Beschreibung

Immortality Tales explores humanity's age-old fascination with eternal life, delving into its impact on mythology, philosophy, and literature. The book examines how the desire to transcend death has shaped cultural narratives and influenced our understanding of human aspirations.

 
Intriguingly, the earliest myths, like the Epic of Gilgamesh, reflect this longing, while philosophical debates question the very desirability of immortality. This interdisciplinary approach provides a comprehensive view, progressing from the origins of immortality beliefs to philosophical implications and literary representations.

 
The book argues that this pursuit, literal or metaphorical, reflects a deep yearning for meaning and legacy. By weaving together insights from history, philosophy, and literature, Immortality Tales offers a unique perspective on how our views on death influence our values and societal structures.

    “Beautifully written, funny, engaging, informative, helpful. Not only will you learn your magical name and how to work the crossroads, but you’ll also come away with reliable knowledge of witch gods, saints, history, and mythology. This book is a call to action: tend to the embers of witchcraft burning within you. Enchantment is the fire that can and will transform the world.” —Amanda Yates Garcia, author of Initiated: Memoir of a Witch and host of the Between the Worlds podcast   Growing up in an endless sea of California suburbs, Asa West spent her childhood chasing visions she didn’t understand. When she found a guide to witchcraft in a tiny bookshop, she knew she’d found her calling. But it’s not easy to awaken your witch blood in a culture that laughs at magic and renders women powerless.   Bringing warmth, humor, and insight to a spiritual path that’s at once immeasurably ancient and continually reborn, Witch Blood Rising explores all the ways that witchcraft bubbles up from the blood of its devotees, from ancient myth to the glittery stories of Hollywood. Asa explores the art of living a witch’s life in all its magical aspects.  Witch Blood Rising is a celebration of witchcraft and how it has stubbornly kept itself alive in Western culture—and a call to action for all seekers who yearn for a witch’s life.

    The Old U(VA) and I: 1961-1965 
    By: Frank Briggs 
    The decade of the 1960s saw sweeping changes at UVA as old barriers fell and students of new backgrounds came. Litigation that lasted from the late 1940s through the end of the 1960s eliminated historic barriers to African American and women students. No detailed UVA-specific narrative has existed until former graduates from two ends of the decade, Joel Gardner, BA 1970, Rebel Yell to Revolution, in 2018 and now Frank Briggs, BA 1965, recognized that the University had changed in the most profound ways and used their own experiences to document what happened. This book will attract anyone who lived through that heady period. It will appeal also to others, to women and men who grew up later, and who may have wondered why and how the good old days ended and America stepped beyond them. Some might say grew up. 
    —John T. Casteen III, President Emeritus, University of Virginia, 1990–2010 
    Frank Briggs’s memoir is a highly entertaining trip in time to an era in UVA history that predated the social upheavals of the late 1960s. We accompany the author through his four years in a cloistered culture of tradition that had not changed over many decades. In a series of revealing and amusing anecdotes, we relive the road trips, party weekends, and collegiate shenanigans that dominated the student experience during that period. This is a must read for every Wahoo who lived through that era or anyone who has an interest in the social history of college life prior to the cultural revolution that swept across the country after Briggs’s graduation. 
    —Joel B. Gardner, Author, From Rebel Yell to Revolution: My Four Years at UVA, 1966–1970
