This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Seasons, or the Calendar of Nature The increasing prosperity Of the British nation, and the expansion Of its empire by the new colonies which are issuing from it, and are forming, as they settle and enlarge, new branches of dominion toit in the distant regions of our globe, make its first rudiments and humble beginnings more interest ing to us. TO represent these faithfully, and to collect from the perishing or neglected memorials Of former times every circumstance that could exhibit them, before it became im possible to do so from the disappearance of the ancient docu ments, and from the overwhelming ow Of modern events, revolutions, and diversified knowledge, which have made the last fifty years so memorable, was the favourite Object of the author, when in his youthful days he conceived the idea, and attempted to execute it in the following work. That he should have lived to revise its sixth edition, was more than he expected; for it is now thirty-seven years since he published its first volume. This is pleasing: but it is a still greater gratification to Observe, that so much of the atten tion of the public continues to be directed to the transac tions, remains, and language of their anglo-saxon ancestors, and that so many able men still apply themselves to illustrate this truly national subject by various and valuable publica tions. It was one of his earnest wishes that men of talent and industry should be induced to do so, that what he could not but learn imperfectly on several points might be completed by subsequent research. This has been creditable to themselves, and just to our forefathers; and will now rescue our most important antiquities from future Oblivion.

Download or read book Year of the Witch written by Temperance Alden and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In her much-needed and brilliant Year of the Witch, Temperance Alden guides readers to observe their own land, celestial cycles, seasonal cycles, and even their own biological cycles to inform their magickal year.”-- Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch: A Metaphysical Guide to Meditation, Magick, and Manifestation When we think of the wheel of the year, the Wiccan wheel with its celebrations of the Yule, Beltane, Mabon, and Samhain come to mind. But what about a wheel of the year for the rest of us pagans and witches? As a witch living in sunny South Florida, longtime hereditary witch Temperance Alden has often felt at odds gearing up to celebrate Yule, for example, when it is 76 degrees and sunny outside. Year of the Witch will help readers create their own intuitive practices in harmony with the climate, culture, and local spirits where they live. It’s of interest to witches coming off the Wiccan path and looking for a more personal approach to celebrating the rhythms of nature. Year of the Witch covers all aspects of this new, seasonal practice: The origins of the neo-pagan wheel of the year and why it is still so relevant today Culture, historical facts, and traditions associated with the major ceremonies Basic principles of land-based magick How to intuitively connect to the nature below your feet and the local gods Being a custodian to the land and its impact on our spiritual practice

Book Synopsis Japan and the Culture of the Four Seasons by : Haruo Shirane
Download or read book Japan and the Culture of the Four Seasons written by Haruo Shirane and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elegant representations of nature and the four seasons populate a wide range of Japanese genres and media—from poetry and screen painting to tea ceremonies, flower arrangements, and annual observances. In Japan and the Culture of the Four Seasons, Haruo Shirane shows how, when, and why this practice developed and explicates the richly encoded social, religious, and political meanings of this imagery. Refuting the belief that this tradition reflects Japan's agrarian origins and supposedly mild climate, Shirane traces the establishment of seasonal topics to the poetry composed by the urban nobility in the eighth century. After becoming highly codified and influencing visual arts in the tenth and eleventh centuries, the seasonal topics and their cultural associations evolved and spread to other genres, eventually settling in the popular culture of the early modern period. Contrasted with the elegant images of nature derived from court poetry was the agrarian view of nature based on rural life. The two landscapes began to intersect in the medieval period, creating a complex, layered web of competing associations. Shirane discusses a wide array of representations of nature and the four seasons in many genres, originating in both the urban and rural perspective: textual (poetry, chronicles, tales), cultivated (gardens, flower arrangement), material (kimonos, screens), performative (noh, festivals), and gastronomic (tea ceremony, food rituals). He reveals how this kind of "secondary nature," which flourished in Japan's urban architecture and gardens, fostered and idealized a sense of harmony with the natural world just at the moment it was disappearing. Illuminating the deeper meaning behind Japanese aesthetics and artifacts, Shirane clarifies the use of natural images and seasonal topics and the changes in their cultural associations and function across history, genre, and community over more than a millennium. In this fascinating book, the four seasons are revealed to be as much a cultural construction as a reflection of the physical world.
