Paru en 1927, cet ouvrage s'articule autour de la notion d'Agarttha, un centre spirituel et métaphysique caché au c¿ur de la Terre qui renferme le pouvoir spirituel et intellectuel suprême. L'auteur y introduit également la notion de tradition primordiale, concept à la base de toute spiritualité authentique que l'on retrouve dans toutes les différentes traditions religieuses et ésotériques.L'ouvrage est suivi dans cette édition d'un article intitulé "L'esprit de l'Inde", publié par René Guénon en 1930 dans la revue Le Monde Nouveau.

No love is free of its shadows. The important thing is not to let the shadows scare you away from it. This collection of devotional and sometimes very personal poetry touches on a few of the many aspects of love, from the joy of divine love to the remembered pain of thwarted hopes.

"Brightly illuminating! Tumbled People offers a gracious invitation and a guide through the stages that we can expect to experience on the sacred journey of faith. Jacci not only describes the passages and how they change the way we view God, ourselves, and our life-world, but invites active participation in an authentic process towards spiritual maturation through ancient spiritual practices. A wonderful companion for those who are willing to undertake the journey of faithing throughout a lifetime." -The Rev. Canon Catherine Gregg, D.Min."I remember the first time I did a personality test and realized I wasn't weird but was a person with a unique but recognizable personality. It was revolutionary in my life because it helped me make sense of who and how I was in the world. I think Jacci's book will accomplish the same thing for those who are deconstructing their beliefs and questioning their faith. This book is like a spiritual map and just may help them realize that they aren't lost, but that they are on a very clear path of spiritual progressand growth." -David Hayward, aka the NakedPastor"In an age when everyone is deconstructing and reconstructing their faith experience, Tumbled People offers the tools needed to explore more deeply the stages of faith. And while many books on faith stages outline what that looks like, Jacci takes us deeper as she shares what those shifting stages of growth feel like in real life. This is pure invitation to the reader to explore and experience the journey in companionship with her." -Marsha Crockett, author of Sacred Conversation: Exploring the Seven Gifts of Spiritual DirectionAre you feeling spiritually adrift, burned out, and hopeless?

The Late Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period were the heyday for scarab seals with names in Ancient Egypt. During this time, names of kings and non-royal individuals occur on hundreds of scarabs and their impressions making scarabs one of the primary groups of written sources for the period. This book explores research paths opened by confronting the textual evidence provided by scarabs with the stylistic and typological traits observable on them in an effort to recontextualize these miniature decorative objects, most of which stem from mass-scale undocumented plundering in the late 19th and early 20th century.The book takes a new perspective on scarab production in Egypt showing that different types of scarabs were produced concurrently, and the production of scarabs was not limited to a single centre at a given period. It amends the methodology of studying Middle Bronze Age scarabs in Egypt to acknowledge that artisans purposefully reproduced certain scarab styles. The study contributes to the ongoing discussions on the chronology of the Second Intermediate Period, Egypt's interconnections with the Levant and the role of foreigners in Egypt in the Middle Kingdom.

Providing more than fifty exercises, rituals, spells, and recipes, this book teaches you how to honor and work magically with the dead.

Evira was an intuitive woman that lived in 1601. She was seen talking to heaven.

The Tao Te Ching is the greatest guiding treatise for living by divine, natural providence, born of an inherent spiritual wisdom lost by a human race that has buried that wisdom beneath the pretenses of knowledge, power, covetousness and control. Taoism predates all the major religions, and promulgates ideas and principles which those religions pretend to be their own. Indeed, those from later faiths shall here, if reading with open heart and mind, find the roots of their own faith. The Way of the Tao Te Ching is as the sacred seed buried in the soil, forever regenerating the existence trodden upon and taken for granted by a human race that now dishonors nature, believing that it has the right to dominate it.All the great religions followed in Lao Tzu's footsteps, tracing a path which The Old Philosopher himself speaks of coming from eons long past; a trail as ancient as humankind itself, which The Old Philosopher knew of himself to be but a traveler of. I have, here, set upon the path myself, being a long-running student of spirituality. As part of my practice I'm enriched by performing 'active reading exercises' in order to improve my understanding of my reading, in which I gather the insights and principles of the original text and word them as they make the most sense to me, and hopefully to other readers as well.I do this not, in this case, as a foolish attempt to 'one-up' the master metaphysician, but, again, to expand upon my own understanding, hopefully do a service to modern readers, and as a means to more actively consider and pay homage to his wisdom. I do this also to honor that fact that sacred wisdom is both ineffable and, at the same time, by the same nature, may be limitlessly expressed and reworded, like a glorious white light shining through an infinitely-faceted prism.

