The mythology of the ancient Celts is a rich and complex one. Celtic myths relate epic stories of heroic ancestors, when the divine and mortal realms were intimately intertwined and gods and goddesses inhabited the natural world. The exploits of Cuchulainn and Fionn mac Cumhaill, of Deirdre and Rhiannon, and of other heroes and heroines may have their roots in the distant past but they continue to thrill and enchant readers today.Celtic Myths is a fascinating survey of these myths and of the history behind them. Preserved in the monasteries of early Christian Ireland and in stories first written down in medieval Wales, their origins lie much deeper in the largely lost world of the Celts. Only on the Atlantic coast of Western Europe have aspects of the oral culture of the ancient Celts resisted the tide of history. The languages and traditions of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, Cornwall and Brittany still resonate with the mythology of a pre-Christian world.For all those who want to understand the Celts and the way in which they perceived their world, and for all those who simply enjoy the narrative power of ancient myths, this Pocket Essential provides the ideal introduction.

El Chilam Balam de Chumayel (o el libro del adivino de las cosas ocultas) es una colección de libros escritos en lengua maya, por personajes anónimos, durante los siglos XVI y XVII, en la península de Yucatan.Los libros del Chilam Balam relatan hechos y circunstancias historicas de la civilizacion maya antes de la conquista española.Durante la epoca colonial, los misioneros catolicos españoles destruyeron la mayor parte de los escritos de la religion maya, al considerar que tales memorias eran nocivas para la catequizacion de los mayas.Los mayas escribieron los libros del Chilam Balam despues de la conquista, presuntamente por el interes de los colonizadores, por lo que en su redaccion se nota ya la influencia de la cultura española, sobre todo en materia religiosa.Estos libros contienen textos de diferentes epocas y estilos, con un contenido religioso profetico, medico e historico, principalmente cronologico. Su nombre deriva del de un sacerdote, Chilam Balam.Estos textos, traducidos por Antonio Mediz Bolio, pretendieron contener los secretos de los mayas y son una fuente importante para el conocimiento de la religion, historia, folklore, medicina, y astronomia de dicha cultura.Se supone que hubo mas libros en la coleccion de Chilam Balam (que se denominaron con los nombres de los pueblos en que los escribieron), pero solo unos pocos sobrevivieron hasta hoy.Los libros mas importantes del Chilam Balam son los siguientes: Mani Tizimin Chumayel Kaua Ixil Tusik Codice Perez El Chilam Balam de Chumayel, es quiza el mas importante de todos.Balam es el nombre mas famoso de los chilames que vinieron antes de la venida de los europeos al continente. Es un nombre de familia pero significa brujo o mago. Asimismo Chilam o Chilan es el titulo que se daba a los oraculos que interpretaban los libros y la voluntad de los Dioses.Tambien Chilam significa el que es boca y Balam es, a su vez, Jaguar. Por lo que Chilam Balam se puede traducir como Jaguar acostado en alusion a un Dios maya encarnado en este felino.

Comparando entre sí los mitos, las leyendas y las historias sagradas de religiones animistas, politeístas y monoteístas de todo el mundo, el autor construye a base de ejemplos un árbol genealógico del posible origen y evolucion de las historias sagradas. Encuentra que todas estan relacionadas entre si, y que en su esencia se componen de unos pocos mitos teofanicos (sobre la aparicion del Creador) y cosmogonicos (sobre la creacion del mundo) con numerosas versiones cada uno, unas versiones mas antiguas y fantasticas que otras. Deduce que esos mitos tuvieron su origen en Africa, cuna de la humanidad, donde a la sazon se conservan hoy las versiones mas antiguas, y donde se habria contado la primera historia sagrada, que el autor llama protohistoria sagrada. Hace unos 60.000 años la humanidad salio de Africa y difundio por el mundo la protohistoria sagrada, que ha evolucionado desde entonces con ritmos distintos en los cinco continentes. Cree que ese relato ancestral habria sido la expresion del pensamiento mitico forjado, seguramente con el nacimiento de la especie humana, a partir de ideas muy elementales sobre el origen y destino del mundo y de la humanidad. Esas ideas existenciales, que subyacen hoy en todas las religiones, conforman lo que llama cosmovision mitica, es decir, la vision del mundo que ha tenido la humanidad desde su aparicion hasta la reciente irrupcion de la ciencia y el pensamiento cientifico. Apoyandose en ejemplos del culto en las mas diversas religiones, el autor concluye que la cosmovision mitica es la fuente de inspiracion de las religiones, incluyendo el culto, las fiestas, las ceremonias y los ritos y muchas tradiciones culturales.

Um bruxo amaldiçoado embarca em uma busca pelos ingredientes de um feitiço de resultado incerto. Em seu caminho, ele enfrenta criaturas escondidas em lugares esquecidos; sombras e guardies de coisas que ja existiram. Isso o forçara a enfrentar o passado que o persegue: um crime que no pode ser perdoado."Cria corvos e eles te arrancaro teus olhos" e uma historia de fantasia gotica: magia, bruxaria e seres mitologicos, desenhada em alto nivel e alimentada por sentimentos obscuros, que surpreende por sua capacidade simbolica e guardar resquicios para a esperança.

O que parece ser o fim, muitas vezes, é apenas o início. E o que parece ser irremediavelmente um tormento, normalmente é a feliz chance do recomeço. A Lei é sempre justa, e não há como dela escapar.
