Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fantasy story about a girl heroine and their two friends, who, thanks to a mysterious patron, open the door to the world of magic. A thrilling story full of fantastic animals and creatures. The book is a bit like Harry Potter's stories, but with a less horror undertone. Eleven-year-old Hana lives in a Cozy House. Like the smiling nine-year-old Christian and the confident thirteen-year-old Raffi. They live side by side and help each other. Fate will soon prepare them for many unexpected surprises and get them into a whirlwind of adventure. On the Island of Choice, they find that they have a seventh sense and begin studying in Santarena. They find themselves in a world they never dreamed of recently. The mysterious Vron helps them and our shamrock still has something to think about. Each of them is a personality and all of them together are a perfect group, united by friendship, a strong sense of justice and an effort to understand other worlds.

Book excerpt: Just as surely as Haiti is "possessed" by the gods and spirits of vaudun (voodoo), the island "possessed" Katherine Dunham when she first went there in 1936 to study dance and ritual. In this book, Dunham reveals how her anthropological research, her work in dance, and her fascination for the people and cults of Haiti worked their spell, catapulting her into experiences that she was often lucky to survive. Here Dunham tells how the island came to be possessed by the demons of voodoo and other cults imported from various parts of Africa, as well as by the deep class divisions, particularly between blacks and mulattos, and the political hatred still very much in evidence today. Full of the flare and suspense of immersion in a strange and enchanting culture, Island Possessed is also a pioneering work in the anthropology of dance and a fascinating document on Haitian politics and voodoo.

Book excerpt: The ancient Mysteries have long attracted the interest of scholars, an interest that goes back at least to the time of the Reformation. After a period of interest around the turn of the twentieth century, recent decades have seen an important study of Walter Burkert (1987). Yet his thematic approach makes it hard to see how the actual initiation into the Mysteries took place. To do precisely that is the aim of this book. It gives a ‘thick description’ of the major Mysteries, not only of the famous Eleusinian Mysteries, but also those located at the interface of Greece and Anatolia: the Mysteries of Samothrace, Imbros and Lemnos as well as those of the Corybants. It then proceeds to look at the Orphic-Bacchic Mysteries, which have become increasingly better understood due to the many discoveries of new texts in the recent times. Having looked at classical Greece we move on to the Roman Empire, where we study not only the lesser Mysteries, which we know especially from Pausanias, but also the new ones of Isis and Mithras. We conclude our book with a discussion of the possible influence of the Mysteries on emerging Christianity. Its detailed references and up-to-date bibliography will make this book indispensable for any scholar interested in the Mysteries and ancient religion, but also for those scholars who work on initiation or esoteric rituals, which were often inspired by the ancient Mysteries.
