Book excerpt: John Sebastian Marlow Ward (1885-1949) was an English antiquarian, mystic, occult scholar, and museums' pioneer. Ward's provocative works on Masonic symbolism, secret societies, and spirit communications remain in print, and the innovative social history museum - the Abbey Folk Park - which he founded in New Barnet, north London in the 1930s, was later transplanted to Queensland, Australia, where it continues to flourish. His career demonstrates a remarkable fusion of the esoteric and spiritual pre-occupations of the early 20th century, with the deeper currents of antiquarianism and Christian mysticism. Ward's life of energetic work, spiritual exploration, and public activity presents a compelling narrative. His career moved from Cambridge Freemasonry and Edwardian Britain's occult revival to wartime spirit communications and mystical visions of a Pentecostal apocalypse as World War II approached. His unique and populist history museum fused a passion for Britain's disappearing heritage with his conviction that the collapse of Western civilization was imminent. When Ward was unfairly disgraced in a sensational court case in May 1945, he and his followers departed England for Cyprus in self-imposed exile. Archangels and Archaeology examines Ward's extraordinary life and career, demonstrating how these religious, intellectual, and cultural themes - so often treated in isolation - came together in the turbulent decades of the early 20th century. But, his career also has its own tragic arc: from youthful antiquarian, to the mature scholar, to full-blown mystic and eccentric religious leader, and, finally, to his own fall from public grace, in exile and decline.
Download or read book The Archangel Michael in Africa written by Ingvild Saelid Gilhus and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes an interdisciplinary approach in order to understand angels, focusing on Africa and the cult and persona of the Archangel Michael. Traditional methods in the study of religion including philology, papyrology, art and iconography, anthropology, history, and psychology are combined with methodologies deriving from memory studies, graphic design, art education, and semiotics. Chapters explore both historical and contemporary case studies from Coptic Egypt, Nubia, Ethiopia, and South Africa, providing a comparative perspective on the Archangel Michael, alongside 25 images. Innovative in both its methodologies and geographical focus, this book is an important contribution to the study of religion and art, Christianity in Africa, and Coptic studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatness of America is right under our feet. The American past—the people, battles, industry and homes—can be found not only in libraries and museums, but also in hundreds of archaeological sites that scientists investigate with great care. These sites are not in distant lands, accessible only by research scientists, but nearby—almost every locale possesses a parcel of land worthy of archaeological exploration. Archaeology in America is the first resource that provides students, researchers, and anyone interested in their local history with a survey of the most important archaeological discoveries in North America. Leading scholars, most with an intimate knowledge of the area, have written in-depth essays on over 300 of the most important archaeological sites that explain the importance of the site, the history of the people who left the artifacts, and the nature of the ongoing research. Archaeology in America divides it coverage into 8 regions: the Arctic and Subarctic, the Great Basin and Plateau, the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains, the Midwest, the Northeast, the Southeast, the Southwest, and the West Coast. Each entry provides readers with an accessible overview of the archaeological site as well as books and articles for further research.

Download or read book Building English Vocabulary with Etymology from Greek Book IV written by Peter Beaven and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etymology is the study of word origins and development. It provides one of the easiest and most effective ways to build vocabulary, because knowledge of some common roots and prefixes makes possible the figuring out of new word meanings. English is compounded of several languages, primarily Anglo-Saxon (Germanic) and Latin. Their Latin influence persists notably in the names of English cities ending in "-caster" or "-chester," from the Latin "castra" meaning "encampment." This is the fourth book of a series that focuses on etymology from Latin and Greek. This book focuses on Greek roots. The texts are designed to aid in learning the definitions of specific, deconstructed words. The meanings of a series of "reusable" classical prefixes and roots are presented that facilitate the deciphering of multiple related words.
Download or read book The Real History of Earth written by Sal Rachele and published by Light Technology Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the Real History of Earth. You will not find this material in your high school or college history classes. In fact, the so-called “powers that be” who appear to control the educational process on this planet definitely DO NOT want you to have this information. It is said that knowledge is power. The purpose of this book is to empower you to live an awakened life, full of creativity and compassion. Knowing how and why things are the way they are on Earth gives each of us the power to make effective changes, both within ourselves and the world. If you are a physicist, biologist, archaeologist, anthropologist or economist, this material will likely challenge your deepest and most cherished ideas of reality. Due to the world of the Internet, the ideas presented herein can be researched and investigated thoroughly, and the author encourages you to do so. This book explores several deep questions that have plagued humanity since time began, including such timeless classics as “Why is there so much suffering on Earth?” and “How do we break out of our self-imposed prison of negative thoughts and beliefs?” We will also answer the question of how we came to be on this small planet at the edge of a rather average galaxy, with our racial and ethnic mix, languages and cultural habits. Also, we will tread on some “sacred cows,” including the belief that humanity evolved from the ape, and the idea that this is the most advanced civilization that has existed on Earth (both incorrect assumptions). We urge you to keep an open mind while reading this book. Do not blindly accept or reject anything that is being said. Unless a mind is open, there is no way to attain greater knowledge and wisdom. Have you ever tried pouring liquid into a closed container? So, dear readers, fasten your seat belt and open the book for a wonderful ride!
