Download or read book Breaking the Magic Spell written by Jack Zipes and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2002-07-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised, expanded, and updated edition of the 1979 landmark Breaking the Magic Spell examines the enduring power of fairy tales and the ways they invade our subjective world. In seven provocative essays, Zipes discusses the importance of investigating oral folk tales in their socio-political context and traces their evolution into literary fairy tales, a metamorphosis that often diminished the ideology of the original narrative. Zipes also looks at how folk tales influence our popular beliefs and the ways they have been exploited by a corporate media network intent on regulating the mystical elements of the stories. He examines a range of authors, including the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, Ernst Bloch, Tolkien, Bettelheim, and J.K. Rowling to demonstrate the continuing symbiotic relationship between folklore and literature.

Book excerpt: From national bestselling author Lisa Shearin comes a new chapter in "one of the best fantasy series currently on the market." (Night Owl Reviews) My name is Raine Benares—and it sucks to be me right now. I’m a seeker who found the Saghred, a soul-stealing stone that gave me unlimited powers I never wanted. Now I’ve lost the rock—and the magic it gave me—to a goblin dark mage whose main goals are my death and world domination. This is more than incentive enough for a little trip to the goblin capital of Regor with a small band of good friends, not-so-good friends, and one outright enemy. Don’t ask. All we need to do is destroy the Saghred, kill the mage, and put a renegade goblin prince on the throne. Did I mention I’ll be doing that with no magic?

Download or read book Breaking Demonic Spells and Curses written by Gedaliah Shay and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you understand what the Bible says about blessings, demonic curses, and spells? Do you realize that you can be cursed a similar way you can be blessed? The Bible is not a one-sided book because as it talks about Blessings, it also talks about Curses. Today, similarly as in Biblical occasions, individuals with cruel intentions still place curses, spells, and wickedness on others. They can force undetectable obstructions in your day to day existence that can influence your wellbeing, business, and connections in profoundly negative ways. Also, curses can come not only from an external perspective through condemnations and black magic, but from inside ourselves if we harbor disdain, harshness, cruelty, and unforgiveness in our souls (Matthew 18:21-35). Be that as it may, Christians can't be completely and completely controlled by the Devil was because of the Holy Spirit. This book helps you break all curses, spells, witchcraft, and even evil intentions, witchcraft, and wish craft sent to you in just seven days. Learn how to deliver yourself as a Christian from the antics of evil-doers; how to be loaded up with the Holy Spirit and move from being under a curse to appreciating the gifts and blessings of Abraham and Jesus Christ! In this book, you will figure out how to break through from these powers working in your life by revoking all contact, relationship with, and cooperation in wickedness and by following Jesus Christ completely and getting His incredible endowments through the Holy Spirit of God. It is the Cross of Jesus Christ that will liberate you. You can't do this without anyone's help. It isn't sorcery; You don't counter enchantment with more wizardry. If you, a friend, or family member need help managing invisible boundaries and impediments that might be restricting God's blessings and destiny for your life, "Breaking Demonic Spells and Curses", is the book to help you. It will invalidate any condemnations to get God's endowments in your day to day existence.

Download or read book Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion written by Jack Zipes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fairy tale may be one of the most important cultural and social influences on children's lives. But until Fairy Tales and the Art of Subversion, little attention had been paid to the ways in which the writers and collectors of tales used traditional forms and genres in order to shape children's lives – their behavior, values, and relationship to society. As Jack Zipes convincingly shows, fairy tales have always been a powerful discourse, capable of being used to shape or destabilize attitudes and behavior within culture. For this new edition, the author has revised the work throughout and added a new introduction bringing this classic title up to date.

Download or read book Buddhist Magic written by Sam van Schaik and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating exploration of the role that magic has played in the history of Buddhism As far back as we can see in the historical record, Buddhist monks and nuns have offered services including healing, divination, rain making, aggressive magic, and love magic to local clients. Studying this history, scholar Sam van Schaik concludes that magic and healing have played a key role in Buddhism's flourishing, yet they have rarely been studied in academic circles or by Western practitioners. The exclusion of magical practices and powers from most discussions of Buddhism in the modern era can be seen as part of the appropriation of Buddhism by Westerners, as well as an effect of modernization movements within Asian Buddhism. However, if we are to understand the way Buddhism has worked in the past, the way it still works now in many societies, and the way it can work in the future, we need to examine these overlooked aspects of Buddhist practice. In Buddhist Magic, van Schaik takes a book of spells and rituals--one of the earliest that has survived--from the Silk Road site of Dunhuang as the key reference point for discussing Buddhist magic in Tibet and beyond. After situating Buddhist magic within a cross-cultural history of world magic, he discusses sources of magic in Buddhist scripture, early Buddhist rituals of protection, medicine and the spread of Buddhism, and magic users. Including material from across the vast array of Buddhist traditions, van Schaik offers readers a fascinating, nuanced view of a topic that has too long been ignored.

Years later, she is doing what her teenage self swore she never would: living a quiet existence on the misty, remote shores of Saoirse Island and running the family’s business, Blackwood’s Tea Shoppe Herbal Tonics & Tea Leaf Readings. But when the island, rooted in folklore and magic, begins to show signs of strange happenings, Emery knows that something is coming. The morning she wakes to find that every single tree on Saoirse has turned color in a single night, August returns for the first time in fourteen years and unearths the past that the town has tried desperately to forget. August knows he is not welcome on Saiorse, not after the night everything changed. As a fire raged on at the Salt family orchard, Lily Morgan was found dead in the dark woods, shaking the bedrock of their tight-knit community and branding August a murderer. When he returns to bury his mother’s ashes, he must confront the people who turned their backs on him and face the one wound from his past that has never healed—Emery. But the town has more than one reason to want August gone, and the emergence of deep betrayals and hidden promises spanning generations threaten to reveal the truth behind Lily’s mysterious death once and for all.
