Ancient magic in greece and rome: a hands-on guide - philip matyszak

Bestselling author Philip Matyszak explores how the Greeks and Romans used magic, who performed it – and why. Magic was everywhere in the ancient world. The supernatural abounded, turning flowers into fruit and caterpillars into butterflies. Magic packed a cloud of water vapour with energy enough to destroy a house with one well-aimed thunderbolt. It was everyday magic, but it was still magical. Philip Matyszak takes readers into that world. He shows us how to make a love potion or cast a curse, how to talk to the dead and how to identify and protect oneself from evil spirits. He takes us to a world where gods, like humans, were creatures of space and time; where people could not just talk to spirits and deities, but could even themselves become divine; and where divine beings could fall from – or be promoted to – full godhood. Ancient Magic offers us a new way of understanding the role of magic, looking at its history in all of its classical forms. Drawing on a wide array of sources, from Greek dramas to curse tablets, lavishly illustrated throughout, and packed with information, surprises, lore and learning, this book offers an engaging and accessible way into the supernatural for all.

Kniha pojednává o dávných národech, jež, ačkoli jsou převážně zapomenuty, nás ovlivňují i dnes. Nebo jde o národy, o kterých si pamatujeme jediný fakt, zatímco vše ostatní se vytratilo. Co víme o Baktrech kromě toho, že měli dvouhrbé velbloudy? Nebo o Samaritánech mimo to, že jeden z nich byl milosrdný? Zmizelých národů existuje mnoho, kniha se proto zaměřuje na jednu část starověkého světa. Vykresluje obrázek multikulturní masy lidí, která obývala starověký Střední východ, Středomoří a části Evropy. Smyslem knihy, která poznatky o vybraných tajemných národech shromažďuje na jednom místě, je připomenout si, že civilizace je kolektivním projektem lidstva. Náš moderní svět neutvářely jen „velké“ civilizace. Každému národu je věnována samostatná kapitola. Obsahuje stručnou charakteristiku a schematickou mapku území, na kterém žili nebo které patřilo do jejich sféry vlivu. Dále následuje popis rozkvětu i úpadku této civilizace, věnuje se jejich vládcům i hodnotám, na nichž byly založeny. Kniha mapuje také způsob obživy obyvatel, pokroky ve stavebnictví, v obchodu, interakce s okolními národy i vojenské výboje. Text doplňují ilustrace nebo fotografie, pokud se tato svědectví zachovala. Jde například o stavby, pozůstatky dávných měst, sošky, šperky nebo i texty, které se dochovaly tisíce let. Konec kapitoly nabízí různé zajímavosti, jak se ten či onen národ propojen se současností, například v Bibli, bájích a pověstech, jazyce, kultuře, architektuře, právním systému, válečnictví, ale i třeba v kynologii... Psi kmenů Dalmatů cvičené na ochranu a hlídání stád jsou pravděpodobně vzdálenými předky plemene, které dnes odvozuje svůj název od tohoto kmene – dalmatini. Na stránkách publikace se také dočtete, že špatná nebo dobrá pověst některých národů není často založena na racionálních základech a všechno je malinko složitější. Pokud ale rozpletete klubíčko historie, porozumíte lépe nejen minulosti, ale i současnosti. S mnohými jmény i událostmi popisovanými v knize se navíc běžně setkáváme v učebnicích, literatuře i běžné mluvě. V knize se například dozvíte odpovědi na otázky: Kdo byli Filištínové? Proč se novomanželky přenášejí přes práh domu? Proč Židé nemluvili se Samaritány? Kdo byl král Midas a komu se podařilo rozvázat slavný gordický uzel? Jak se nazývalo deset ztracených kmenů Izraele? Byli Vandalové opravdu vandaly? Ovládali Médové magii? Co znamená Pyrrhovo vítězství? A jak toto rčení vlastně vzniklo? (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The essential illustrated guide to the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece and Rome, vividly retelling their stories and exploring their origins. Who were the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece and Rome? What did they mean to the people who worshipped them? Although their time of widespread worship has long passed, the Greek and Roman gods have fascinated and inspired writers and artists for millennia. From Aphrodite to Apollo, Poseidon to Zeus, these are some of the most recognizable characters in Western culture, yet there is a much richer past behind famous paintings of the birth of Aphrodite or the bold iconography of Zeus and his thunderbolts.The Greek and Roman gods are enthralling characters in the enduringly powerful Iliad, Odyssey and Metamorphoses. They are immortal and powerful yet also vain, vindictive and vulnerable. Moreover, as manifestations of death, fertility, love and war, the gods are also our key to understanding how the Greeks and Romans saw their world.Philip Matyszak presents this pantheon in all their complexity, guiding us from Mount Olympus to the depths of Hades. Each chapter focuses on an individual god or goddess, beginning with their 'biography' as understood by the Greeks and Romans and exploring the origins of the legends. Matyszak mixes history with vivid retellings of the myths in which the gods have a starring role, from stories of cosmic creation and universal war to disastrous weddings and freak discus accidents.This sumptuously illustrated guide to the gods of Greece and Rome is a must-have for anyone interested in mythology and classical civilization.

