Download or read book Prognostication in the Medieval World written by Matthias Heiduk and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 1039 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two opposing views of the future in the Middle Ages dominate recent historical scholarship. According to one opinion, medieval societies were expecting the near end of the world and therefore had no concept of the future. According to the other opinion, the expectation of the near end created a drive to change the world for the better and thus for innovation. Close inspection of the history of prognostication reveals the continuous attempts and multifold methods to recognize and interpret God’s will, the prodigies of nature, and the patterns of time. That proves, on the one hand, the constant human uncertainty facing the contingencies of the future. On the other hand, it demonstrates the firm believe during the Middle Ages in a future which could be shaped and even manipulated. The handbook provides the first overview of current historical research on medieval prognostication. It considers the entangled influences and transmissions between Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and non-monotheistic societies during the period from a wide range of perspectives. An international team of 63 renowned authors from about a dozen different academic disciplines contributed to this comprehensive overview.

Book excerpt: This book offers a radical reinterpretation of the Slavic pagan religion made on the basis of a thorough re-examination of all reliable sources. What did Slavic pagan religion have in common with the Afro-American cult of voodoo? Why were no Slavic gods mentioned before the mid-tenth century, and why were there no Slavic gods at all between the Dnieper and the Order? Why were Slavic foundation legends similar to the totemic myths of the nomadic peoples of the Eurasian Steppe, and who were Slavic Remus and Romulus? What were the Indo-European roots of Slavic hippomantic rituals, and where was the Eastern Slavic dragon Zmey Gorynych born? Answers to these and many other provocative questions can be found in this book.

Download or read book Indigenous Psychology of Spirituality written by Alvin Dueck and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents cutting-edge research and theory in the emerging field of the indigenous psychology of religion. Its authors examine the influence of colonization and illustrate the use of novel research methodologies utilised in studies with communities in India, Korea, China, Indonesia, America, and Poland. Whereas Western psychology has traditionally viewed religion through an institutional lens and from a Euro-American perspective, this book aims to facilitate an understanding of indigenous spiritualities on their own terms and from the indigenous people’s lived experience. In doing so, the contributors seek to support indigenous communities in the recovery of their voice, original vision, and ancient practices, and to follow their yearning as echoed in T. S. Eliot’s words: “In my beginning is my end.” The book is replete with examples of this recovery of indigeneity in, for example, Chinese notions of harmony and resilience; cultural differences in hearing the voice of the divine; the influence of animism on Christians in Korea; and in savoring the bereavement of loved ones. This novel collection presents fresh insights for students and scholars of the psychology of religion, indigenous studies, cultural psychology, and anthropology.

Download or read book The Velestino Hoard written by Florin Curta and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the remarkable Velestino hoard, found in Thessaly in the 1920s, and analyses the light that this collection of artifacts sheds on a poorly studied period of Byzantine history, and on largely neglected aspects of Byzantine civilization. Many collections of Byzantine gold- and silverware, such as Vrap and Seuso, have been surrounded by controversy. None, however, has been under more suspicion than the Velestino hoard, particularly with regards to its authenticity. The hoard contains no gold and no silver, and is in fact a collection of bronze and leaden plaques, some with human, and others with animal or geometric representations. The authors examine three distinct aspects of the hoard: the iconography of its components, the method of its production, and the function of those components. The conclusions that they reached provide valuable new insights into eighth-century Byzantine culture. The book explores the Byzantine cultural and political context of the Velestino hoard and will appeal to historians and art historians of early Byzantium, as well as archaeologists and historians of early medieval technologies.

Download or read book The Expansion of Central Europe in the Middle Ages written by Nora Berend and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a set of key studies on the history of medieval Central Europe (Bohemia, Hungary, Poland), along with others specially commissioned for the book or translated, and a new introduction. This region was both an area of immigration, and one of polities in expansion. Such expansion included the settlement and exploitation of previously empty lands as well as rulers' attempts to incorporate new territories under their rule, although these attempts did not always succeed. Often, German immigration has been prioritized in scholarship, and the medieval expansion of Central Europe has been equated with the expansion of Germans. Debates then focused on the positive or negative contribution of Germans to local life, and the consequences of their settlement. This perspective, however, distorts our understanding of medieval processes. On the one hand, Central Europe was not a passive recipient of immigrants. Local rulers and eventually nobles benefited from and encouraged immigration; they played an active role. On the other hand, German immigration was not a unified movement, and cannot be equated with a drang nach osten. Finally, not just Germans, but also various Romance-speaking and other immigrant groups settled in Central Europe. This volume, therefore, seeks to present a more complex picture of medieval expansion in Central Europe.