Mit dem vorgelegten Lesebuch "Irrfahrten" werden ausgewählte Geschichten des alten Mythos nicht einfach neu erzählt. Aus der homerischen "Fundgrube" und anderen Quellen werden wichtige Episoden aus dem Leben und Sterben herausragender Charaktere zu eigenen Geschichten verarbeitet. Im methodischem Wechsel von Originalzitaten und erläuternden Passagen soll die Lektüre einen neuen Blick auf die homerische Literatur öffnen. Denn oft bleiben bei diesem klassischen Bildungsgut manche dichterische Einfälle mit ihren amüsanten Pointen unentdeckt. In den "Irrfahrten" werden sie zielstrebig aufgestöbert und zu neuen Sinnzusammenhängen und bizarren Problemlagen unter dem Blickwinkel ihres tragikomischen Gehalts rekonstruiert. Sie versprechen lehrreiche und spannende Unterhaltung.

Private associations abounded in the ancient Greek world and beyond, and this volume provides the first large-scale study of the strategies of governance which they employed. Emphasis is placed on the values fostered by the regulations of associations, the complexities of the private-public divide (and that divide's impact on polis institutions) and the dynamics of regional and global networks and group identity. The attested links between rules and religious sanctions also illuminate the relationship between legal history and religion. Moreover, possible links between ancient associations and the early Christian churches will prove particularly valuable for scholars of the New Testament. The book concludes by using the regulations of associations to explore a novel and revealing aspect of the interaction between the Mediterranean world, India and China.

In einer Zeit, in der die Fruchtbarkeit der Erde durch Umweltverschmutzung und Klimawandel am Schwinden ist, tauchen aus der Versenkung in der Zeit, die alten Fruchtbarkeitsgötter wieder auf.Priapus steht in der Psychologischen Astrologie stellvertretend für diese und er möchte den Menschen wieder ihre wilden und ungestümen Triebe und Emotionen bewusst machen. Dieser alte griechische Fruchtbarkeitsgott will darauf hinweisen, dass wir wie die Natur selbst, unentwegt am schöpfen und zeugen sein dürfen.Priapus ist in der Astrologie ein berechneter Punkt (Perigäum) in der Mondumlaufbahn. Sein Gegenüber ist die Lilith (Apogäum). Er verkörpert unsere heißen und überwältigenden Gefühle, während Lilith sich eher kühler und distanzierter zeigt, da am Apogäum nicht gelebte Emotionen und Triebe eher verdrängt und aufbewahrt werden.Da Priapus sich bei bestimmten astrologischen Konstellationen tendenziell eher destruktiv und unerlöst zeigt, möchte dieses Buch dabei helfen, das Mondperigäum auf einer konstruktiveren und erlösteren Ebene zu leben, damit wir im permanenten und kreativen Schöpfen weiter unser ureigenstes Potential verwirklichen können.Jürgen Kraft ist Diplom-Psychologe, Dozent für Psychologie und Psychotherapie, sowie psychologischer Astrologe. Seit über 20 Jahren leitet er Ausbildungen in Psychologischer Astrologie für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene. In seine psychotherapeutische Arbeit in eigener Praxis fließen astrologische Erkenntnisse harmonisch mit ein und bereichern so die Therapie mit seinen Klienten.

