Summary

Fire Rituals explores the pervasive use of fire, purification, and offerings in religious rituals across diverse cultures and throughout world history. It examines how these elements shape religious experiences and understanding, highlighting their enduring power. The book argues these aren't just symbolic gestures; they actively construct the relationship between humanity and the divine, fostering transformation and renewal.For instance, the book details how purification rituals, like water rites, serve not only physical but also spiritual cleansing. The book progresses by first examining fire's elemental symbolism across various religious contexts. It then delves into purification rituals and finally analyzes divine offerings, from sacrifices to modern charitable giving.By drawing from archaeological records, sacred texts, and ethnographic studies, Fire Rituals provides a comparative analysis of religious traditions. This approach reveals how the human impulse to connect with the divine manifests through tangible ritual action, challenging purely theoretical interpretations of religion.

    An MDLG and ABDL themed love story for the age play fetishist. 
    Please note: This book contains content only appropriate for individuals interested in the MDLG subgroup of BDSM. It includes kink related themes, lactation, sex with a strap on, psychological power-play both sexual and non-sexual, sub-training in deep throating and re-conditioning using domination techniques with little space as a reward, and punishment by flogging and forced orgasms utilizing a sex dungeon. Mild degradation and a fast-moving relationship that explores when a limit is pushed too far. 
    The story is a work of fiction, and although based on multiple personal experiences, Tina Moore does not assume to speak for the entire community. She also believes that the kink is as broad and diverse as the consenting adults who engage in it, and thus there is not a ‘correct’ way to be a consenting adult involved in age play and/or regression. 
    Tina Moore would like to thank all her loyal, supportive, and loving fans. She wishes you every happiness and success and hopes that you stay safe, calm, and healthy.

    So ancient was Totemism in Egypt that the Totems of the human Mothers had become the signs of Goddesses, in whom the head of the beast was blended with the figure of the human female. The Totems of the human Mothers had attained the highest status as Totems of a Motherhood that was held to be divine, the Motherhood in Nature which was elemental in its origin. --from "Totemism, Tattoo and Fetishism as Forms of Sign Language" It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a "hidden history" of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey's massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World--first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar--redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 2 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey reads the prehistoric story of human civilization that can be studied in the language of ceremonial rites, ancient customs, and ritual dance, and consequently explores the resultant concept that religion evolved out of expressions of human fertility and sexuality--particularly as embodied in the primeval symbols of blood, sacrifice, and motherhood--and formed the first influences on Judeo-Christianity. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.

    First published in 1925, The City is a trailblazing text in urban history, urban sociology, and urban studies. Its innovative combination of ethnographic observation and social science theory epitomized the Chicago school of sociology. Robert E. Park, Ernest W. Burgess, and their collaborators were among the first to document the interplay between urban individuals and larger social structures and institutions, seeking patterns within the city’s riot of people, events, and influences. As sociologist Robert J. Sampson notes in his new foreword, though much has changed since The City was first published, we can still benefit from its charge to explain where and why individuals and social groups live as they do.
