Download or read book Snakes People and Spirits Volume One written by Robert Hazel and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume publication offers an in-depth analysis of ophidian symbolism in Eastern Africa, while setting the topic within its regional and historical context: namely, with regards to the rest of Africa, ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, the Greek world, ancient Palestine, Arabia, India, and medieval and pre-Christian Europe. Through the ages, most of those areas have connected with Eastern Africa in a broad sense, where ophidian symbolism was as “rampant” and far-reaching, if not more so, as anywhere else on the continent, and perhaps in past civilisations. Much as in the wider context, snakes were held to be long-lived, closely related to holes, caverns, trees, and water, life and death, and credited with a liking for milk. Even though ophidian symbolism has always been developed out of the outstanding biological and ethological features of snakes, the process of symbolisation, which plays a crucial role in the elaboration of cultural systems and the shaping of human experience, was inevitably at work. This first volume deals with snakes as a zoological category; snake symbolism as perceived by encyclopaedists and psychologists; and ophidian symbolism as it occurred in ancient civilisations. It explores the traditional African scene in general with a view to set the scene for a more proximate baseline for comparison. The divide between animals and humans was porous, and snakes had a more or less equal footing in both the animal realm and the spiritual world. Key features of snake symbolism in traditional Eastern Africa are then examined in detail, especially phantasmagorical snakes, the rainbow serpent, snake-totems, and snake-related witches and ritual leaders, among others. In Eastern Africa, the meanings attributed to snakes were multifaceted and paradoxical. Overall, the two volumes of this publication show that African snake symbolism broadly echoed the diverse representations of ancient civilisations. The widely acknowledged assimilation of snakes to death and Evil is therefore unrepresentative, both historically and culturally.

Download or read book Sirius Workings Vol 1 written by Esoteric Order of Beelzebub and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Esoteric Order of Beelzebub is an Order of the Temple of Set approaching the work of initiation from the perspective of an esoteric school. The Sirius Workings Volume 1 documents the first three annual simultaneous workings conducted by the Order in conjunction with the Dog Days of Sirius. The aim of the EOB is toward the question of self-consciousness, in congruence with the Aeonic Word Xeper. To 'Come into Being' may be taken as 'to become conscious.' From the point of view of the EOB consciousness results only from an effort by the totality of one's being, to include not only one's thoughts, but as well one's feelings, sensations, and presence. Internal self-integration is a precondition for consciousness.
