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.

Download or read book Signifying Serpents and Mardi Gras Runners written by R. Celeste Ray and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These case studies explore how competing interests among the keepers of a community's heritage shape how that community both regards itself and reveals itself to others. As editors Celeste Ray and Luke Eric Lassiter note in their introduction, such stakeholders are no longer just of the community itself, but are now often "outsiders"--tourists, the mass media, and even anthropologists and folklorists. The setting of each study is a different marginalized community in the South. Arranged around three themes that have often surfaced in debates about public folklore and anthropology over the last two decades, the studies consider issues of representation, identity, and practice. One study of representation discusses how Appalachian Pentecostal serpent handlers try to reconcile their exotic popular image with their personal religious beliefs. A case study on identity tells why a segment of the Cajun population has appropriated the term "coonass," once widely considered derogatory. Essays on practice look at an Appalachian Virginia coal town and Snee Farm, a National Heritage Site in lowland South Carolina. Both pieces reveal how dynamic and contradictory views of community life can be silenced in favor of producing a more easily consumable vision of a "past." Signifying Serpents and Mardi Gras Runners offers challenging new insights into some of the roles that the media, tourism, and charismatic community members can play when a community compromises its heritage or even denies it.

Download or read book Calvin Eliana written by Amy Wertz and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-04-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 The 30 Trials of Ix and the Angels written by Mark Durant and published by . This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 30 Trials of Ix and the Angels follows Ix Pantheos from his awakening in a ruined castle through his travels to the moon, the sun, and beyond, carried along by the songs of thirty angels as they initiate him into the mysteries of consciousness and the nature of existence. The answer seemingly found and the journey apparently nearing its end, Ix then finds that he must suffer the destruction of his former self, and face a new struggle to hold onto all that was revealed to him. Born of a series of meditations performed by the author, and utilizing an eclectic mix of various world religious and occult philosophies, the story is a surreal journey into the depths of the mind, echoing Ix's own quest to redeem both himself and mankind. While it stands alone as an engaging read for those unacquainted with the various schools of inquiry that comprise the fertile field within which it took root, it retains that symbolism which may prove insightful to like-minded readers who find themselves treading its obscure paths.
