A Field Guide to Demons, Fairies, Fallen Angels, and Other Subversive Spirits by Carol K. Mack,Dinah Mack Pdf

The Macks divert our gaze from our contemporary red-faced, cloven-hoofed misrepresentation of demons to remind us of the ancient roles demons were originally assigned to play. From the Tommyknockers of North American mountain mines to the South African Mbulu that waits in the river for lone travelers, A Field Guide to Demons classifies these creatures by their domains--water, mountain, forest--rather than in alphabetical or cultural order, dishing out antique and contemporary lore on these most misunderstood of spirits. A Field Guide to Demons melds folklore and mythology; maintains a surprisingly evenhanded view of demons; and reveals their role as the necessary challenger to established order, the antagonist--without which there could be no hero--and the darkness through which goodness shines brightest. --Brian Patterson

The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology by Deena West Budd Pdf

A study of dozens of hidden animals—from the chupacabra to Mongolian death worms—drawing on eyewitness accounts from around the world. This informative book includes information, interviews, and stories about forty different cryptids seen around the world by credible eyewitnesses like policemen, rangers, and doctors. Readers will learn where and how to find flying humanoids, hairy humanoids, giants of all kinds including rabbits, bats, and spiders, goblins, vampires, werewolves, demons, aliens, and ghosts. Cryptozoology—a term coined in the 1950s by a French zoologist named Bernard Heuvelmans—is the study of hidden or unknown animals not recognized in standard zoology. From traditional cryptids like Big Foot, the Abominable Snowman, and Nessie, to mythical cryptids like unicorns, vampires, dragons, and werewolves, to lesser-known cryptids like bunyips (waterhorses), Encantado (Dolphin Men of Brazil), thunderbirds, mothmen, and chupacabra, these creatures are very much alive, says expert Deena West Budd, if beyond the realm of normal perception. The Weiser Field Guide to Cryptozoology includes a brief history of the field and surveys all the creatures for which any credible amount of research exists—as well as giving tips on how to spot these creatures and cautionary advice on how to interact with them. Includes two dozen line drawings rendered from eyewitness descriptions

Angels and Demons by Joseph B Lumpkin Pdf

This is the history and the future events of Angels and Demons. Events are taken from the oldest Jewish and Christian texts ever written. Details are examined, questioned, and combined into a panoramic book. Three times creation fell. Three times Gods declared a separation; once in heaven, once on earth, and once between the two. Three times, God's creation violated his will, so the earth and all therein suffered, or so we are told.There was a great war in heaven and Lucifer, prince of the angels, declared his intention to seize the throne of the Most High God. Fueled by arrogance and pride, he whipped up support, promising one-third of the angels a place in his new kingdom if they followed him. It was a choice to serve God or rule a piece of what would be left after heaven was destroyed. They thought it better to rule in chaos than serve in paradise. The war was on.But, his plan did not work. Even though Lucifer was the pinnacle of God's angelic creation and the greatest of all angels, he could not defeat the warrior Michael and the army that remained, for God empowered the host advancing his will. With the rage of the vanquished-prideful, Lucifer, now known as Satan, continued his attack, not against the heavenly host that had defeated him, but against the helpless creation of the God he so hated. This was to be the cause of the fall of man.Part of the heavenly host, still obedient to God, were fulfilling their appointed duties. These were called "The Watchers." They were assigned to record the deeds of man and watch over the creation, accounting for its activities. It was after the fall of the angels and after the fall of man, when mankind began to populate the earth, that the Watchers noticed the emerging beauty of the human women. These spiritual beings saw the women of the earth and wanted them. They sought to taste the love and lust that drove men. So they did, and 200 Watchers fell from the spiritual world to the baser physical realm. The consequences would literally haunt mankind forever.
