Book excerpt: My world isn’t safe. The northern gate lies open and monsters roam the land. Towns are locked behind walls, protected by the emperor and his Black Army. Once, a fated priestess and her four guardians kept the gate sealed with magic, but there hasn’t been a priestess in over a century…or so I thought. When a monster attacks me within the walls of my village, I am saved by Sir Forrest—the quiet former soldier who came to Istim three years ago. Turns out, he’s been watching me. Waiting for my powers to awaken. I am the fated priestess. But there have been others. The genius commander Abel and the Black Army have killed them all. Sir Forrest found out the truth, and now he is driven by his sacred mission to help me find my guardians and bring me to the gate. All I have to do? Find them and join with them in the Grand Quintet to grant them the powers I apparently hold, close the gate, and save the world…without suffering the same dire fate as the priestesses who came before me. I’ve always liked attention…but this is too much. This reverse harem epic fantasy romance trilogy is for those who enjoy plenty of steam, strong heroines, a few hot guys (and one who is just pretty and probably sparkles), more tragic pasts and secrets than any group of people should reasonably have, and winged cats.

Download or read book The Maya Book of Life written by Michael Owen and published by Kahurangi Press. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE MAYA BOOK OF LIFE: UNDERSTANDING THE XULTUN TAROT is the companion book to the Xultun Tarot Classic Edition. It explores the archetypes and alchemy of the major arcana of the Xultun Tarot through indigenous teachings and the analytical psychology of C G Jung and casts new light on the meaning of 2012. The Xultun Tarot was created by Peter Balin in 1976 based on images from Maya history and culture. Taken from a single painting, it is the only tarot deck where the major arcana form a complete picture. This picture is a symbolic image of the alchemical marriage of spirit and matter and a map of what Jung called the individuation process. Only 500 copies of the original Xultun Tarot were ever printed. Now Kahurangi Press (xultun.com) has recreated this classic, long out-of-print deck true to its original large size and vibrant colours together with a book that explains the profound symbolism of the cards. Michael Owen is a clinical psychologist in private practice and author of Jung and the Native American Moon Cycles. He lives in New Zealand.

When omega Stephen Silva saves the life of wolf prince Malcolm Dacian on the night of his coronation, he has no idea how drastically his life will change. As a lycanastri mage, Stephen's research into a strange rip in the fabric of the universe is everything to him. But when he rushes in to protect Malcolm from a magical attack, the magic goes haywire, binding his soul to the prince's forever, allowing them to feel each other's most intimate emotions. But worse, it severs him from his magic, ripping away the one thing that ever gave his life meaning. Crown Prince Malcolm Dacian has too many problems to worry about a nobody omega mage. He hasn't had time to mourn his father's death, the kingdom is plagued with problems, and the attempt on his life nearly loosed an otherworldly threat on the world. But when his head becomes filled with the distracting emotions of a smart, brave, and anxious omega wolf, he learns the depth of the omega's loss—the young man lost his magic saving Malcolm's life. Grateful for the omega's heroism, he does the only honorable thing. He proposes marriage. It's the obvious solution: they're both gay, the omega can bear him an heir, and as king, Malcolm can repay Stephen by making sure he wants for nothing. There's only one problem. Stephen has no desire to compound his misery with a marriage of convenience to someone who doesn't love him. Yet Malcolm can't go on living with their bond, feeling all the devastated mage's feelings as if they're his own. When the high priestess tells him she knows of a way to break their bond, Malcolm is all for it. But when he learns it involves taking the omega to his bed, Malcolm knows his problems have only just begun… Reader note: contains M/M Mpreg romance, pregnant omega mates, wolf shifters, alpha wolf kings, and male male love

Download or read book Ritual Sacrifice in Ancient Peru written by Elizabeth P. Benson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Propitiating the supernatural forces that could grant bountiful crops or wipe out whole villages through natural disasters was a sacred duty in ancient Peruvian societies, as in many premodern cultures. Ritual sacrifices were considered necessary for this propitiation and for maintaining a proper reciprocal relationship between humans and the supernatural world. The essays in this book examine the archaeological evidence for ancient Peruvian sacrificial offerings of human beings, animals, and objects, as well as the cultural contexts in which the offerings occurred, from around 2500 B.C. until Inca times just before the Spanish Conquest. Major contributions come from the recent archaeological fieldwork of Steve Bourget, Anita Cook, and Alana Cordy-Collins, as well as from John Verano's laboratory work on skeletal material from recent excavations. Mary Frame, who is a weaver as well as a scholar, offers rich new interpretations of Paracas burial garments, and Donald Proulx presents a fresh view of the nature of Nasca warfare. Elizabeth Benson's essay provides a summary of sacrificial practices.

