2012 and the End of the World: The Western Roots of the Maya Apocalypse
ISBN: 9781442206090 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Did the Maya really predict that the world would end in December of 2012? If not, how and why has 2012 millenarianism gained such popular appeal?

They begin by briefly examining the evidence for the prediction of the world's end in ancient Maya texts and images, analyzing precisely what Maya priests did and did not prophesize. The authors then convincingly...

Spirits of the Sacred Grove
ISBN: 9781782796855 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For many, the word Druidry conjures up images of white-robed figures involved in esoteric rituals. But modern Druidry is not wrapped up in a veil of secrecy - it is celebrated openly, in the sunlight of the meadow or the shady leafiness of forest glade. Druids are passionate about the environment, and their worship is above all focused on Nature through the celebration of the changing seasons of the year. Spirits of the Sacred Grove is a very personal journey through the seasons seen through the eyes of a modern female Druid. Emma Restall Orr takes the reader through the cycles of nature,...
