This is a compilation from the Sid & Sin series. It contains two novellas as well as novels 4&5. Sett's Salvation, Witching Ways, Mythic Mysteries, and Mystery at the Bard & Board. Sett's Salvation: Sett Fortin’s boss sent her on a working vacation. Do one thing, then enjoy the rest of the two weeks. Sett doesn’t do vacations, or travel. She works. All the time. Supernatural Police Agent Cosette Fortin never stops being a cop. Then she discovered New Orleans – and in her first twenty-four hours, everything changed. A new cousin, a new case, and now she has to learn about vampires. Of course, the local SPD agents don’t take kindly to an interloper – particularly Agent Lucia Landry. Yet, Lucia and Sett find they have more in common than not, and when Sett’s past comes calling, they have to learn to trust in order to survive. Witching Ways: Sid & Sin are learning some life lessons. Sin has discovered that life is a whole lot different when you have a baby. It's even more complex when that baby is showing magical abilities way too early. Sid is finding out how much fun it can be to juggle multiple partners. Fun being the objective, that is. Witches are rising up against the Faery folk. They're blaming the disruptions in their magic on the fae. It's entirely possible they're correct in their blame. Or are they? Something is screwing with the balance of magic in the Belle Cove area and it's causing chaos. The twins have a lot of chaos going on in their own lives right now - will they be able to step up once again? Mythic Mysteries: Belle Cove needs the Mythics in order for the magic to balance. Not everyone is willing to play nice. The last time all four races openly lived with humans, there had been less than a hundred people in the region. Now there were hundreds of thousands. The Supernatural Police need to to step up their game if they're going to keep a semblance of peace in the region and not have every single non-human suddenly exposed to the whole world. This is Sid & Sin's legacy. It's what the prophecy spoke about. Are they ready - and able - to answer the call? Mystery at the Bard & Board: Life as a refugee from Faery is a lot of hard work and study. For Mira, her days are spent between school and her uncle's bar - until the family connections between the small crew are shattered in the worst way. A girl has to be careful who she holds tight to when it all falls apart.
Greek gods, Norse heroes, Polynesian tricksters, and Native American warriors—they all have lessons to teach us. Since the beginning of time, human beings have relied on myths, fairy tales, and fables to explain life’s mysteries. Bringing a fresh perspective to these age-old tales, Liz Greene and Juliet Sharman-Burke reveal how seekers today can find comfort and support in the legends and lore of the past. The Mythic Journey explores the psychological themes of many mythical traditions, recounting stories from Greco-Roman, Hebraic, Egyptian, Celtic, Norse, and various Eastern civilizations. More than 50 myths are beautifully retold, and each is followed by a psychological overview explaining how we can apply the story to our own lives. The Mythic Journey is a handbook for human life, guiding readers from the conflicts of family and childhood, through problems of love, intimacy, and ambition, and ultimately to the point when we must face our own mortality. We discover that true self knowledge comes through facing life’s challenges with courage and strength; that beauty, talent, power, and wealth bring their own forms of suffering; and that in the darkness of loneliness, failure, and loss, we have always discovered new light and new hope.
These 12 eclectic essays explore the topic for which Campbell was best known: myth and its fascinating context within the human imagination in the arts, literature, and culture, as well as in everyday life.
Material Mystery considers three apparently anthropocentric myths that are central to Abrahamic religions—those of the primal human, the incarnated and possibly divine redeemer, and the resurrected body. At first glance, these stories reinforce a human-centered theology and point to a very anthropomorphic God. Taking them seriously seems to ignore the material turn in the humanities entirely, with the same sort of willful ignorance that some of our politicians show in declaring that their myths count as facts, or that the point of the rest of the world is to further human consumption. But it is possible, Karmen MacKendrick shows, to read these figures through a particular tradition that emerges from the Hebrew Bible, the tradition of Wisdom as a creative force. Wisdom texts are common across the ancient Near East. As the idea of creative Wisdom develops from antiquity into the middle ages, it gathers philosophical influences from a range of philosophical traditions. This exuberantly promiscuous impurity—intellectual, artistic, and theological—generates new interpretive possibilities. In these interpretations, each human-like figure opens up onto the world''s matter, as an interdependent part of it, and matter is thoroughly mixed with divinity. Such mythic readings complement our factual, scientific understanding of the material world, to engage wider kinds of knowing and affective attention—particularly Wisdom''s combination of care and delight.
Mythology is the universal tongue of human imagination. As a tool for self-discovery, mythology is also a way of gaining access to the secrets of the psyche. The Mythic Imagination is a quest for the ancient source of vision and meaning in the world of dream, myth, and archetype. In the footsteps of Joseph Campbell, Stephen Larsen guides the reader on a journey through the mythic landscape of the psyche. His insight is that all of us, at one time or another, are engaged in creating personal mythologies that reflect the larger myths of the culture and our own deepest desires and aspirations. This book is a guide for bringing the deeper mythic structures of experience into awareness, for learning to recognize the archetypal content embedded in our dreams and daydreams, feelings, beliefs, relationships, conscious creations, and behavior. Student and authorized biographer of Joseph Campbell, Larsen teaches us how to bring myth into our lives. Reissue of the Bantam bestseller.
This volume explores the whole inner story of modern culture since the Dark Ages, treating modern man's unique position as the creator of his own mythology.
