The first section of this books tells the tales of three great figures in American Indian culture: two of flesh and bone and one heroine of spirit. These stories give us hope that in a time of disarray and despair, a culture can be turned around to walk a more wholesome path. The second section offers yarns from the Lakota that relate the dire consequences in store for those who choose to live a life of self-centered pursuit. In all of them, we're reminded that only a life lived in integrity and service is a life worth living.

Of all the characters in myths and legends told around the world, it's the wily trickster who provides the real spark in the action, causing trouble wherever he goes. This figure shows up time and again in Native American folklore, where he takes many forms, from the irascible Coyote of the Southwest, to Iktomi, the amorphous spider man of the Lakota tribe. This dazzling collection of American Indian trickster tales, compiled by an eminent anthropologist and a master storyteller, serves as the perfect companion to their previous masterwork, American Indian Myths and Legends. American Indian Trickster Tales includes more than one hundred stories from sixty tribes--many recorded from living storytellers—which are illustrated with lively and evocative drawings. These entertaining tales can be read aloud and enjoyed by readers of any age, and will entrance folklorists, anthropologists, lovers of Native American literature, and fans of both Joseph Campbell and the Brothers Grimm.

It's time to thrive! The Divine Feminine has been suppressed in the Western world for centuries. As a result of our disregard for her and Mother Earth, we now live in a time of impending global catastrophe. Business-as-usual is no longer an option. How can we respond to this situation? How can women reclaim the breadth and depth of our worth? How can we reclaim our unique way of being, experiencing, feeling and acting in the world, when until recently we’ve been restricted and constrained? In her book, Iris examines the archetypes that can guide us through difficult situations and circumstances back to our own magnificent selves and to the Divine Feminine. Each unique archetype has qualities to inspire you to approach old, gnarly problems and situations in new ways. Each archetype guides and empowers you to explore the different sides of your Self. Each one allows you to realise your strengths, talents and skills and what gives your life meaning, passion and purpose. Realise how to live the most fulfilling life imaginable. Offer up your unique gifts to the world, ones you may not realise you have! YOU matter! By living your life to its fullest potential, you can join the communal effort to better the world with ease and grace. “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.” Dalai Lama

In this fascinating book, Steven Farmer guides you through a journey on the accompanying audio download to discover and connect with your power animal. Once you’ve determined who your power animal is, you can refer to the text to learn what this says about you, find instructions on how to call upon the spirit animal, and read a channeled message for you from that animal spirit. You’ll also find out which animal spirit to call on for particular situations, and additional tracks on the audio will help you consult your power animal as an oracle. Your power animal will not only help you develop a greater sense of personal and spiritual power, but will also help you heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually—as well as guide you through difficult life transitions. Working with your power animal will put you in touch with your own instinctual nature, thereby increasing your intuitive awareness and enhancing every area of your life.

This comprehensive collection of folk hero tales builds on the success of the first edition by providing readers with expanded contextual information on story characters from the Americas to Zanzibar. Despite the tremendous differences between cultures and ethnicities across the world, all of them have folk heroes and heroines—real and imagined—that have been represented in tales, legends, songs, and verse. These stories persist through time and space, over generations, even through migrations to new countries and languages. This encyclopedia is a one-stop source for broad coverage of the world's folk hero tales. Geared toward high school and early college readers, the book opens with an overview of folk heroes and heroines that provides invaluable context and then presents a chronology. The book is divided into two main sections: the first provides entries on the major types and themes; the second addresses specific folk tale characters organized by continent with folk hero entries organized alphabetically. Each entry provides cross references as well as a list of further readings. Continent sections include a bibliography for additional research. The book concludes with an alphabetical list of heroes and an index of hero types.
