Have you ever wondered if a simple circle of life is your only purpose for the universe? What if death is not the final destination, but a new beginning? Have you ever wondered where does the energy go when your carbon is wasted? The omnipresent element in the universe connecting everything here and beyond is sometimes called: Destiny. We are all bound to her by the same fate: we are born to live, to thrive and to die. Arkkhen found himself caught into the spiderweb of destiny. He received the call he did not ask for. The road was paved for him to answer for the future of his galaxy, his universe and the Underverse. Will he overcome evil and reunite the universes? Will he be able to come back to those he loved and carry the torch of light to the far corners of the multiverse? This is the story of Arkkhen, the phoenix of Medderah, who'll have to break the established laws and lead the revolution that will reshape the known universe. Together with his companions, he will challenge the odds. Join them through the path to ascension. Become a phoenix of Medderah, challenge the Old Gods and Death itself to make your way into eternity.
The author presents with this intellectual biography of the Lutheran alchemist Count Michael Maier an academic study of western esotericism in general and to the study of alchemy and rosicrucianism in particular. The author charts the development of Maier's Hermetic worldview in the context of his service at the courts of Emperor Rudolf II and Moritz of Hessen-Kassel. The problem of the nature of early Rosicrucianism is addressed in detail with reference to Maier's role in the promotion of this "serious jest" in the years immediately prior to the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War. The work is set in the context of ongoing debates concerning the nature of early modern alchemy and its role in the history of Western esotericism.

A study companion to Homer's "Odyssey" containing historical and mythological background; discussion of Homeric values and the plot, themes, and literary features of each of the epic's books; a character index; and suggested activities and classroom projects.
This is the long-awaited work on Homer's Odyssey by one of our foremost teachers and scholars of the classics--John H. Finley, Jr. Already, generations of students at Harvard have benefited from his knowledge and understanding of Homer's words and world. Now his thoughts on the Odyssey are woven together in this remarkable volume. Finley begins by arguing the unity of design in the Odyssey, and shows the connection between the actions of three main characters: Telemachus' maturity brings Penelope to her long-delayed decision for remarriage, which, by producing the bow as marriage-test, gives the unknown Odysseus his means of success against the suitors. Finley also suggests that the poem is a kind of half-divine comedy. About an older man's glad return, it contrasts to the Iliad's story of young man's death far from home. It is a comedy to the Iliad's tragedy and, like Shakespeare's Tempest, it brings the absent king to knowledge which, though initially unwelcome, proves his and others' happiness. Throughout his book, Finley applies a lifetime's learning to a work that is universally recognized as one of the highest achievements of our civilization. At a time when Homer is in danger of being swallowed by specialists, it is important to recognize and uphold the poet's basic concern for life and myth and legend. Such sympathy combined with knowledge is Finley's fine achievement.
When Elissa, a healer's apprentice, becomes a pawn in a battle for a royal's kingdom, her quest for freedom and the truth about her past leads to questions about the future and whether she truly is the key to the prophecy of the Phoenix.
In this thrilling sequel to ‘Down in Flames’, Arien Vlahos must traverse the past and the future to prevent the Fall, the destined end of the world, and hold back rise of Utopia, or all gods and men will be subject to an existence lacking choice or heart. Without aid of friend nor ally, Arien is thwarted at every turn by his craving for Eitr, the primordial blood from which all life arose. If he cannot overcome his desire, the Fall will come and end what it means to be human. The ‘Apocalypse Then’ shall be our fate.
As Shanghai enters the 21st-century, this most dynamic of Chinese cities looks back over a decade of phenomenal growth. It is a focus for foreign investment and futuristic architecture, yet the city's international past is still very much in evidence. In the crowded streets and shopping malls there is an unabashed enthusiasm for consumer-ism and a great capacity to enjoy whatever life has to offer. Syke's pictures range from moments of personal intimacy to industrial projects, and his work achieves a subtle chemistry between photo-journalism and fine art photography. The photographs are accompanied by perceptive captions and a lively chronology of historical events. Homer Sykes travels widely on assignment throughout the world.
