Crucible of the Sun: The Mabinogion Retold

Crucible of the Sun: The Mabinogion Retold

Stuart France

The tales of the Mabinogion capture a narrative deeply entwined through the history of the Celtic peoples of the British Isles, drawing on themes that are embedded in the heart of the land. In Crucible of the Sun the author retells these timeless stories in his own inimitable and eminently readable style.The author's deep exploration of the human condition and the transitions between the inner worlds illuminate this retelling, casting a unique light on the symbolism hidden beyond the words, unravelling the complex skein of imagery and weaving a rich tapestry of magic."I will dazzle like fire, hard and high, will flame the breaths of my desire; chief revealer of that which is uttered and that which is asked, tonight I make naked the word."'The author's creative and scholarly engagement with the material and enthusiasm for the original tales is evident throughout.' The Welsh Books Council'I found it very inspiring ' Philip Carr-Gomm, Chosen Chief, Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids (O.B.O.D.)

Pieces of Nietzsche: A Thinker's Bias

Pieces of Nietzsche: A Thinker's Bias

The question of value goes to the heart of who we are, what we are and why we think we are here...A tendency to make certain assumptions about our environment appears to be intrinsic to our nature, yet the meaningful existence we crave can only ever be granted by a 'higher power' which we now seem loathe to recognise outside of ourselves...We have always looked to those best qualified to answer our most fervent questions but what if they too have fallen foul of the 'Auction-House of Things'...And what of the Beyond?Friedrich Nietzsche, philosophical and psychological genius of the nineteenth century, in his book, 'Beyond Good and Evil', presaged the breakdown of the Western Aristocratic ruling elite and the irresistible forces that led to two catastrophic world wars. This new poetic interpretation of his master work teases out still relevant lines of thought for the reappraisal of our rapidly disintegrating current world order.

An Imperious Impulse: Coyote Tales

An Imperious Impulse: Coyote Tales

Silent Eye Press
2017

"Couldn't you make me into a Bull?" asked Coyote.In a time before Man walked the Earth, the Great Spirit breathed life into the land. Coyote was the First. Playful, subversive, curious and sometimes comical, he and his fellow creatures shaped the world for those who were to follow.Coyote is a Native American Trickster and hero of many adventures. Tales of Coyote were passed down and shared with the young to illustrate the dangers of being human. Wilful, headstrong and always in trouble, Coyote journeyed through the spirit worlds, stealing fire and outwitting Death.When the Earth was loved as a living being, the rocks sang and the trees danced. Animals uttered Nature's wisdom and the sun rose and set upon a wondrous world. The echoes of this magical landscape can still be found in the myths and legends of many cultures. They represent the weaving of the human spirit and the silent lore of creation.'Be careful, Coyote, never perform this trick more than four times in any one day.''An Imperious Impulse' is the first book of the Lore Weavers, a collection of ancient tales retold. All traditional cultures evolved stories through which the natural and supernatural worlds could be explained and approached. Beyond their entertainment and humour is a deeper layer of mystery and symbolism through which the wisdom of the people could be transmitted. Telling of a time beyond human experience or memory, these tales meld a knowledge of the natural world with the spiritual and moral code of their creators.The essence of the human quest for an understanding of our role within creation has changed little over the millennia. From the Dreaming of the Australian peoples, to the Great Mystery of the Native Americans and the ancient Celtic myths, there is a common thread that unites humankind across time and distance. It is in the rich tapestry of folk tales that we glimpse its multi-hued beauty. Long may they continue to be enjoyed.

Where is Mister Fox? The night howls in triumph... pale eyes watch from the shadows...It is the night of the Hunter's Moon and the dancing ground should be alive with flame as the Foxes dance in the dark. But the dancing ground is deserted. They are gone. No earthly light pierces the gloom, only the sickly glow of a veiled moon. Don and Wen stare in disbelief. Whispers in the shadows, a faceless voice, a tale of ambush and betrayal... of Foxes driven from their home and scattered, condemned to wander far from their ancestral lands. Charles James Fox wounded... none has seen him since that fateful night. Will the Hunter's Moon pass in darkness? Have the Demon Dogs succeeded in their mission to bring eternal winter to the land? Or will their celebrations be short-lived?...For none may mar the Dancing GroundNor add their darkness to the night, Nor stand against the Silver Fox, The wielder of the Staff of Light...
