From the Colorado Rockies to the Sierra Nevada, from the Oregon forests to the Arizona desert, stories of those who sought their fortunes in the old mining camps continue to haunt the American West. And while many once-booming cities have been lost to memory, the legends to which they gave rise remain an enduring part of folklore.

Knightchilde has encountered the fascinating, the heart-wrenching, and the inexplicable.Accompanied by dozens of photographs, Tales from the Haunted West presents a collection of stories from the somber to the supernatural, of history both real and imagined, of ghost towns, and of ghosts that may yet linger.

Mais, mon cher Busseuil, lisez-le donc cet extrait, je vous en prie. - Mais, mon cher Mirval, je l'ai lu, il est fort injuste, et cela n'a rien de curieux. J'en lis tous les jours de semblables; voilà le genre. - Comment ! un journaliste qui feint de trouver de mauvais principes dans l'ouvrage le plus moral ! qui ose se permettre vaguement cette grave accusation, sans rien citer ! qui n'emploie constamment que le ton de l'ironie, ton qui, dans ce cas, décèle si bien la haine ! enfin, un extrait qui donne l'idée la plus fausse de l'ouvrage, et qui d'ailleurs est rempli de réticences perfides et de traits calomnieux!... - L'ouvrage critiqué vous intéresse, il est d'un homme que vous aimez ; je conçois votre colère, mais je ne comprends pas votre étonnement...

Tan largo me lo fiáis, popularizado como El burlador de Sevilla, es la versión original del mito de Don Juan. Su autor, Andrés de Claramonte, escribió otra comedia dramática ambientada en la misma época (mediados del siglo XIV) publicada indistintamente a nombre de Lope de Vega y de Calderón, que editamos también en este volumen como complemento.El tema de un gran señor que seduce y engaña a varias doncellas bajo promesa de matrimonio es típico del teatro de Claramonte. En ambos casos se juega con elementos metateatrales que refuerzan el sentido ejemplarizante de las obras. Trasladar la acción al siglo XIV permite distanciar un problema moral y político alejándolo de la actualidad de su tiempo.La importancia del mito de Don Juan, en estas dos obras emparentadas, permite comprender los orígenes del mito del seductor.

A History of Esotericism - From the Paleolithic to the Axial Age introduces the history of esotericism, the theoretical study and attainment of mystical, occult, "inner" reality. It begins with an introduction to esotericism and gnosis as a fourth way of knowing alongside reason, spirituality, and science. Rather than situating esotericism and gnosis in a timeless, ahistorical world, it is embedded in history as a human phenomenon that contains a transcendent element within society in keeping with historical circumstances. The story of gnosis is, therefore, also the story of the awakening of consciousness, and hence this review begins at the very beginning, in deep time with the origin of consciousness. From there, it progresses to early humans. The development of spiritual and transpersonal consciousness and the understanding of inner reality is followed through ancient and modern shamanism, the Neolithic revolution, megalith builders, the Great Mother archetype, Proto-Indo-Europeans, Mesopotamian Gods and epics, and Egypt with its God-Kings and profound knowledge of the afterlife. The book then examines the great Axial Age revolution: The Persian development of morality-based spirituality and 'good vs. evil.' The Indian metaphysical revolution with themes such as reincarnation, karma, and spiritual enlightenment. The Chinese philosophy of the I Ching, Taoism, and the polarity of yin and yang. The Abrahamic discovery of monotheism. The culture, philosophy, cosmology, psychology, and proto-science of Bronze Age, Ancient, and Classical Greece. Additionally, A History of Esotericism discusses topics such as the relationship between faith, reason, and gnosis, the evolution of consciousness, the spirit world, the association between myth and archetype, the afterlife and the nature of Gods, Earth energies, the imaginal world, the Jungian unconscious, symbolism, and egregores. The associations between magical, mythical, and metaphysical thinking, the nature of the soul, and consciousness, are also considered. A comprehensive glossary is included.
