Mythology

Den Sagenschatz von Bad Suderode habe ich in der ersten Auflage vor genau 10 Jahren herausgegeben. Es ist eine Liebeserklärung an meine Großmutter Ida Brunner (die mir viele Geschichten erzählte) und ebenso an meinen Heimatort. Da ich noch immer Sagen, Märchen und Anekdoten hinzugewinne, meine antiquare Buchsammlung stetig wächst und ich viele Stunden und Tage im Gespräch mit Einheimischen war, hat sich die Sammlung hiesiger Geschichten seit 2013 fast verdoppelt, weshalb mir diese Neuauflage ein Herzensanliegen war. Bad Suderode, einer der ältesten Kurorte unseres Landes, fasziniert und heilt seine Besucher seit fast 200 Jahren, einmal durch die frische Harzer Bergluft, dann durch sein Gutes Wasser, mehr noch durch den wunderschönen Mischwald und nicht zuletzt durch die vielen sagenumwobenen Orte mit ihren altüberlieferten Geschichten. Frage dich selbst: kennst du die Erzählungen von der Lessinghöhle, dem Opferstein, unserer Wunscheiche, der Elfenwiese oder die Sagen der angrenzenden Orte und ihrer Sehenswürdigkeiten, wie Stiftskirche, Lauenburg und Teufelsmauer? Lass dich entführen, in längst vergangene Zeiten, berühren von spannenden Eindrücken und Ritualen, von humorvollen Redewendungen und Harzer Traditionen - von Herzen viel Freude mit diesem Schatz!

Jacey MacRae est condamnée.Atteinte d'un mal mystérieux et incurable, elle se rend à Gairloch, petite bourgade du nord-ouest de l'Écosse, bien décidée à faire la lumière sur le seul et unique rêve qui la hante depuis toujours.Mais lorsqu'elle rencontre un homme énigmatique au milieu des bois, l'essence même de son existence en est bouleversée.Qui est donc cet être aux multiples visages qui l'attire si inexorablement ?Cet être avec qui elle replonge dans un passé troublé, au coeur de guerres de clans et de légendes oubliées ?Et elle, qui est-elle véritablement ?Le compte à rebours est enclenché...Car les fantômes du passé jettent leur ombre sur le présent, et la mort approche...

Es geht um 2 Raben, Hugin und Munin, die Raben des Odin, die sich immer auf ihrem Ast, einer riesigen Eiche treffen. An einem stürmischen Abend beobachten die beiden Raben, wie Blätter, Seiten und immer mehr davon an Ihrem Ast vorbeifliegen, es sind Seiten aus einer Bibel, also der Bibel genau. Als Odin oder Wotans Raben, die ja zu Odins Zeiten diesem immer berichteten, was sich auf der Welt so zugetragen hat, können die mit den Geschichten der Schöpfungsgeschichte gar nichts anfangen, sie veralbern und kommentieren jede einzelne Textzeile bis zum Ende der Schöpfung und dann sogar noch Noahs Arche, es wird gelästert, geulkt ... bis Hugin sich wünschte zu erfahren, wie den die Schöpfung nun tatsächlich stattgefunden hat. Ja wenn Odins Raben sich etwas wünschen. Zapp, werden Sie auf einen absolut leeren Planeten verbracht, dieser Planet ist aber wesentlich mehr, als er scheint, dort werden Planeten gebaut, entworfen, ganze Galaxien, komplette Universen ja mehrere den es gibt kein Universum, es existiert ein Multiversum. Die beiden lernen den Schöpfer kennen, nicht den Gott aus der Bibel, der Schöpfer ist nur einer von vielen weiteren Schöpfern, so nennen sich die Mitglieder einer alten Gilde, die alles Mögliche bauen, erschaffen. Die Raben sehen wie ein Planet montiert wird, aufgebaut und an den Bestimmungsort transportiert Hugin und Munin lernen die Auftraggeber kennen, meistens Götter, Räte oder Erben von reichen galaktischen TV oder Musikstars, die sich Luxus gönnen und an den Bewohnern Ihren Frust auslassen können. Während des Schreibens entwickelte sich das Buch ganz anders. Anfangs sind da nur die Bibelpassagen, die von Hugin und Munin bretthart kommentiert und die Widersprüche in diesem schlecht recherchierten Buch entlarvt wurden. So sollte es weiter gehen, bis Mose 3 aber wie bei Svenney O`Sheäs wahren Abenteuern, entwickelten die beiden Raben ein Eigenleben, indem sie selbst zur Geschichte wurden, aber auch Odin¿s Walhalla bekommt sein Fett weg, wie einige Personen des aktuellen Zeitgeschehens. Im Höhepunkt dieser Geschichte taucht Tsering Khy, ein nepalesischer Lama auf, der die Reinkarnation aus der Inkarnation heraus erklärt und in 1000 den Jahren einige Inkarnationen und die folgende Reinkarnation, das Auflösen durchmachte um am Ende sein Nirwana, als Computerprogramm zu betreten und somit nicht still unsterblich den Kreislauf des Seins unterbricht, sondern ...... lest es selbst.

