Myth Time

Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun.

What should we eat? It's a simple and fundamental question that still bewilders us despite a seemingly infinite amount of available information on which foods are best for our bodies.

Ancient cultures around the world spoke of a vast cycle of time with alternating dark and golden ages; Plato called it the Great Year.

But new scientific evidence suggest this cycle of high and low ages may have some basis in fact. Now that the astronomical community has discovered that something massive is tugging on our solar system the stage is set for discovering the motion that moves us from high ages of enlightenment to low ages of darkness.

Mircea Eliade and the Sacred and the Profane: Sacred Space, Ritual, Symbols, and Religious Experience explains one of the central claims in Eliade’s work: human beings do not experience the world as flat and uniform.

This book gives a readable account of that distinction and shows how it works in practice. It covers sacred space, sacred time, hierophany, myth, ritual, symbols, nature, consecrated objects, and Eliade’s idea of the human being as homo religiosus. The ...
