Download or read book Russian Magic written by Cherry Gilchrist and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the heart of Russia, old ways of perceiving the spirits of home and nature still prevail. Fairy stories, folk art, and calendar customs carry hints of the old gods and offer a now rare way of linking human life to the landscape. This is as true for city dwellers and villagers, for the Russian soul is open to the power of myth and the mysteries of the universe. This book explains how Russia's concept of soul ("dusha") and sensitivity to the landscape extends to archaeologists, scientists, and doctors in Russia, who retain an open-minded approach and a keen interest in psychic phenomena, along with folk traditions and faith healing. Author Cherry Gilchrist has traveled often to Russia and researched its traditional lore, gaining knowledge she interweaves into this book. She blends that first-hand knowledge with serious research to paint a lively picture of these remarkable magical traditions and their enduring power.

Download or read book Advancement in Ancient Civilizations written by Harald Haarmann and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional scholarship on how ancient civilizations emerged is outmoded and new insights call for revision. According to the well-established paradigm, Mesopotamia is considered the cradle of civilization. Following the cliche of ex oriente lux ("light from the East") all major achievements of humankind spread from the Middle East. Modern archaeology, cultural science and historical linguistics indicate civilizations did not originate from a single prototype. Several models produced divergent patterns of advanced culture, developing both hierarchical and egalitarian societies. This study outlines a panorama of ancient civilizations, including the still little-known Danube civilization, now identified as the oldest advanced culture in Europe. In a comparative view, a new paradigm of research and a new cultural chronology of civilizations in the Old and New Worlds emerges, with climate change shown to be a continual influence on human lifeways.

Download or read book Kairos written by Harald Haarmann and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2023 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kairos ist fest in unserer Psyche verankert. Forschungen zum Kernbegriff kairos haben eine verlässliche Einschätzung für eine wirkungsstarke Triebkraft im Bereich der Kulturgeschichte ermöglicht. Die wesentlichsten Eigenschaften von kairos sind das Erleben im Fluss der Zeit als soziales Konstrukt und der Umgang mit dem individuellen Energiefluss, worüber kairos zum Navigator für die individuelle Selbst-Identifikation wird.Diese Selbst-Identifikation ist Ausdruck der synergetischen Wechselbeziehung zwischen Körper, den Sinnen und unserem Bewusstsein, und im Streben des Selbst nach sozialer Interkonnektivität wird kairos zum Maß für Beziehungen in der Dimension des Miteinander. Die individuelle Erfahrung mit der Wirkung kultureller Traditionen und mit der Bindung an die natürliche Umwelt im Fluss der Zeit dient als Basis dafür, dem persönlichen Lebensbereich Sinn zu geben, ein Prozess, der von kairos gesteuert wird.Die Erschließung von kairos als Organisationsprinzip des Selbst im kommunalen Netzwerk einer Zivilisation aus früher Zeit - mit besonderer Berücksichtigung von Alteuropa (respektive der Donauzivilisation) - könnte verglichen werden mit der Entdeckung einer Pflanze, deren positive Wirkung für die allgemeine Ernährung sowie deren Heilkräfte unbekannt geblieben waren, bevor diese durch die moderne Forschung bestätigt worden sind.

Download or read book Merciless written by Richard Montanari and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2008-07-29 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a frigid December night, Karen sits at the edge of Philadelphia’s Schuylkill River, dressed in a flowing gown, like a visitor from the distant past. A beautiful and shining young woman, she gazes up at a bone-white winter moon like a fairy-tale princess frozen in time. At first glance, one might not even notice that she is dead, coated in a glistening patina of ice. Homicide cops Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano take the lead on the case, uncovering a plethora of eerie clues–each more warped and spine-chilling than the last. Yet the identity of Karen’s pitiless killer remains a mystery. Then the next victim is found upriver at an abandoned waterworks, posed with an unlikely object in her clasped hands. Struggling to link the victims and make sense of the madman’s agenda, Byrne and Balzano follow his twisted trail, which stretches into a past of dark crimes forgotten by all but a few. Now the past roars back into the present with a vengeance as the ingenious killer unleashes a torrent of rage upon the streets of Philadelphia. As Byrne and Balzano sift through suspects and clues, they unearth a shocking secret history: a legacy of malevolence and cold-blooded retribution dating back twenty years. And the farther they make their way up the body-strewn banks of the Schuylkill River, the closer they get to a villain from their worst nightmare, an evil as patient as it is merciless. Lightning fast and razor sharp, this jolting thriller from acclaimed author Richard Montanari coils back in time to deliver a fiendish mystery, a shattering revelation, and one hell of a wild ride. Lock your doors and turn up the lights. Montanari’s terrifying bedtime story will keep you up all night.