Titus est un chat. Il est le héros de ce conte philosophique drôle et tendre, puissant et poétique.Retrouvez les thématiques chères à l¿univers de Jean Rasther : l¿amour, la femme, la mutabilité dont souffrent les choses et les êtres, la mort, la transcendance.Découvrir l¿épopée de Titus c¿est, par un jeu subtil de réflexions, se questionner nécessairement sur le sens donné à sa propre vie, dans la pleine lumière des soleils noirs de la mélancolie.

" Il faut une certaine audace pour traiter un pareil sujet à la fin du XIXe siècle.Nous sommes cependant convaincus d¿avance que le lecteur nous pardonnera eu égard à notre sincérité.En effet, nous venons offrir au public non pas les conclusions d¿un mystique enthousiasme non plus que les critiques partiales d¿un esprit prévenu, mais bien le résultat d¿un travail positif digne d¿être pris en considération par tous les gens sérieux.Nous allons d¿abord voir ce qüil faut entendre par le mot de Pierre Philosophale et pour cela nous aurons à résumer l¿opinion des alchimistes les plus instruits. Quand nous saurons la signification scientifique de cette expression, il nous faudra voir si elle est, oui ou non, en contradiction avec les données de la chimie contemporaine. Éclairés sur ces deux points, nous aborderons l¿Histoire, cherchant avec la plus grande impartialité si la Pierre Philosophale a donné de son existence des preuves sérieuses et irréfutables, capables d¿être facilement contrôlées par le lecteur. Ce sera là le point capital de notre travail, la raison d¿être de toute notre étude.C¿est alors que nous pourrons dire quelques mots de la grande famille alchimique, des doctrines de ses membres et des débris de leur science subsistant encore dans l¿architecture de nos vieux monuments et les rites de certains hauts grades de la Franc-Maçonnerie. Enfin une petite liste des livres les plus utiles au débutant terminera nos recherches.Tel est le plan de notre travail ; nous espérons qüil ne fera pas trop regretter au lecteur les quelques minutes que lui prendra sa lecture et nous prions d¿excuser d¿avance les imperfections qui pourraient s¿y trouver uniquement imputables à l¿auteur de l¿étude et non aux doctrines et aux maîtres étudiés."

A Kitsune dreaming of a wider world. A prince seeking purpose. A love that defies the odds. Trapped in a dull and unfilling role as palace maid, Rin dreams of rising higher in the immortal court. Determined to change her lot in life, she plans to use her illusion power to spy on her ruler's rival and prove her worth. But when her mission fails, she's turned human as punishment. Now she has until the next full moon to seduce a human prince, break his engagement, and upend his treaty with a rival kingdom without her Kitsune magic or voice, otherwise she'll become a common fox.Hikaru is the dutiful oldest son and heir. Whatever he's asked, he does without complaint. Outwardly, at least. Inwardly, he pines to be a poet, scholar, or anything but a prince. Then he finds a mysterious woman wandering alone beside spirit invested woods, and while he knows he shouldn't, he brings her home. She cannot speak, but there's something bewitching about her, drawing him in becoming a dangerous temptation he cannot afford, because peace depends on his marriage to another... Rin thought it would be simple. Kitsune are experts at deceiving mortals, after all. But the foreign human heart beating in chest threatens to betray her. To save her life, she has to destroy his, and the more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny her growing feelings. Now Rin is caught between two impossible choices: either let fate tear them apart or risk her magic and life for love.

