This is a concise and entertaining guide to the complex tradition of Chinese mythology.

Chinese mythology has been passed down in written and oral form over many millennia, emerging from a range of cultural traditions that often have their origins in Daoism and Buddhist religion.

This fascinating collection explores the history, culture, gods, calendar, myths and tales of the Aztec people, the Incas, the Mayans and other Mesoamerican and Central American peoples, from migration legends to the origin myth of the Five Suns. Though the Olmecs (1250-200 BCE) were the first civilization in Mexico, the Aztecs (1325-1521) were Mesoamerica's last dominant indigenous civilization and often the one that is thought about, without understanding the region's rich diversity. Like the other Mesoamerican cultures, Aztec gods and myths reflected a natural philosophy where ideas concerning life and death were linked symbolically to the earth, sky and sea in a grand cosmic scheme.Their religion was dominated by the tribal war god Huitzilopochtli, the rain/fertility god Tlaloc and the supreme deity Tezcatlipoca, the Lord of the Smoking Mirror.

In the West we tend to think of witches in terms of the witch trials, when fear, ignorance and religious fervour brought the poor to heel, and fostered suspicion of those who dared to be different, or knowledgeable, or independent of mind. Witches and wizards are often associated with pre-Christian societies, Celtic in particular, (and therefore popular in tales of fantasy), but the nature of their wisdom can be found in so many fascinating cultures across the world. Ancient societies, particularly where natural religions with many gods abound, often highlight the power of an elder, or a seer, a healer or a wise friend.Tales of wizards and witches reach across traditions as folk try to explain natural phenomena and engage with the world around them. Those who understood the properties of healing in plants, or could make a prediction of weather events to rescue crops, became worshipped as elders, as keepers of knowledge. In tribal African societies, Polynesian cultures and East Asian traditions there are tales of those with great knowledge who are often described as witches or wizards.The Baba Yaga of Eastern Europe, Bokwewa, the humpback magician of the Chippewa, Merlin and Morgana la Faye of Arthurian Legend and ...

Never before has Chinese culture been so physically, digitally, economically or aesthetically present in everyday Western life. But how much do we really know about its origins and key beliefs? How did the ancient Chinese think about the world?In this enlightening book, Roel Sterckx, one of the foremost experts in Chinese thought, takes us through centuries of Chinese history, from Confucius to Daoism to the Legalists.

Few subjects are more common among the world''s mythologies than two fundamental questions: where did we come from, and where might we be going? Over the millennia, these questions have been met with an abundance of answers, from the ancient Greeks'' creation stories of ''Chaos and Nyx'' and ''The Egg Myth'', to the Norse prophecy of ''Ragnarok'' and the eventual regeneration of the world. Tales of origins crop up around the world, offering explanations for where the universe, the world, and humans came from, as well as reasons for natural phenomena and the characteristics of animals and plants. Stories of endings range from apocalyptic global floods to the journey the spirit makes after death. They all flow from a sense of awe, and perhaps a needling existential anxiety, among our ancient ancestors, which the modern reader will likely recognize in themselves. Gathering together a host of stories that answer these two questions, this collection features an abundance of tales from numerous cultures around the world.Organized into the themes of ''Creation of the Gods, the Heavens & the Earth''; ''The Human World Emerges''; ''Unmaking & Remaking the World''; ''Explaining the Natural World''; and ''Death, the Afterlife & the Underworld'', this collection ...

Existovala vůbec někdy důležitější série hudebních alb než ta, která David Bowie vydal v letech 1970 až 1980? Jejich žánrová rozmanitost je ohromující, od mystického hard rocku a „mimozemského“ glamu po „plastický soul“ či art rock. Bowie vdechl rockové hudbě nový život a často ji posunul do oblastí, o kterých se mu dříve ani nesnilo. Jakkoli bylo zmíněné desetileté období velkolepé, stojí Bowieho kariéra za pozornost už od dob, kdy ve swingujícím Londýně teprve nesměle aspiroval na příští superhvězdu, až po album Blackstar. To lze považovat za nejcennější dárek na rozloučenou, jaký kdy hudebník dal světu. Bowieho odkaz však nezůstává zapsaný jen v dějinách hudby: byl skvělým hercem ve filmu i na jevišti, průkopníkem internetu, milovníkem umění i kulturním fenoménem.
