Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 2012. Earth has fallen into a new calamity. Waves of monsters have risen to ravage the great cities. Humanity is mutating to become ogres, their basic instincts overridden for a singular cause: to conquer the world. The familiar sense has returned. This is not what is supposed to happen. Our history books do not record such an event occurring, yet it is. The war is seemingly hopeless as the ogres are unstoppable. But there is hope. Rumors persist of mythical creatures, monsters that fight for the human cause. They appear and disappear at random, capable of decimating the ogre ranks. Yet, in the enemy armies, there are the whispers of a singular leader who rules them all, perhaps the one responsible for starting all of it. A lone human woman fights for her people as Paris burns. It will be up to her and the mythics to solve the mysteries that lie from where the mutagen occurred and perhaps save humanity from annihilation….. Tales of Heroes is a fantasy and historical story woven into one, consisting of several stories in one book. It is a book of love, drama, action, and sex between those that are human and anthro-alike. Helsing and the Tales of Heroes continues after the events of Ayida-Weddo and the Tales of Heroes. https://www.gabatrix.net (Main Website) https://www.patreon.com/TheUniverseofCMed https://gofund.me/44b20522 (Gofundme Audiobook Project)

Download or read book Mysteries and Secrets of Voodoo Santeria and Obeah written by Patricia Fanthorpe and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2008-07-28 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secrets of Santeria, Voodoo and Obeah are among the oldest enigmas in the world. Their roots go back to pre-historic Africa - perhaps even beyond that. From the 16th century onwards, the slave trade brought these ancient mysteries to the West, where they blended strangely with traditional Christianity: the ancient African gods became identified with legendary saints. This integration of the two faiths slowly evolved to form the many varieties of Santeria, Obeah and Voudoun that are widely practiced throughout the world today. Their characteristic dancing and drumming seem able to invoke strange states of mind in which almost anything is possible. Even stories of zombies - the walking dead - still persist. Is there a rational explanation for them? Contemporary Voudoun priests, priestesses, magicians and enchanters use rare herbs and spices as well as charms, dolls and talismans to control the natural world in ways that science cannot always explain. Accounts of their inexplicable successes are examined in depth. Most intriguing of all are the claims that are made for their love philtres and aphrodisiacs. What powers do these old religions still possess?

Download or read book Fantastic Creatures in Mythology and Folklore written by Juliette Wood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on historical sources, myth and folklore, Fantastic Creatures in Mythology and Folklore explores the roles of fantastical beasts - particularly the unicorn, the mermaid, and the dragon - in a series of thematic chapters organised according to their legendary dwelling place, be this land, sea, or air. Through this original approach, Juliette Wood provides the first study of mythical beasts in history from the medieval period to the present day, providing new insights into the ways these creatures continue to define our constantly changing relationship to both real and imagined worlds. It places particular emphasis on the role of the internet, computer games, and the cyberspace community, and in doing so, demonstrates that the core medieval myth surrounding these creatures remains static within the ever-increasing arena of mass marketing and the internet. This is a vital resource for undergraduates studying fantastic creatures in history, literature and media studies.

Download or read book The Haitian Revolution in the Literary Imagination written by Philip Kaisary and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2014-02-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) reshaped the debates about slavery and freedom throughout the Atlantic world, accelerated the abolitionist movement, precipitated rebellions in neighboring territories, and intensified both repression and antislavery sentiment. The story of the birth of the world’s first independent black republic has since held an iconic fascination for a diverse array of writers, artists, and intellectuals throughout the Atlantic diaspora. Examining twentieth-century responses to the Haitian Revolution, Philip Kaisary offers a profound new reading of the representation of the Revolution by radicals and conservatives alike in primary texts that span English, French, and Spanish languages and that include poetry, drama, history, biography, fiction, and opera. In a complementary focus on canonical works by Aimé Césaire, C. L. R. James, Edouard Glissant, and Alejo Carpentier in addition to the work of René Depestre, Langston Hughes, and Madison Smartt Bell, Kaisary argues that the Haitian Revolution generated an enduring cultural and ideological inheritance. He addresses critical understandings and fictional reinventions of the Revolution and thinks through how, and to what effect, authors of major diasporic texts have metamorphosed and appropriated this spectacular corner of black revolutionary history.

Download or read book Gurps Voodoo written by C. J. Carella and published by Steve Jackson Games. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GURPS Voodoo: The Shadow War takes the myths of the mystical religions known as Voudoun and Santeria and gives them a twist, placing the believers and practitioners of Voodoo in the middle of a cosmic struggle. Voodoo priests and the shamans of many ancients cultures have unique views in how they can shape the world; this supplement includes a magic system to replicate those beliefs. The Shadow War is a conflict fought on many fronts. Voodoo Initiates contend with the Lodges, which consist of European magicians who have kept their occult power hidden and consider themselves the secret masters of the Western world. Beneath that struggle, some Initiates have begun to realize, lies a battle between Humankind and beings that have no use for power or wealth - only destruction. Unlike many "dark" RPGs, Voodoo is not about enduring horror, but fighting it. Human Spirit Warriors, monstrous In-Betweener renegades, and even ghosts can join forces and stop the manipulators and deceivers. The world of the Shadow War needs heroes, however frail or flawed they may be. Your characters may just be those heroes.

Download or read book Making Gender Making War written by Annica Kronsell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Gender, Making War is a unique interdisciplinary edited collection which explores the social construction of gender, war-making and peacekeeping. It highlights the institutions and processes involved in the making of gender in terms of both men and women, masculinity and femininity. The "war question for feminism" marks a thematic red thread throughout; it is a call to students and scholars of feminism to take seriously and engage with the task of analyzing war. Contributors analyze how war-making is intertwined with the making of gender in a diversity of empirical case studies, organized around four themes: gender, violence and militarism; how the making of gender is connected to a (re)making of the nation through military practices; UN SCR 1325 and gender mainstreaming in institutional practices; and gender subjectivities in the organization of violence, exploring the notion of violent women and non-violent men.
