The Science of Monsters: Why Monsters Came to be and What Made Them So Terrifying

Modern audiences do not find dragons frightening Fascinating as mythical creatures, yes, but terrifying, no Yet, present them with a story about a virus that can kill a healthy adult in hours and they will have nightmares for weeks The difference between the two is believability Monsters are at their most frightening when they carry characteristics that tie them to the real world in some way

Preposterous as they might seem today, dragons were no different in ancient times Humans long ago stumbled upon skeletons that had sharp teeth and talon-like claws These fossils were real and some were frighteningly large Those who looked at them could only guess at how dangerous the animals that they belonged to must have been From such interactions, dragons were born Yet, in spite of ample physical evidence that dragons existed, none were ever seen in the flesh Dragon bones were ultimately proven to be the bones of huge predatory dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex, but before the mystery was solved, they were the makings of frightening beasts that managed to evade human sight by lurking deep within the shadows of the wild

‘The Science of Monsters’ will explore monsters that have haunted humanity throughout the ages, from Medusa to sea serpents, giants, and vampires In each chapter Kaplan uses scientific principles, current research, and his thorough knowledge of the natural world to explain why specific monsters came to be and what it was about them that was so terrifying to the people who brought them to life

Drawing on his private collection of medieval manuscripts as well as his privileged access to the rare book archives of major European universities, Claude Lecouteux provides a comprehensive history of the use of talismans and amulets for protection, healing, and divine influence He explores their use in the Western Mystery Tradition as well as Eastern and Middle Eastern beliefs about these magical objects and their incorporation–despite Church anathema–into the Christian tradition of Medieval Europe Reviewing many different kinds of amulets and talismans used throughout the ages, such as a rabbit’s foot, horseshoe, gris-gris bag, or an inscribed parchment charged through ritual, he details the principles and symbology behind each object and shows that their use is still as widespread today as any time in the past

Zecharia Sitchin
The Cosmic Code

Daring to challenge our long-held beliefs about the origins of man, Zecharia Sitchin suggests that humans are not the children of God, but rather the children of the Anunnaki, an ancient race from the planet Nibiru His revolutionary theories are supported by his intense scrutiny of not only ancient Sumerian texts but also stone structures all over the world

Ronald Decker
The Esoteric Tarot: Ancient Sources Rediscovered in Hermeticism and Cabalah

That the Tarot originated in ancient Egypt as a divinatory tool is a romantic misconception Ron Decker’s meticulous scholarship will surprise practitioners and academics alike, revealing the Tarot’s true evolution and meanings as its inventor(s) understood it

The Tarot consists of the Minor Arcana, four suits of cards similar to our modern deck, and the Major Arcana, twenty-two allegorical or “trump” cards Decker says the four-suit deck was invented in Asia Minor before AD 1000; Italian courtiers added the trumps in the 1400s But Tarot was first used as a game Tarot divination was only created in the 1700s by a Parisian fortuneteller who based the trump images on Hermeticism, which merges Greco-Egyptian alchemy, astrology, numerology, magic, and mysticism Today, the suit-cards are often traced to the ancient Jewish Cabala But, says Decker, they, too, acquired their meanings only in the 1700s, and he cites a lost numerical system based on Cabala at that time

Decker’s interpretation integrates three whole systems-astrological, arithmological, mystagogical (concerning initiation rites into the Mysteries) His depth of knowledge makes the book a must-have for serious students of Tarot and esotericism
