Synopsis

Discover the strange legends, tales and history of Wales.
 
Did the Welsh sail across the Atlantic in the 12th century?
 
Was King Arthur Welsh?
 
Included are stories on ghosts - both real and fake - and the legend of King Arthur. Welsh animal lore, customs, monsters and music are also examined. One of the strangest villages in the world gets a chapter to itself, as do witches, miners and druids.
 
The book is written in a personal, light-hearted style, with geographical references to help identify the places. Although the stories are intended to entertain as much as educate, the historical facts are accurate.
 
Hopefully, you will come away with a different view on Wales - and a smile on your face.

    Finnish mythology is filled with stories from northern gods and goddesses, magical animals and feisty forest spirits. Finland was an agricultural society for hundreds of years and before that the inhabitants were hunter-gatherers. Our mythology and folktales are intertwined with the surrounding nature, clear lakes, northern lights and the forest, which was the home of all kinds of mysterious events. In this book you will become familiar with old Finnish gods and goddesses and ancient festivals. We will go through different deities that represent different seasons. All of these gods and goddesses have different messages for us and they can teach us valuable lessons, about ourselves, nature around us, and the universse.   
    Summer Solstice was the time to honor the thunder god Ukko, who brought the rain and life with him. This was the time to party and be merry. All kinds of spells and magic was performed during this magical day. The biggest festival of the year, however was the harvest festival Kekri. This was the time when the spirits and ghosts wondered among the living. Ancestors were remembered and they were invited to join the festivities. Many of the modern Finnish Christmas traditions, are in fact, based on the old Kekri celebration. In March when the earth woke up from it's sleep, the goddess Akka was celebrated. Spring equanox was known as matopäivä the day of the snakes. During this day, snakes woke up from hibernation and they danced to honor the earth goddess. 
    This book is perfect for anyone who is fascinated by history, folklore and old European cultures and anyone who is interested in magic, myth and lore. You will learn about ancient customs and traditions and how you can implement these teachings in your personal life. 
    Niina is a folklorist and mythology researcher. She has created multiple courses on her native Finnish folklore.

    Camille Pissarro - The Audacity...

    From the acclaimed biographer and author of Balzac's Omelette, an engaging new work on the life of "the father of Impressionism" and the role his Jewish background played in his artistic creativity. 
     
     
     
    The celebrated painter Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) occupied a central place in the artistic scene of his time: a founding member of the new school of French painting, he was a close friend of Monet, a longtime associate in Degas's and Mary Cassatt's experimental work, a support to Cézanne and Gauguin, and a comfort to Van Gogh, and was backed by the great Parisian art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel throughout his career. Nevertheless, he felt a persistent sense of being set apart, different, and hard to classify. Settled in France from the age of twenty-five but born in the Caribbean, he was not French and what is more he was Jewish. Although a resolute atheist who never interjected political or religious messages in his art, he was fully aware of the consequences of his lineage. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on Pissarro's considerable body of work and a vast collection of letters that show his unrestrained thoughts, Anka Muhlstein offers a nuanced, intimate portrait of the artist whose independent spirit fostered an environment of freedom and autonomy.

    I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
    The issues in this ebook concern various aspects of protecting your family and home and related ideas is organised into 15 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about their safety.  
    There has always been an unacceptable amount of burglary. It is such a harrowing experience to be burgled. People are forced to accept that they are not safe even in their own homes. 
    In the days of larger families, it was not easy for the burglar. There was always someone at home, and usually several people. Burglars would be detected and easily overpowered. Nowadays, on the other hand, many people live alone, and many of those are elderly baby-boomers. 
    It can induce a permanent state of worry and anxiety. 
    One way around this, is to implement a home security system. They are actually quiet affordable now too. A decent home security system, coupled with friendly neighbours, is an affordable solution. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first. 
    In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.
