Book excerpt: A spunky, feminist take on the myth of Gaia, the Greek goddess of the Earth Long before the age of the Olympian gods, Gaia created the world in all its beauty. But from Gaia also came the Titans, who ran wild and free through this world—until her husband Ouranos turned on Gaia and declared himself the ruler of all she’d created. Her son Cronus then rose to power, but soon he too became hungry for more power—so much so that he swallowed his own children. But Gaia managed to hide the youngest son, Zeus, from Cronus. Zeus grew up and defeated Cronus and saved his brothers and sisters. Gaia thought this would be the end of all the needless war, but Zeus was not satisfied—he swore to rid the world of anyone who challenged his power. Gaia was furious. She wanted no part in the world of Zeus. She would not fight his destruction with more destruction. It might be too late for Zeus, but it wasn’t too late for the mortals—or for the earth itself. Follow the goddess of earth through her struggles with gods and mortals as she discovers her strength and eventually finds the peace she has always longed for. Tales of Great Goddesses are graphic novels that bring the stories of some of the most powerful and fascinating mythical goddesses to life!

Download or read book Is Gaia God written by Henry T. Mullins and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book "Is Gaia God?", reflects my personal journey and struggles to come to grips with a tangible, benevolent God. Born and raised Roman Catholic, and as a former gravedigger, I had trouble understanding God. As an academic scientist for 33 years, I am now retired and have had time to research and intellectually contemplate this very important, but personal, question. I blend elements of science and religion to come to my own answer to the question - Is Gaia God? - that I would like to share with you in this short book. I discuss what science is, what Gaia is and what religion is, and take a look at specific examples from both sides to reach my conclusion that many may find surprising. My conclusion is just that - mine - and may not be for everyone, but my efforts were well intentioned and objective with the ultimate goal of our global society putting aside our religious difference for the betterment of humankind.

Download or read book Journey Through the World of Spirit written by David L. Oakford and published by Reality Press. This book was released on 2007-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Oakford's story is true, real, and utterly profound. Although street drugs were clearly the initial for this NDE, what happened next was a full-blown ascended state of consciousness that is well-documented in the spiritual and scientific literature. This book is once again revealing that NDE's are not magic, nor do they produce saints. And we can think David for baring his soul as to the psychic struggles and the depression that followed his awakening. Because ultimately there emerged a transformed man who knew, positively knew, that there is more to life and death than we are taught in our religious organizations, and more to God's greater plan for us than we can imagine today.

Download or read book Gaia s Gift written by Anne Primavesi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaia's Gift, the second of Anne Primavesi's explorations of human relationships with the earth, asks that we complete the ideological revolution set in motion by Copernicus and Darwin concerning human importancene. They challenged the notion of our God-given centrality within the universe and within earth's evolutionary history. Yet as our continuing exploitation of earth's resources and species demonstrates, we remain wedded to the theological assumption that these are there for our sole use and benefit. Now James Lovelock's scientific understanding of the existential reality of Gaia's gift of life again raises the question of our proper place within the universe. It turns us decisively towards an understanding of ourselves as dependent on, rather than in control of, the whole earth community.

Download or read book Gods of Gaia The Bearer of Hope written by Ian Marrero and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-08-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gods Of Gaia: The Bearer Of Hope, is a young adult fantasy that harkens to the world created by Robert E. Howard and drawn by Frank Frazetta. It is written with the language and veracity dispelled by the likes of David Liss (Benjamin Weaver story arcs) and John Connolly (Samuel Johnson's saga). Add the ideas explored in Vonnegut's Player Piano and Sirens Of The Titans, and you are starting to build the world of Gaia. What if there was an advanced civilization that lived before us, and now lived amongst us? How would we turn out if we started interbreeding? How would religion aid in creating narratives to dominate the masses? What if those that ruled enjoyed above all else feasting on the flesh of their subjects? Gods Of Gaia: The Bearer Of Hope should tuck neatly into the young adult fantasy fiction catalogue, but challenges its readers to reconceptionalize what the genre is while holding steadfast to the truth of all great fiction, critically thinking about our own place in the world.

