Описание: Baba Yaga is an ambiguous and fascinating figure. She appears in traditional Russian folktales as a monstrous and hungry cannibal, or as a canny inquisitor of the adolescent hero or heroine of the tale. In new translations and with an introduction by Sibelan Forrester, Baba Yaga: The Wild Witch of the East in Russian Fairy Tales is a selection of tales that draws from the famous collection of Aleksandr Afanas'ev, but also includes some tales from the lesser-known nineteenth-century collection of Ivan Khudiakov. This new collection includes beloved classics such as ""Vasilisa the Beautiful"" and ""The Frog Princess,"" as well as a version of the tale that is the basis for the ballet ""The Firebird."" The preface and introduction place these tales in their traditional context with reference to Baba Yaga's continuing presence in today's culture--the witch appears iconically on tennis shoes, tee shirts, even tattoos. The stories are enriched with many wonderful illustrations of Baba Yaga, some old (traditional ""lubok"" woodcuts), some classical (the marvelous images from Victor Vasnetsov or Ivan Bilibin), and some quite recent or solicited specifically for this collection
Описание: Zetetic Astronomy is an 1881 treatise by Samuel Birley Rowbotham. Samuel Birley Rowbotham (1816 - 1884) was an English writer and inventor. He is most famous Zetetic Astronomy, an idea that the Earth is not spherical, but an enclosed plane centred at the North Pole and encircled by a wall of ice. According to Rowbotham, the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars are only a few hundred miles above the Earth. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in Flat Earth theory, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: Introduction--Experiments proving the Earth to be a Plane, The Earth no Axial or Orbital Motion, The True Distance of the Sun and Stars, The Sun moves in a Circle over the Earth, concentric with the North Pole, Diameter of Sun's path Constantly Changing, Causes of Day and Night, Seasons, &c., Cause of 'Sun Rise' and 'Sun Set', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
Описание: An original overview of witchcraft and witch-hunting in early modern England, from the first witch trials early in Elizabeth I`s reign to the repeal of the Witchcraft Statute in 1736, demonstrating how learned discussion of witchcraft, as well as the trials of those suspected of the crime, were shaped by religious and political imperatives.
Описание: Sometimes the only way to get justice is to make it for yourself.
Many modern witches believe that you should only use magic to bring positive energy into the world, and most spell books teach you those types of spells. This spell book is different. This spell book is wicked.
There are times when you will be hurt by someone you loved, betrayed by someone you trusted, maligned by someone you thought was your friend. Times when the magic of light and love just will not do.
Thalia Thorne is an experienced witch and falls firmly into the camp that knows that there is no such thing as "white magic" or "black magic". Magic is what you turn to when mundane methods have failed or just won't work. If you're not pushing back against those who would walk all over you, then you're just going to end up being a doormat.
This spell book will teach you how to make your own justice and stand up for yourself. For example, you'll find:
Agony of Acne Curse - to give someone a pimple
Sour Break Up Spell - to end a relationship
Banish Your Ex Hex - to drive them away forever
Business Butcher Curse - to destroy a business
Liar's Lamentation - to find out who has been spreading lies
And over 50 other spells that use simple ingredients and provide step-by-step directions that a beginner can follow.
The next time someone wrongs you, will you turn the other cheek?
