Mythologie

În zorii timpurilor, doi adversari antici se luptau pentru controlul P¿mântului. Un singur b¿rbat s-a în¿l¿at, pe atunci, de-a dreapta oamenilor. Un soldat al c¿rui nume ni-l amintim înc¿ ¿i ast¿zi...Înc¿ de când s-a pr¿büit cu nava sa, Colonelul For¿elor Speciale Angelice, Mikhail Mannuki'ili, s-a luptat cu sentimentul c¿ ar trebui s¿ încheie o anume misiune. Din p¿cate, accidentul l-a f¿cut s¿ î¿i piard¿ toate amintirile, astfel c¿ Angelicul nu mai ¿tie cui ar trebui s¿ i se adreseze sau ce scop avea acea misiune. Acum c¿ el ¿i Ninsianna ¿i-au m¿rturisit în sfâr¿it iubirea unul fä¿ de cel¿lalt, pare din ce în ce mai tentant s¿ uite povestea misiunii. În fond, cui i-ar p¿sa de o planet¿ atât de primitiv¿ ca P¿mântul?Cea-Care-Este îi trimite continuu Ninsiannei viziuni legate de o apocalips¿ pe cale s¿ se produc¿, o apocalips¿ ce nu poate fi oprit¿ decât de Mikhail. Este o tentäie üoar¿- Mikhail o iube¿te- tot ce trebuie s¿ fac¿ este s¿ îi conving¿ pe r¿zboinici s¿ îl lase s¿ îi antreneze. De ce ar trebui s¿ îi spun¿ c¿ un rival cunoäte locäia Templului lui Ki?Între timp, în ceruri, Lucifer pune la cale un plan de a se folosi de femeile umane pentru a-i instiga pe ceilal¿i Angelici afläi pe cale de dispari¿ie s¿ organizeze o revolt¿ împotriva tat¿lui s¿u nemuritor.Saga ¿Sabia Zeilor" continü în volumul al III-lea: Fructul interzis.

Times of crisis test us, physically, emotionally, spiritually. But crises can also be opportunities for change, for renewed health, and new visions. Our response can make all the difference. Will we let crisis defeat us? Or will we rise to the challenge and one day emerge from these catastrophic events as better people building a better world? Change must come; it is inevitable. But the form that change takes is at least partly up to us.The prayers collected here, written in the Celtic tradition, offer us ways to spiritually meet the crises of our day. They call us to hope and to healing, to blessing others and to receiving strength and courage. They remind us that the Divine One is at work, even now, ever here.

Coloring is no longer for children only.Adult coloring books stimulate our imaginations. They can also be a form of mindfulness technique, just as yoga and meditation are. Research shows that coloring can reduce stress by helping to slow heart rate and respiration, loosen muscles, and stimulate the brain. Coloring can open up a quiet space where we are able to hear the Divine voice speaking to our hearts.The images in this coloring book were drawn from medieval bestiaries, and the descriptions of the animal are summaries compiled from actual ancient texts. Although today we may no longer believe that a panther''s breath is so sweet that it draws everyone to her . . . or that barnacle geese grow on trees . . . or that mermaids even exist, we still can learn from these fantastical bestiary creatures, just as medieval readers did. Each animal included here, from dragons to goats and unicorns to crocodiles, is a delight in its own right. Each one allows us to engage with the Divine as the ancient Celts did-and as we might have when we were children-using our imaginations, our creativity, and our hands to connect mind, heart, and body with God and Creation.Ask the animals, and they will teach you,or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,or let the fish in the sea inform you.Job 12:7-8

Coloring with the Green ManMore and more people are rediscovering what they already knew when they were kids-coloring is fun. What''s more, coloring can lead us into a deeper awareness of both our inner selves and the world around us.The Green Man images in this coloring book have been paired with short quotations from two of Anamchara Books'' titles: The Green Man: Ancient Symbol for the Modern World and Celtic Nature Prayers: Prayers from an Ancient Well, both by Kenneth McIntosh. These quotations are offered for use as mental focal points as you color, with space provided for you to jot down any thoughts that may rise to the surface.As you color, you may find yourself connecting with Nature in a new way, experiencing what poet Elizabeth Browning described: "Earth is crammed with heaven and every bush aflame with God."

Here are prayers and blessings that sanctify the simplest of daily activities. They remind us to look for the holiness of the everyday and the real presence of God in Creation. They will illumine your life.

This little book contains "green thoughts" from writers who gardened across the centuries, thoughts that speak about the beauty and meaning of gardens. These words are combined with the author''s personal prayers, based on the ancient Celtic words from the Carmina Gadelica. Whether you garden yourself or only enjoy looking at gardens, this collection of thoughts will remind you of the deep connection with the life force that sustains not only every green thing but also our own lives and the entire cosmos.Here in my garden, I bend my kneeto the beauty I see beneath me,to the beauty I see above me,to the beauty I see all around me.O Great Being, Spirit of Beauty,bestow on me eyes to see beauty in leaf, beauty in flower,beauty in love, beauty in power, beauty in stem, beauty in fruit,beauty in soil, beauty in root. Beauty on earth as it is in heaven,here in my garden, in shade and light, by day and night,I bend my knee to beauty.

A concise guide to the Gods and Pharaohs of Ancient Kemet/Egypt

Memory and Foresight in the Celtic World delves deep into the experience of Celtic communities and individuals in the late medieval period through to the modern age. Its thirteen essays range widely, from Scottish soldiers in France in the fifteenth century to Gaelic-speaking communities in rural New South Wales in the twentieth, and expatriate Irish dancers in the twenty-first. Connecting them are the recurring themes of memory and foresight: how have Celtic communities maintained connections to the past while keeping an eye on the future?Chapters explore language loss and preservation in Celtic countries and among Celtic migrant communities, and the influence of Celtic culture on writers such as Dylan Thomas and James Joyce. In Australia, how have Irish, Welsh and Scottish migrants engaged with the politics and culture of their home countries, and how has the idea of a Celtic identity changed over time?Drawing on anthropology, architecture, history, linguistics, literature and philosophy, Memory and Foresight in the Celtic World offers diverse, thought-provoking insights into Celtic culture and identity.

The Saite Dynasty (664-525 BC) represents a dynamic but lesser-known era in the history of ancient Egypt. In less than a decade Psamtek I reunified the country after almost 400 years of fragmentation. The Saite rulers promoted trade and embarked on important reforms, allowing Egypt to regain a major role in the Mediterranean world. -- .

Gy¿r város jelképe a vaskakas. Ez egy szélkakas, amit törökök a város ostrom általi elfoglalása után állítottak a városi Vízi kapura 1594-ben.
