The Wizards of Magog Chronicles of the Sight from the Golden Tome by N. A. Preece Pdf

The third book in the series, 'The Wizards of Magog', takes Jon and his friends on an unexpected journey home. They had defeated Amethyst, the ogre witch-queen and Ebon, the rogue seer; yet the two friends found that forces beyond their control were conspiring to bring about the downfall of the seers and all that they stood for. Many leagues from their destination, Auger wind-rider, Jon and Hamill were thrown into what was the beginning of a deadly game. Ebon had returned as if from the dead only this time he had powerful allies, the Wizards of Magog. Ages old enemies of the Seers, they had found a way to manipulate the unsuspecting rebel seer and force a way into the world of the seers from whence they had been banished millennia ago. Old and valued friends have sought Jon out and together they endeavour to combat the unseen yet ever present influence of the maddened seer. Sorrow at the loss of one of their little band weighs heavy on their minds as Ebon reaches out across the void that separates them by means of The Rod of Dread.

Amethyst, the Ogre Witch-Queen, seeks to enslave Jacob, last of the Foresters, and usurp his powers. He obtains the aid of the Seers receiving a new staff with the power to defeat her. Hamill, least experienced of the seers, is charged with the task of gathering support from the dwarves and others. Darkness covers the land; violent storms and sickness strike at the heart of the Yield preventing former allies sending aid. Hamill turns to his friend, Jon and together they travel north to the Mountain City of the Colossi. Javelin, Archer and Trapper, three of the dwarves who fought with them against Ebon, rally to their cause, along with Braun, the Metal-master. This brave little band head south to meet the forester but Hamill did not count on having to battle with his feelings for Sylvia, an elf from the Ward who travels with them to Winters Hold. The journey is fraught with danger as they encounter opposition at every turn. Separated, they are captured by the ogres but Sylvia's ingenuity enables them to escape only for Hamill and the dwarves to fall foul of a trap. Facing Amethyst at last they challenge her in a combined effort; she summons the power that has lain dormant within her; a power that would have consequences for them all. Witness their struggles as they battle for the safety of the land and all who dwell in it. Will they finally subdue Amethyst saving them from a new dark age or will she become Witch-Queen over the land? Part two of the Golden Tome takes you on a breathtaking journey equal to the first. With your favorite characters from part one, Time Will Tell', it will have you spellbound and yearning for more.

Druidism by Dudley Wright Pdf

THE Druids boasted a faith which appears to have been as imbued with life as that of any ancient or modern religious system. although little is known generally about it.Although their religion was polytheistic in character the Druids recognized a supremacy among the gods, this Supreme being represented by the sun. Next in point Of rank came the lesser divinities, who were symbolized by the moon and stars, and. in course of time. all the celestial bodies were venerated with divine honors. This characteristic was not more marked in Druidism than in other religions of a like nature where the elements were venerated. The sun as sun was not worshiped. The arch-god was Be'l, whose glory was manifested in the sun, and in singing hymns to the luminous orb they manifested their worship to the Supreme and not to the emblem. paying their adoration to what they regarded as the supreme power and eternal being.It was doubtless this veneration of the celestial bodies which laid the foundation of the knowledge possessed by the Druids of astronomical science. to which Czesar and other writers have borne testimony. They were certainly in possession of sufficient knowledge of the motion of heavenly bodies to enable them to fix definite times for their festivals and religious ceremonies, all of which were regulated by the sun and moon, and to calculate on a thirty-year cycle of lunar years in which the month began at the Sixth day. In common with the Gauls, Teutons, and Jews, they reckoned time from evening to morning

A Walk through Jubilees by James L. Kugel Pdf

The first part of this book is an extensive verse-by-verse commentary on the Book of Jubilees. Kugel's stated aim is "to understand what the text is saying and why it is saying it," and in particular to explore the numerous bits of biblical interpretation found in Jubilees and their connection to other exegetical writings of the Second Temple period. Subsequent chapters focus on the possibility that Jubilees had more than one author, as well as on the book’s specific relationship to four other Second Temple texts: the Genesis Apocryphon, the Aramaic Levi Document, 4Q225 Pseudo-Jubilees, and the writings of Philo of Alexandria.

The Bible in History by Robert B. Waltz Pdf

The Bible in History. A study of the history, folklore, and occasionally even the mathematics underlying the Bible. A sort of dictionary of scholarly material you likely won’t find elsewhere. Dedicated to Elizabeth Rosenberg, Patricia Rosenberg, and Catie Jo Pidel. Please understand that this is not a Biblical commentary. Also, while I try very hard to avoid actual theological discussions, the work is very much based on "external evidence" -- the manuscripts of the Bible, the evidence of other historical records, the findings of science, the folklore about the Bible. Some of this can be offensive to some, particularly those who try to find exact literal truth in the Bible. I hope you will accept it (or else not read it :-) in that light. If you are still interested, there is a lot of historical background about the Bible here -- not always direct links to the Bible, but the context of the nations among whom the Israelites lived. There is no Biblical mention of (say) Nabopolassar of Babylon, but his actions would deeply influence Judean history. Knowing even a little of that history can help understand the Bible. Also, where there are variant readings in the manuscripts of the Hebrew Bible or the New Testament, I note it. This may mean that we are uncertain what the Bible says -- and hence what it means. I try either to recover the original meaning or, in some cases, to assess the meanings of both readings. And then there are the tidbits of science and folklore and anything else I can think of.... The result is a grab bag. Some parts may be useful, some may not. The idea is to browse and see what strikes your fancy. With luck, you'll understand more about the Bible after doing so.

The Strangest Man by Graham Farmelo Pdf

'A monumental achievement - one of the great scientific biographies.' Michael Frayn The Strangest Man is the Costa Biography Award-winning account of Paul Dirac, the famous physicist sometimes called the British Einstein. He was one of the leading pioneers of the greatest revolution in twentieth-century science: quantum mechanics. The youngest theoretician ever to win the Nobel Prize for Physics, he was also pathologically reticent, strangely literal-minded and legendarily unable to communicate or empathize. Through his greatest period of productivity, his postcards home contained only remarks about the weather.Based on a previously undiscovered archive of family papers, Graham Farmelo celebrates Dirac's massive scientific achievement while drawing a compassionate portrait of his life and work. Farmelo shows a man who, while hopelessly socially inept, could manage to love and sustain close friendship.The Strangest Man is an extraordinary and moving human story, as well as a study of one of the most exciting times in scientific history. 'A wonderful book . . . Moving, sometimes comic, sometimes infinitely sad, and goes to the roots of what we mean by truth in science.' Lord Waldegrave, Daily Telegraph
