A King of Masks and Magic by Lisa Cassidy Pdf

A storm is coming… The Shadowhawk has been unmasked to those he trusts most. Montagn, the most powerful empire in the world, prepares for invasion. And back in the tangled alleys and dark streets of Dock City, Vengeance lurks. Badly injured after the ambush that nearly claimed his life, Cuinn Acondor is recovering in the Twin Thrones, determined to grow strong so that he can go home and do more. Be more. Talyn Dynan, reeling from the news that Montagn has been using Vengeance as a tool to undermine Mithranar from within, has a single purpose … return and raze them to the ground. But Vengeance isn’t their only enemy. The prince of night grows stronger, his grip on power in Mithranar tightening. And a deadly strike to the heart of the Dumnorix family reveals a greater threat than anyone realised. Together, Talyn and the Shadowhawk must stand and fight, or risk losing everything they love. The third book in A Tale of Stars and Shadow is filled with slow burn romance, political intrigue, found family, and epic battles. Perfect for those who love DK Holmberg, Philip C Quaintrell, and Christopher Mitchell.

The Spiritual Power of Masks by Nigel Pennick Pdf

• Reveals how mask rituals are akin to shamanic journeying and allow the mask wearer to personify an ancestral presence, spirit, deity, or power • Examines animal guising and shows how mask customs are tied to creation myths and the ancestral founders of a people, tribe, city, or nation • Looks at morris dancers and mummers in the UK, Krampuslauf and Perchtenlauf in Germanic areas, the Gorgon myths of Greece, Norse Berserker rituals, and the annual Black Forest rite to awaken ensouled masks every spring There is a spiritual power in masks that transports one into realms unseen and gives voice to things unspoken. Within the context of ritual, putting on a mask places the wearer at the intersection between the present and the past, the living and the dead, this world and the Otherworld. Masks make it possible to activate ancient archetypes, with the mask wearer reanimating or personifying an ancestral presence or spirit, a deity or power, an animal or a being of the eldritch world. In this illustrated study, Nigel Pennick explores the magical and spiritual aspects of mask wearing from ancient times to the present. He examines the many mask traditions around Europe and shows how mask rituals are similar to shamanic journeying and near-death experiences and can induce ecstatic states that allow the power signified by the mask to take possession of the individual wearing it. He also looks at the practice of dressing up as sacred animals and mask wearing as it relates to ostenta, events that occur suddenly and without warning that are considered a token or sign from the Otherworld. Unveiling the sacred power of masks, the author shows how masks allow us to transport into realms unseen, embody ancestors and otherworldly entities, and connect with traditions that stretch back to time immemorial.

The Curse of the Masks by Samael Vougan Pdf

Book based on the Halka teaching "In order that true evil may not be persecuted, it is necessary to create another evil to be persecuted" A prisoner has been cursed by the Curse Of The Masks which covers his face with wood and only in the face of the truth can this curse be undone. According to those responsible for this curse, this prisoner knows the true reason of the war and only he can stop the killing that has happened in the whole Halka Lands, but he refuses to speak. However, he leaves an encrypted letter which, according to whoever cursed him, would reveal the secret about the war which persecutes all those who belong to his magical form, the Ubanâi. What everyone believes is that Amlaah, a man descending from the magical form that needs death to survive, begins a war to become more powerful, because the more people are killed, the stronger he will become and thus be able to recreate its own magic, to benefit him and the likewise magic, and then they may become immortal and reign over all. However, is this the real reason for the war? In a plot without heroes and no villains, you decide who to trust and you can still have the encrypted letter in hand to try to decipher and then find out who is telling the truth and who is lying. A story with many mysteries and without an end, because it is up to you to discover what is hidden, and judge the actions of each character according to what you think is right or wrong.

Mediums and Magical Things by Laurel Kendall Pdf

Statues, paintings, and masks—like the bodies of shamans and spirit mediums—give material form and presence to otherwise invisible entities, and sometimes these objects are understood to be enlivened, agentive on their own terms. This book explores how magical images are expected to work with the shamans and spirit mediums who tend and use them in contemporary South Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar, Bali, and elsewhere in Asia. It considers how such things are fabricated, marketed, cared for, disposed of, and sometimes transformed into art-market commodities and museum artifacts.

The Masks of King Lear by Marvin Rosenberg Pdf

"LEAR: Does Lear walk thus? Speak thus? / Who is it that can tell me who I am?" "Centuries of critics and actors have tried to tell, but Lear's identity, and the meaning of his action in the play, are still touched with enigma." "This book seeks Shakespeare's intentions in King Lear in new ways. It explores major interpretations of distinguished actors and directors as well as of critics from England, the United States, France, Belgium, Japan, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Poland. Is the play unsuited for the stage, as Charles Lamb - and others - have declared? How, in fact, has it been staged, and how visualized by critics? Is Lear designed to be a frail and aging old man? A powerful image of authority? Mad, or senile, to begin with? A kindly old father? Everyman? All of these? None? Does the play end with redemption? Unmitigated despair? Is it Christian? Pagan? Mr. Rosenberg confronts these and other questions from the base of his study and personal experience of the play." "To deepen the theatrical side of that experience, he began, as he did in his The Masks of Othello, with an involvement in the staged play: he directed and acted in Othello, and he followed a production of King Lear through two months of rehearsal and performance. One by-product of this intense participation was a discovery of some special qualities in the language of the play." "To achieve a better understanding of these qualities, Mr. Rosenberg put Lear's vocabulary through a computer, and established a concordance of every word both for the play as a whole and for each character. Interesting structural elements in Shakespeare's language become apparent." "Recognizing the difficulty, for a critic, of responding afresh to Shakespeare's craftsmanship in characterization and in arousing expectation, Mr. Rosenberg also arranged to expose the play to spectators who had never seen or read it. The response of this naive audience, after attending performances, was curious and illuminating. The author believes that any critical approach must be used that will increase our understanding of Shakespeare's work."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