Gott ist unergründbar und unerkennbar. Dieser Gedanke ist in der jüdisch-christlichen Tradition fest verankert. Andererseits sprechen biblische Texte vom Menschen oder Christus als Bild Gottes. Wie lässt sich beides zusammen denken? Die Beiträge bauen Brücken zwischen Ost und West, zwischen Geschichte und Gegenwart: antike und mittelalterliche Schriften werden ins Gespräch gebracht mit Positionen gegenwärtiger Theologie.

Rhonda McCrimmon brings the ancient, healing wisdom of Celtic shamanism to life so we can break free from the chains of past traumas, hurts, and heartaches and live a whole, connected, and more meaningful life. Celtic shamanism is a spiritual tradition whose origins predate the arrival of Christianity in northern Europe. According to this ancient tradition, the root of a person's physical, spiritual, and emotional health comes from the balancing the body's three energy centers called the "three cauldrons," the Cauldron of Warming, the Cauldron of Motion, and the Cauldron of Wisdom. The Celts believed a person must activate, nurture, and maintain all three cauldrons to live a whole, connected, meaningful life. Now, Rhonda McCrimmon--a beloved shamanic teacher-- takes readers on a spiritual journey from the lowest of the three energetic cauldrons to the highest, sharing practices to cultivate each cauldron's unique potential. The Cauldron of Warming, the wellspring of our innate knowledge, can be drained by past traumas, leaving us anxious and fearful. McCrimmon teaches you how to replenish this cauldron and restore your birthright of inner peace and security. The Cauldron of Motion is on its side at birth but fills as we experience deep grief or joy. It is the source of our capacity to love and nurture. Learn how to balance this cauldron, establish healthy boundaries, and protect yourself from emotional drain. The Cauldron of Wisdom is upside down at birth. When it is righted, we receive one of the most sublime gifts of Celtic spirituality--a profoundly felt connection with nature. In each chapter, McCrimmon provides self-reflections and other exercises designed to help readers: Activate and balance your inner cauldrons. Dispel fear by tapping into your innate wisdom. Work through past traumas, foster love, and nurture emotional resilience. Manifest creative potential through rituals and meditations. The book also explores the tradition of Celtic fire festivals and the sacred practice of saining. Regardless of your ancestral roots, Rhonda McCrimmon invites you to explore this ancient wisdom and begin your journey down the shaman's path. The book includes a foreword by HeatherAsh Amara, author of Warrior Goddess Training.

Den dristige amatørarkæolog Nicholas befinder sig, sammen med den kvindelige arkæolog Royan, i Etiopien, hvor de leder febrilsk efter farao Mamoses grav. Til at hjælpe sig har de udskriften fra den syvende skriftrulle, som slaven Taita udformede 4000 år før i forbindelse med begravelsen.Men slaven Taita var klog. For at undgå, at gravrøvere skulle opdage den hemmelighed, som han og hans elskede Dronning Lostris af Egypten havde, er skriftrullen fyldt med gåder og forhindringer. Nicholas og Royan får deres sag for, når de skal finde Mamoses grav med konkurrerende og skruppelløse arkæologer lige i hælene."Den syvende skriftrulle" udkom første gang i 1995.Wilbur Smith er født i Zimbabwe (det tidligere Rhodesia) i 1933.

Following on from the hugely popular Treasury of Folklore: Seas and Rivers and Woodlands and Forests comes Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies, an exploration of the mysteries of the stars, skies and heavens above.People have gazed up at the same stars for millennia, trading stories about them; conjuring gods and goddesses; mapping the constellations; and navigating the complex human world below. The tales, traditions and myths included here traverse countries and continents and have been chosen to highlight how humans are linked through time and place, with shared dreams, fears and ways of rationalising the unknown.Under 'Stars and Heavens' Willow delves into rosy fingered dawn and the hubris of Icarus, the Greek myths surrounding the constellations and the omen of meteors, the trials of the Hawaiian goddess Hina and the legend of the rabbit in the moon. In the section on 'Skies' we are introduced to winged Pegasus and the trials of the Firebird, the Witch of Westray and stories of storms, the mysteries of the Northern Lights and unexplained UFOs. Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies is a fascinating portal into a rich history of myths surrounding the sky, an aspect of the natural world that continues to fascinate and confound.
