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.

Book excerpt: • Looks at the age-old spiritual principles, folklore, and esoteric traditions behind the creation of magical objects as well as the use of numbers, colors, sigils, geometric emblems, knots, crosses, pentagrams, and other symbols • Explores hundreds of artifacts, such as hagstones, Norse directional amulets, car hood mascots, objects made from bones and teeth, those connected with plants and animals, charms associated with gambling, and religious relics • Includes photos of artifacts from the author’s extensive collection Offering an illustrated exploration of the origins and history of amulets, lucky charms, talismans, and mascots, including photos of unique and original artifacts from his extensive collection, Nigel Pennick examines these objects from a magical perspective, from ancient Egypt to the present. He looks at the age-old spiritual principles, folklore, and esoteric traditions behind their creation as well as the use of numbers, colors, sigils, geometric emblems, knots, crosses, pentagrams, and other symbols. Pennick explores magical charms and objects manufactured from bones, teeth, claws, and horns and those that include symbols of the human body. He also discusses religious relics as well as the combining of charms to make more powerful objects, from the bind runes of the Norse and the crowns of ancient Egypt to the Mojo hand and the medicine pouch. Revealing the lasting power of amulets, talismans, charms, and mascots, Pennick shows that these objects and symbols have retained their magic across the centuries.

Book Synopsis Beware the Evil Eye Volume 2 by : John H. Elliott

Download or read book Beware the Evil Eye Volume 2 written by John H. Elliott and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present volume, Elliott addresses the most extensive sources of Evil Eye belief in antiquity--the cultures of Greece and Rome. In this period, features of the belief found in Mesopotamian and Egyptian sources are expanded to the point where an "Evil Eye belief complex" becomes apparent. This complex of features associated with the Evil Eye--human eye as key organ of information, eye as active not passive, eye as channel of emotion and dispositions, especially envy, arising in the heart, possessors, victims, defensive strategies, and amulets--is essential to an understanding of the literary references to the Evil Eye. This volume, along with chapter 2 of volume 1, sets and illuminates the context for examining Evil Eye belief and practice in the Bible and the biblical communities (the focus of volume 3).
