The Ancient Mysteries: A Sourcebook of Sacred Texts
£19.34Zeus and the other gods of shining Olympus were in reality divine only by popular consent. Over the course of time Olympian luster diminished in favor of religious experiences more immediate to the concerns of people living in an increasingly cosmopolitan ancient world. These experiences were provided by the mysteries, religions that flourished particularly during the Hellenistic period and were secretly practiced by groups of adherents who decided, through personal choice, to be initiated into the profound realities of one deity or another. Unlike the official state religions, in which people were expected to make an outward show of allegiance to the local gods, the mysteries emphasized an inwardness and privacy of worship within a closed band of initiates.
In this book, Marvin W. Meyer explores the sacrifices and prayers, the public celebrations and secret ceremonies, the theatrical performances and literary works, the gods and goddesses that were a part of the mystery religions of Greece in the seventh century B.C. to the Judaism and Christianity of the Roman world of the seventh century A.D.
Mythica: A New History of Homer’s World, Through the Women Written Out of It
£19.65Did you love Madeline Miller’s Circe? Pat Barker’s The Silence of the Girls? Jennifer Saint’s Elektra? Natalie Haynes’ A Thousand Ships?
But did you ever wonder who the real women behind the myths of the Trojan War were?
Now award-winning classicist and historian Emily Hauser takes readers on an epic journey to uncover the astonishing true story of the real women behind ancient Greece’s greatest legends – and the real heroes of those ancient epics, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.
Because, contrary to perceptions built up over three millennia, ancient history is not all about men – and it’s not only men’s stories that deserve to be told . . .
In Mythica Emily Hauser tells, for the first time, the extraordinary stories of the real women behind some of the western world’s greatest legends. Following in their footsteps, digging into the history behind Homer’s epic poems, piecing together evidence from the original texts, recent astonishing archaeological finds and the latest DNA studies, she reveals who these women – queens, mothers, warriors, slaves – were, how they lived, and how history has (or has not – until now) remembered them.
A riveting new history of the Bronze Age Aegean and a journey through Homer’s epics charted entirely by women – from Helen of Troy, Briseis, Cassandra and Aphrodite to Circe, Athena, Hera, Calypso and Penelope – Mythica is a ground-breaking reassessment of the reality behind the often-mythologized women of Greece’s greatest epics, and of the ancient world itself as we learn ever more about it.

Serbia’s Hidden Past: From the First Europeans to Modern Times: A Journey into the Lost History of Serbia and the Balkans
£19.99For centuries, mainstream history has often overlooked or misrepresented the significance of Serbian archaeological sites. The deliberate flooding of Lepenski Vir, the lack of proper excavation at Vinča, and the industrial developments at Viminacium raise questions about why these places have not received the attention they deserve. Were these events simply coincidental, or do they point to a broader effort to suppress historical truths? This book will examine these patterns, exploring the possibility that Serbia’s ancient past holds discoveries that challenge conventional historical narratives. By following a chronological timeline, we will trace the development of human civilisation in Serbia from the first known European settlers to modern times. The journey begins with the earliest human presence in the region, as evidenced by Neanderthal and early Homo sapiens remains found in caves such as Pešturina and Velika Balanica. These discoveries suggest that early humans inhabited the region far earlier than traditionally acknowledged, with genetic links to both Western European and Asian populations.

As Graham Hancock famously said, Humanity is a species with amnesia. The purpose of forgetting, the reason for the amnesia, is to get us to focus on the matter. Focus on the matter creates a mission that must be accomplished with the time given here.
Time does not stop moving, whether you want to or not it forces us to make a choice. We cannot do all things because that would be another godlike quality.
What we decide to focus on either aligns with our true self and the desire for a certain experience, or a fake identity we manufacture to help someone else realize their dream.
My sincerest wish in writing this is that something within these pages will allow you to realize yours.
Recognize what is in your sight. That which is hidden from you will become plain to you.
Uncovering Celtic Mythology: A Beginner’s Guide Into The World Of Celtic Myths, Fairy Tales, Folklore, Warriors, Celtic Gods and Creatures (Ancient History Books)
£22.52In 58 BCE, when Julius Caesar – the famous Roman general – wrote a commentary on the Gallic wars, he described the “Celt” speaking people who lived in the area then known as the Gaul.
These people had their own culture, gods, and beliefs – called Celtic Mythology – which were very different from the Romans.
The influence of this mythology, however, was not limited to a small territory. This culture spread across Europe, especially to the western nations of Britain, Ireland, France, and Spain.
The legacy of Celts is still alive, and you may even have encountered these traces of Celtic culture:
- The languages spoken by modern-day Irish, Scottish, and Welsh people
- King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
- The legends and pop-culture depictions of the shrieking spirit of Banshee
- Conan the Barbarian, a very famous character appearing in films as well as comics
- Bran Stark, from Game of Thrones, who becomes the Three-eyed Raven
The above examples are just a handful of successors from the ancient Celtic culture, and the last two draw direct inspiration from Celtic mythology.
And there’s even more from where those came from…
In Uncovering Celtic Mythology, you will discover:
- A comprehensive, beginner-friendly guide to understanding the world of Celtic Mythology
- The origins and culture of the Celtic people that inhabited Western Europe since the Iron Age
- Symbolisms and Beliefs: explore creation myths, sacred trees, sacred festivals, and more!
- Irish and Welsh Mythologies (and how they continue the folkloric traditions of the Celts)
- The Great Cycles – relive the 4 great sagas that form the mythological history of Ireland’s Celtic people
- A curated collection of folktales that form an important part of Irish and Welsh mythologies
- 50+ character profiles – enjoy a lively cast of well known mythical heroes, gods, and goddesses
- Over 30 different creatures – legendary monsters and mythical beings – waiting for you
- How the Legend of King Arthur links with Celtic Mythology
And much more.
The Celtic culture, practices, beliefs, and myths are not just records of a bygone era… They are also examples of resilient traditions that continue to inspire mankind even in modern times.

The Book of Symbols. Reflections on Archetypal Images
£23.91The Book of Symbols combines original and incisive essays about particular symbols with representative images from all parts of the world and all eras of history. The highly readable texts and over 800 beautiful full-color images come together in a unique way to convey hidden dimensions of meaning. Each of the ca. 350 essays examines a given symbol’s psychic background, and how it evokes psychic processes and dynamics. Etymological roots, the play of opposites, paradox and shadow, the ways in which diverse cultures have engaged a symbolic image―all these factors are taken into consideration.
Authored by writers from the fields of psychology, religion, art, literature, and comparative myth, the essays flow into each other in ways that mirror the psyche’s unexpected convergences. There are no pat definitions of the kind that tend to collapse a symbol; a still vital symbol remains partially unknown, compels our attention and unfolds in new meanings and manifestations over time. Rather than merely categorize, The Book of Symbols illuminates how to move from the visual experience of a symbolic image in art, religion, life, or dreams to directly experiencing its personal and psychological resonance.
The Book of Symbols sets new standards for thoughtful exploration of symbols and their meanings, and will appeal to a wide range of readers: artists, designers, dreamers and dream interpreters, psychotherapists, self-helpers, gamers, comic book readers, religious and spiritual searchers, writers, students, and anyone curious about the power of archetypal images.
