    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.

    The very first occult Hero's Journey in history, discovered on ancient tablets in an underground cave in the Amazon jungle, Nevi'im Emet of the Enlightened Rastari brings to you the eyewitness account of the mythical early life of Krstjah Sa Ra Rastari, written by his chaperon and FRIEND, King Sattvastar of Bharata. Advented 25,000 years ago by the God of Wisdom, in order to free the God of Righteousness from the tomb of the Evil One, Krstjah Rastari was born as the Son of the Sun but just a man, yet he would eventually ascend to Sirius as the Supreme Avatar of Neter, the Almighty God. After young Krstjah's family was slain, and his homeland of Nubitopia was conquered by the Emperor of the world, Krstjah roamed Kismet for two decades with three Magi Kings. As he was hunted by imperial spies, and protected by gods above and within him, Krstjah would come of age to become a true HERU by confronting the shadows and dragons, and the witches and evil kings, he encountered on his saga. As he prepared himself to attain revenge and reclaim his kingdom, Krstjah would discover the magical secrets of the universe within himself and us all, and reveal a mystical path for all towards Herudom and Eternal Life, as he became the God of Synchronicity.

    "Seit der Zeit jagt Peter Muggel noch oft auf seinem dreibeinigen Schimmel in der Nacht durch das Dorf Gieselrade mit furchtbarem Gerassel und Getöse. Er reitet dann zu einem großen Teiche in der Nähe des Dorfes und schwemmt da sein Pferd und kehrt ebenso wieder nach seinem Schlupfwinkel zurück. Jedermann muss sich hüten, ihm zu begegnen." Mündlich überlieferte Erzählungen über Räuber und Prinzessinnen, Seefahrtabenteuer und Schlachten zwischen Grafen und Herzogen -all diese hoch- und plattdeutschen Sagen und Märchen spiegeln die Mentalität der Bevölkerung Schleswig-Holsteins des 19. Jahrhunderts wieder. Durch ihre Regionalität vermitteln sie Jung und Alt einen Bezug zu ihrer Heimat. Diese Ausgabe ist liebevoll illustriert. Der deutsche Autor und Wissenschaftler Karl Müllenhoff (1818-1884) schrieb die Schleswig-Holsteinischen Sagen und Märchen 1845 in einem gesammelten Werk nieder. Besonders machen sie auch die plattdeutschen Passagen. Da die Originalsammlung seit Jahrzenten verschwunden war, machte es sich der deutsche Sprachforscher Otto Mensing (1868-1939) zur Aufgabe, die klassischen Erzählungen erneut zusammen zu stellen.

    Xanghôr, Kzâhr de la vaste île de Kûrhasm, était un monarque poète et au tempérament plutôt fantasque. Ainsi il ne se sentait guère vraiment concerné par la responsabilité de sa haute charge.Il fit un rêve dans lequel il vit une merveilleuse déesse. Le coeur indélébilement imprégné par celui-ci, il décida de partir en quête de cette femme exceptionnelle en mesure de régner à son côté.Kûrhasm était comme un monde à part, vu qu'une vague de vingt-cinq mètres l'enceignait. Celle-ci convainquait les habitants que rien n'existait au-delà. Ainsi trouver une femme qui ne fut pas de ce monde ressemblait à une gageure insensée.Pourtant, Xanghôr poursuivit obstinément cet idéal, persuadé au fond de lui qu'un événement extraordinaire se produirait et que son rêve alors se concrétiserait. Étrange destin que celui de ce Kzâhr hors du commun.

    La protagonisto Keave, maristo el Havajo, akiras por kvindek dolaroj misteran botelon, kiu plenumas al la posedanto chiun deziron. Sed oni konsilas al li disigi sin de ghi sufiche rapide, char tiu, kiu ankorau posedas ghin post sia morto, neeviteble alvenos en la inferon. Krome la botelo estas nedetruebla, oni povas liberigi sin de ghi nur per vendo, kaj nur per kontanta mono, kaj oni devas vendi ghin pli malkare ol oni achetis la botelon, char alikaze ghi revenos al la posedinto. Krome la achetinto devas ekscii chiujn chi kondichojn antau la acheto. Kiam Keave deziris sian belan domon kaj baldau ricevis ghin, li vendas la botelon al sia amiko Lopaka. Nelonge poste li renkontas la belan knabinon Kokua, kiu reciprokas lian amon. Kaj tial lia felicho estas perfekta, sed nur dum mallonga tempo. Keave malkovras, ke li malsanighis je lepro. Lepruloj en la socio estas evitataj kaj forpushitaj, plej ofte ili vegetadas mizere en flanka loko de la insulo Molokai. La ununura espero eviti sian sorton por Keave estas acheti ankoraufoje la botelon. Li serchas ghin, char intertempe la botelo iris tra multaj manoj. Kiam li fine trovis ghin, ghi kostas nur unu cendon. Pro sia amo li tamen achetas la botelon, sed poste li sinkas en desperon, char li ne plu povas vendi ghin pli malkare. Post kelke da tempo la edzino Kokua ekscias la sekreton kaj proponas al li veturi per shipoj al la francaj insuloj en la suda parto de la Pacifika Oceano, kie ankorau estas uzataj centimoj, per kiuj eblus ankorau pli malkaraj vendoj. Fine Kokua trovas iun, kiu pretas acheti ghin de Keave, sed nur por ke Kokua reakiru ghin poste mem. Tiel okazas. Kiam Keave ekscias tion, li ne hezitas fari por la savado de Kokua la samon, kvankam la prezo de la botelo post la reacheto kostus nur unu cendon. Sed la lasta achetinto de la botelo, kruda drinkavida maato, ne pretas revendi ghin al li. Vane avertas lin Keave, pro la minacanta kondamno. La maato, kiu certe supozas ja chiukaze alveni en la inferon, shancelighante foriras kun la botelo tra aleo. Sed Keave kaj Kokua post tio vivas feliche kaj sen zorgoj en la Pura Domo de Keave.

