concepts or apply the practices. Instead, you’ll find yourself nodding along, laughing, and thinking, “Hey, I can do this!”

4. Practical Tools for Everyday Life

Spirituality isn’t just something that happens in meditation sessions or during moon rituals—it’s something that can (and should) be woven into every aspect of your daily life. Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass is packed with practical tools and techniques that you can easily incorporate into your routine.

From simple mindfulness practices to energy-clearing techniques, the book offers a variety of methods to help you stay grounded, centered, and connected, no matter what life throws your way. These tools aren’t just for special occasions—they’re designed to enhance your everyday experience, making life a little more magical and a lot more meaningful.

5. A Fresh Perspective on Metaphysics

In a world where metaphysical practices can sometimes feel stale or overly mystical, Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass brings a fresh perspective. The book challenges conventional thinking and encourages you to look at metaphysics through a new lens—one that’s open-minded, flexible, and deeply personal.

Whether it’s rethinking the role of modern technology in our spiritual lives or exploring the deeper meanings behind ancient practices, this book invites you to question, explore, and evolve. It’s about moving beyond the surface and diving into the rich, complex world of metaphysics with curiosity and courage.

6. Empowering the Next Generation

One of the unique aspects of this book is its focus on sharing metaphysical practices with the next generation. Children are naturally curious and open to the spiritual world, and Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass provides guidance on how to introduce them to these practices in a fun and accessible way.

By teaching children about meditation, mindfulness, gratitude, and more, you’re not only giving them tools for emotional resilience and self-awareness but also planting the seeds for a lifelong spiritual journey. It’s a way to connect with your children on a deeper level and to empower them with practices that will support them throughout their lives.

7. A Lighthearted, Enjoyable Read

Let’s be honest—spirituality doesn’t have to be serious all the time. One of the most refreshing aspects of Get Your Head Out of Your Metaphysical Ass is its humor. The book is filled with lighthearted anecdotes, playful insights, and a conversational tone that makes it an enjoyable read from start to finish.