From gods, heroes, and monsters to Druids, sorcerers, and talking animals, The Celtic Myths explores every aspect of Irish and Welsh myths in this appealing and authoritative guide. Besides vividly retelling the tales, Miranda Aldhouse-Green brings her expertise in the archaeology of the Iron Age and particularly shamanism to bear on the mythical world she describes, with evidence as diverse as the Gundestrup Cauldron and the famous bog bodies. Starting with a discussion of how myths are transmitted and by whom, Aldhouse-Green continues with an account of Irish and Welsh myths, their key actors and motifs, and themes such as heroes, animals, women, environment, and the Otherworld. The book concludes with a look at the influence of monastic chroniclers on the tales, which they preserved and adapted. Boxed features, quotes from primary texts and contemporary sources, two-color illustrations, photographs, and drawings all come together to create a comprehensive guide for anyone interested in Celtic history or the history of myth as well as anyone who simply loves a good story.

The essential guide to the world of Aztec mythology, based on Nahuatl-language sources that challenge the colonial history passed down to us by the Spanish. How did the jaguar get his spots? What happened to the four suns that came before our own? Where was Aztlan, mythical homeland of the Aztecs? For decades, the popular image of the Mexica people - better known today as the Aztecs - has been defined by the Spaniards who conquered them. Their salacious stories of pet snakes, human sacrifice and towering skull racks have masked a complex world of religious belief. To reveal the rich mythic tapestry of the Aztecs, Camilla Townsend returns to the original tales, told at the fireside by generations of Indigenous Nahuatl-speakers. Through their voices we learn the contested histories of the Mexica and their neighbours in the Valley of Mexico - the foundations of great cities, the making and breaking of political alliances, the meddling of sometimes bloodthirsty gods - and understand more clearly how they saw their world and their place in it. The divine principle of Ipalnemoani connected humans with all of nature and spiritual beliefs were woven through the fabric of Aztec life, from the sacred ministrations of the ticitl, midwives whose rituals saw women through childbirth, to the inevitable passage to Mictlan, 'our place of disappearing together' - the land of the dead.

