Roman Republican Augury: Freedom and Control proposes a new way of understanding augury, a form of Roman state divination designed to consult the god Jupiter. Previous scholarly studies of augury have tended to focus either upon its legal-constitutional aspects (especially its place in defining, structuring, and circumscribing the precise constitutional powers of magistrates), or upon its role in maintaining and perpetuating Roman social and political structures (primarily as a tool of the elite). This volume makes a new and original contribution to the study of Roman religion, theology, politics, and cultural history by challenging the prevailing view that official divination was organized to produce only the results its users wanted, and focusing instead upon what it can tell us about how the Romans understood their relationship with their gods. Rather than supposing that augury, like other forms of Roman public divination, told Romans what they wanted to hear, it argues that augury in both theory and practice left space for perceived expressions of divine will which contradicted human wishes, and that its rules and precepts did not allow human beings simply to create or ignore signs at will. Analysis of the historical evidence for Romans receiving, and heeding, signs which would seem to have conflicted with their own desires allows the Jupiter whom they approached in augury to emerge as not simply a source of power to be tapped and channelled to human ends, but as a person with his own interests and desires, which did not always overlap with those of his human enquirers. When human and divine will clashed, it was the will of Jupiter, not that of the man consulting him, which was supposed to prevail. In theory as in practice, it was the Romans, not their supreme god, who were 'bound' by the auguries and auspices.

The world is a work of art that gives birth to itself! According to my favourite philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, art is the fundamental metaphysical activity of man; art is the highest form of human activity. He also urges one to not just endure their suffering but to embrace it; and turn it into art and beauty. As I am setting forth into the twilight of my life, I have been searching for things with pith and substance, a deeper meaning of life. These compositions are my humble attempts at creating art for they are products of my urge for emotional expression and indulgence in theatrical excitement. It is a genuine attempt to sluice away all the emotions that I have kept bottled up in me for too long and thereby attain catharsis or purification. I have tried to diligently articulate and judiciously animate all my forlorn reflections and propitious contemplations while navigating this intricate labyrinth called life. The aesthetic illustrations that you will find in this book bring my words to life in the most profound way. I am eternally grateful for the nous and flair of a gifted artist and friend Hari PG.

Previous scholarly studies of augury have tended to focus either upon its legal-constitutional effects or upon its role in maintaining and perpetuating Roman social and political structures. This volume makes a new contribution to the study of Roman religion, politics, and cultural history by focusing instead upon what augury can tell us about how Romans understood their relationship with their gods. Augury is often thought to have told Romans what they wanted to hear.

AUGURY interweaves the essentials of a magnificent historical event with memorable characters to tell a story of high drama, heroism, honor, and triumph of the human spirit against overwhelming odds. It is a story about the obligations of friendship and a young man´s rite of passage that will for him and for his enemy, change their lives in mysterious, redemtive, and terrible ways. AUGURY derives its power and sweep in the clash of peoples of transcendent moment in America´s ´winning of the West´, forever changing the fortunes of two cultures and all those caught-up in the folly of violence, ignorance and prejudice. AUGURY sustains the hope that love lost may be found anew no matter how grievous the tragedy, how terrible the transgression of heart...and trust.

Set primarily in Mexico and the American Northwest, yet equally at home with Achilleus on the Trojan plains or with Walt Whitman in his New Jersey home, these fifteen essays pass back and forth across international boundaries as easily as they cross the more fluid lines separating past and present. Part biography, part history, Augury is also something of a writer's journal, a guide to Garrison's imaginative journeys.

From award-winning poet and author of Crow-Work, a collection exploring the presence of the divine in the seemingly ordinary. The ancient Romans practiced augury, reading omens in bird’s flight patterns. In the poems of Augury, revelation is found in nature’s smallest details: a lizard’s quick movements, a tree scarred by lighting, the white curve of a snail’s shell. Here the sensory world and the imagined one collide in unexpected and wonderful ways, as Pankey scrutinizes the physical for meaning, and that meaning for truth. With uncommon grace, each of Pankey’s precise lyrics advances our shared ontological questions and expresses our deepest contradictions. In a world of mystery, should we focus on finding meaning or creating it? How can the known—and the unknown— be captured in language? Augury is a masterful and magical collection from a poet of stirring intelligence, “a book of stones unstitched from the wolf’s belly.” Praise for Augury “A darkly luminous book by a poet at the height of his considerable poetic power.” —Kathy Fagan, author of Moving & St. Rage “This is a book I will keep close at hand, alongside the best work of Montale, Dickinson, Celan, and Stevens. This is a book one will turn to again and again.” —Rebecca Dunham, author of Cold Pastoral “Each ethereal image he weaves into his work is delicately curated, whittled down through his attention to sound. . . . Pankey’s poems destabilize as they straddle time and place, and he looks askance at the narrow way in which language is often viewed.” —Publishers Weekly

Idiots have kidnapped Liselle, Child of Flowers and are keeping her prisoner in a ship's cabin where she's unable to access her powers. The main concern of her captors is keeping her alive long enough to accomplish their radical goals.Her disciples, Teluith and Reben, are on their way to rescue her, but they made the mistake of rescuing people who they now need to get to safety.Tathan of the Shadows is also on his way to rescue Liselle, however, he needs to be rescued himself before he can do so. Felina and Steve are going to help with that if they don't die from mortal wounds first. Pelya Jornin isn't even aware that Liselle needs saving, but she'll probably get involved somehow if she can avoid mercenaries and assassins attempting to collect a bounty on her head.Join our intrepid adventurers as auguries lead them across treacherous terrain in the hopes of finding a way to get to Liselle. Along the way, they develop unusual friendships and unhealthy relationships while searching for a ship that's inconveniently on the wrong ocean.The Crazed Series is the continuation of the Wyvern and Willden Trilogies. Beings of great power manipulate the world, sometimes to the benefit of mere mortals, but more often to their detriment. Join the odd and often unwilling heroes of Ryallon as they face threats to humanity.
