The Western Karo Batak's Lost Creation Myth
ISBN: 9789004288188 / Angielski / Miękka / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Unlike the Toba Batak, their more populous and powerful neighbours in northern Sumatra, the western Karo Batak today claim they have no creation myth. Yet certain clues point to shared cosmogony among several Batak groups, now reinforced by Jean Paul Barbier-Mueller's discovery of a very old traditional house among the western Karo. The symbolic decoration of the house eliminates all doubt: the western Karo once viewed the cosmos as divided into three worlds - Upper, Middle and Lower. The giant dragon who lived in the Lower World carried the Middle World (where humans reside) on its back,...

In the Afro-Cuban Lukumi religious tradition--more commonly known in the United States as Santeria--entrants into the priesthood undergo an extraordinary fifty-three-week initiation period.

Neighbors, Strangers, Witches, and Culture-Heroes: Ritual Powers of Smith/Artisans in Tuareg Society and Beyond
ISBN: 9780761865926 / Angielski / Miękka / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines alleged "superhuman" powers predominantly associated with smith/artisans in five African societies. It discusses their ritual and social roles, mythico-histories, symbols surrounding their art, and changing relationships between these specialists and their patrons. Needed but also feared, these smith/artisans work in traditionally hereditary occupations and in stratified but negotiable relationships with their rural patron families. Many of them now also work for new customers in an expanding market economy, which is still characterized by personal, face-to-face...

Spirits of Blood, Spirits of Breath: The Twinned Cosmos of Indigenous America
ISBN: 9780199997060 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Before invasion, Turtle Island-or North America-was home to vibrant cultures that shared long-standing philosophical precepts. The most important and wide-spread of these was the view of reality as a collaborative binary known as the Twinned Cosmos of Blood and Breath. This binary system was built on the belief that neither half of the cosmos can exist without its twin. Both halves are, therefore, necessary and good. Western anthropologists typically shorthand the Twinned Cosmos as "Sky and Earth" but this erroneously saddles it with Christian baggage and, worse, imposes a hierarchy that puts...

Religion in the Kitchen: Cooking, Talking, and the Making of Black Atlantic Traditions
ISBN: 9781479839551 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Before honey can be offered to the Afro-Cuban deity Ochun, it must be tasted, to prove to her that it is good. In African-inspired religions throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, and the United States, such gestures instill the attitudes that turn participants into practitioners. Acquiring deep knowledge of the diets of the gods and ancestors constructs adherents' identities; to learn to fix the gods' favorite dishes is to be "seasoned" into their service. In this innovative work, Elizabeth Perez reveals how seemingly trivial "micropractices" such as the preparation of sacred foods, are...

Born Into Idolatry Bondage
ISBN: 9781498458634 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Have you ever wondered why there is no progress, no peace and no joy in your life and maybe in your family? Why wherever the soles of your feet touch, you possessed curses instead of blessings; and why is it that anything you touched brought a curse instead of blessings? Think about it. BORN INTO IDOLATRY BONDAGE is one of the major destroyers of the foundation of the lives of many people. It leads to spiritual imprisonment, torments and slavery by birth through generational inheritance. It is a curse that stands as a spiritual epidemic. When we talk of bondage we are talking about a spirit...

An African Tree of Life
ISBN: 9781498278669 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An African Tree of Life demonstrates how mission involves not only a ""bringing-to"" a people, but a ""discovering-of"" those deep symbols in human culture and God's creation that, in the light of the gospel, draw humanity to Christ. This book, in a scholarly yet intriguing way, explores the stories and rituals of the Gbaya people of the Cameroon and the Central African Republic. These deep symbols are typically centered not in the esoteric or exotic but in the familiar and everyday. Christensen focuses on the especial importance of the peace-bringing tree of life--the sore tree--central to...

Awake In The Dark: On The Road From Babylon To Zion
ISBN: 9781523618927 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Zion is that place Black people have longed to go to; it is the known metaphor for Freedom. In Awake In The Dark: On The Road From Babylon To Zion by author Roshan Cipriani, it becomes so much more than just a metaphor. This book takes readers along on the mental and spiritual journey from Babylon to Zion and the awakening it requires in preparation for the coming physical journey. From a scriptural based coming out of religions and back to the Creator- to the things enacted on Black Hebrews and their children, it is both informative and shocking.

Religion and Non-Religion Among Australian Aboriginal Peoples
ISBN: 9781472443830 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Offering a significant contribution to the emerging field of 'Non-Religion Studies', Religion and Non-Religion among Australian Aboriginal Peoples draws on Australian 2011 Census statistics to ask whether the Indigenous Australian population, like the wider Australian society, is becoming increasingly secularised or whether there are other explanations for the surprisingly high percentage of Aboriginal people in Australia who state that they have 'no religion'. Contributors from a range of disciplines consider three central questions: How do Aboriginal Australians understand or interpret what...
