The Poisoned Embrace is a provocative investigation into the history of sexual pessimism as it has evolved in Western theology throughout the ages. Since the days of the Early Fathers, sex and death have formed a theological equation known as sexual pessimism. This aversion to the carnal, and its consequent elevation of the virginal and the chaste, springs not from Christianity, but from Gnosticism. Osborne examines the art, mythologies, and traditions of Christendom, and distinguishes thematic archetypes: the Virgin, the Witch, the Leper, the Noble Savage, the Jew, the Oriental, the Androgyne, and Don Juan. He traces our now-glorified ideal of sexual passion back to the Troubadours and Northern Mystics, and explores how the Passion of the Cross relates the ideas of sublime passion and therapeutic energy.Binding Type: Paperback

Fast charger
Style: Qi2 Charging Mount
Simple to install. Holds tightly and has enough adjustment flexibility to get your phone positioned the way you want it. Fast charger and mag holds tightly. Only downside is where to plug in the charging cord. But that would be a problem with any external charger.

charger works, not the adhesive on the ring.
Style: Qi2 Charging Mount
The metal ring adhesive was destroyed by the unit's heat in a few weeks. Do not buy it if you need the adhesive ring to hold the phone. The blinking light ring is annoying - why is it needed.

LOVE this Charger!
Style: Qi2 Charging Mount
This is one of the best chargers I have ever had! My phone stopped charging via the cord and this was my solution and what a awesome one it is! It charges very fast! I also LOVE the way it looks attached to my Tesla screen. Its like having a second screen. I can do Waze on one screen and Tesla navigation on the main screen. I can also control Sirius XM without having to subscribe to it separately for my tesla - which by the way is ridiculous if you already have a subscription…just make sure you done have Allstate DriveWise or other haptics that track weather you’re using your iphone while driving.
