Lost realms of gold : South American myth
Author: Tony AllanThe Lessons of Nature in Mythology
Author: Rachel S. McCoppinPublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476622159
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
This examination of myths from around the world focuses on the role nature plays within mythology. Creation myths from myriad cultures recognized that life arose from natural elements, inextricably connecting human life to the natural world. Nature as portrayed in myth is unpredictable and destructive but also redemptive, providing solace and wisdom. Mythology relates the human life cycle to the seasons, with spring, summer, fall and winter as metaphors for birth, adulthood, old age and death. The author identifies divinities who were direct representations of natural phenomena. The transition of mythic representations from the Paleolithic to Neolithic period is discussed.
The Hero's Quest and the Cycles of Nature
Author: Rachel S. McCoppinPublisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476625751
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
This examination of the heroic journey in world mythology casts the protagonist as a personification of nature--a "botanical hero" one might say--who begins the quest in a metaphorical seed-like state, then sprouts into a period of verdant strength. But the hero must face a mythic underworld where he or she contends with mortality and sacrifice--embracing death as a part of life. For centuries, humans have sought superiority over nature, yet the botanical hero finds nothing is lost by recognizing that one is merely a part of nature. Instead, a cyclical promise of continuous life is realized, in which no element fully disappears, and the hero's message is not to dwell on death.

Pages : 242
Book Description
"I had been talking with a colleague about the book Proof of Heaven and I said to my friend, 'You don't have to die to go to heaven; we need to tell people so everyone can go!'" --Susan Allison What if we really didn't have to die to go to heaven? What if we could prove to ourselves through direct experience that spirit worlds exist, that there is no death, that we all are immortal, and that our departed loved ones are fine? Dr. Susan Allison shows us how in this breakthrough book. She teaches how to go into shamanic trance and spirit travel to other realms: a lower world of animal helpers, a middle realm of spirit allies, and an upper world of gurus, guides, divine teachers, and loved ones--in essence our soul tribe. By doing so, she shows how we can overcome our fear of death and feel comfort in knowing where our departed loved ones have gone. No one needs to wait to have a near-death experience before visiting a level of heaven; everyone can go now, meet with spirit allies, guides, and teachers and transform their lives. In her practice, lectures and workshops, and this book, the author is all about teaching people to find their own way into the heavenly realms and find their own wisdom there. You Don't Have to Die to Go to Heaven will appeal to anyone who is curious about the afterlife, rebirth, and the wisdom of the ages.