Download or read book Slavic Witches and Social Media written by Marta R. Jabłońska and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slavic Witches and Social Media examines the role of social media in the spiritual practices of modern Slavic witches and draws a comparative analysis between contemporary neopaganism and Catholicism in Poland. This volume presents a fresh and comprehensive examination of Slavic witches within the context of the growing popularity of neopagan religions and the integration of social media in religious practices. It delves into contemporary witchcraft in Poland, including the prominent Wicca tradition, native Slavic beliefs with their diverse pantheon of deities, extensive demonology, and profound respect for nature, as well as individual, eclectic paths. Through a digital religion study, this book investigates how neopagans and Catholics incorporate social media into their spiritual journeys. Its vivid portrait of a Slavic witch provides a deeper understanding of their beliefs, practices, and engagement with social media platforms. This book is dedicated to scholars in the field of religious sociology, digital religion, and ethnography with a deep fascination for exploring folk magic and Slavic traditions and their adaptation to the emerging digital landscape. It is an insightful resource for researchers in theology, communication, and new media, as well as for all researchers and individuals who share an interest in the captivating realm of contemporary witches and witchcraft.

Book excerpt: "Od ponad tysiąca lat chrześcijaństwo obecne jest na ziemiach polskich. Błyskawicznie (bo pod przymusem) wyparło ono dawne, słowiańskie wierzenia, lecz przyznać trzeba, że ich przejawy miały miejsce jeszcze kilkaset lat po śmierci Mieszka I. I właściwie można doszukiwać się ich nawet współcześnie w rozmaitych, ludowych tradycjach czy języku. Mieszko I uznał, że religia chrześcijańska i wszystko, co się z nią wiąże (a więc akceptacja w oczach zachodu i napływ wykształconego duchowieństwa) pomogą mu zjednoczyć i utrzymać młode państwo w całości. Doskonale zdawał sobie też sprawę z oporu, jaki decyzja o chrzcie wywoła wśród ludności. Siłą rzeczy słowiańskie wierzenia były okrutnie tępione, co sprawiło, że zostały w dużej części zapomniane. Teraz przyszedł czas, by je odkurzyć i przypomnieć Czytelnikom. Mitologia Słowian pełna jest opowieści o bóstwach, demonach i herosach. Dzięki książce Jakuba Bobrowskiego i Mateusza Wrony możemy przenieść się w świat pradawnych wierzeń i legend. To bowiem zbiór fabularyzowanych opowieści, które mogą stanowić niezwykłą gratkę nie tylko dla wielbicieli słowiańskiej mitologii, ale i dla fanów fantastyki czy gier komputerowych. Książka powstała w oparciu o wyniki najnowszych badań naukowych, a także opracowania historyczne i religioznawcze. Unika jednak napuszonego, przeintelektualizowanego języka. Historie o bogach i bohaterach przedstawia w sposób jasny i klarowny, a także poruszający wyobraźnię. Wszystko to jednak w pełnej zgodzie z nauką. Jakub Bobrowski i Mateusz Wrona stworzyli dzieło wyjątkowe. Różni się ono znacznie pod względem formy od dotychczasowych opracowań tego typu. Przyjazny język i lekkość narracji to najważniejsze cechy książki. Dzięki niej słowiańskie mity, wierzenia czy nawet demonologia nie będą już stanowić dla nas żadnej tajemnicy." -- taniaksiazka.pl.

Download or read book Tourism and Socio-Economic Transformation of Rural Areas written by Joanna Kosmaczewska and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to fill a gap in the current literature by tracing the rural transformation process and the development of rural tourism functions in Poland over the last 30 years. It examines the socioeconomic transformation between 1989 and 2019 that resulted in the formation and development of Polish rural tourism and the various practices associated with it. This timely topic is addressed in a central and eastern European context and sparks interest in further in-depth analysis due the diversity and magnitude of the transformation processes undertaken by the Polish rural areas. Since Polish rural areas constitute as much as 30% of the total rural areas in all new European Union member states, this book adds value through an in-depth statistical analysis of the pace of socioeconomic changes in Polish rural areas. It delves into the creation and consumption of tourism services locally, as well as the impact of global trends on the development of rural tourism in Poland. This book will be of interest to economists, sociologists, political scientists and postgraduate students across eastern and central Europe who deal with rural tourism issues.