Book excerpt: An Uneasy Marriage, An Unholy Alliance. The tales tell of three sisters, daughters of the high king. The eldest, a valiant warrior-woman, conquered her inner demons to become the high queen. The youngest, and most beautiful outlived her Prince Charming and found a strength beyond surface loveliness. And the other one, Andi? The introverted, awkward middle princess is now the Sorceress Queen, Andromeda—and she stands at the precipice of a devastating war. As the undead powers of Deyrr gather their forces, their High Priestess focuses on Andi, undermining her at every turn. At the magical barrier that protects the Thirteen Kingdoms from annihilation, the massive Dasnarian navy assembles, ready to pounce the moment Andi’s strength fails. And, though her sisters and friends gather around her, Andi finds that her husband, Rayfe, plagued with fears over her pregnancy, has withdrawn, growing ever more distant. Fighting battles on too many fronts, Andi can’t afford to weaken, as she’s all that stands between all that’s good in the world and purest evil. For Andi, the time to grow into her true power has come. . .

Book excerpt: Journalist Steve Muehler gets more than he bargained for when he flies to North Dakota to research a little-known cult led by a reclusive figure who calls himself "Mule Hair." From the airport, he's taken to the tiny town of Wahpeton, and from there to an old opera house that is the hub of Mule Hair's compound. The fully stocked bar with red and white wines, marijuana, and psychedelic mushrooms is a signal of things to come. Then, High Priestess Abigail, a stunning woman wearing all black, leads him to Mule Hair, who is looking down at the world from his loft and wearing black leather gloves and a smoking jacket autographed by Hugh Hefner. Mueller has only just begun to take in the eccentricities of Mule Hair and his devoted group of followers. For the next seven weeks, he will participate in a series of dark rituals that includes drugs, autoerotic asphyxiation, the eating of placenta pot pies, forbidden sex, and much more. Join Mueller as he enters a secretive world. Here, the concern is not so much the journey that Mule Hair and his followers are on; it is how that journey will end.

Download or read book The Priestess the Pen written by Sonja Sadovsky and published by Llewellyn Worldwide. This book was released on 2014-12-08 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book by debut author Sonja Sadovsky shines new light on how three captivating minds shaped the course of history. The fantasy novels of Dion Fortune, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and Diana L. Paxson influenced the image of the priestess in Neopagan and Goddess-centered spirituality throughout the world. The Priestess & the Pen shows how their work changed the way women are depicted in literature, created space for women to reclaim their power, and energized the women's equality movement. Presenting a reinterpretation of the Goddess as fourfold rather than threefold, The Priestess & the Pen adds dimension and relevance to the traditional Triple Goddess archetype in a way that has never before been considered with such compelling clarity. This book is poised to become a vital interpretation of the Pagan priestess.

Download or read book Portrait of a Priestess written by Joan Breton Connelly and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sumptuously illustrated book, Joan Breton Connelly gives us the first comprehensive cultural history of priestesses in the ancient Greek world. Connelly presents the fullest and most vivid picture yet of how priestesses lived and worked, from the most famous and sacred of them--the Delphic Oracle and the priestess of Athena Polias--to basket bearers and handmaidens. Along the way, she challenges long-held beliefs to show that priestesses played far more significant public roles in ancient Greece than previously acknowledged. Connelly builds this history through a pioneering examination of archaeological evidence in the broader context of literary sources, inscriptions, sculpture, and vase painting. Ranging from southern Italy to Asia Minor, and from the late Bronze Age to the fifth century A.D., she brings the priestesses to life--their social origins, how they progressed through many sacred roles on the path to priesthood, and even how they dressed. She sheds light on the rituals they performed, the political power they wielded, their systems of patronage and compensation, and how they were honored, including in death. Connelly shows that understanding the complexity of priestesses' lives requires us to look past the simple lines we draw today between public and private, sacred and secular. The remarkable picture that emerges reveals that women in religious office were not as secluded and marginalized as we have thought--that religious office was one arena in ancient Greece where women enjoyed privileges and authority comparable to that of men. Connelly concludes by examining women's roles in early Christianity, taking on the larger issue of the exclusion of women from the Christian priesthood. This paperback edition includes additional maps and a glossary for student use.
