Synopsis

"Folk Belief Systems" explores the persistent influence of traditional beliefs on modern societies, revealing how these ancient worldviews continue to shape legal frameworks and cultural customs. The book argues that many contemporary laws and social practices are not solely products of modern thought but are also influenced by belief systems passed down through generations. For example, ancestor veneration can significantly affect inheritance laws, while cosmological beliefs may underpin environmental regulations. 

 
The book examines folk belief systems, traditional beliefs, and cultural practices across various cultures, highlighting how they manifest in legal systems, cultural customs, rituals, and social norms. By drawing from ethnographic studies, legal documents, and historical records, the book demonstrates the tangible influence of these beliefs. It challenges the notion that modernity has completely supplanted traditional worldviews, emphasizing the importance of understanding this heritage for interpreting present-day societal structures.

 
The book progresses from introducing the fundamental concepts of folk belief systems to exploring case studies that illustrate their impact on legal systems and cultural customs related to birth, marriage, death, and social interactions. Ultimately, it presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the ongoing relationship between traditional beliefs and modern society, offering insights for policymakers, educators, and anyone interested in the cultural forces shaping our world.

    For readers who enjoy a dark and mysterious plot with their sexy books, comes the final installment of this kinky m/m ( m/m/m & m/m/m/m/m) series inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe story, “The Fall of the House of Usher.” 
    In the conclusion of this kinky queer dark erotic romance, Alexander embraces a more dominant but equally submissive role within the House of Otter. Taking charge of even more boys as they join the strict order of the manor, Alexander complies with the demands of the master of the mansion as he continues to struggle with his deep sexual desires. 
    Deception from more than one man, and a passionate need for all of them, cloud his judgement as expectations and punishments swell. Friends become lovers as well as enemies while the whispers within the house grow louder, beckoning Alexander to fulfill a looming destiny he does not yet understand. 
    Color-coordinated jockstraps and harnesses, hairy chests in fetish gear, Daddy and boy dynamics, gay trans men, power exchange, mm, mmm, orgies, group play, nipple play, toys, sounding rods, and so much more lead up to one ultimate decision for Alexander. 
    With time running out, he must choose between his love for his friends, his keeper, and himself as he decides if the sexual lust he’s being offered tastes best paired with love or money. 
    It’s Edgar Allan Poe but with a queer kinky twist! 
    This MM BDSM Paranormal Dark Erotic Romance takes consent seriously. No otter boys were harmed (unless they wanted to be) in the writing of this book.*

    Celia was only fourteen years old when she was acquired by John Newsom, an aging widower and one of the most prosperous and respected citizens of Callaway County, Missouri. The pattern of sexual abuse that would mark their entire relationship began almost immediately. After purchasing Celia in a neighboring county, Newsom raped her on the journey back to his farm. He then established her in a small cabin near his house and visited her regularly. Over the next five years, Celia bore Newsom two children; meanwhile, she became involved with a slave named George and resolved at his insistence to end the relationship with her master. When Newsom refused, Celia one night struck him fatally with a club and disposed of his body in her fireplace. 
     
     
     
    Her act quickly discovered, Celia was brought to trial. She received a surprisingly vigorous defense from her court-appointed attorneys. Nevertheless, the court upheld the tenets of a white social order that wielded almost total control over the lives of slaves. Celia was found guilty and hanged. 
     
     
     
    Melton A. McLaurin uses Celia's story to reveal the tensions that strained the fabric of antebellum southern society. Celia's case demonstrates how one master's abuse of power over a single slave forced whites to make moral decisions about the nature of slavery.

    In 1945 Tom Pocock travelled widely and saw the final collapse of the German armies; the horror of concentration camps and destroyed cities; retribution reaching war criminals; and the unpredictable strangers from the east, the Red Army. In Berlin, he climbed through the ruins of Hitler's Chancellery. In Vienna, he roistered with the Russians only to be arrested by them on a trip to Budapest. By the end of the year, he had paid his first visit to the El Dorado of that now distant world, New York, the glittering, happy, prosperous, democratic center of hopes and affections of the Western World. 
     
     
     
    Here indeed is the very form and pressure of the time: the awful stench of death and wholesale destruction; the casual murders and cruelties where over large tracts of territory law and order had collapsed; worst of all, the concentration camps still peopled by the ghosts of human beings, starved, tortured, terrified, and degraded. 
     
     
     
    Tom Pocock's friends had served and died in the war from which he himself had been invalided, but when Hitler was defeated, he shared their feelings of exultation and relief. He was in London for VE Day and his account of it is not easily forgotten.

    There, over seventy thousand Southern troops waged a dogged, bloody battle against over ninety thousand Union soldiers in the fields and on the boulder-strewn heights surrounding the town.
