Twilight of the Godlings by Francis Young Pdf

Throughout the recorded history of Britain, belief in earthbound spirits presiding over nature, the home and human destiny has been a feature of successive cultures. From the localised deities of Britannia to the Anglo-Saxons' elves and the fairies of late medieval England, Britain's godlings have populated a shadowy, secretive realm of ritual and belief running parallel to authorised religion. Twilight of the Godlings delves deep into the elusive history of these supernatural beings, tracing their evolution from the pre-Roman Iron Age to the end of the Middle Ages. Arguing that accreted cultural assumptions must be cast aside in order to understand the godlings – including the cherished idea that these folkloric creatures are the decayed remnants of pagan gods and goddesses – this bold, revisionist book traces Britain's 'small gods' to a popular religiosity influenced by classical learning. It offers an exciting new way of grasping the island's most mysterious mythical inhabitants.

Maya and the Return of the Godlings by Rena Barron Pdf

In this highly anticipated sequel, Maya and the godlings must return to the sinister world of The Dark to retrieve the one thing keeping the veil between the worlds from crumbling: her father's soul. Perfect for fans of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky and Willa of the Wood. The threat from The Dark is far from over. Twelve-year-old Maya knows this. After crossing the veil between the two worlds, saving her father, and narrowly escaping the sinister clutches of the Lord of Shadows, tensions between the human world and The Dark are higher than ever. And even worse, Maya's orisha powers as a godling are out of control. Now a guardian in training, Maya spends her days patching up veils with her father and cleaning up near-disasters like baby wormholes that her erratic powers create. But when Maya and her friends discover that something went terribly wrong during their journey to bring her father back to the human world, they are forced to return to The Dark and restore what they left behind, the one thing keeping the veil from falling: her father's soul. The Lord of Shadows is mobilizing his forces for an all-out war against the human world. And this time, Maya and her friends will need all the help they can get. Even if that means teaming up with their greatest enemies, the darkbringers.

The Popular Religion and Folk-Lore of Northern India, Vol. I of II by William Crooke Pdf

Many books have been written on Br‰hmanism, or the official religion of the Hindu; but, as far as I am aware, this is the first attempt to bring together some of the information available on the popular beliefs of the races of Upper India. My object in writing this book has been threefold. In the first place I desired to collect, for the use of all officers whose work lies among the rural classes, some information on the beliefs of the people which will enable them, in some degree, to understand the mysterious inner life of the races among whom their lot is cast; secondly, it may be hoped that this introductory sketch will stimulate inquiry, particularly among the educated races of the country, who have, as yet, done little to enable Europeans to gain a fuller and more sympathetic knowledge of their rural brethren; and lastly, while I have endeavoured more to collect facts than to theorize upon them, I hope that European scholars may find in these pages some fresh examples of familiar principles. My difficulty has arisen not so much from deficiency of material, as in the selection and arrangement of the mass of information, which lies scattered through a considerable literature, much of which is fugitive.Ê

Invasion of the Chosen (epic fantasy/sword and sorcery) by Timothy L. Cerepaka Pdf

After the events of the last book, Braim Kotogs now wants to move up in the Tournament of the Gods in order to secure his own safety from anyone who wants to take his life. To win his sub-bracket challenge, Braim must defeat his opponent—a shy, unassuming woman with a mysterious past and agenda—in battle, but when Braim learns of a terrible secret about his true nature, he will have to do more than simply win the sub-bracket challenge in order to survive. Raya Mana finds herself kidnapped by a violent and crazy mage who intends to use her for her own vile ends. But when Raya escapes the mage, she must now work with the mysterious Hermit of the Swamp in order to return to World's End, although with the violent mage and her half-god pet chasing her, Raya will have to use all of her wits and intelligence to make it back alive. Shunned and hated by his people, Carmaz Korva now lives alone in the Ruwan wilderness when he stumbles upon a plot by a mysterious race of golems to invade the surface and kill everyone on his home island of Ruwa. Carmaz must work with a legendary—and nsane—mage and his son in order to stop the golems' invasion before it begins, because if he does not, then everyone and everything he loves will be destroyed.

Ascension of the Chosen (epic fantasy/sword and sorcery) by Timothy L. Cerepaka Pdf

When an attempt to restore his magical powers goes wrong, Braim Kotogs must win the Tournament of the Gods in order to ascend to godhood and avoid certain death. But with time running out, and a sudden attack on the Tournament by an enemy that wishes to consume the whole world, Braim might not live long enough to win the Tournament. Raya Mana also wishes to win the Tournament of the Gods, but to do so, she must not only complete the final challenge in her bracket, but also survive a sudden interruption in the Tournament from an enemy who desires to kill her. If she fails to win the final challenge in her bracket, then she will not only lose her one and only chance at godhood, but her life as well. With the golems rampaging across Ruwa, Carmaz Korva must work with a human-eating god to save his people and the world from the golems' invasion. But when it turns out that the golems have the support of an enemy even stronger than the gods, Carmaz might not be able to save his homeland from the enemy within. In the final Tournament of the Gods book, Braim, Raya, and Carmaz face their most difficult challenge yet, because not only must they win the Tournament of the Gods, but they also must save the world from an enemy whose power dwarfs that of the gods.

Masks of the Universe by Edward Harrison Pdf

To the ancient Greeks the universe consisted of earth, air, fire, and water. To Saint Augustine it was the Word of God. To many modern scientists it is the dance of atoms and waves, and in years to come it may be different again. What then is the real Universe? History shows that in every age each society constructs its own universe, believing it to be the real and final Universe. Yet each universe is only a model or mask of the unknown Universe. Originally published in 2003, this book brings together fundamental scientific, philosophical, and religious issues in cosmology, raising thought-provoking questions. In every age people have pitied the universes of their ancestors, convinced that they have at last discovered the ultimate truth. Does the modern model stand at the threshold of discovering everything, or will it, like all the rest, come to be pitied?
