Understanding Religion through the Eyes of Others

Religion, Culture, and the Monstrous explores the intersection of monster theory and religious studies. Within these chapters lurk a gamut of strange and demonic creatures from the Bronze Age to contemporary popular culture, illuminating how monsters reflect cultural ways of seeing the world and exist in surplus of named categories.

Pantheon - The Romans

A classic travelogue exploring the meeting point of Ireland's landscape and legends, by Britain's foremost female surrealist painter "Colquhoun has a very beguiling pen. . . To Irish landscapes she brings a painter's eye, writing particularly beautifully about skies, twilights, river valleys, sea-frayed coasts and the intensive atmosphere of remote places" -- Tatler Into the world of 1950s Ireland--a lushly green, windswept landscape studded with holy wells and the decaying country houses of a vanished ruling class--arrives Ithell Colquhoun. An occultist and a surrealist painter, Colquhoun's travels around the island are guided by her artist's eye and her feeling for the world beyond our own, as well as her spikily humorous view of the people she meets. We encounter faeries and pagan rituals, ruined churches and Celtic splendour, rowdy bohemians and Anglo-Irish landowners fallen on hard times, as the author carouses through Dublin and tramps the hills of Connemara in this classic travelogue. Through her unique perceptions we discover a land that is fiercely alive and compelling. It is a place where the wind cries, the stones tell old tales and the mountains watch over the roads and those who travel on them. By intuiting the eerie magic of Ireland, Colquhoun casts her own spell. She offers up a land of myth and legend, stripped of its modern signs, at the same time offering herself to the reader in this portrait of the artist as a young woman. Richly visual and full of sly wit, this is an account of Ireland as only Colquhoun could see it, a land where myth and magic meet wind and rain, and the song of the secret kingdom is heard on city streets.

Elements in New Religious Movements

This Element explores the life, teaching, and legacy of philosopher and spiritual teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti. From an obscure childhood in south India, he was 'discovered' at age fourteen by the Theosophical Society as the vehicle for the prophesied World Teacher of this cosmic age.

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.

Literary Representations of Assyria

Was Ovid a surprising champion of women's sexual pleasure? Or did he just want them to fake it? Where did the British Museum curators hide the most pornographic of frescoes? And what exactly was the phallic wooden object excavated in 90's Northumberland? In APHRODISIA, Dr Jean Menzies dives into the hidden history of women's sexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome. The classical world stretched across the Mediterranean for more than a millennium, its people and cultures wide and varied and its sexual proclivities equally so. Yet so often when we read about sex in antiquity it is about the men folk first and foremost: which brothels they were visiting, how they balanced wives and lovers, and what they got up to in the gymnasium. Delving into the literature, art and artefacts of the ancient world, from sex toys to seduction tips to kink, Dr Jean Menzies instead centres women and their desire. In doing so, she uncovers the many faces of women's sexuality over the course of thousands of years, and asks intriguing, and sometimes provocative questions about women, sex and desire today.

"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.
