Book excerpt: It's been four years since Steve and Sarah Miller discovered the magical portal to the kingdom of Lentari and took on the role of guardians to the crown prince, Mikal. The now-teenaged prince is adapting well to life in modern-day America, but their peaceful existence is rocked to the core when they are attacked by creatures not of this world, during a vacation trip. And when a second attack happens, they know they must return to Lentari and find out how someone from there has crossed into their world to endanger their lives. Crossing back through the portal, they discover trouble: dragon raids are on the rise; the dwarves are preparing to go to war; and an evil sorceress, Celestia, is the one who has managed to reach across time and space to attack Mikal on his protector's home world. Steve and Sarah’s only hope to save Mikal from Celestia and her minions lies with the recovery of a piece of an ancient talisman, the Amulet of Aria, believed lost centuries ago. Having the ability to enhance the holder's jhorun—their magical talent—to unheard of levels, the amulet pieces must be found before Celestia gains control of the most powerful magic in the kingdom and of Mikal himself.

Download or read book Ancient Christian Magic written by Marvin W. Meyer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-04 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking collection of magical texts from ancient Egypt shows the exotic rituals, esoteric healing practices, and incantatory and supernatural dimensions that flowered in early Christianity. These remarkable Christian magical texts include curses, spells of protection from "headless powers" and evil spirits, spells invoking thunderous powers, descriptions of fire baptism, and even recipes from a magical "cookbook." Virtually all the texts are by Coptic Christians, and they date from about the 1st-12th centuries of the common era, with the majority from late antiquity. By placing these rarely seen texts in historical context and discussing their significance, the authors explore the place of healing, prayer, miracles, and magic in the early Christian experience, and expand our understanding of Christianity and Gnosticism as a vital folk religion.

Download or read book The Era of the Martyrs written by Aaltje Hidding and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-08-24 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most traumatic experiences of Late Antique Christians was the Great Persecution, begun by Emperor Diocletian and his Tetrarchic colleagues in 303 CE. Here Aaltje Hidding unites research of traditional memory studies with work done by cognitive scientists to examine how they remembered the Persecution. The resulting methodological framework, the ‘cognitive ecology’, systemically studies all what can be covered by this term - social surroundings, cognitive artefacts and the physical environment - and bridges the gap between individual and collective memory. The author analyses the remembrance of the Persecution in three different regions along the Nile river. In Oxyrhynchus, the thousands of papyrus fragments found at the city’s rubbish dump give a vivid image of the martyrs in the daily lives of the Oxyrhynchites. In Antinoopolis, known for the cult of the physician saint Colluthus, she zooms in on the rituals and practices at a martyr’s sanctuary. Finally, in Dandara, the rich hagiographical dossier of the anchorite Paphnutius shows how old memories of the Persecution became mixed with new monastic experiences. The Bohairic and Greek Passion of Paphnutius appear in their first complete English translations.

If Jagger and Aria are to return safely home, they must find nine soul-infested gemstones, defeat an evil general, save the royal family, and figure out how to rescue themselves! Armed only with Jagger's knowledge of history and a few modern objects mined from his pockets and Aria's sparkly purse, the siblings have exactly one week to solve supernatural riddles and rescue the royal family. If they can pull it off, Jagger Jones just might return to Chicago a hero.
