Exploring fairy culture across the last 500 years

Daimler Morgan: Fairy Courts, The

Fairy Courts, The

From Folklore to Fiction

Education, Literary Culture, and Religious Practice in the Ancient World

This book examines popular and scholarly representations of ancient Assyria through both ancient and modern sources. The ancient sources include Babylonian, Biblical and Egyptian, while the modern sources include the well-publicized excavations of Nineveh in the 19th century, which captured the popular imagination of Christian Europe. In order to interrogate these representations, the reader is taken back to examine the scholarly and cultural allegiances of the ancient Greek and native Egyptian sources, then to Assyrian self-representation and finally to an interrogation of the cultural and scholarly allegiances of contemporary historians. Straddling Biblical studies, religious studies, classics and ancient Near Eastern studies, this book examines how popular opinion can be informed by scholarly orthodoxy, and simultaneously, how scholarly consensus often rests on cultural orthodoxy.

Israelite Religion

"In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy."- William Blake 
"A Season of Madness&nbsp;is a fantastic carnival of a book.
Equal parts irreverent and erudite, it lovingly captures the depth, complexity,
and subversive nature of the carnival, from its ancient roots to modern
expression. Gorgeously illustrated, intellectually hefty, and also&nbsp;fun, it
is a seductive introduction to the material cultures, legends, and history of
this perennially fascinating and slippery subject."—Joanna Ebenstein, Founder and Creative Director of Morbid
Anatomy Al Ridenour, creator and host of the popular podcast&nbsp;Bone
and Sickle&nbsp;and author of&nbsp;The Krampus and the Old, Dark
Christmas&nbsp;extends his study of Winter folk celebrations to the Spring,
exploring the Old-World Carnival in&nbsp;A Season of Madness.Sumptuously illustrated with over one hundred historical and
modern images, Ridenour ushers readers into cultural hinterlands where
celebrations still echo the cruel realities of the old, agricultural world, and
medieval Christianity intertwines with pagan practice.From&nbsp;ancient Rome to modern Bulgaria,&nbsp;readers
encounter a holiday at once beautiful, strange, and savage. Spring is welcomed
by clowns waving inflated pig bladders. Stalking sheepskin monsters brandish
clubs bristling with hedgehog spines, and plows are dragged over cobblestone
streets by celebrants wearing masks painted with cow’s blood. Folk horror fans
take heart as the Old World welcomes Spring!







Ridenour’s first book,&nbsp;Krampus and the Old, Dark
Christmas: Roots and Rebirth of the&nbsp;Folkloric Devil&nbsp;(2018) is
considered by critics the definitive authority on pagan winter celebrations.
Aside from his books and podcast, Ridenour is a sought-after expert and
lecturer. "Sumptuously illustrated and written with clarity, eloquence,
and wry humor,&nbsp;A Season of Madness&nbsp;is one of those rare books that
can pass muster as an academic study yet also provide a good read. Al
Ridenour's meticulous research exposes the subtleties and outrageous quirks of
a topic you didn't know you wanted to learn about until you picked up his book.
Under his direction, the madness once again reigns, as the neglected history of
European Carnival is placed center stage before the reader, in all its seedy,
wild, and triumphant glory."&nbsp;—Dr. Paul Koudounaris, author and photographer
of:&nbsp;Faithful&nbsp;unto Death,&nbsp;Heavenly Bodies, and numerous other
exquisitely beautiful books about death.

Elements in New Religious Movements

This Element highlights how sacred space is newly made, often associated with blood, death, and geographic anomalies, yet no single feature determines sacred associations. It also examines the multidimensional and multisensory dimensions of sacred space, which can be made almost anywhere, including online, but can also be unmade.

''Tracy King''s memoir is heartbreaking and hopeful...An incredible true story of survival and forgiveness.'' TIM MINCHIN ''Raw and unflinching.'' CAROLINE CRIADO PEREZ ''A brilliant writer.'' ADAM KAY ''What would you do if you began to suspect the events of your childhood didn''t happen as you remembered them? In this evocative memoir, Tracy King confronts the stories we all tell ourselves in order to live.'' HELEN LEWIS ........................................................................................................................ When you have nothing, you cling to whatever gives you hope. Put yourself in Tracy King''s shoes. Growing up in an ordinary council estate outside Birmingham; a house filled with creativity, curiosity and love, but marked by her father''s alcoholism and her mother''s agoraphobia. By the time she turns twelve her father has been killed, her sister taken into care and her mother ensnared by the promises of born-again Christianity. This isn''t the stuff of cult documentaries; this is the story of an ordinary family trapped in a broken system. It''s a story that could happen to anyone without the tools to transform their circumstances. And it''s the story of how Tracy found her way out. A shocking, inspiring and ultimately hopeful memoir that holds up a mirror to the everyday realities of living in poverty, it is also a testament to the power of books and to learning to question our world.
