Описание: "Fellwater" is a modern fantasy novel about two lovers caught between two rival factions of an ancient secret society.On the night Katie tried to tell Eric her true feelings, all they did was argue, and she left with a broken heart. But then she met Carlo, a charming, cosmopolitan, and mysterious man from an Italian noble house. In his presence a mystical vision overtook her, and she remembered meeting him before, thousands of years ago, in the ancient Celtic iron age. But she awoke the following morning in a hospital, without knowing how she got there, and she learned that Eric spent the night in jail after being chased by gunmen. All was not as it seemed, and they were both in terrible danger.This is the second edition of this book, re-released after a successful fundraising campaign on Kickstarter.com, which covered the costs of professional editing and design work."Myers' characters inhabit a world rich with political intrigue; the machinations of aristocratic families descended from ancient gods. Fellwater is taut, poignant, and imaginative." - Jordan Stratford, author of "Mechanicals" and "Wollestonecraft""A fresh, original telling of this intriguing theme in a contemporary setting, with enchanting characters you can feel for, fear for, and get caught up in... Myers has painted gorgeous portrait, a landscape of emotion, mythology, and historical mysticism framed by his talented prose." - Mhaoil Lain, Northern Tribes

Описание: What is the ethical significance of the environment? How shall we dwell on, and with, the earth? And what, if anything, do we owe to future generations? "Time and the Land" pursues these questions through each of the four most prominent theories of ethics in the western philosophical tradition: Utilitarianism, Distributive Justice, Kantian Deontology, and Virtue Ethics.For each theory, Derek Parfit's Non-Identity Problem serves as a test case. Parfit showed how some environmental policy decisions might harm no one in the far distant future, even if they produce situations all would agree are intrinsically repugnant. Myers seeks a theory of environmental ethics that not only responds to pressing moral problems in environmental policy, but also avoids the paradox of the Non-Identity Problem. Myers concludes that no single theory by itself can accomplish this task. A synthesis of ethics is required: but Virtue must lead the way. As Virtue is not a 'utility-maximizing' theory, it avoids the Non-Identity Problem. At the same time, its potential for responding to environmental ethics dilemmas is deep. Myers concludes that the aim for a worthwhile human life must include the aim to create and sustain the environmental conditions in which the worthwhile human life is possible and supported. A Virtuous person takes care of the future through aiming at ends which are, while achievable in the present, also temporally continuous and ongoing, even beyond the one's own lifetime. And the future which it is virtuous to aim for is the one which brings out one's best qualities in the course of striving for it.

Описание: "A clear, accessible, and forthright exploration of Celtic tradition as the foundation of a personal path of mystical transformation that's profoundly relevant to the problems and possibilities of the modern world. This is a book I would be delighted to recommend to my students, to members of my Druid order, and to anyone interested in Celtic spirituality as a living path for today." --John Michael Greer, former Grand Archdruid, Ancient Order of Druids in America and author of The Druidry Handbook

The Druids were the mystics, philosophers, and magicians of the ancient Celtic world. Their spirituality was borne from their near-worship of poetry and music, their warrior prowess, and the world of nature. The Mysteries of Druidry reveals this mystical romanticism as it was in ancient times, and shows various ways to bring it to life today. It includes:

• A professionally researched survey of Druidic history, tradition, and customs.
• Detailed descriptions of the mysteries of Celtic spirituality, including the Sacred Truth, the Great Marriage, the Hero's Journey, and the Otherworld.
• Practical guidance for meditation and ceremony, for individuals and for groups.
• The Celtic story of the creation of the world, presented together with a plan for re-enacting the story in ritual.
