Sinossi

"Shadow Gods" explores the intriguing world of dark deities and their significant influence on ancient religious traditions. It argues that understanding gods of death, chaos, and transgression is crucial for a complete picture of ancient belief systems. These figures, often representing humanity's deepest fears, reveal how ancient societies grappled with universal anxieties like death and the unknown. For example, deities like Hades and Anubis played key roles in funerary rites and conceptions of the afterlife, highlighting the psychological impact of mortality. The book examines various shadow gods across mythologies, drawing from ancient texts, archaeological findings, and scholarly research. It begins by introducing comparative mythology and historical contexts, then progresses through themes of death, chaos, and transgression. Deities such as Set and Loki are analyzed to uncover their roles in embodying societal fears and challenging social norms. This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of how ancient religions used these figures to address the darker aspects of human existence, offering a unique perspective for those interested in religion and history.

Natalie Bennett

A practical and hopeful guide for anyone who wants a route map to a fairer, greener future.

'Every so often, a book comes along that articulates exactly what our country needs. This is one. Essential reading' Zack Polanski

We are living in a social, political, economic and environmental emergency. The status quo is profoundly unstable; change is inevitable. Now is the time to get together to build a far healthier and more balanced world.

The decades-old political orthodoxy - that greed is good, inequality doesn't matter and we can keep treating the planet as a mine and a dumping ground - has been a recipe for disaster. Our world needs a new vision, the Green vision. From Universal Basic Income to fee education, from less stuff but more life, to genuine democratic opportunities for all, Natalie Bennett brings together a holistic, hopeful and practical vision for the future.

The foundations of Change Everything are conversations with many thousands of people. We need to engage millions to bring together the imagination, talents and energy of all in order to build and repair our societies. Then a positive future is within our reach.

'Every so often, a book comes along that articulates exactly what our country needs. This is one. Essential reading' Zack Polanski

'If charm and enthusiasm were enough to win over more reluctant citizens to a programme of radical change, Natalie Bennett would be a strong contender for the challenge. Change Everything is essentially a manifesto - delivered with great gusto - of what a green perspective would look like across a wide array of subjects' Ros Coward, The Ecologist

'The real joy of this book is to be found in the breadth of Baroness Bennett's reading and experiences. It's a well-grounded text, a hallmark of a committed radical' Liam Byrne, Politics Home
