Beschreibung

Aztec Time explores how the Aztec civilization meticulously tracked time using a dual-calendar system, deeply entwined with their religious observances and agricultural practices. This system, comprised of the 365-day solar Xiuhpohualli and the 260-day ritual Tonalpohualli, dictated not only the timing of ceremonies but also agricultural cycles and even warfare. The Aztecs' sophisticated timekeeping provides a window into their worldview, showcasing their ability to integrate spiritual beliefs with practical necessities.

 
The book uniquely examines the Aztec calendar as more than just a timekeeping device, presenting it as a framework that structured their entire society and reflected their relationship with the natural world. For instance, the convergence of the two calendars every 52 years marked a period of great cosmological significance.

 
Using archaeological findings, ethnohistorical accounts, and archaeoastronomy, Aztec Time presents a comprehensive overview, beginning with the components of the calendar and progressing through its religious significance, influence on social hierarchies, and its broader legacy in Mesoamerican studies. The arguments are supported by diverse evidence, offering insights into ancient cultures and the development of complex systems of knowledge. By understanding the Aztec calendar, readers gain a deeper appreciation for how this Mesoamerican civilization shaped its world.

    The De Monarchia is one of the main works by Dante Alighieri. It is a treatise on secular and religious power, and more specifically on the relationship between secular authority (represented by the Holy Roman Emperor) and religious authority (represented by the Pope).  The work is composed of three books, in which Dante condemns the theocratic conception of the power elaborated by the Roman Church and defends that both the Pope and the Emperor derive their power from God, and, that being so, God gave to each power in one certain area of life, which means they should not interfere with each other's power and one should not be considered above the other. - Summary by Leni

    Cassandra Snow's groundbreaking Queering the Tarot helped change the shape of tarot discourse for scores of new readers to reclaim this ancient practice in their own way. Tarot in Other Words opens doors for these brilliant tarotists, offering unique insights and concepts for tarot readers of all levels. Queerness will be a thematic thread running throughout the project, with individual essays tackling a variety of topics that expand on that theme in new and compelling ways. 
     
     
      
    Presented in two parts, the anthology comprises ten essays that shine a light on the tarot from multiple queer perspectives. Understanding queerness—and why it matters in tarot—can teach all of us so much about not just gender and sexuality but also how and why we should liberate ourselves in the first place. These essays on queerness show us that who we are is right, beautiful, and sacred. Queerness teaches us to honor differences in others and understand that what is good for one may not be good for all. There is a historical basis for why tarot and queerness go hand in hand: for a lot of cultures, such as the Romani and other oppressed groups forced into nomadic lifestyles, fortune-telling using cards and other tools was and is to this day survival work. This is the same reason we see so many queer, BIPOC, and disabled people take up tarot in the US.
