Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The truth of Lucifer and Sophia is the world’s biggest secret,” said Joe. “To get this story right, you basically have to retell the history of reality itself.” That’s what Joe, Mike, and Ronald, pals since childhood and now in their late sixties, set out to do. Lucifer and Sophia were the first two archangels ever created, but their reputations today are in ruins or obscurity. They want to find out why. After much travelling and on-site investigation, they discover that the true story of these two primary archangels is not what people have thought. It is the key that unlocks the purpose and destiny of the Earth. The final outcome of humanity is implicated too. Many diverse cultures maintain cultural images of these two figures, and in many cases, their images are positive, uplifting, even comic. This trio of geomythic researchers take the Greek icon of Prometheus bound on Mount Caucasus for defying Zeus as their rallying point and seek to probe its true meaning. Mythic images, especially old ones, need to be decoded for the modern mind. They tend to have layers of meaning and you shortchange yourself if you either dismiss them or take them only on a literal basis. You have to jump into them psychically, put them on like clothes, and get mythopoeic about these old stories. Along the way, as they visit sites in America, the British Isles, Japan, Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe, Chile, Mexico, and other far-flung locales, they’re assisted by angels, Ray Masters, and the genius loci of the many sites that preserve a myth of these two archangels. Foremost among the places visited is Ireland, the legendary Emerald Isle, and it turns out this island nation, anciently called Ériu-Land after its presiding landscape goddess, has a pivotal world role to play in the restitution of these mythic figures and the future well-being of the planet and its humanity.

Download or read book Of Rogues and Monsters written by Mary Ann Hinrichs and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-07-21 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Real monsters don’t live inside books. They live inside us, patiently waiting for the moment we decide to let them out.” - Ro McBay The Book of Fae is not a fairytale, but a survival manual written for humans. Written for those who have the ability to see through faery glamour, for humans who can see fae-kind. Humans like Ro McBay. At eighteen, all Ro wants is to forget. To forget Faery. To forget Cian, the fae warrior who died screaming her name. To forget she saved both faery and humankind from an army of vengeful immortals. To forget she breathed life into the Queen of Faery. To forget her father is a fae prince. To forget his blood runs through her veins. And forgetting means returning to the mortal realm, to her nagging mom, to her crazy, best friend, to her boring, human life. Unfortunately, forgetting comes with a price - a promise to Eriu, the Queen of Faery, the promise Ro will return to the immortal realm by the Winter Solstice. It’s a lie, of course. For if Ro has learned anything from the fae, it’s how to skirt the truth. And the truth is, Ro has no intention of ever returning to the ruthless kingdom. But lying to the Queen of Faery is dangerous business. No one deceives Eriu and survives, especially a half-blood. And if Ro McBay believes she can lie to the most powerful immortal in the realm, the girl will learn the importance of truth. Truth is the half-blood can’t hide from Eriu, not when the fae queen has plans for humankind, plans which require Ro McBay’s blood. Plans which will teach Ro a cruel truth. Real monsters aren’t born, they are made.

Download or read book Uisneach or the Center of Ireland written by Frédéric Armao and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hill of Uisneach lies almost exactly at the geographical center of Ireland. Remarkably, a fraction at least of the ancient Irish population was aware of that fact. There is no doubt that the place of Uisneach in Irish mythology, and more broadly speaking the Celtic world, was of utmost importance: Uisneach was – and probably still is – best defined as a sacred hill at the center of Ireland, possibly the sacred hill of the center of Ireland. Uisneach or the Center of Ireland explores the medieval documents connected with the hill and compares them with both archeological data and modern Irish folklore. In the early 21st century, a Fire Festival started being held on Uisneach in connection with the festival of Bealtaine, in early May, arguably in an attempt to echo more ancient traditions: the celebration was attended by Michael D. Higgins, the current president of Ireland, who lit the fire of Uisneach on 6 May 2017. This book argues that the symbolic significance of the hill has echoed the evolution of Irish society through time, be it in political, spiritual and religious terms or, perhaps more accurately, in terms of identity and Irishness. It is relevant for scholars and advanced students in the fields of cultural history, Irish history and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging book contains twelve chapters by scholars who explore aspects of the fascinating field of Celtic mythology – from myth and the medieval to comparative mythology, and the new cosmological approach. Examples of the innovative research represented here lead the reader into an exploration of the possible use of hallucinogenic mushrooms in Celtic Ireland, to mental mapping in the interpretation of the Irish legend Táin Bó Cuailgne, and to the integration of established perspectives with broader findings now emerging at the Indo-European level and its potential to open up the whole field of mythology in a new way.

Download or read book Of Blood and Sacrifice written by Mary Ann Hinrichs and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be eighteen, Ro McBay has never met her father, has never learned his name, and has never seen his photograph. He left on the day of Ro’s birth and never returned. When Ro’s old and extremely odd next door neighbor, Mrs. O’Leary, gets a visit from a handsome, young stranger, Ro’s secret dream of someday meeting her father becomes a nightmare - one which may possibly kill her. After the stranger admits he is a warrior fae sent by Queen Eriu of Faery, he offers Ro a chance at saving her father and the mortal realm. Ro doesn’t know if the distracting Cian Brodie is simply crazy or full-on certifiable. Faeries aren’t real, right? But when Torin, an assassin from the Winter Court, begins hunting Ro as well, she is forced to see the truth for what it is - a death sentence. “No, luv, not a lie, but a horrible truth. My kind are infamous for their brutal honesty and deadly honor. Come with me now, and maybe my liege will keep you.” Forced to choose between death or enslavement, Ro’s destiny is one of blood and sacrifice.
