The Eternal Circle by Michael S. Booker Pdf

“Your sisters will die without you. It’s time to come home. It’s time to begin the Circle.” Kendra Scott awakens from a nightmare by an ominous message from her deceased grandmother. Since the devastating passing of her beloved grandmother, the legendary High Priestess of Magic, Claire Roux-Scott, as well as the death of her estranged mother, several years earlier, Kendra has struggled to make a new life and identity for herself, in her ancestral New Orleans, far away from her childhood home of Oakland, California. For the last two years, Kendra has cultivated her talents as a Magic Woman, searched for inner peace, while healing from the wounds of her past. Yet, when Mother Claire comes to Kendra, with the warning that Kendra’s sister, Shannon, as well as her lifelong friends, Angela Stone and Grace Lu, descendants of powerful Magic Women, known as the Eternal Circle, are in danger, Kendra knows that she must face her fears and return home. “Everything comes full circle…” Back in Oakland, Shannon Scott senses the looming peril as well. She too, has experienced the omens of a rising evil and the escalating fears that the Veil that separates the real world and the world of Darkness is diminishing forever. Shannon has struggled to distance herself from magic and all the trauma that it has caused in her family. She has made diligent efforts to keep her close friends from discovering their magical heritage, with the intentions of keeping them normal and safe. However, with Kendra’s sudden return home, as well as a series of abnormal, horrifying events that transforms the lives of all four women, Shannon and the others must accept that magic, in all its chaos and wonder, is perhaps their only salvation. As family tensions flare, secrets are revealed, and terrors are unfolded, the four women will have to face their own individual demons and embrace their gifts of magic. Soon, they will have to unite, against an ancient Order of Dark Magicians, demonic abominations, and ultimately, a timeless, malevolent, and preternatural force that has awakened and is coming, not just for their magic, but for their souls.

An Eternal Circle by Adam Falconer Pdf

.......The resounding success of the universally-acclaimed and documented Roman Forum construction project has changed Adam and Tyras lives for ever - setting them on a collision course with destiny where their true voyage of inner discovery is only just beginning. In the wake of their monumental enlightenment amid the ruined and deserted backstreets of the Via Claudia and Adams chance finding of the gold and silver rings, it seems life has finally resumed a semblance of normality. As the leaves begin to fall and the days grow noticeably colder and shorter with the imminent onset of another winter, all appears well in their fine country house where the flickering candle flames and blazing log fires bring warmth and comfort on the chill evenings. Within the convivial atmosphere of one of Tyras elegant dinner parties, their all-seeing and spiritualist friend, Sophie, announces an impending newspaper article which, ultimately, not only gives them all cause to reflect upon their pasts again but also necessitates a return trip to Italy and a lonely, isolated place where, it seems, the hand of man has not moved for an eternity. In accordance with Sophies eerie prediction, after only a few short weeks a team of young archaeologists stumble, quite by chance, on something which when unearthed and investigated, serves not only to confound them with its intrigue and mysteries and leaves them searching for answers, it proves to have far-reaching consequences for Adam, Tyra and Sophie as a group - plunging the world of medical science and the occult movement into shock and bewilderment when the true depth of the discovery is made known....

Echoes of the North: Kalevala Rediscovered by Pradip Kumar Ray Pdf

In the preface of this edition of Kalevala, we embark on a journey of rediscovery—a journey that takes us back to 19th-century Finland and introduces us to the visionary mind of Elias Lonnrot. It is within these pages that we uncover the fascinating origins, the transformative impact, and the enduring legacy of this epic tale. Kalevala, a work born out of Lonnrot’s tireless dedication to preserving Finnish folklore, emerged at a time when the nation was undergoing a profound cultural and national awakening. Lonnrot, a physician and a philologist, recognized the importance of collecting and documenting the oral traditions of the Finnish people, and he embarked on a remarkable mission to gather these fragments of ancient wisdom. In this preface, we delve into the historical and cultural context that gave rise to Kalevala. We explore the significance of the Finnish national identity and the role that folklore and mythology played in shaping that identity. We learn about the turbulent times of Finland's struggle for independence and how Kalevala became a symbol of cultural resilience and unity. The preface also unravels the process by which Lonnrot meticulously compiled and shaped the verses of Kalevala. We discover the countless journeys he undertook through the Finnish countryside, listening to the tales of the people, and meticulously piecing together the fragments of an epic that had been passed down through generations. It is a testament to his passion, perseverance, and unwavering belief in the power of storytelling. As we immerse ourselves in the preface, we come to understand the significance of Kalevala in the Finnish literary tradition. Lonnrot’s work not only preserved the ancient tales but also breathed new life into them, transforming them into a coherent narrative that captured the imagination of readers. The preface offers insights into the structure, themes, and motifs that define Kalevala, and the ways in which it resonated with readers both within and beyond Finland's borders. Moreover, the preface highlights the impact of Kalevala on subsequent generations of writers, artists, and musicians. We explore the echoes of Kalevala in Finnish literature, where its themes and characters continue to inspire and influence. We learn about the musical compositions and operas that have been created in response to the epic, showcasing the enduring power of its verses to ignite the creative spirit. Lastly, the preface invites readers to embark on their own journey of discovery through the pages of Kalevala. It is an invitation to explore the beauty, wisdom, and magic that lie within these verses—to immerse oneself in the tales of heroes and deities, to witness the power of words and music, and to experience the profound connection between folklore, culture, and the human experience. As we delve into the preface, we open the gateway to a world of wonder, where ancient tales and timeless wisdom converge. We prepare ourselves to embark on a voyage through the epic tapestry of Kalevala, ready to be enchanted, inspired, and transformed by the verses that have captivated generations.

