Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All three books in 'The Dark Amulet', a series of epic fantasy novels by Jennifer Ealey, now in one volume! The Pale-Eyed Mage: Sheldrake is a mage. Maud is a shapeshifter. When their son is born, he is completely pale with nearly white eyes: the legacy of a fearsome great-grandmother. Jayhan grows into a cheery, accident-prone eight-year-old, unhappily aware of his heritage. Soon, a dark-eyed orphan enters his life; rescued from a brutal master to become their stableboy, Sasha's past is shrouded in secrets. The only legacy Sasha has of the past is an obsidian amulet. With ancient prophecies coming to bear and deadly enemies at all sides, can they uncover the secrets of the dark amulet.. and survive? The Green-Eyed Man: Stefan, one of the King’s arms masters, is appointed to train and protect Sasha, whose green eyes are a color never seen among the people of Carrador. This alone is enough to bring High Lord Tarkyn, forest guardian and sorcerer from the neighboring country of Eskuzor, to investigate. What he discovers turns Stefan’s world upside down. Soon, all other considerations are thrust aside when Sasha and her friend are abducted by the Kimorans. Racing against time, can Stefan save the two and bring peace to the realm? The Dark-Eyed Shaman: Upon return to Highkington, eleven-year-old Sasharia and her elder brother, Jondarion, try to settle back into day-to-day life. But their murderous aunt Toriana has no intention of allowing Sasha or Jon to survive, and will go to any lengths to protect her throne. Setting out for Kimora, the two hold on to a faint hope that Sasha, by wielding her amulet, can overcome her aunt’s magical binding and confront Toriana herself. But even with the help of her companions the task is monumental for a young girl. But Sasha is the true High Shaman and holder of the dark amulet. She is the only person who can even attempt to stop Toriana before the Kimoran armies invade Carrador. And unknown to them all, another unexpected force is also in play.

This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume amulets and talismans are studied within a broader system of meaning that shapes how they were manufactured, activated and used in different networks. Text, material features and the environments in which these artifacts circulated, are studied alongside each other, resulting in an innovative approach to understand the many different functions these objects could fulfil in pre-modern times. Produced and used by Muslims and non-Muslims alike, the case studies presented here include objects that differ in size, material, language and shape. What the articles share is an all-round, in-depth approach that helps the reader understand the complexity of the objects discussed and will improve one’s understanding of the role they played within pre-modern societies. Contributors Hazem Hussein Abbas Ali, Gideon Bohak, Ursula Hammed, Juan Campo, Jean-Charles Coulon, Venetia Porter, Marcela Garcia Probert, Anne Regourd, Yasmine al-Saleh, Karl Schaefer and Petra M.

Book Synopsis Amulets by : Flinders Petrie

Download or read book Amulets written by Flinders Petrie and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by the British archaeologist, Flinders Petrie, was originally published in 1914 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Amulets' is a scholarly work on the varieties of amulets found on archaeological digs. William Matthew Flinders Petrie was born on 3rd July 1853 in Kent, England, son of Wlilliam Petrie and Ann née Flinders. He showed an early interest in the field of archaeology and by his teenage years was surveying local Roman monuments near his family home. Flinders Petrie continued to have many successes in Egypt and Palestine throughout his career, most notably, his discovery of the Mernepte stele, a stone tablet depicting scenes from ancient times. His excellent methodology and plethora of finds earned him a Knighthood for his services to archaeology in 1923.

Book Synopsis Amulets in Magical Practice by : Jay Johnston

Download or read book Amulets in Magical Practice written by Jay Johnston and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element takes as its remit the production and use of amulets. The focus will be on amulets with no, or minimal, textual content like those comprising found stone, semi-precious gem and/or animal body parts. That is a material form that is unaccompanied by directive textual inscription. The analysis considers this materiality to understand its context of use including ritual and metaphysical operations. Through discussion of selected case studies from British, Celtic, and Scandinavian cultures, it demonstrates the associative range of meaning that enabled the attribution of power/agency to the amuletic object Uniquely, it will consider this material culture from an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing together insights from the disciplines of cultural studies, religious studies, 'folk' studies, archaeology and Scandinavian studies. It develops the concept of 'trans-aniconism' to encapsulates an amulet's temporal relations and develops the proposition of 'landscape amulets.'
