More than six centuries ago a stranger stumbled on a village in a remote valley in Northern Italy, seeking refuge from vengeance in the world outside. But there was something different about the valley, something strange about its people. Nothing was as it seemed. Did chance take him there, or were greater forces at work, calling him to play a role? Guided by fate, he would find himself at the center of an ancient mystery--and for a time the heritage of civilizations would rest in his hands. Before he was done, he would devise a gift like none before and vanish into history, leaving behind the seeds of rebirth and hope for future generations... Sanctuary of the Gods is vividly told, bringing history to life for its readers. The main story takes place at the dawn of the Renaissance, when European civilization was beginning its painful rise back towards the heights it had achieved in the days of Greece and Rome. There are also three detailed flashbacks to earlier periods: -A similar time more than 2,000 years before, when Greek civilization first began -The high point of Greek civilization in the age of Alexander The Great -Rome's decline, in the years following the Empire's conversion to Christianity. Sanctuary of the Gods is a story of survival against all odds, of human triumph over death and annihilation. It shows how a tiny village in Northern Italy became the last secret sanctuary of the old pagan religion, surviving through nine hundred years in hiding only to perish in the Black Death that swept Europe in 1348, and how, in those dark and terrifying days, a handful of survivors created the Tarot cards so that the heart of their religion would not perish with the sanctuary, but would survive in a hostile world, its origins forgotten, until the time was right for its rediscovery. For readers who are intrigued by the story and want to get to the heart of it, to discover the truth behind the things they've read, an appendix is provided. There, in 120 pages complemented by numerous illustrations, what at first seems too incredible to be anything but fiction is transformed by the evidence into compelling fact. Sanctuary is beautifully written with a clarity that brings the past to life and holds the reader's interest from beginning to end. For a Pagan or Tarot enthusiast, or for lovers of historical fiction, its appeal is apparent. But the story is powerful, and even readers who have never been interested in these subjects will find the book hard to put down. It gains the readers's attention because the characters and scenes described are lively and interesting, and because its vision is fresh and new, entirely unexpected. Be prepared for some surprises: the view from the Sanctuary is not like anything you have ever seen before...

Cult activity played an extremely important role in ancient Greece--to the point, historians believe, that the placing of cult centers played a major part in establishing the whole concept of the city-state in archaic Greece. The essays in this collection critically examine the social and political importance of sanctuary placement, extending the analysis back to Mycenean Greece and on to Greece under Roman occupation. Revealing the complexity of relations between religion and politics in ancient Greece, these essays show how important tradition, gender relations, and cult identity were in creating and maintaining the religious mapping of the ancient Greek countryside.

What do you do when you find out that, not only, are the stories that you've always believed to be only myths and legends true, but that you are destined to be part of them?

They are descendants of Greek Gods and Goddesses, fated to be Guardians; protectors of the world and all supernatural and mortal beings in it. But first, they'll have to learn to harness their newly discovered powers; thank the Gods there's a place for them to train.

However, no Guardian has ever returned from a battle against the Shadow Master. Do Telara, Tia, Chance, Vanna, Chad, and IQ have what it takes to win against this great evil, or will they fall like all the others who came before them?

Spirit of Heroes Book 3 of the Heroes Series Noah "No" Argentar is the new leader of the group of heroes known as The Faction. They have defeated the Nephilim, but the Great Tribulation has begun and an even more dangerous enemy is now loose in the world - the dark gods. No's investigation of a string of seemingly unsolvable rabbi murders leads him back into contact with his estranged father. The young hero discovers there was more to his father's life than he could ever have imagined. The story of their ancestor, the patriarch Levi and his association with The Faction may hold the key to the plans of the dark gods. Walter Wilson is a disturbed teen who has been fighting invisible battles. No has already recruited two new troublesome members into The Faction, but Walter may prove to be the most dangerous of them all. Meanwhile, an alien race has been contacting Sabrina in her dreams. As she struggles to understand their history, she must determine if they're friend or foe. She knows it won't be long until they want something from her. Ultimately, No, Sabrina, and the rest of The Faction must confront the greatest riddle mankind has never solved - why was Lucifer convinced he could conquer heaven and could the dark gods succeed where Lucifer failed?

The rock sanctuary of Yazilikaya is one of the most important ritual sites of the Late Bronze Age in Turkey. Its walls are decorated with unique rock-cut reliefs: over ninety male and female deities, animals and mythical beings - more than half of all known Hittite reliefs. The sanctuary once lay on the outskirts of Hattusa, capital of the Hittite Empire, in central Anatolia. The German Archaeological Institute has been excavating here since 1931 and the rock sanctuary of Yazilikaya has been thoroughly investigated in the process. While scientific literature is plentiful, what is lacking is a "complete Yazilikaya": a comprehensively illustrated publication in English intended both for experts and the broader reading public. This book is intended to fill that gap. It offers the reader a virtual tour of the sanctuary and can also serve as a guidebook for visitors to the site. At the same time it summarizes the results of earlier excavations as well as the latest research. Lavishly illustrated with spectacular new photographs of the rock massif, it contains a detailed description of the rock chambers with the reliefs and the accompanying temple buildings. This section is followed by chapters reconstructing the history of the sanctuary and discussing its still mysterious function. Other chapters focus on the Hittites and their capital city, the discovery of the site and its research history and much more besides - with the aim of bringing the ancient monument vividly to life before the reader's eyes.

"God's Sanctuary" is the result of many years interest in the study of the Tabernacle. Over the years Bob Raven became increasingly uneasy about some of the accepted tabernacle teaching expressed in various books and models, particularly in the finer details. This led him to spend two winters in seclusion, with only his Newberry Bible and a Strong's Concordance, seeking to unravel some of its teaching.
