The twenty-first century could well be Jung's century, just as the twentieth century was Freud's. Jung predicted the demise of secular humanism and claimed we would search for alternatives to science, atheism and reason. We would experience a new and even unfashionable appetite for the sacred. Educated people, however, would not return to unreconstructed religions, because these do not express the life of the spirit as discerned by modern consciousness. The sacred has developed a darker hue, and worshipping symbols of light and goodness no longer satisfies the longings of the soul. The new sacred cannot be contained by the formulas of the past, but nor can we live without a sense of the sacred. We stand in a difficult place: between traditional religions we have outgrown and a pervasive materialism we can no longer embrace. These changes in our culture have come sooner than Jung might have imagined. In his time Jung struck many as eccentric or unscientific. But his works speak to our time since we have experienced the full gamut of Jungian transformations: the unsettlement of Judeo-Christian culture, the rise of the feminine, the onslaught of the dark side, the critique of modernism and positivism, and the recognition that the Western ego is neither the pinnacle of evolution nor the lord of creation. A new life is needed beyond the ego, but we do not yet know what it will look like. The outbreak of strong religion and terrorism are signs of the times, but these are expressions of a distorted and repressed spirit, and not, one hopes, genuine pointers to the future. What the future holds is uncertain, but Jung's prophetic vision helps to prepare us for what is to come, and this will be of great interest to analytical psychologists and psychoanalysts, as well as to theologians, futurists, sociologists, and the general reader.

Most of the major black literary and cultural movements of the twentieth century have been understood and interpreted as secular, secularizing and, at times, profane. In this book, Josef Sorett demonstrates that religion was actually a formidable force within these movements, animating and organizing African American literary visions throughout the years between the New Negro Renaissance of the 1920s and the Black Arts movement of the 1960s. Sorett unveils the contours of a literary history that remained preoccupied with religion even as it was typically understood by authors, readers, and critics alike to be modern and, therefore, secular. Spirit in the Dark offers an account of the ways in which religion, especially Afro-Protestantism, remained pivotal to the ideas and aspirations of African American literature across much of the twentieth century. From the dawn of the New Negro Renaissance until the ascendance of the Black Arts movement, black writers developed a spiritual grammar for discussing race and art by drawing on terms such as "church" and "spirit" that were part of the landscape and lexicon of American religious history. Sorett demonstrates that religion and spirituality have been key categories for identifying and interpreting what was (or was not) perceived to constitute or contribute to black literature and culture. By examining figures and movements that have typically been cast as "secular," he offers theoretical insights that trouble the boundaries of what counts as "sacred" in scholarship on African American religion and culture. Ultimately, Spirit in the Dark reveals religion to be an essential ingredient, albeit one that was always questioned and contested, in the forging of an African American literary tradition.

Dark spirits. Haunts existing only in tales told to children late at night around the fire. But there are those who believe otherwise, and to find their secrets a marauding wizard will stop at nothing. Summoned by the Count of Velos, the tracker Maraine has been commissioned to pursue the wizard. The trail leads into the goblin lands of the Runik. But what he finds is an old terror left forgotten in a dwarven tomb that has been loosed upon the world. Desperate to survive it, Maraine becomes entangled with a tribe of goblins and partners with its captain, Hezok. Together they track the trail of the dark spirit and discover the true intentions of the marauding wizard. This unlikely union becomes the only chance of stopping the dark spirit and its ceaseless mayhem, if it can be stopped.

The Dark Crescent Sisterhood #4 As Sybils—protector warrior “witches”—they control the Elements...But passion is a force that no one can contain. Captive to temptation, bound by desire... Even Bela Argos, a well-trained Sybil who must harness all of the magic of her warrior sisters, has found the new wave of supernatural attacks to be challenging. And on top of that, she is dealing with Duncan Sharp, the frustratingly sexy NYPD detective who has a small problem—he might,/i> into a demon in the middle of the night and consume Bela while she sleeps. But even the dark energy that fills Duncan can’t hamper the fiery attraction that Bela feels. The demon on Duncan’s back is the soul of a suspected serial killer. Even worse than his “hitchhiker” is the demonic fever that is threating to take over his body completely and overpower Bela in its wake. His only course is to get even with the demons who cursed his blood before it consumes Duncan’s soul, the city he’s trying so hard to protect, and the woman who has stolen his heart. “Fan favorite Windsor returns with a new trilogy set in the same universe as her Bound series. The world of the Dark Crescent Sisterhood remains troubled and a new threat is rising. The main characters here were secondary players in the previous books, and fans will be delighted by the update on former headliners. Windsor’s heroines are once again kicking butt and taking names, all for our enjoyment!” -RT Book Review

"Tales from the crypt with a Celtic twist. Few will ever walk the hills of Ireland or traverse the glens of Scotland without ever having a vague sense that there might be forces about other than the wind or rain. As with mythology in every culture, there are lighter and darker sides to the Celtic tale. This book delves into the dark corners of Celtic mythology and explores how ominous stores from Celtic Europe have even crossed the Atlantic to the new world."--"Irish Echo."

Born into the royal Wittelsbach family of Bavaria, with its legacy of madness, depression and eccentricity, Ludwig II's extravagant and ruinously expensive building projects, coupled with increasingly aberrant behaviour caused the people of his day to wonder. Was Ludwig mad? Was he a genius? Was he just a lonely man, having looked for and given up on love, seeking some kind of spiritual fulfillment? Even today, we wonder. What was the impetus behind his compulsion to build? And was he really insane or a victim of his own government's scheming?

In The Postsecular Sacred: Jung, Soul and Meaning in an Age of Change, David Tacey presents a unique psychological study of the postsecular, adding a Jungian perspective to a debate shaped by sociology, philosophy and religious studies. In this interdisciplinary exploration, Tacey looks at the unexpected return of the sacred in Western societies, and how the sacred is changing our understanding of humanity and culture. Beginning with Jung's belief that the psyche has never been secular, Tacey examines the new desire for spiritual experience and presents a logic of the unconscious to explain it. Tacey argues that what has fuelled the postsecular momentum is the awareness that something is missing, and the idea that this could be buried in the unconscious is dawning on sociologists and philosophers. While the instinct to connect to something greater is returning, Tacey shows that this need not imply that we are regressing to superstitions that science has rejected. The book explores indigenous spirituality in the context of the need to reanimate the world, not by going back to the past but by being inspired by it. There are chapters on ecopsychology and quantum physics, and, using Australia as a case study, the book also examines the resistance of secular societies to becoming postsecular. Approaching postsecularism through a Jungian perspective, Tacey argues that we should understand God in a manner that accords with the time, not go back to archaic, rejected images of divinity. The sacred is returning in an age of terrorism, and this is not without significance in terms of the 'explosive' impact of spirituality in our time. Innovative and relevant to the world we live in, this will be of great interest to academics and scholars of Jungian studies, anthropology, indigenous studies, philosophy, religious studies and sociology due to its transdisciplinary scope. It would also be a useful resource for analytical psychologists, Jungian analysts and psychotherapists. that science has rejected.

I have a knack for getting myself into some bad situations. But waking up partially dead in the Court of Death takes the cake. It's small consolation that my fated mate Tarron is at my side, since it means that he's mostly dead too. To make matters worse, the false queen who plans to destroy both our kingdoms is still alive and regaining her strength. We must work together to return from the dead and stop her from killing thousands--including my sister. Escaping the Court of Death means completing a series of dangerous challenges. When we learn that only one of us can return to earth, true escape becomes impossible.
