Mythology

Dive into the magical realm of "Grimms' Fairy Tales," a classic collection by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, brought to life through the translations of Edgar Taylor and Marian Edwardes. This anthology is a rich mosaic of folklore and myth, inviting readers into a world where magic, moral lessons, and timeless human truths converge.

In his inimitable style, gifted folklorist Kevin Danaher invites the reader to call on people of a former generation in their homes, to sit around the hearth, to listen to their tales and gossip and sample their food and drink, to marvel at their implements, to meet a water diviner, to join a faction fight, hurry to a wedding and bow down in remembrance of the dead. For over thirty years, this book has charmed, informed and surprised successive generations of readers, in Ireland and abroad.

"The Law and the Word" is a metaphysical and philosophical work written by Thomas Troward, a British author, judge, and early New Thought pioneer. Originally published in 1917, the book explores themes related to the power of thought, the nature of reality, and the role of consciousness in shaping human experience. In "The Law and the Word," Troward delves into the concept of the creative power of thought and its impact on individual circumstances. He discusses the idea that thoughts and words have creative force and can influence the events and conditions in a person's life. Troward suggests that understanding and consciously applying universal laws can lead to positive changes in one's reality. The book also delves into the nature of the "Word" as a creative force. Troward draws on spiritual and philosophical concepts to explain how words, when infused with the right intention and understanding, can manifest desired outcomes. The author explores the relationship between spiritual principles and the practical aspects of daily life. Troward's writing in "The Law and the Word" reflects his interest in blending spiritual and metaphysical principles with practical insights. The book has been influential in the development of New Thought and the broader field of metaphysics. It encourages readers to consider the power of their thoughts, beliefs, and words in shaping their experiences and suggests that a deeper understanding of universal laws can lead to personal transformation and fulfillment.

The Myths of Hyawan Man at the centre of creations Myths play a vital role to study what our ancestors did in the ancient past and find answers for some of our existential questions in mind. Few understand the nature of myths as it is a way of interpreting higher truths found in the abstract state (world) and relating in common terms.Humanity has passed through layers and layers of great events that eventually shaped the way we, the contemporaries, think and act today. The Myths of Hyawan takes you back in time and puts you near the stage where an important act took place 7000 years ago between Man and creatures of other kind.Kahzn, a newly arrived human with a gift of Life from the heavens, obliviously found himself in the middle of a deadly power play amongst the Avians, the Beasts and the Animals kind. Although he emerged out victorious at first, it didn't guarantee him or his kind to hold their highest positions among all creatures for so long.Later on, his own partner, the woman, made one bold move that cost not only Kahzn but the generations of all kinds that followed as well. This book is the complete version of its predecessor, the Myths of Kahzn. The narration and the dialogues immerse readers within the actions and the plots of the story and surf along with the emotional tides of the characters. Most importantly, as we read through the pages of the book, we find some fascinating truth about ourselves, as human beings, and some shocking clues about 'the behind the scenes' of the world drama.

A wheel of ravens revelled loudlyOver a bitter battle of bold fightersWho lost their lives and lay in mud,A feast of flesh for the frenzied birds...From Adam Bolivar, balladeer extraordinaire and author of The Ettinfell of Beacon Hill, comes a landmark volume of poetry that harkens back to the adventurous myths of the Anglo-Saxons and the Dark Ages...Alliterative verse was the traditional poetic form used in Old English poems such as Beowulf and The Wanderer, as well as in Old Norse sagas and the Poetic Edda of the Icelanders. Outlawed by the Normans as a symbol of nativist rebellion after their conquest of England in the year 1066, this ancient form is now all but forgotten. A Wheel of Ravens is the first ever collection of original verse written in the Old English alliterative style. Braiding together threads of early English paganism, folkloric elements-including a speculative pre-history of the storytelling tradition of Jack Tales-and the dream-cycle of H. P. Lovecraft, Adam Bolivar offers an intricate poetic tapestry bursting with myth and story, as unique as it is remarkable.This groundbreaking work will surely be of great interest to fans of Seamus Heaney's Beowulf: A New Verse Translation. With a foreword by Dennis Wilson Wise (a noted authority on Tolkien and epic fantasy), an introduction by the author, and a useful glossary. Richly illustrated with images of Anglo-Saxon artifacts, artwork and more.

A forbidden obsessionUnyielding family allegianceThree deadly challengesWhen a trip into the forest to collect a rare mushroom for her research goes horribly wrong, biologist Callie Peterson finds herself falling through a fairy portal and straight into the arms of the Unseelie Fae prince. The dangerously unhinged and viciously handsome Unseelie Fae prince. He thinks she's an assassin sent by the humans to kill him, not a scientist, and he imprisons her in his realm-where unwillingly, unwittingly, his obsession with her begins to grow. Prince Mendax has never felt anything but loathing until his eyes met hers: this vile human assassin's. He believes she's here to kill him, and yet her beauty is a parasite that has mercilessly latched onto his mind and won't let go. He itches to feel her smooth skin, even though the Unseelie royals would rather burn than touch a human. It's a dangerous desire. If he does not destroy the girl soon, she may be the only thing capable of destroying him. Mendax needs to be rid of her-but he also needs to entertain his people. And so, he challenges Callie to three deadly trials. If she survives, she gains her freedom. If she doesn't? His wrath is only just beginning.
