Download or read book The Bard is a Very Singular Character written by Ffion Mair Jones and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cunning and successful literary forger, Iolo Morganwg has been a controversial figure within Welsh literary tradition and history ever since his death in 1826. During his lifetime, however, he was largely a figure on the margins of Welsh literary society, who found the task of getting his work into the coveted sphere of print culture a gargantuan one. This book examines how he dealt with the frustrations of his marginality – writing sardonic remarks in the margins of books published by his contemporaries, and submerging himself in a mound of scrap paper on which he wrote numerous drafts of poems and conducted original work on the Welsh language.

Download or read book Coelbren written by John Michael Greer and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reveal the secrets of the esoteric druidic alphabet and unlock its potential as a powerful magical tool. Writing systems have been used for magical power and mystical insight in spiritual history throughout history, and the Coelbren Alphabet is no different. Originally devised by a famous Welsh poet, the Bardic Alphabet, known as the Coelbren, has always seemed to hold great promise in the esoteric world. But because of its impenetrable nature, the capacity of the Coelbrean Alphabet as a system of divination has remained hidden, simply a relic of a bygone era. However, in this revised and expanded edition of his classic book John Michael Greer illuminates the power of the Alphabet and shows you how to implement it to full effect in your magical studies. The book provides the name of each letter, alongside the Welsh keyword, meaning, symbolism and pronunciation as well as the divinatory interpretation of each letter, showing readers how to use this unique system for divination and magic. It also provides sample readings, scrying, meditation techniques and tips for making your own Coelbren set. The new edition includes a chapter on gematria, as well as expanded chapters on the symbolism and magic of the alphabet.

Download or read book Beyond the Narratives written by John Michael Greer and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003 John Michael Greer became the seventh Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA), an initiatory organization teaching Celtic nature spirituality which was founded in 1912. The outcome was that his writings began to stray into territory very far from the Hermetic occult philosophy that had been the previous focus of his career. The essays included in this volume chronicle some of the themes he explored as a result: Druidry, Jungian psychology, politics, history, and the shape of the future in a society in decline.

Download or read book The Natural Genesis written by Gerald Massey and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Egyptologist Gerald Massey challenged readers in A Book of the Beginnings to consider the argument that Egypt was the birthplace of civilization and that the widespread monotheistic vision of man and the metaphysical was, in fact, based on ancient Egyptian mythos. In The Natural Genesis, Massey delivers a sequel, delving deeper into his compelling polemic. In Volume I, he offers a more intellectual, fine-tuned analysis of the development of society out of Egypt. From the simplest signs (numbers, the cross) to the grandest archetypes (darkness, the mother figure), Massey carefully and confidently lays the cultural and psychosocial bricks of Evolutionism. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World.
