R550 Discovery Miles 5 500 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

England 2005: the year of the London Tube bombings. A world dominated by the internet and the fear of terrorism. But the ancient pagan religions of witchcraft and Wicca are making a comeback. Most Wiccans are ordinary people united by a simple New-Age faith in Nature and ancient spirits. But hidden in their depths lurks a sinister organisation, the Wakened, who plan to restore Wicca as the primary religion of Britain, and seem prepared to kill to achieve it Owen is a young up-and-coming Cambridge biologist whose comfortable middle-class life is torn apart by the death of his girlfriend Sarah. Owen's quest to bring her killers to justice takes him into the core of the Wakened, where he uncovers ancient clues to the roots of Wicca. After being drawn into a Wiccan terrorist plot, he finds himself sliding helplessly from respected academic to hunted criminal. This novel is fiction: a mystery/thriller. But embedded within it is ancient knowledge, fused with insights from modern astronomical knowledge, questioning the origin of Wicca and witchcraft.

Emu Dreaming - An Introduction to Australian Aboriginal Astronomy (Paperback): Ray Norris, Cilla Norris Emu Dreaming - An Introduction to Australian Aboriginal Astronomy (Paperback)

R292 Discovery Miles 2 920 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The art and traditions of Aboriginal Australia draw on 40,000 years experience of gazing into the richness of unpolluted skies from pristine lands. They include the "emu in the sky" constellation of dark clouds, and stories about the Sun, Moon, and the Seven Sisters. Several Aboriginal groups use the rising and setting of particular stars to show when to harvest a food source. Some explain how the tides are caused by the Moon, and even explain eclipses as a conjunction of the Sun and Moon. This book explores the mystical Aboriginal astronomical stories and traditions, and the way in which they are used for practical applications such as navigation and harvesting. It describes the journey of exploration that's currently opening Western eyes to this treasury of ancient Aboriginal knowledge, and is written by two active researchers in the field: Prof. Ray Norris (an astrophysicist with CSIRO, and an Adjunct Professor at the Dept. of Indigenous Studies, Macquarie University), and his wife Cilla. In this book, Ray and Cilla bring you the results of their 6-year quest to research Aboriginal Astronomy, including: * uncovering little-known manuscripts, * visiting Aboriginal sites throughout Australia, * writing down stories from ancient communities. Few outsiders understand the depth and complexity of Aboriginal cultures. This book will give you a glimpse that will change your ideas about Aboriginal society.
