At Cape Comorin in Tamil Nadu, a young couple, Adina Immaculate and Joseph, are put into an unforeseen consequence along with their Australian friends Alyssa and Brandon. They are supposed to make a decision for their survival, which may go against the fundamentals. Meanwhile, at Amboori in Kerala, a tribal group called ‘Kanikars’ with a mysterious history behind them is anticipating their new chieftain known as ‘Moothakani’, where there is a rift between two contenders, Marthandan and Kaliyan. Despite this, they must conduct Sasthan pooja alongside their church’s carnival to get rid of the mystery behind an ancient rock called ‘Dravyapara’ in their village, which hasn't been performed for nineteen years. What is the mystery behind it? Do the festivals happen? How does the couple solve their problem? Who is the new Moothakani of the tribes? and finally, Who are “The Chosen Goddesses”?
Scholar Leeming offers the first comprehensive narrative study of the mythology of the Middle East, that tumultuous region that was the cradle of civilization. Leeming begins with a brief history, followed by an in-depth discussion of the mythology of the region, ranging from prehistoric figures such as the mother goddess of Catal Huyuk to Mesopotamian gods such as Marduk and mythic heroes such as Gilgamesh, to the pantheon of Egyptian mythology. He also explores the mythology of the three great monotheistic religions of the region: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In a provocative epilogue, Leeming notes that fundamentalists in the area's three religions today all see their way as the only way, forgetting that myths represent truths that are spiritual and philosophical, not historical events that can be used to justify acts of violence.--From publisher description.
From NYT bestselling author Thea Harrison comes the explosive conclusion to The Unseen! When Dragos and Pia move to the Other land of Rhyacia, they hope starting a new life will bring safety and freedom to their family, especially their young baby, Niall. And at first their new home seems perfect… but looks are deceiving. Beneath Rhyacia’s idyllic façade an ancient, malevolent force lurks, waiting for the right opportunity to break free of its cage. When that opportunity comes, it strikes with devastating accuracy. While Dragos has never backed down from a fight, he’s also never encountered an enemy like this one before. How can he fight a foe who doesn’t have a body? A foe who can invade and turn his own mind against him? How can Dragos protect his family, when at any moment one of them may become the enemy? As Dragos and Pia race against time to fight this unseen menace, they must also acknowledge a terrifying truth—when anyone can become the enemy, no one can be trusted. An adversary who can trap the dragon poses a threat to everyone in Rhyacia, and that means no one is safe… ***This book does NOT end on a cliffhanger***

A cultural history of the goddess of love, from a New York Times bestselling and award-winning historian. Aphrodite was said to have been born from the sea, rising out of a froth of white foam. But long before the Ancient Greeks conceived of this voluptuous blonde, she existed as an early spirit of fertility on the shores of Cyprus -- and thousands of years before that, as a ferocious warrior-goddess in the Middle East. Proving that this fabled figure is so much more than an avatar of commercialized romance, historian Bettany Hughes reveals the remarkable lifestory of one of antiquity's most potent myths. Venus and Aphrodite brings together ancient art, mythology, and archaeological revelations to tell the story of human desire. From Mesopotamia to modern-day London, from Botticelli to Beyoncé, Hughes explains why this immortal goddess continues to entrance us today -- and how we trivialize her power at our peril.
Izlana, goddess of creation, is on her first journey to the human world. She thinks the god of war wants to accompany her as a friend—but he betrays her, delivering her to human slavers. These cruel men neutralize her powers with a magical collar, leaving her vulnerable and weak in a strange new world. After being bought by a man who is aware of her powers—and who appears to have sinister plans for her—Izlana seeks help from Marric, a servant who treats her with kindness no others show her in this harsh new world. She’s terrified to realize she’s falling for him, since it’s forbidden for a goddess to love a human. With her feelings just as trapped as she is, she’ll have to learn to live without him, regain her powers, and return home… alone. Except her bond with Marric isn't the only obstacle in her way. In order to return home, Izlana will have to fight her way through the growing war between the humans and the gods. If she fails, more than just her heart is at stake…both the heavens and the earth will crumble.

"The scholarship in this book is superior, revealing a depth of insight and a scope of knowledge possible only from a scholar who has lived with the concerns of feminist theology for decades. Ruether is a gifted storyteller, and lucidly translates complex ideas and debates. This work is of the highest importance, and Ruether asks the right questions at the right time. The text is groundbreaking."—Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Saint Mary's College of California "Ruether has provided a valuable introduction to an important feminist topic: what can we know about sacred female imagery in Western culture? She guides us through contemporary feminist scholarship, providing engaging narrative, and venturing her own interpretations. Ruether calls for feminists to move beyond divisions created by our different interpretations of prehistory and work together towards our common project of a more peaceful, just, and ecological world."—Carol Hepokoski, Meadville Lombard Theological School
This collection of accessible essays relates the stories of individual goddesses from around the world, exploring their roles in the cultures from which they came, their histories and status today, and the controversies surrounding them. Goddesses in World Culture brings readers the fascinating stories of close to 100 of the world's goddesses, ranging from the immediately recognizable to the obscure. These figures, many of whom derive from ancient cultures and civilizations, serve as points of departure for examining questions that go well beyond the role of women in religion and spirituality to include social organization, environmental awareness, historical developments, and psychological archetypes. Each volume of this groundbreaking set is composed of 20–25 previously unpublished articles written by expert contributors from diverse disciplines. Volume one covers Asia and Africa, volume two covers the Eastern Mediterranean and Europe, and volume three covers Australia and the Americas. Goddesses from cultures often overlooked in texts on religion, such as those of the Australian Aborigines, Korea, Nepal, and the Caribbean, are included here. In addition, the work offers new translations of ancient texts, introduces little-known folklore, and suggests new approaches to contemporary religious practices.
