Lunar goddess book6/10/2023 The word mystery comes from the Middle English misterie or mysteries, from the Latin mysterium, and from the Greek musterion, or secret rites from mustes, one initiated into secret rites. The title of this book has not been arbitrarily chosen. If we are fortunate, what we discover can help us to release our fears of the dark. Mysteries of the Dark Moon will seek to uncover the secret of the moon’s mysterious dark phase through exploring the mythical, psychological, and spiritual symbolism of the lunar darkness. Who is this lady of the moon, and what gifts does she shine down upon earth creatures? And when, each month, she disappears altogether for several days, what does she conceal behind her dark time, her most secret time? Each night she appears robed in a different garment, which hints at the mysteries surrounding both her luminous and shadowy displays. The moon, Queen of the Night in all her silvery splendor, reaches out to us as she glides across the black, moonlit skies. O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the west Wane, be at rest. O Lady Moon, your horns point toward the east Shine, be increased The story that the moon tells is of birth, growth, fullness, decay, disappearance, with rebirth and growth again. To She Who Glides the Silver Crescent Moon BoatĤ Nyx, Goddess of Night, and the Daughters of Nightħ The Dark Goddess as the Muse of Menstruation and MenopauseĨ The Initiation Mysteries of Demeter and Persephoneĩ The Healing Power of the Lunar Darkness

Umberto eco numero zero review6/10/2023 Italian author Elisabetta Sgarbi, who founded a publishing house last year with Eco and other Italian writers, called him "a great living encyclopedia" who taught young people "the capacity to love discoveries and marvels."Īuthor of books ranging from novels to scholarly tomes to essay collections, Eco was fascinated with the obscure and the mundane, and his books were both engaging narratives and philosophical and intellectual exercises. Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said Eco "united a unique intelligence of the past and an inexhaustible capacity to anticipate the future." A memorial service will be held on Tuesday at Milan's Sforza Castle, a grand citadel which is overlooked by Eco's book-filled house.įrench President Francois Hollande remembered Eco as "an immense humanist," adding that "libraries have lost an insatiable reader, universities a dazzling professor and literature a passionate writer." His death was earlier confirmed by his American publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.Įco's contribution to Italian literature was lauded by political and cultural figures alike.

Don delillo omega point6/10/2023 He has gone to Elster's house in the desert to persuade him to participate in a documentary.Īs with Falling Man and Underworld, DeLillo is once again spinning off semi-actualities. Finley is a filmmaker whose company is unpromisingly called Deadbeat Films. Elster is an elderly theorist of war who was one of the architects of Iraq. Jim Finley, the novel's narrator, sits and watches the frames click past the same way that Richard Elster watches his life slip by. Anthony Perkins turns his head in five incremental movements rather than one continuous motion." The man could count the gradations in the movement of Anthony Perkins' head. That fascination bookends Point Omega, whose beginning and ending both feature 24 Hour Psycho, an installation at the Museum of Modern Art which slows down Hitchcock's Psycho to the point where it takes 24 hours to watch the entire movie. He built one entire novel (Running Dog) around the search for a 35mm print from Hitler's private film collection. He's fascinated by their physicality, their visual attributes - the dance of the grain as the frames pass by, the way that film has of capturing lost time. Not in any conventional way - as artifacts of celebrity, or even of sociology. Scribner 112 pages $24.ĭon DeLillo has always been fascinated by movies.