Bob Dylan in Performance by Keith Nainby,John M. Radosta Pdf

This study of Bob Dylan’s art employs a performance studies lens, exploring the distinctive ways he brings words and music to life on recordings, onstage, and onscreen. Chapters focus on the relationship of Dylan’s recorded performances to the historical bardic role, to the American popular song tradition, and to rock music culture. His uses of both stage and studio to shape his performances are explored, as are his forays into cinema. Special consideration is given to his vocal performances and to his use of particular personae as a performer. The full scope of Dylan’s body of work to date is situated in terms of the influences that have shaped his performances and the ways these performances have shaped contemporary popular music.

Nietzsche's Philosophy of the Eternal Recurrence of the Same by Karl Lowith Pdf

This long overdue English translation of Karl Löwith's magisterial study is a major event in Nietzsche scholarship in the Anglo-American intellectual world. Its initial publication was extraordinary in itself—a dissident interpretation, written by a Jew, appearing in National Socialist Germany in 1935. Since then, Löwith's book has continued to gain recognition as one of the key texts in the German Nietzsche reception, as well as a remarkable effort to reclaim the philosopher's work from political misappropriation. For Löwith, the centerpiece of Nietzsche's thought is the doctrine of eternal recurrence, a notion which Löwith, unlike Heidegger, deems incompatible with the will to power. His careful examination of Nietzsche's cosmological theory of the infinite repetition of a finite number of states of the world suggests the paradoxical consequences this theory implies for human freedom. How is it possible to will the eternal recurrence of each moment of one's life, if both this decision and the states of affairs governed by it appear to be predestined? Löwith's book, one of the most important, if seldom acknowledged, sources for recent Anglophone Nietzsche studies, remains a central text for all concerned with understanding the philosopher's work.

The Figure of the Singer by Daniel Karlin Pdf

Why did poets continue to call themselves singers, and their poems songs, long after the formal link between poetry and music had been severed? Daniel Karlin explores the origin and meaning of the 'figure of the singer', tracing its roots in classical mythology and in the Bible, and following its rise from the 'adventurous song' of Milton's Paradise Lost to its apotheosis in the nineteenth century-by which time it had also become an oppressive cliché. Poets might embrace, or resist, this dominant figure of their art, but could not ignore it. Shadowing the metaphor is another figure, that of the literal singer, a source of fascination, and rivalry, to poets who are confined to words on the page. The book opens with an emblematic figure of the greatest of all 'singers': Homer, playing his lyre, at the centre of the frieze of poets on the Albert Memorial in London. Chapters on the tragicomic rise and fall of 'the bard', on the link between female song and suffering, and on the metaphor of poetry as birdsong, are followed by detailed readings of poems by Tennyson, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Walt Whitman, and Thomas Hardy. The final chapter, on the songs of Bob Dylan, suggests that recording technology has given fresh impetus to the quarrel (which is also a love-affair) between poetic language and song. The Figure of the Singer offers a profound and stimulating analysis of the idea of poetry as song and of the complex, troubled relations between voice and text

The Star of Redemption by Franz Rosenzweig Pdf

The Star of Redemption is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding religion and philosophy in the twentieth century. Fusing philosophy and theology, the book assigns both Judaism and Christianity distinct but equally important roles in the spiritual structure of the world. Franz Rosenzweig finds in both biblical religions approaches to a comprehension of reality. The major themes and motifs of The Star—the birth, life, death, and the immortality of the soul; Eastern philosophies and Jewish mysticism; the relationship between God, world and humanity over time; and revelation as the real biblical miracle of faith and path to redemption—resonate meaningfully.

Toward a New Council of Florence by Nicolaus of Cusa Pdf

This is a book of English translations of the writings of one of the most important geniuses in history--Cardinal Nicolaus of Cusa (1401-1464). He created ideas which had never been conceived before and which changed history for the better--up through our time and far, far into the future. His thinking processes are sometimes summed up in his concept of the “coincidence of opposites.” Instead of starting his thought process from accumulated sense perceptions and deducing law from observed appearances, Cusa starts with the hypothesis that there must be an original potential from which all multiplicity derives. By starting from the top, or “the Origin,” Cusa was able to solve previously insoluble problems. For example, his idea that the “right to govern comes from the consent of the governed” was not only the basis for solving clashes within the Catholic Church, and even the attempt to reunify all of the various Christian churches at the Council of Florence, but also lay at the heart of the experiments in government set up in the New England colonies of North America and the later creation of the United States Constitution. Besides the title work “On the Peace of Faith” which resolves the conflicts among the religions, 17 other papers are translated into English--14 for the first time. The ongoing renaissance in the study of Cusa worldwide is the basis for resolving the conflicts which still plague the world.

Womanizing Nietzsche by Kelly Oliver Pdf

In Womanizing Nietzsche, Kelly Oliver uses an analysis of the position of woman in Nietzsche's texts to open onto the larger question of philosophy's relation to the feminine and the maternal. Offering readings from Nietzsche, Derrida, Irigaray, Kristeva, Freud and Lacan, Oliver builds an innovative foundation for an ontology of intersubjective relationships that suggests a new approach to ethics.