Download or read book On Gaia written by Toby Tyrrell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-21 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical examination of James Lovelock's controversial Gaia hypothesis One of the enduring questions about our planet is how it has remained continuously habitable over vast stretches of geological time despite the fact that its atmosphere and climate are potentially unstable. James Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis posits that life itself has intervened in the regulation of the planetary environment in order to keep it stable and favorable for life. First proposed in the 1970s, Lovelock's hypothesis remains highly controversial and continues to provoke fierce debate. On Gaia undertakes the first in-depth investigation of the arguments put forward by Lovelock and others—and concludes that the evidence doesn't stack up in support of Gaia. Toby Tyrrell draws on the latest findings in fields as diverse as climate science, oceanography, atmospheric science, geology, ecology, and evolutionary biology. He takes readers to obscure corners of the natural world, from southern Africa where ancient rocks reveal that icebergs were once present near the equator, to mimics of cleaner fish on Indonesian reefs, to blind fish deep in Mexican caves. Tyrrell weaves these and many other intriguing observations into a comprehensive analysis of the major assertions and lines of argument underpinning Gaia, and finds that it is not a credible picture of how life and Earth interact. On Gaia reflects on the scientific evidence indicating that life and environment mutually affect each other, and proposes that feedbacks on Earth do not provide robust protection against the environment becoming uninhabitable—or against poor stewardship by us.

Book excerpt: A spunky, feminist take on the myth of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and courage From the moment she sprung from Zeus’s head, Athena was extraordinary.

Follow the goddess of wisdom through her adventures with gods and mortals, discover the perils of crossing her, and see how she eventually learned to better understand and aid the human race.

Download or read book The Goddess Revival written by Aída Besançon Spencer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Goddess Revival is a Christianity Today Book Award Winner, 1996. "All of the authors are clearly sympathetic to the problems women have faced in the church throughout its history. They empathize with women who shun the patriarchal oppression of their churches to turn to goddess spirituality. They are also solidly grounded in the Scriptures, Christian theology and church history. They recognize the bondage imposed by goddess worship. This book presents a scholarly and clear consideration of the issues involved and builds a strong case for Christianity as the most woman-friendly alternative. While providing a comprehensive study of goddess spirituality and examining the roots of the movement, the authors focus primarily on God and the way people have understood God through the centuries--in both paganism and the Judeo-Christian tradition--as both male and female. They demonstrate how the uniqueness of God contrasts with the multiplicity of gods and goddesses in pagan spiritualities, while comparing the values in both traditions that are similar (that is, a search for what is good, inner empowerment, unity, positive social change). In the process of building a clear Christian theology, they gently counter the arguments of their pagan opponents. In the end, the reader is left with a glorious picture of the one true God and a clear apologetic for those in nursing who insist that the Christian God is too oppressive and patriarchal to merit our allegience. The appendixes provide a powerful case study of a young woman drawn into witchcraft. She explains why it appealed to her, then how it enslaved her and destroyed her marriage and other relationships. . . The two final appendixes offer some excellent biblical studies on the issues raised in the book. The total package provides an outstanding resource" -- Journal of Christian Nursing

Download or read book Theogony and Works and Days written by Hesiod and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hesiod, who lived in Boetia in the late eighth century BC, is one of the oldest known, and possibly the oldest of Greek poets. His Theogony contains a systematic genealogy of the gods from the beginning of the world and an account of the struggles of the Titans. In contrast, Works and Days is a compendium of moral and practical advice on husbandry, and throws unique and fascinating light on archaic Greek society. As well as offering the earliest known sources for the myths of Pandora, Prometheus and the Golden Age, Hesiod's poetry provides a valuable account of the ethics and superstitions of the society in which he lived. Unlike Homer, Hesiod writes about himself and his family, and he stands out as the first personality in European literature. This new translation, by a leading expert on the Hesiodic poems combines accuracy with readability. It is accompanied by an introduction and explanatory notes. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
