Download or read book Silver Bough Volume 3 written by F. Marian McNeill and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Silver Bough is an indispensable treasury of Scottish culture, universally acknowledged as a classic of literature. The author, F Marian McNeill, succeeded in capturing and bringing to life many traditions and customs of old before they died out or were influenced by the modern era. The Silver Branch of the sacred apple tree, laden with crystal blossoms of golden fruit, is in Celtic mythology the equivalent of the Golden Bough of classical mythology - the symbolic bond between the world we know and the Otherworld.In the first volume of the Silver Bough, the author deals generally with Scottish folk-lore and folk belief, with chapters on ethnic origins, the Druids, the Celtic gods, the slow transition to Christianity, magic, the fairy faith, second sight, selkies, changelings and the witch cult. In volume two she began her more in-depth exploration of the foundations of many of these beliefs and rituals through the Calendar of Scottish national festivals, in which we find enshrined many of the fascinating folk customs of our ancestors. This third volume continues that study by looking at the Festivals from Hallow'en to Yule tide. As man makes greater and greater advances in the understanding and control of his physical environment, the river between the known and the unknown gradually changes its course, and the subjects of the simpler beliefs of former times become part of the new territory of knowledge. The Silver Bough maps out the old course of the waterway that in Celtic belief winds between here and beyond, and reveals the very roots of the Scottish people's distinctive customs and way of life. The Silver Bough is a large and important work which involved many years of research into both living and recorded lore. Its genesis lies, perhaps, in the author's subconscious need to reconcile the old primitive world she had glimpsed in childhood with the sophisticated modern world she later entered. "e;I do not believe that you can exaggerate the importance of the preservation of old ways and customs, and all those little things which bind a man to his native place. Today we live in difficult times. The steam-roller of progress is flattening out many of our old institutions, and there is a danger of a general decline in idiom and distinctive quality in our Scottish life. The only way to counteract this peril is to preserve jealously all these elder things which are bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh. For, remember, no man can face the future with courage and confidence unless it is solidly founded upon the past. And conversely, no problem will be too hard, no situation too strange, if we can link it with what we know and love"e; F Marian McNeill

Download or read book Domination without Dominance written by Gonzalo Lamana and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering an alternative narrative of the conquest of the Incas, Gonzalo Lamana both examines and shifts away from the colonial imprint that still permeates most accounts of the conquest. Lamana focuses on a key moment of transition: the years that bridged the first contact between Spanish conquistadores and Andean peoples in 1531 and the moment, around 1550, when a functioning colonial regime emerged. Using published accounts and array of archival sources, he focuses on questions of subalternization, meaning making, copying, and exotization, which proved crucial to both the Spaniards and the Incas. On the one hand, he re-inserts different epistemologies into the conquest narrative, making central to the plot often-dismissed, discrepant stories such as books that were expected to talk and year-long attacks that could only be launched under a full moon. On the other hand, he questions the dominant image of a clear distinction between Inca and Spaniard, showing instead that on the battlefield as much as in everyday arenas such as conversion, market exchanges, politics, and land tenure, the parties blurred into each other in repeated instances of mimicry. Lamana’s redefinition of the order of things reveals that, contrary to the conquerors’ accounts, what the Spanairds achieved was a “domination without dominance.” This conclusion undermines common ideas of Spanish (and Western) superiority. It shows that casting order as a by-product of military action rests on a pervasive fallacy: the translation of military superiority into cultural superiority. In constant dialogue with critical thinking from different disciplines and traditions, Lamana illuminates how this new interpretation of the conquest of the Incas revises current understandings of Western colonialism and the emergence of still-current global configurations.

Book excerpt: "At the renowned Black Trumpet restaurant, located in the historic seacoast city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Chef Evan Mallett and his staff reflect the constantly changing seasons of New England, celebrating the unique flavors and traditions of fished, farmed, and foraged foods in their ever-changing menus that rotate roughly every six weeks throughout the course of the year. From deep winter's comfort dishes to the first run of maple syrup during Mud Season; from the first flush of greens in early spring to the embarrassment of high summer's bounty and fall's final harvest Evan Mallett offers more than 250 innovative recipes that draw not only on classic regional foodways, but on the author's personal experiences with Mexican, Mediterranean, and other classic world cuisines."--

Download or read book The Nocturnal Trumpet written by Michael Pezzano and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Nocturnal Trumpet" is comprised of fourteen short stories in the horror/fantasy genre. In "Spirits of Evil Past," you have the wax representations of four notorious historical figures who assume human form after being entered by their original spirits. The emotionally disturbed protagonist in "Flames" commits multiple acts of arson at the behest of a netherworld fire demon. A commercially successful pulp writer becomes the target of his most popular literary character in "The Vengeance of Silverhawk." "The Dark Heart of Fear" is an unconventional haunted house story in that the house is not haunted by ghosts but by its own sinister will and its need for human fear. "Written in Stone" can almost be described as a dark fairy tale, as a lonely twelve-year-old girl becomes psychically linked with the gargoyles that sit at the top of her church. "Blood Oath" is populated by two rival nocturnal motorcycle gangs who are far more than they seem. These stories and the eight others come from a shadowy world where anything can happenand usually does. They should make the reader the least bit uneasy; they should make them stop, wonder, and look back over their shoulder, for it's the imagined terrors that are the most terrible and the hardest to dispel.
