Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Pagan Bible: Hidden Myths Behind the ScripturesBy Shera LongUnearth the forgotten origins of the world's most sacred book.Before prophets, temples, and commandments, there were stories whispered by firelight-of creation and flood, of gods and goddesses, of light born from darkness. The Pagan Bible reveals the ancient myths that shaped scripture long before religion divided them. Drawing upon archaeology, comparative mythology, and sacred texts from Sumer, Egypt, Babylon, and Canaan, Shera Long traces the hidden ancestry of faith itself.Inside this illuminating work, you will discover: - The Creation Story - how Genesis mirrors Sumerian and Egyptian cosmogonies where divine speech and sacred breath gave birth to the world.- The Garden of Eden - the echo of older paradise myths and goddess groves where serpent, tree, and woman were symbols of wisdom, not sin.- The Serpent - once a healer and initiator, turned into a warning of knowledge forbidden.- The Great Flood - a global memory of destruction and renewal that united myth and history.- The Tower of Babel - humanity's longing to bridge heaven and earth through sacred architecture.- The Sun Kings and the Divine Feminine - the veiled legacy of solar monarchs and goddesses whose light and compassion still shape faith.- Moses and Egypt, the Ark, the Cross, and beyond - how the symbols of empire, temple, and redemption are transformations of far older mysteries.The Pagan Bible is both revelation and remembrance-a journey through the hidden lineage of the sacred. It unveils how every religion, beneath its surface, carries the same eternal pattern of death and rebirth, exile and return, darkness and divine light.To read this book is to rediscover the world's first scripture-the living myth of humanity itself.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Pagan Christmas: Hidden Origins of the HolidayBy Shera LongLong before angels and carols, before the manger and the star of Bethlehem, people across the ancient world gathered at the darkest time of the year to greet the returning light. They lit fires upon snowy hills, adorned their homes with evergreen boughs, feasted with family, and sang to the dawn. Their festivals celebrated the rebirth of the sun, the eternal rhythm of death and renewal, and the mystery that life endures even through the deepest night.The Pagan Christmas: Hidden Origins of the Holiday journeys back to those earliest celebrations that gave birth to the season we know today. Drawing on historical sources, mythology, and enduring folk traditions, it reveals how Yule, Saturnalia, and the solstice rites of Europe shaped the symbols that fill our homes - the tree, the wreath, the candle, and the star. Beneath every modern custom lies the voice of an older faith, one that honoured the living earth and the turning heavens with reverence and joy.Through twelve richly woven chapters and a lyrical appendix of customs and sources, Shera Long traces the transformation of winter's sacred rites into the Christmas of today. From the Norse Yule fires and Roman feasts to the Christian Nativity and the quiet wonder of the Twelve Nights, this book uncovers the seamless continuity of belief that unites them all.It is both history and meditation, a study of what humanity has always sought in the heart of winter - light in the darkness, peace in the storm, and the unbroken promise of renewal.Inside you will discover: The ancient solstice festivals that inspired Christmas as we know itThe forgotten deities and spirits who once ruled the seasonThe origins of the tree, the wreath, the star, and the Yule fireThe twelve nights and the hidden world of midwinter spiritsThe transformation of pagan reverence into Christian faithThe timeless truth that light and love forever returnRichly written and deeply researched, The Pagan Christmas invites readers to rediscover the spiritual roots of the world's most cherished holiday. It is a celebration of continuity, memory, and the eternal rhythm that binds all creation - the sacred turning of the year and the eternal return of the light. This item is printed on demand.
