Book excerpt: "Rock paintings of the rainbow serpent in Australia date back more than 6,000 years and the legend has been passed down orally for even longer. The Aboriginal dreaming about this mystical being with a kangaroo head and crocodile tail is the personification of fertility and abundance. Its significance to the culture of indigenous Australians is priceless. Whether or not it ever existed is unimportant as the riches come from the lessons the rainbow serpent teaches about life, death, survival, and love. Interest in mythology has exploded over the years and we now realize that many ancient legends have in fact assisted the human race in understanding the complex world we live in, even if they have been embellished over the years. Myths and Legends brings together the principal mythologies, legends, and folklore of ancient and modern cultures and explores the relationship that they have with their people and with the major religions of the world. This comprehensive study on the myths and legends of the world can be told as bedtime stories or enjoyed as extracurricular reading for those who love history. Myths and Legends is a lovely book full of tales passed down from generations from all over the world." -- Publisher's website.

Book Synopsis Original Teachings by : Crosslin Fields Smith
Download or read book Original Teachings written by Crosslin Fields Smith and published by . This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this book relate to the unwritten bylaws of the traditional Cherokee people known as the Keetoowah Society. They were previously unwritten because Keetoowah people kept the bylaws in their heads and continually lived them. Each day, in all that they did, they kept the bylaws alive. The Creator gave these Original Teachings to all people. Racism has no place in them. What I am relating in this book is intended for all humanity. The reason for writing this book is that I am troubled by the corruption and erosion of respect for humankind and the Earth in the various organizations and institutions of this world. One could easily point out these maladies in many of the political systems throughout the globe, as well as the world's major religious organizations. Such maladies even exist within our Native American communities, at ceremonial grounds or in Indian churches. In this book, I offer the Original Teachings of Keetoowah to move us all to end conflict with one another, leaving no one out. In ancient times, God told all people that even if there are just three who still follow his Original Instructions, they will be able to help those who have lost sight of them.Today, it's hard to find three good people in any organization in this world. In the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah someone asked whether God would spare their city if they could find thirty good people. God answered, saying: Find ten good people and you'll be spared.To me, this story shows that the Creator walked among people, and He still does. He knew that those who retained and lived his Original Teachings were few. Looking at our original spiritual beliefs and practices, I can see that Keetoowah people are among these few; we never became indifferent to those teachings.This book builds upon my first book, Stand as One, to expand on the concepts there and to offer new insights from Keetoowah Cherokee teachings. I hope it can show how enacting these teachings might restore goodness and hope in the world.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Native American Mythology by : Dawn Bastian Williams
Download or read book Handbook of Native American Mythology written by Dawn Bastian Williams and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-11-22 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular Hopi kachina dolls and awesome totem poles are but two of the aspects of the sophisticated, seldom-examined network of mythologies explored in this fascinating volume. This revealing work introduces readers to the mythologies of Native Americans from the United States to the Arctic Circle—a rich, complex, and diverse body of lore, which remains less widely known than mythologies of other peoples and places. In thematic chapters and encyclopedia-style entries, Handbook of Native American Mythology examines the characters and deities, rituals, sacred locations and objects, concepts, and stories that define and distinguish mythological cultures of various indigenous peoples. By tracing the traditions as far back as possible and following their evolution from generation to generation, Handbook of Native American Mythology offers a unique perspective on Native American history, culture, and values. It also shows how central these traditions are to contemporary Native American life, including the continuing struggle for land rights, economic parity, and repatriation of cultural property.
