Book Synopsis The Social Life of Spirits by : Ruy Blanes
Download or read book The Social Life of Spirits written by Ruy Blanes and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirits can be haunters, informants, possessors, and transformers of the living, but more than anything anthropologists have understood them as representations of something else—symbols that articulate facets of human experience in much the same way works of art do. The Social Life of Spirits challenges this notion. By stripping symbolism from the way we think about the spirit world, the contributors of this book uncover a livelier, more diverse environment of entities—with their own histories, motivations, and social interactions—providing a new understanding of spirits not as symbols, but as agents. The contributors tour the spiritual globe—the globe of nonthings—in essays on topics ranging from the Holy Ghost in southern Africa to spirits of the “people of the streets” in Rio de Janeiro to dragons and magic in Britain. Avoiding a reliance on religion and belief systems to explain the significance of spirits, they reimagine spirits in a rich network of social trajectories, ultimately arguing for a new ontological ground upon which to examine the intangible world and its interactions with the tangible one.

Book Synopsis Ainu Spirits Singing by : Sarah M. Strong
Download or read book Ainu Spirits Singing written by Sarah M. Strong and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous peoples throughout the globe are custodians of a unique, priceless, and increasingly imperiled legacy of oral lore. Among them the Ainu, a people native to northeastern Asia, stand out for the exceptional scope and richness of their oral performance traditions. Yet despite this cultural wealth, nothing has appeared in English on the subject in over thirty years. Sarah Strong’s Ainu Spirits Singing breaks this decades-long silence with a nuanced study and English translation of Chiri Yukie’s Ainu Shin’yoshu, the first written transcription of Ainu oral narratives by an ethnic Ainu. The thirteen narratives in Chiri’s collection belong to the genre known as kamui yukar, said to be the most ancient performance form in the vast Ainu repertoire. In it, animals (and sometimes plants or other natural phenomena)—all regarded as spiritual beings (kamui) within the animate Ainu world—assume the role of narrator and tell stories about themselves. The first-person speakers include imposing animals such as the revered orca, the Hokkaido wolf, and Blakiston’s fish owl, as well as the more “humble” Hokkaido brown frog, snowshoe hare, and pearl mussel. Each has its own story and own signature refrain. Strong provides readers with an intimate and perceptive view of this extraordinary text. Along with critical contextual information about traditional Ainu society and its cultural assumptions, she brings forward pertinent information on the geography and natural history of the coastal southwestern Hokkaido region where the stories were originally performed. The result is a rich fusion of knowledge that allows the reader to feel at home within the animistic frame of reference of the narratives. Strong’s study also offers the first extended biography of Chiri Yukie (1903-1922) in English. The story of her life, and her untimely death at age nineteen, makes clear the harsh consequences for Chiri and her fellow Ainu of the Japanese colonization of Hokkaido and the Meiji and Taisho governments’ policies of assimilation. Chiri’s receipt of the narratives in the Horobetsu dialect from her grandmother and aunt (both traditional performers) and the fact that no native speakers of that dialect survive today make her work all the more significant. The book concludes with a full, integral translation of the text.

Download or read book Luminarium written by Bj Swain and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-04 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A streamlined, practice-focused text on conjuration. This is a 0 to 60mph, level up your work, hit the ground running approach to spirit conjuration. The core idea is using magical approaches to facilitate and improve your access to magic. This text combines elements of the Greek Magical Papyri, the Hygromanteia, the Heptameron and Orphism to create a more holistic approach to conjuring angels and aerial spirits. You can use these spirits for either knowledge or practical purposes. The method is easily adapted to demons. With this text you will gain the benefits of traditional ancient magical sources and the ease of contemporary spirit relationship approaches to magic. To prepare you, the text draws on Hoodoo, Catholicism, Buddhism, Greek Orthodoxy, Hinduism, and Zen to build an array of spiritual and magical practices from which to choose so you can simulate the benefits of long term spiritual preparations and development.With Luminarium someone who's never done magic can begin conjuring spirits in under two weeks, maybe just a few days. You probably already have most of the tools you'll need because this magic is based on magic from 1500 years ago, not complicated High Church rituals. Combine that with a hefty exploration of spells drawn on the Psalms, Solomonic Pentacles, Abramelin Squares, and folk magical tools and methods and you have Luminarium. This system has been tested by a handful of magical practitioners and their experiences are included in the text to help you explore it more easily. "Great stuff! I personally appreciate how straightforward and clear it was when it comes to ritual and spell work." - Jonathan Masters"I think it absolutely is fantastic, this is so needed and I think this is going to be really ground breaking, and makes conjurations accessible to a much wider audience." - Anneliese Anthoinette"All I gotta say is.... WOAH. That was powerful. And I am buzzing. Also, some real interesting physical manifestation stuff happened" - Alexander Deckman"I'm really excited for people to read this." - Aequus Nox

Download or read book Life written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on 1901 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are an intelligent living human being, and in order to assure your meaning and success throughout life, you have to know everything about life, everywhere, in all forms and realities. You have to learn everything about nature, society, and organic life, about the true origins of life, about creating life and about the divine, and about your own meaning in life and in the world as an intelligent living human being. While these are not random ideas, but these specific needs for higher knowledge are embedded continuously within your own higher level intelligent needs and meanings, just because this is the case with all intelligent life. But is this important knowledge about life actually available to you and everyone else? Yes or no, since there are many instances to consider. Yet when you are capable to find the necessary knowledge about life, meaning, society, and the world, you are truly capable to live your life at the intelligent human level. While if you cannot find it, you keep on searching, since your own higher level needs and meanings never leave you alone until you learn everything necessary in life and in the world. And so you do, otherwise, you end up living your life on lower developmental levels, addicted, in servitude, or only intuitively, through animal instincts. And it certainly matters, just because you are an intelligent living human being by nature, now forced to live life below your level, unfulfilled and even punished intrinsically for your continuous failure. But where exactly can you find this important knowledge? Who can shine a living light on the accurate truth? Do you still wait for science to do so, when science had already offered you everything that it knows since high school? Throughout this book, we model life in all significant details, as we study everything alive and intelligent, from the smallest cellular components to the entire human body, mind, and spirit, and to all forms of life, because everything is alive and meaningful in the world. If you want to learn more about life in all forms and realities, this book is for you.