The Naughty Goldie Series contains all four of the emotionally driven books about Goldilocks coming into herself by realizing the good-girl life her parents set out for her might not the path she chooses to travel. Instead, for what she thinks will be one day only, Goldilocks heads out in search of any one of the three men deemed the town bad boys: the Bear brothers. She's quick to learn this won't be a one day occurrence. The respect and love she's never known wins her heart. Goldilocks' frustrations boil over from always being a good girl and dating parent approved guys. She builds her courage to step out of her comfort zone for one day, or so was the plan. Patch, Mack and Bash Bear are the designated bad boys of their small town. Their reputation as men who ravish women isn't far off from the truth. Knowing this, a hike through the woods in pursuit of the naughty Bear brothers surpasses her wildest expectations. Upon discovering how much love the men hold for her, she comes to realize the path her parents set her on isn't what she wants. But the loss of respect from her parents and the townsfolk torments her, and she has to decide if the love the men grant her will be enough? Truth is subjective. Forgiveness is a hard pill to swallow. Acceptance is damn near impossible... This book contains fully consensual sexual scenes that may offend some readers: MF, MFM, FMF, bondage, dominance, voyeurism, and polyamory. *No sexuaI contact between brothers.

Armed and targeted with the power over fate, she seeks to master the magic in her blood before Fenrir and the witches rise again. Until Erik strips her from the arms of her beloved--and all memory of him--and takes her to the witches hiding in a realm of fire giants.

And when Vali discovers the truth about his father, finding Ailsa becomes more crucial than ever.

A non-fiction Da Vinci Code for the 21st century, this thrilling treasure hunt traces the voyage of the legendary Jewish Menorah from the Jerusalem of the Knights Templar through France, Portugal and North America, providing mind-blowing history and mystery for fans of The Curse of Oak Island. The Jewish Menorah is one of the world's most sacred artifacts, a man-size lamp stand with seven arms, made from a single block of gold, that is an iconic symbol for the Jewish people. King Solomon placed it in the inner sanctum of the Temple of Jerusalem, but by the 5th century AD, all trace of it had disappeared from the official record, and it was assumed lost. Two historical researchers, Corjan Mol and Christopher Morford, now reveal the astounding secret of what happened to the Menorah. Through their meticulous research as well as a jaw-dropping stroke of luck, Mol and Morford discovered that the Menorah was dug up from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in the time of the Crusades by the Knights Templar and smuggled to France with the help of the French King Louis IX. From there it was taken to Portugal, to end up in North America after interventions by Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. The secret was hidden in plain sight in both France and North America, on a scale so big that it took 800 years for it to be discovered.

" La Bretagne est de toutes nos provinces celle qui offre encore de nos jours la race la plus pure, les plus vieilles traditions, la physionomie la plus originale. Si la Provence est le pôle latin de la France, la Bretagne en est le pôle celtique. L¿une lui a transmis le courant classique de la Grèce et de Rome ; l¿autre lui a renvoyé le courant mystérieux, mais non moins puissant, qui jaillit de sa source primitive avec le reflux des races s¿urs du nord-ouest de l¿Europe. La Provence se souvient d¿avoir été le royaume d¿Arles, le pays de la langue d¿oc et des troubadours contre les barbares du Nord. La Bretagne oublie moins encore qüelle a été l¿Armorique, le royaume de Breiz-Izel contre ces mêmes Franks, et qüun de ses rois, Noménoé, poursuivit un empereur carolingien jusque sous les murs de Paris. Celtes, Latins et Franks, trois races, trois génies, trois mondes, si opposés qüils paraissent irréconciliables."
