Book excerpt: In the previous book, The Celtic Serpent, after a diagnosis of cancer and the death of her grandmother, Angi Talismann found herself on an incredible journey. Shackled to an unstable piece of ancient technology in the form of a medallion, she and her colleagues were forced to locate lost medallion gemstones which had been scattered to different countries in the seventeenth century. Close on their heels was a resolute killer bent on acquiring the medallion. Tracking down the descendants of old Irish and Scottish families assigned to protect this ancient treasure proved a daunting task. Eventually, locating the gemstones, the initial stage of their venture ended with twelve individuals stepping through a golden, serpent gate on the Hill of Tara in Ireland propelling them into another world. While stating they would return in three months, its assurance was uncertain. The journey continues in this book. Angi and her companions quickly adapt to their new environment on Tir na nOg, the land of the Tuatha de Danann, deemed to be the ancient gods of the Irish. Here they learn that their escort, Sirona, is a distinguished member of the kingdom and her ancestor, Myttrwn, is a gifted scientist and magician, supposedly centuries old in Earth terms. Under Myttrwn’s guidance the twelve discover a different perspective of the universe, learn the healing and destructive powers of light and sound, and gain some insight into their future role while Angi takes her first steps in mastering the complexities of her medallion. Yet, with all the goodwill, a powerful individual, Zolar, is displeased with their presence in Tir na nOg and Angi’s possession of such advanced technology. He sets out to rectify this matter in his own treacherous way. The journey to Tir na nOg for the twelve travellers would create an indelible imprint on their lives.

Book excerpt: In the heart of the cerulean abyss, where sunlight fades to inky darkness, the siblings-Calvin and Eliana-swim side by side. Their iridescent scales shimmer with curiosity as they approach the Abyssal Gate, a relic whispered about in hushed tones among merfolk. Calvin, the older brother, bears the weight of their lineage-a lineage that has guarded the gate for centuries. Eliana, the cautious little sister, is a dreamer. Her eyes hold the secrets of forgotten songs, and her voice echoes with the lullabies of ancient tides. The gate itself is a colossal arch of coral, adorned with luminescent glyphs. Its surface ripples like liquid glass, hinting at realms beyond imagination. Nereus, the reclusive merman, stands sentinel, his silver beard trailing in the currents. His eyes, as deep as the abyss, hold both wisdom and sorrow. One fateful night, the gate trembles. Eldritch energies seep through its cracks, distorting reality. The sea around it churns, and whispers echo-a language forgotten by time. Nereus grows frantic, his once-steadfast resolve crumbling. The breach threatens not only their world but all existence. Calvin and Eliana face a choice: remain passive guardians or venture into the forbidden dimensions beyond. Their bond is unbreakable, yet their paths diverge. Eliana yearns to explore, to unravel the gate's mysteries. Calvin, burdened by duty, fears the consequences. Eliana dives first, her tail propelling her through the gate's shimmering veil. She emerges in a realm of fractured mirrors-a place where memories dance like phosphorescent fish. Here, she encounters Eidra, a mermaid with fractured reflections. Eidra reveals that the gate mirrors not only worlds but souls. Meanwhile, Calvin remains behind, torn between loyalty and curiosity. He studies the glyphs, deciphering cryptic warnings. The gate's instability threatens to unravel reality itself. Desperate, he seeks counsel from Nereus, who reveals a forbidden truth: the gate was once a bridge between merfolk and the Serpent of Eternity. Calvin and Eliana reunite, their discoveries intertwining. The serpent, betrayed by its kin, seeks revenge upon both realms. It craves chaos, believing that only destruction can mend its broken heart. The siblings realize that sealing the breach requires an alliance-an unthinkable pact. Eliana, her voice resonating with forgotten melodies, confronts the serpent. She sings of unity, of shared memories, and the cosmic harmony they once safeguarded. The serpent hesitates, scales shimmering with ancient pain. Calvin, beside her, speaks of duty and sacrifice. In a moonlit chamber, beneath the gate's arch, the siblings broker peace. The serpent agrees to mend the breach, but at a cost: it will relinquish its destructive urges, becoming a guardian once more. In return, merfolk must remember their shared past-the betrayal that severed their kinship. As the gate seals, realms merge. Nereus, tears in his eyes, watches the siblings swim together-one voice, one purpose. The forbidden alliance transcends ancient enmities. The abyss holds its breath, and cosmic harmony is restored. And so, the siblings become legends-their names etched in coral, their sacrifice echoing through tides. For in sealing the gate, they forged not only an alliance but a bridge between worlds, where love and duty entwine like seaweed in the currents. And the whispers of the abyss fade, replaced by a new song-one of hope.

Download or read book Dragons Serpents and Slayers in the Classical and Early Christian Worlds written by Daniel Ogden and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories about dragons, serpents, and their slayers make up a rich and varied tradition within ancient mythology and folklore. In this sourcebook, Daniel Ogden presents a comprehensive and easily accessible collection of dragon myths from Greek, Roman, and early Christian sources. Some of the dragons featured are well known: the Hydra, slain by Heracles; the Dragon of Colchis, the guardian of the golden fleece overcome by Jason and Medea; and the great sea-serpent from which Perseus rescues Andromeda. But the less well known dragons are often equally enthralling, like the Dragon of Thespiae, which Menestratus slays by feeding himself to it in armor covered in fish-hooks, or the lamias of Libya, who entice young men into their striking-range by wiggling their tails, shaped like beautiful women, at them. The texts are arranged in such a way as to allow readers to witness the continuity of and evolution in dragon stories between the Classical and Christian worlds, and to understand the genesis of saintly dragon-slaying stories of the sort now characteristically associated with St George, whose earliest dragon-fight concludes the volume. All texts, a considerable number of which have not previously been available in English, are offered in new translations and accompanied by lucid commentaries that place the source-passages into their mythical, folkloric, literary, and cultural contexts. A sampling of the ancient iconography of dragons and an appendix on dragon slaying myths from the ancient Near East and India, particularly those with a bearing upon the Greco-Roman material, are also included. This volume promises to be the most authoritative sourcebook on this perennially fascinating and influential body of ancient myth.

Download or read book Pop Song written by Larissa Pham and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A warm and expansive portrait of a woman’s mind that feels at once singular and universal," this collection of essays interweaves commentary on modern life, feminism, art, and sex with the author's own experiences of obsession, heartbreak, and vulnerability (BuzzFeed). Like a song that feels written just for you, Larissa Pham's debut work of nonfiction captures the imagination and refuses to let go. Pop Song is a book about love and about falling in love—with a place, or a painting, or a person—and the joy and terror inherent in the experience of that love. Plumbing the well of culture for clues and patterns about love and loss—from Agnes Martin's abstract paintings to James Turrell's transcendent light works, and Anne Carson's Eros the Bittersweet to Frank Ocean's Blonde—Pham writes of her youthful attempts to find meaning in travel, sex, drugs, and art, before sensing that she might need to turn her gaze upon herself. Pop Song is also a book about distances, near and far. As she travels from Taos, New Mexico, to Shanghai, China and beyond, Pham meditates on the miles we are willing to cover to get away from ourselves, or those who hurt us, and the impossible gaps that can exist between two people sharing a bed. Pop Song is a book about all the routes by which we might escape our own needs before finally finding a way home. There is heartache in these pages, but Pham's electric ways of seeing create a perfectly fractured portrait of modern intimacy that is triumphant in both its vulnerability and restlessness.
