Download or read book Pagan Holiday written by Tony Perrottet and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-05-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient Romans were responsible for many remarkable achievements—Roman numerals, straight roads—but one of their lesser-known contributions was the creation of the tourist industry. The first people in history to enjoy safe and easy travel, Romans embarked on the original Grand Tour, journeying from the lost city of Troy to the Acropolis, from the Colossus at Rhodes to Egypt, for the obligatory Nile cruise to the very edge of the empire. And, as Tony Perrottet discovers, the popularity of this route has only increased with time. Intrigued by the possibility of re-creating the tour, Perrottet, accompanied by his pregnant girlfriend, sets off to discover life as an ancient Roman. The result is this lively blend of fascinating historical anecdotes and hilarious personal encounters, interspersed with irreverent and often eerily prescient quotes from the ancients—a vivid portrait of the Roman Empire in all its complexity and wonder.

Book Synopsis The Pagan Origins of Christian Holidays by : Elisha J. Israel
Download or read book The Pagan Origins of Christian Holidays written by Elisha J. Israel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this book is to merely present before you the compromise that has occurred between Christianity and paganism. Under the facade of Christianity the duplicitous ancient mystery religious system that began in Babylon continues. This religion is perpetuated through the most powerful religious institution in the world- the Roman Catholic Church. How is this possible? In a strategic effort to appeal to the pagans of Rome the Universal Church simply fused the pagan customs and festivals of sun worshipers with the rites of the one true faith. The Pagan Origins of Christian Holidays is an examination of the holidays that are observed by Christians today. This book reveals a piercing truth; Satan has deceived the whole world.

Book Synopsis Pagan Christmas by : Christian Rätsch
Download or read book Pagan Christmas written by Christian Rätsch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-10-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the sacred botany and the pagan origins and rituals of Christmas • Analyzes the symbolism of the many plants associated with Christmas • Reveals the shamanic rituals that are at the heart of the Christmas celebration The day on which many commemorate the birth of Christ has its origins in pagan rituals that center on tree worship, agriculture, magic, and social exchange. But Christmas is no ordinary folk observance. It is an evolving feast that over the centuries has absorbed elements from cultures all over the world--practices that give plants and plant spirits pride of place. In fact, the symbolic use of plants at Christmas effectively transforms the modern-day living room into a place of shamanic ritual. Christian Rätsch and Claudia Müller-Ebeling show how the ancient meaning of the botanical elements of Christmas provides a unique view of the religion that existed in Europe before the introduction of Christianity. The fir tree was originally revered as the sacred World Tree in northern Europe. When the church was unable to drive the tree cult out of people’s consciousness, it incorporated the fir tree by dedicating it to the Christ child. Father Christmas in his red-and-white suit, who flies through the sky in a sleigh drawn by reindeer, has his mythological roots in the shamanic reindeer-herding tribes of arctic Europe and Siberia. These northern shamans used the hallucinogenic fly agaric mushroom, which is red and white, to make their soul flights to the other world. Apples, which figure heavily in Christmas baking, are symbols of the sun god Apollo, so they find a natural place at winter solstice celebrations of the return of the sun. In fact, the authors contend that the emphasis of Christmas on green plants and the promise of the return of life in the dead of winter is just an adaptation of the pagan winter solstice celebration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what a Christmas tree has to do with the birth of Christ, or, why children decorate eggs in commemoration of Christ's death?

Book Synopsis How Christmas Became Christmas by : Nathaniel Parry
Download or read book How Christmas Became Christmas written by Nathaniel Parry and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-10-27 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In some respects, the contrasts of Christmas are what make it the most delightful time of the year. It is a time of generosity, kindness and peace on earth, with broad permission to indulge in food, drink and gifts. On the other hand, Christmas has become a battleground for raging culture wars, marred by debates about how it should be celebrated and acknowledged as a uniquely Christian holiday. This text argues that much of the animosity is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the holiday's core character. By tracing Christmas's origins as a pagan celebration of the winter solstice and its development in Europe's Christianization, this history explains that the true "reason for the season" has as much to do with the earth's movement around the sun as with the birth of Christ. Chapters chronicle how Christmas's magic and misrule link to the nativity, and why the carnival side of the holiday appears so separated from traditional Christian beliefs.

First and foremost, get to understand what paganism is and what it is not. That is the very first step into understanding paganism because many have preconceived notions about paganism-most especially the thought that paganism is a religion. I'm sorry to shatter your belief, but paganism is NOT a religion. To learn more and know why, read this book! Also included are frequently asked questions about paganism. If you are on the verge of wanting to discover a new faith these questions will help guide you navigate the pagan religions available to you. Next is, you get to learn the various pagan religions in the world-there are a handful. And get to know what each pagan religion believes in and their customary practices. You will be surprised just how different each of these pagan religions are. As different as night is from day. Then you will learn all about the pagan holidays and what it signifies. Although, each pagan religion honors differing holidays, these pagan holidays that I have included in the book are the usual. And each of these holidays have meanings and rituals that are unique to each holiday-as a matter of fact, learn some nuggets of facts about pagan religion which many Christian religions have based their holidays on. And lastly, a paganism book is never complete without samples on rituals. What I have laid out here is the handfasting ritual-which is a marriage ritual the pagan way. There are also spells that I have included. One is a protection spell to help you ward off evil people out to do you harm. So, if you like what you are reading now, you will definitely LOVE the book!
