Heaven's Door
Author: Cassandra Morphy
Publisher: Crowbarland Books
ISBN: 1005386390
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
Maya San Lucas had been lost in her dreamworld for the better part of five years. Desparia was just a fantasy world for her to explore during stretches of boredom at school and at home. Going to that world let her have adventures, exploring secret locations, and searching through towns and cities for loot to come away with. The life of a thief was so much more exciting than high school, especially with no friends to speak of. After escaping the hell of Hell, Maya and her friends had returned to the depths of the emperor's stronghold. Some were emboldened by what they had seen, more determined than ever to see the emperor deposed. But Maya had brought her own demons with her on her return to Desparia. As her demons stalked her, Maya's newfound magic grows stronger, making her more dependent than ever on her friends by her side. And with more doors behind them than in front of them, the group pushed on to their destination, even as they experience some of their worse losses yet. Jared didn't understand what was happening to him. He was too young to know the power seated deep within him, destroying whole towns around him. But when he meets Celestia and her fae people, he learns that he is a mage, and starts to come to terms with what that meant. As he sets out on his journey to rid the world of evil, he starts seeing his own magic as part of the problem. One that he was determined to rid the world of. The only problem was, how to do that without hunting down and killing every mage that ever lived.

Under Heaven's Brow
Author: Ward Hunt Goodenough
Publisher: American Philosophical Society
ISBN: 9780871692467
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
For the people of Chuuk and for students of religion and Micronesian culture, this book pulls together and makes available in English the somewhat scattered published accounts (largely in German), along with Goodenough's own (as yet unpublished) information about religious beliefs and ritual practices in pre-Christian Chuuk. The materials are presented in a way that seeks to document and illustrate a particular approach, a functional one, to understanding the kinds of human concerns that give rise to religious behavior. Simply to describe traditional beliefs and rituals without the relevant social background information leaves the reader without any feeling for what were the emotional concerns, engendered by life in Chuukese society, that ritual practices helped people address. Ward Goodenough offers a theoretical introduction, the necessary background information about Chuuk and the ways in which members of Chuukese society experienced themselves and their fellows, the world view and overall set of beliefs providing the intellectual framework within which ritual practices were formulated and understood, and the various bodies of ritual practices. He concludes the book with a summary that pulls together how the rituals described appear to related to the emotional concerns that growing up and living in Chuuk tended to create.
