Download or read book Tickled Tales for Giggles written by Selena Harris and published by Estalontech. This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tickled Tales for Giggles: Robin Hood's Cupcake Quest": In the whimsical world of "Tickled Tales for Giggles: Robin Hood's Cupcake Quest," classic myths meet a delicious dose of humor, offering an entertaining and lighthearted twist on the legendary tales of the merry outlaw, Robin Hood. The story takes place in a time that's neither the beginning nor the end but comfortably in the middle – the Middle Ages. But these aren't your typical knights, kings, or dragons; this world is full of playful oddities and a dash of "cupcake magic." The book kicks off with a playful showdown between Robin Hood and the notorious Prince John. While Prince John enjoys delicious cupcakes (and cupcakes are serious business), he's also busy plotting against Robin Hood, who's wearing a conspicuous sign that reads "Definitely NOT Robin Hood." However, Robin can't resist the allure of an archery competition, and that's where the fun truly begins. He enters the contest, not for glory but for the tempting prize of a solid silver arrow – and, of course, a chance to shoot arrows and indulge in more cupcakes. As the archery competition unfolds, we meet other colorful characters aims for the bullseye while indulging in frequent, humorous bouts of flatulence. The target keeps getting pushed farther away, leading to a climax that's both absurd and uproarious. In a surprising twist, Robin Hood, blindfolded and using an arrow that seems to have a mind of its own, manages to split the arrow right down the middle, winning the competition. But, of course, it's not just about the win – it's about fun and laughter. This victory attracts the attention of the enigmatic Prince John and his conniving Sheriff of Nottingham. With accusations flying and threats of arrests, a cheerful band of Merry Men, old and new, teams up to face the self-proclaimed king and his bumbling sheriff.

Download or read book The Egyptian Myths A Guide to the Ancient Gods and Legends Myths written by Garry J. Shaw and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative guide to the Egyptian myths that sheds new light on an ancient way of understanding the world This survey of Egyptian mythology explores how the ancient Nile-dwellers explained the world around them. It delves into the creation and evolution of the world and the reigns of the gods on earth, before introducing us to the manifestations of Egypt’s deities in the natural environment; the inventive ways in which the Egyptians dealt with the invisible forces all around them; and their beliefs about life after death. Through his engaging narrative, Garry Shaw guides us through the mythic adventures of such famous deities as Osiris, the god murdered by his jealous brother Seth; the magical and sometimes devious Isis, who plotted to gain the power of the sun god Re; and Horus, who defeated his uncle Seth to become king of Egypt. He also introduces us to lesser known myths, such as the rebellions against Re; Geb’s quest for Re’s magical wig; and the flaying of the unfortunate god Nemty. From stars and heavenly bodies sailing on boats, to the wind as manifestation of the god Shu, to gods, goddesses, ghosts, and demons—beings that could be aggressive, helpful, wise, or dangerous—Shaw goes on to explain how the Egyptians encountered the mythological in their everyday lives.

So the wild plants of Ireland are bound up in our culture and folklore from the earliest times. To arry a four-leaved shamrock brings luck in gambling, while putting nine ivy leaves under her pillow means a girl will dream of her future husband. Here plants are described in seasonal order, a perspective dating back to our ancestors.

Included are their roles in magical protection, in charms and spells (especially for love!), as emblems in children's games, and in Irish place names.
Download or read book One Coin Found written by Emmy Kegler and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories of Scripture are for everyone. No exceptions. Emmy Kegler has a complicated relationship with the Bible. As a queer woman who grew up in both conservative Evangelical and progressive Protestant churches, she knows too well how Scripture can be used to wound and exclude. And yet, the stories of Scripture continue to captivate and inspire her--both as a person of faith and as a pastor to a congregation. So she set out to fall in love with the Bible, wrestling with the stories inside, where she met a God who continues to seek us out--appearing again and again as a voice, a presence, and a promise. Whenever we are pushed to the edges, our voices silenced, or our stories dismissed, God goes out after us--seeking us until we are found again. And God is seeking out those whose voices we too quickly silence and dismiss, too. Because God's story is a story of welcome and acceptance for everyone--no exceptions. Kegler shows us that even when we feel like lost and dusty coins--rusted from others' indifference, misspent and misused--God picks up a broom and sweeps every corner of creation to find us.
