The Myths of Mexico and Peru is a compilation of myths and legends
that were passed down for years in South American cultures, and, at
the time of the first printing in 1914, were just being discovered
by Western researchers and archaeologists as they deciphered
ancient languages. The book includes a brief description of the
histories and civilizations of Mexico and Peru, including the
Mayans, and the myths and legends of each culture.LEWIS SPENCE
(1874-1955) was a Scottish journalist who recorded Scottish
folklore, myths and legends from around the world, histories and
legends about the lost world of Atlantis, and works on the occult.
Spence graduated from Edinburgh University and was the editor of
three magazines, The Scotsman, The Edinburgh Magazine, and The
British Weekly. He also founded the Scottish National Movement, now
known as the Scottish National Party.
Fascinating, painstakingly researched study of occult beliefs and practices in Celtic Britain, with intriguing discussions of the origins of the Druids, Arthurian cults, the mystery of the Holy Grail, Celtic spells and charms, black magic, the Celtic spirit world-with its populations of banshees, leprechauns, brownies and a host of lesser phantoms-and many other topics. A compelling, erudite study that will appeal to anthropologists, folklorists, and anyone interested in the customs and spiritual life of Britain's ancient Celts.
1949. A new investigation of the whole field of inquiry associated
with Druidism, its origin and the historical and traditional
material related to it. An attempt to obliterate the erroneous
views of older writers as to the realities of an important passage
in the history of early European religion and the absurd theories
and assumptions.
Myths and Legends of Babylonia and Assyria, originally published in
November 1916, is a beautiful book that includes explanations of
Babylonian and Assyrian legends and myths as well as the myths
themselves. Lewis Spence, in the Preface, describes his purpose in
writing the book as providing the reader with "the treasures of
romance latent in the subject, the peculiar richness of which has
been recognized since the early days of archaeological effort in
Chaldea." Presented here with original illustrations and bookplates
of paintings, drawings, and pictures concerning the myths, this
book is a classic addition to any library. LEWIS SPENCE (1874-1955)
