Written in the late 1300s by Geoffrey Chaucer, it established English as a literary language and provides insight into medieval English society through vivid portrayals of pilgrims from different social classes.

A "Renaissance man" referred to someone accomplished in many areas, unlike the medieval ideal man.

Shakespeare Introduction
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor born around 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote 37 plays and numerous sonnets and poems. His plays can be categorized as tragedies, histories, or comedies. Shakespeare's plays were performed in polygonal theaters like the Globe with three levels, an open center stage surrounded on three sides by the audience, and an upper stage used as a balcony. Actors in Shakespeare's time were all male, even for female roles, and costumes were passed down and not necessarily fashionable. Theater was seen as just above brothels in society at the time.

Modern acts of chivalry include offering your jacket if cold, holding doors for others, standing when a woman leaves or arrives at the table, getting the car in rain, walking closest to the street, offering a ride home, opening car doors, and introducing her to others.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life.

The forces involved in this witchcraft spell will re-establish the loving bond between you and help to build a strong, loving relationship from which to start anew. Despite any previous hardships or problems, the spell work will re-establish the strong bonds of friendship and love upon which the marriage and relationship originated. Have faith, these stop divorce and stop separation spells are extremely powerful and will reconnect you and your partner in a strong and harmonious relationship.
My ritual will not only stop separation and divorce, but rebuild a strong bond between you and your partner that is based on truth, honesty, and unconditional love. For an even stronger effect, you may want to consider using the Eternal Love Bond spell to ensure your relationship and love will last through all tests of time. If you have not yet determined if your partner is considering separation or divorce, but are aware of rifts in the relationship, try the Love Spells to remove problems in a relationship or marriage. Keep in mind that all my love spells are 100% customized and that you'll only need 1 spell to address all problems/wishes.
Save your marriage from divorce & make your relationship stronger using anti divorce spells to make him or her fall back in love with you. End your marriage if you are no longer in love with your husband or wife. Permanently end your marriage using divorce spells that work fast. Protect your marriage from divorce using love spells to boost commitment, love & bind your hearts together for a stronger marriage that will last. Get your ex lover who has remarried using divorce spells to break up a couple & make your ex lost lover come back to you permanently.