Tato kniha se pokouší o kritickou interpretaci dějin Izraele. Nejde o interpretaci harmonizující, která by přijímala jako fakt obraz předkládaný texty, ani o výklad podporující biblické zprávy archeologickými a epigrafickými daty. Místo toho nabízí čtenáři celou škálu možností, jak rozumět biblickým vyprávěním na historické a teologické úrovni. Opírá se o nejnovější objevy z izraelských vykopávek a předkládá nové hypotézy a rekonstrukce založené na interdisciplinárním dialogu mezi biblistikou, archeologií a historií. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A cutting-edge new vision of biology that proposes to revise our concept of what life is – from Science Book Prize winner and former Nature editor Philip Ball.Biology is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Several aspects of the standard picture of how life works have been exposed as incomplete, misleading, or wrong.In How Life Works, Philip Ball explores the new biology, revealing life to be a far richer, more ingenious affair than we had guessed. With this knowledge come new possibilities. Today we can redesign and reconfigure living systems, tissues, and organisms. We can reprogram cells, for instance, to carry out new tasks and grow into structures not seen in the natural world. Some researchers believe that ultimately we will be able to regenerate limbs and organs, and perhaps even create new life forms that evolution has never imagined.Incorporating the latest research and insights, How Life Works is a sweeping journey into this new frontier of the nature of life, a realm that will reshape our understanding of life as we know it.

A sweeping new history of the city of Rome, told through its emperors and the monuments they built to make their mark on one of the great capitals of the classical world. ‘What is worse than Nero? What is better than Nero’s Baths?’ – so wrote the poet Martial in the first century AD, demonstrating the power that buildings have on public consciousness. In ancient Rome, who built a monument and why mattered as much as its physical structure. Over centuries and under many different emperors, a small village in Italy was transformed into the crowning glory of an empire. Seeking out the personalities behind the great building projects is key to understanding them. With this firmly in mind, Paul Roberts takes the reader on a tour of ancient Rome, vividly evoking the sights and sounds of the city: from the roar of the crowds at the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum, to the dazzling gleam of the marble- and mosaic-covered baths of Caracalla and Diocletian. He tells this story emperor by emperor, drawing out the political, social and cultural backdrop to the monuments and ultimately the very human motivations that gave rise to their construction – and destruction. These fascinating buildings are further brought to life with reconstructions that show how the ancients themselves would have experienced them. When and why were these monuments built? What did they add to the lives of the people who used them? What impact did they have on the shape of the city? Roberts expertly weaves together the latest archaeological research with social and cultural history, to tell the story of the Eternal City, always in some way rising, falling and being rebuilt.

Kniha - autor Barbara Ann Brennan, 320 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná With the clarity of a physicist and the compassion of a gifted healer with fifteen years of professional experience observing 5,000 clients and students, Barbara Ann Brennan presents the first in-depth study of the human energy field for people who seek happiness, health and their full potential. Our physical bodies exist within a larger "body," a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experience of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves. This energy body -- only recently verified by scientists, but long known to healers and mystics -- is the starting point of all illness. Here, our most powerful and profound human interactions take place, the precursor and healer of all physiological and emotional disturbances. "Hands of Light is your guide to a new wholeness. It...

A landmark study of ancient Greek and Roman cults, from the nocturnal mysteries at Eleusis to the cults of Dionysus and Mithras. Mystery cults are one of the most intriguing areas of Greek and Roman religion. In the nocturnal mysteries at Eleusis, participants dramatically re-enacted the story of Demeter's loss and recovery of her daughter Persephone; in Bacchic cult, bands of women ran wild in the Greek countryside to honour Dionysus; in the mysteries of Mithras, men came to understand the nature of the universe and their place within it through frightening initiation ceremonies and astrological teachings. These cults were an important part of life in the ancient Mediterranean world, but their actual practices were shrouded in secrecy, and much of what they were about has remained unclear until now. This is the first book to describe and explain all the major mystery cults of the ancient world, cult by cult, reconstructing the rituals and exploring their origins. It makes plentiful use of artistic and archaeological evidence, as well as ancient literature and epigraphy. Greek painted pottery, Roman frescoes, inscribed gold tablets from Greek and South Italian tombs and the excavated sites of ancient religious sanctuaries all contribute to our understanding of ancient mystery cults. Making use of the most recent work on these cults, the book is also informed by crucial current work on the anthropology and cognitive science of religion. Not only is this clearly written book a significant contribution to the study of these cults, but it is also accessible to a general readership. More than any other book on ancient religion, it allows the reader to understand what it was like to participate in these life-transforming religious events. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
