As a folklorist, philologist, and cultural scholar, Joseph Otto Plassmann devoted his life to researching and elucidating the origins, history, and folkways of his people. During Germany's National Socialist era, he continued his work under the auspices of the Ahnenerbe, an organization devoted to uncovering the past of what at the time were called the Aryan peoples. While the terminology has changed, and some of the ideas have proven inaccurate or outdated, many others have withstood the test of time, vindicated by modern linguistic, archeological, and genetic research.Chronicling and interpreting the customs, festivals, and folktales of Germanic peoples throughout the yearly cycle, Ancestral Inheritance is as much an ode to the cultural heritage and wisdom of the author's forebears as it is an analysis of their cultural practices. Even more so, it is an exhortation to remember, to honor, and to carry the torch handed down by one's ancestors. While the details documented in this work are mostly specific to the Germanic peoples, many of the broader cultural currents are similar among all European peoples and their descendants around the world.Antelope Hill is proud to present Ancestral Inheritance: The Yearly Cycle of Germanic Customs and Festivals by Joseph Otto Plassmann, translated and annotated by C.J. Miller. This fascinating window into the history of Germanic culture is vital to understanding this proud people.

'Numbers' form a significant aspect of our life. Nobody can imagine a day of life without them. And so they affect the ways that we are, act, feel and relate to others. Each of us has our own special mixture of numbers, everyone of which represents our potential qualities.

The body - particularly the body of woman - remains firmly in the grip of the Patriarchy. Controlled, blamed, and ensnared in the narrative of The Fall, the fleshy encounter is deemed unholy and entirely separate from divinity.Making Love with the Divine starts the process of unravelling and undoing this insidious and false programming, showcasing and story-telling the sacred, erotic, and ecstatic experiences of today's 'ordinary' women, narrating and reflecting upon their accounts of day-to-day communion and union with the Divine. Inspired by their sharing, practises are offered in each section of the book for the reader to begin to forge their own unique and direct pathway of lovemaking with the Divine.This book sanctifies the human mammal - our animal journey of 'in and through' and is an antidote to the poisonous lie that the Divine is 'out and up' and accessible only through religious or spiritual instruction. Making Love with the Divine bridges the schism of sacred and mundane and reinstates the extra-ordinary nature of everyday living and existence.

The veneration of a divine or quasi-divine feminine figure is a virtually omnipresent phenomenon in the various spiritual traditions of humankind, deriving from the complex archetype of a mystical woman: a Magna Mater. She is vested with both power and compassion; she serves as the complement, refuge, and telos of masculinity, and the speculum, idealization, or apotheosis of femininity. This archetype is so primal as to transcend all the more particularized mythological systems and finds a multitude of different expressions within each of them.Collected here are several stories of her manifested miracles in the Catholic tradition originally written by Pope Celestine V, the late 13th century monk who founded the Celestine branch of the Benedictine order. His stories speak to the compassionate nature of the Celestial mother Mary, as well as her powers of intercession and to defend against evil. The collection continues with tales by Ippolito Marracci of the 'Noble Daughters of Mary', those queens, princesses, and saints who devoted themselves to the Blessed Mother. Interspersed throughout are quotes that show how widespread the adoration of this figure is, by whatever name She is known.

Randy Chung Gonzales was leading an ordinary life in his hometown of Lamas, Peru, when his employer, anthropologist Frédérique Apffel-Marglin, asked him to accompany her to an ayahuasca ceremony led by a local shaman. There, to everyone's great surprise, Randy was initiated by discarnate entities, who instructed him and gave him healing powers. In this unique book, Randy tells his story to Frédérique, who offers cultural context and describes how she herself has been transformed from an academic anthropologist into an advocate for the sharing of indigenous wisdom and ecospirituality. Drawing on history, cultural studies and anthropology, Frédérique offers a penetrating analysis of Western science-based modernity, which has made the systematic eradication of shamanism a priority. Initiated by the Spirits argues powerfully that shamanic sacred plants can heal the epidemics of mental illness in Western societies, as well as the global ecological crisis. Randy's shamanic initiation serves as a beacon for new ways of conceiving of the human relationship to science, spirit and our planetary home.