Dadurch angeregt, entwickelte Schmitz ein Verfahren autonomen Schreibens, das die bewusste Verstandeskontrolle des Ego ausschließt. Die so entstandenen "Märchen aus dem Unbewussten" drücken die damalige Lebenssitualtion des Schreibers aus und ziehen das Fazit seines Lebens. Gleichwohl bekommen sie übergreifende und universelle Bedeutung als Produkte der schöpferischen Tätigkeit der Psyche, indem sie Zeugnis eines suchenden Geistes wird, der die Lebensdramatik des heutigen Menschen in ergreifenden Bildern formt.

Mythology
Mythology is the foundation of many of today's stories, take for example the stories of King Arthur and Merlin, a well-known story that goes back to the celtic mythologies. It has fascinated many writers all around the world and with good reason. Myths take you on fascinating and sometimes even magical journeys and into the ancient worlds of the past. The mythologies build on folklore and you can learn a lot about the ancient lifestyles by reading mythology books. The themes in mythologies are often built around honor and bravery, but the tales also have their own universal moral message. 

Norse mythology books
In the Nordic countries we have a long and proud history of folk tales and some of them can be traced all the way back to the Middle Ages and even before that, to what we describe as the Norse period, where all the Scandinavian countries were connected as one and not divided into nations. The North was instead formed by many smaller societies, who lived comparatively insulated and connected to nature. Such a life could be hard and created fertile soil for folklore and the belief in supernatural creatures, which are found in many folk tales. Most of the tales were part of an oral tradition and were often handed down through many generations. The mythology tales were first written down and converted into mythology books many years after they were told for the first time. 
We cannot mention the Norse period without the Vikings. Vikings are known all over the world for their strength, ships and sometimes brutal conquests, but the Vikings were defined by so much more than that. They had for example a vivid and intriguing tradition for mythology. To the Vikings they were so much more than myths, it was their religion. The Norse religion referred to as Asatru consists of multiple gods, goddresses, brave heroes and volvas, which were strong female sorcerers and fortune tellers. If you want to find your way to get started in Nordic mythology you can find a good description and overview in Penguin Book of Norse myths - Gods of the Vikings

Greek mythology books
Some of the greatest and most famous myths are found in Ancient Greece. You might have heard about the gods Zeus and Prometheus, the goddesses Athena and Aphrodite, and the heroes Hercules and Achilles? They are just a few of the unique figures of Ancient Greek mythology. They are found in some of the greatest classics of world literature; the Iliad and the Odyssey written by Homer. At Tales you can get them as mythology books in their traditional verse form, but we would also recommend you to take a look at Stephen Fry’s interpretations of the classical tales. Fry takes the timeless classics into modern times by rewriting the mythologies in a modern, easy understandable english, but he still keeps the essence of the Ancient mythologies. You can find Stephen Fry’s Heroes and Mythos in our selection of mythological books. 

Egyptian mythology books
Another world of mythologies is found in Ancient Egypt. Here we come across Ancient gods and goddesses with faces formed as animals. One of the central gods in Egyptian mythology is the sun god Ra. Ra was the incarnation of the sun, which was the foundation of life. In Egyptian mythology we also find mummies. Mummies were the deceased faraos, who were embalmed and covered in gaze to restore them for the afterlife. The god Osiris would then help them on their way through the afterlife. The mummies were placed in their own pyramid, who would show the greatness of the faraos for the times to come. The pyramids still stand in Egypt and show the history of the past. Among our egyptian mythology books you find the book Egyptian Mythology, which has collected all the fascinating tales of Ancient Egypt and all its gods, goddesses and legendary creatures. 

Japanese mythology books 
You can also find japanese mythology books in Tales’ selection. The japanese myths are little known to people, but contain many amazing stories. You can for example find the story behind the samurais, an Ancient collection of warriors in the japanese armies. A samurai had to live up to certain virtues in order to keep his status. A samurai should both be loyal and have a high level of endurance, modesty, and honor. You could learn a lot about a country from its mythology, because it is the foundation of the country’s culture, although a lot of changes have found place since then. If you aren’t familiar with japanese mythology, we recommend you to read the Handbook of Japanese Mythology among our collection of japanese mythology books.
