The book is about a legendary tragicomic folktale reflecting on the contemporary socioeconomic and belief systems of the Bru people (Riangs) of the erstwhile Kingdom of Tripura. It is a medley of fact and fiction, vulgarity and refinement, pleasure and pain of the ethnic Bru people. It is based on a faded folktale. Folktales are flawed, but folktales still. The bare bones of the past. The author has fleshed and sprinkled the ethnic spices to make the tale juicier, saucier and more palatable. It also reflects on love, romance, music, songs, dance, drinks, smokes, mischief, adultery, conflict and fights of the ethnic primitive tribe – the only Primitive Tribal Group (PTG) of Tripura, India.

Shiva and Dionysus are the Hindu and Greek gods of magical power, intoxication, ecstatic sexuality, and transcendence who initiate us into communion with the creative forces of life. Revealing the earliest sources of the traditions of Shiva and Dionysus, Alain Danielou reconstructs the fabric of our ancient relationship with creation, vividly relating practices that were observed from the Indus Valley to the coasts of Portugal at least six thousand years ago.

*to be read first before Shadow Walkers and Faded* It’s Halloween week in Belmont, Australia, and Sam Almaw and his best friend Elliot Gunfield have been going to the local movie theatre’s fright night weekends, watching five horror movies in a row every Saturday and Sunday in preparation for the big night. One Sunday, Sam and Elliot hear a howling coming from the river near Elliot’s house, and that’s when things change, especially when Elliot suddenly becomes sick and winds up in the hospital. Their high school’s annual Halloween costume party, on the fateful night itself, brings a frightening occurrence. A beast-like creature, the height of man and the width of a car, batters down the gym doors and terrorises the students and teachers through one hellish nightmare before taking to the streets. And then Sam and his dad disappear, and Elliot ends up back in the hospital along with everyone else. But what is the creature and where did it come from? Was it conjured like Beetlejuice and the Candyman, or is it an ancient Egyptian myth that’s far more sinister?

In Renewing the Balance, Dirk Dunbar shows how the balance worshipped in ancient Earth wisdom traditions is being integrated into Western culture’s dominantly masculine, rational value system. Filled with hope, revelations regarding cultural evolution, and scholarship of the highest order, Dunbar’s book passionately challenges all of us to recover the archaic reverence for the natural world, to reconsider the limits of growth, progress, and mechanistic thinking, and to join in the newly reclaimed celebration of life that fosters peace and the potential for a sustainable future. Dirk Dunbar’s Renewing the Balance is a crucial and comprehensive account of how traditional cultures maintained a healthy balance that preserved our natural world and how our modern technocratic, economic ideology has produced a culture that is dangerously out of balance. It is at once a diagnosis of our dis-ease and a prescription for healing our collective psyche, polis, and environment. A truly fascinating philosophical adventure. ~Sam Keen Author of 12 books, including The Passionate Life and Hymns to an Unknown God Renewing the Balance brings depth and breadth to our efforts to understand how Western culture evolved as it did and to appreciate the many streams that now flow into our efforts to manifest ecological wisdom in a hypermodern world. ~Charlene Spretnak Author of 9 books, including States of Grace and The Resurgence of the Real

'The Horned God Chronicles' is a project taken up by the author to look deeper into history and mythology in a quest to understand the harmonic relationship between Society and Mother Nature. This is the first book to openly point out how SHIVA WAS ADOPTED INTO HINDUISM DUE TO POLITICAL REASONS and was initially a God of the aboriginal tribes of India. The aboriginal tribes were far more civilized and managed than those who called themselves Aryans. Indra's political shrewdness wiped out a whole civilization to make sure that the aboriginal tribes remain subjugated even centuries later. This was done overtime by establishing a strict caste system. Check out Video Promo at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q621hfpWyk In the first book you will find some strings of thoughts although random but honest insights into the world-around-us and the universe-inside-us. These thoughts are some of the cookies that will be relished by your mind provided your mind knows to eat. Here you will get food for thought. I don't guarantee that you will like the taste because your mind may be a better cook than mine, but then you are always free to write to me at [email protected] so that I can improve my writing skills. In this book, I present to you the struggles of aboriginal tribes of Indian subcontinent during the Aryan Invasion. I would like to clarify that I am not saying that Aryan Invasion was a West to East movement. It could have been a wave of people from east that might have moved towards Europe. What we know for sure is that there lay a magnificent civilization which we now call the Indus Valley Civilization, and it was way advanced than any other part of the world in Ancient times. We also know that there was a sudden end to it. But there are a long unknown parts in it. I have tried to bridge the unknown realm with the known realm. In this book, I take you on a fantasy ride through the daily lives of the people of World's oldest Civilization, which has also provided evidences that hint towards existence of something close to democracy. I bring to you the beginnings of a long struggle and competition between Brute Force, Rational thinking, Beliefs, Faiths and Blind Faith. I have deliberately kept it short as it will be serving as the platform for the thoughts flowing in my mind. Raghu, the son of Solankhis Clan Leader Dilipa struggles to save not only his clan but the whole humanity from Ignorance. His chance encounter with a Sage reveals a whole new world of possibilities in this First book of THE HORNED GOD Chronicles. With the wisdom of elders and his own courage, he takes the responsibility of Clan Shamans secret on himself in a time when danger lurks all around as men who are filled with lust of Power will go to any extremes to meet their own ends.

As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume Three contains plays by six Mexican indigenous writers. Their plays appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that introduce the work of each playwright and discuss the role of theater within indigenous communities. These supporting materials make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's indigenous peoples.
