DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Death. As mortals we long for those who have been separated from us by the veil of death. We venerate ancestors, known and unknown; we grieve for love ones lost; we ready ourselves for death, or fear it deeply as the ultimate unknown. In Hellenic tradition, the god who rules beyond the veil is called many things. Most often, He is referred to as Hades, a name also given to His realm. He is a somber god, for the most part, one too aware of the responsibilities He bears. But He has a queen by His side to share the burden, His beloved Persephone; and a host of attendants, such as the Ferryman, the Lord of Dreams, the Lord of Sleep, Mother Night, and His great three-headed guard dog.In this volume, you will find poems and short stories, essays and rites which honor the God Below, the Lord of Riches, the Bearer of the Helm of Invisibility. For to fail to honor Him, to fail to recognize His inescapability, is to court disaster; even madness. For there is no avoiding death, and someday we shall all find ourselves His subjects.Xaire, Haides and your host of many! May our inevitable knowledge of you not come too swiftly, or be delayed overlong past when mercy is preferable.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →I have two assignments here, one to challenge you that; Men can host God, you can become a mobile Ark. Gather the elements that they gathered, obey what they obeyed and the glory will rest upon you. The same way it rested upon them, the anointing of the Spirit does not work at random. An individual can be a carrier of His presence. You can take that presence everywhere. Anybody who drags you, who is a Philistines will soon know what he carried. You don't have to tell people I'm dangerous. Let the devil try you and what happened to the Philistines when they took the ark, will happen to them. The ark that was not talking was bringing havoc in the camp of the enemy. But when the same ark was taken to the house of Obededom, in 90 days his life and that of his family turned around experientially. That means if you are employed, in three months of you being in that office, there are things that should begin to happen as a testament that the ark has arrived. How do I become a mobile ark? Find out in this book. The participatory role that you have to play, sitting down in waiting for God to do everything is a joke. It took man to build the ark, it will take you to make that place conducive for Him. Men can host God!

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →During the past two generations, there have been many studies on the structure, organization, and "function" of the gods of the Levantine and ancient Near Eastern worlds. In this important study, Lowell Handy provides new directions for thinking on this crucial topic, arguing that the structure of the pantheon worshiped in Syria-Palestine mirrored the social structure of the city-states in that region. While many recent studies have investigated the relations of the gods in both biblical and extra-biblical texts from the area, Handy shows that the pantheon functioned as a bureaucracy. This perspective may well be the primary key for understanding hierarchy among the gods.
