Download or read book Access to Western Esotericism written by Antoine Faivre and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1994-12-05 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first systematic treatment of esotericism to appear in English. Here is also a historical survey, beginning with the Alexandrean Period, of the various esoteric currents such as Christian Kabbalah, Theosophy, Alchemy, Rosicrucianism, and Hermeticism. Common characteristics of these currents are the notion of universal interdependency and the experience of spiritual transformation. The author establishes a rigorous methodology; provides clarifying definitions of such key terms as gnosis, theosophy, occultism, and Hermeticism; and offers analysis of contemporary esotericism based on three distinct pathways. The second half of the book presents a series of studies on several important figures, works, and movements in Western esotericismstudies devoted to some of the most characteristic and illuminating aspects that this form of thought has taken, such as theosophical speculations on androgyny, rosicrucian literature, and Masonic symbolism. The book is completed by a rich and selective Bibliography conceived as a means of orientation and a tool for research.
Download or read book Work and Creativity written by André LaCocque and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible highly praises human creativity. In fact, work belongs to Adam’s very creation, homo faber in the image of deus faber (Gen. 2:15). Human production is nevertheless seen in the Bible as imbued with an ambiguous value. In Work and Creativity, André LaCocque reflects on the biblical understanding of labor, juxtaposing texts from the book of Genesis with the conceptions of work of psychoanalysts and philosophers such as Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx, and proposing a dialectical approach to human work and creativity.
Download or read book Nordic Magic Healing written by Yves Kodratoff and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Galdr is a song or howling by which a poem written in runes is "made active." Anthropological texts will often describe a healing ritual where the healer has been seen to mutter some indistinct words over the patient. This book gives these 'mutterings' back their true meaning and importance. It will also explain their rational value by clearly stating the root causes of the sickness, and explore their religious meaning. The poetry and creativity of these chants combine to form a very effective healing technique, albeit a very difficult one. Many of you will be familiar with karate's 'scream that kills', that came to us from the East. We will explore the 'scream (or song) that heals' called galdr by the Norse. In this book, galdr will be explored in two ways: by looking at a new interpretation of the famous Finish epic, Kalevala; and by considering pagan charms from various parts of the world, including two unexpected sources, those from Lithuania (not yet published) and those from Hildegard von Bingen (a German Christian visionary of the early twelfth century, whose charms were not considered to be Pagan). The Kalevala teaches us the twelve steps for physical healing, and the nine steps for healing mental illness. Old charms are used as a model for buidling new ones.

Download or read book Livre Des Oeuvres Divines Le written by Hildegarde Bingen and published by Albin Michel. This book was released on 2011 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patronne des médecines douces, écologiste en avance de huit siècles, star médiévale de la musique post-moderne ou diététicienne géniale, Hildegarde de Bingen est surtout une sainte hors norme dont les visions étranges inspirèrent aux théologiens un respect distancé. Née au coeur de la tourmente des Croisades, elle fut dès son plus jeune âge, et jusque dans sa vieillesse, gratifiée de visions mystiques extraordinaires. Ses cosmologies divines, à l’imagerie puissante, sont de plus ancrées dans une théologie rigoureuse qui ont imposé Hildegarde de Bingen, de son vivant même, comme un modèle vivant de sainteté et comme une autorité en matière de foi. Consultée aussi bien par les papes que par les empereurs (Frédéric Barberousse), communiquant avec Bernard de Clairvaux, elle incarna ce XIIe siècle grandiose et tourmenté, pétri de mystique et de politique et vivant dans l’imminence du Royaume de Dieu. Le Livre des oeuvres divines, son ultime recueil de visions, sublime la confusion de son siècle, si proche finalement du nôtre. Oeuvre intemporelle, ce livre est aussi formidablement actuel, comme toute véritable oeuvre prophétique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'heure où l'occident s'interroge sur ses racines spirituelles, les cosmologies visionnaires du Moyen Age suscitent un regain d'intérêt. C'est ainsi que l'oeuvre mystique d'Hildegarde de Bingen, trop longtemps oubliée, resurgit dans toute sa splendeur, témoignant d'une puissance poétique et d'une profondeur spirituelle rarement égalée. La sainte allemande du XIIe Siècle , contemporaine des Croisades, de Bernard de Clairvaux et de l'empereur Barberousse, répond à travers Le Livre des oeuvres divines, son ultime écrit, à la confusion de son siècle et du nôtre. Véritable prophétesse chrétienne, elle lance, en dix grandioses visions, le pari lumineux et cohérent de l'ordre de Dieu, de la nature et de l'homme.
