European Paganism, a Collection: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This ninth compilation was created partially due to public demand; it is artificially constrained to a few variants of European paganism (Greek, Roman, Norse, and British/Irish) because of the expansive nature of the subject. Much of the work is academic and historical in tone, although "Valhalla" is mostly a poetic epic. These seven works are, in my opinion, a decent springboard into the subject. As with all of my compiled volumes, it contains a lengthy list of works in a bibliography for further reading on the subject matter, and an expansive foreword detailing each work and the premise of the compiled volume.

Included works:

-Valhalla: The Myths of Norseland

-Pagan Ideas of Immortality

-Pagan Mythology: Wisdom of the Ancients

-A Compendium of Heathen Mythology

-The Mythology of Ancient Britain and Ireland

-Dionysos and Immortality

-The Religion of Ancient Scandinavia

Outlines of Greek and Roman Medicine: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This fine work compiles lore about medical practices, major medical figures, and some of the innovations of both ancient Greece and Rome (sanitation, plumbing systems, etc.) It is quite thorough, and goes beyond perennial names and ideas like trepanning or Galen, into lesser known topics, like the development of the speculum, figures like Andromachus, and much more. It is profuse with notes and references to other works, also.

Greek and Roman Ghost Stories: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This little volume is a compilation of (as the title suggests!) ghostly tales from ancient Greece and Rome. Some of them are from historians, others are from plays and fictional material- and it is interesting to note the major similarity of tales in both. In one extremely interesting passage, Nero himself ends up doing manual labor to try and calm terrified workers who swore they heard the dead around them and that the ground was welling up with the blood of the deceased.

60 pages.

Apollonius of Tyana: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This fine book is a great look at the life and teachings of Apollonius- it is partly a critical work, sometimes querying the veracity of Philostratus and other ancient writers and figures, often using secondary works within its analysis- it also contains a full bibliography, although most of the listed texts are in German or French.

112 pages.

Beginnings, Glimpses of Vanished Civilizations: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This excellent work is a compilation of lore spanning many centuries and ranging from ancient Greek, to Roman, to Egyptian, to Vedic lore, all of which revolves around the concept of the origins of mankind. It touches on both science and history, with heavy allusions to Atlantis, and sometimes quoting Ignatius Donnelly.

A Compendium of Heathen Mythology: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This is a rather short work, one written in the middle of the 19th century. Marketed to young, middle and upper middle class females, it is a sort of pagan primer- one which outcompeted contemporary works by amusingly including Hindu and Egyptian material alongside the then-standard Greek and Roman.

This amusing aside does not detract from the content- it is as good as any similar work. I like it slightly more because of those asides. It ought to be noted that a lot of the Hindi words had to be modernized (IE Seevah to Shiva.)
