Helsinki: Finnish Literature Society, 2008. Between 1935 and 1970 the Irish Folklore Commission (Coimisiun Bealoideasa Eireann), under-funded and at great personal cost to its staff, assembled one of the world's largest folklore collections. The cultural, linguistic, political and ideological factors that had a bearing on the establishment and making permanent of the Commission and that impinged on many aspects of its work are here elucidated. This study also deals with the working methods and conditions of employment of the Commission's field and Head Office staff as well with Seamus O Duilearga's direction of the Commission. This work should be of interest not only to students of Irish oral tradition but to folklorists everywhere. The history of the Irish Folklore Commission is a part of a wider history, that of the history of folkloristics in Europe and North America in particular. Moreover, the Irish Folklore Commission maintained contacts with scholars on all five continents, and this work has relevance for many areas of the developing world today, where conditions are not dissimilar to those that pertained in Ireland in the 1930's when this great salvage operation was funded by the young, independent Irish state.535pp.N.B.Slight bump to base of spine..

Helsinki: Finnish Literature Society, 2004. The effects of globalisation and the momentous changes to the political map of Europe have led to a world in which multiculturalism and ethnic differences have become issues of increasing importance. In Nordic countries, relationships between new immigrants, local ethnic groups and majorities are created in ongoing and sometimes heated discussions. In transforming multicultural societies, folklore has taken on new manifestations and meanings. How can folklore studies illuminate the present cultural, political and historical changes? 'Creating Diversities' seeks answers to this question. It emphasises two important factors in the cultural and political exchanges among historical minorities, recent immigrants, and the majority groups dictating the conditions of these exchanges. The first factor is religion, which is a powerful tool in the construction of ethnic selves and in the establishment of boundaries between groups. The second factor is the role of national and regional folklore archives and ethnographic and cultural historical museums which create ideas and images of minorities. These representations, created in different political climates, affect the general understanding of the people depicted. Fifteen well-known folklorists and ethnographers from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and the United States offer insights and background material on these problems. In addition to immigrants and ethnic minorities in the Nordic countries, especially the Sami, examples are sought from among the Finno-Ugrian minorities in Russia and the Nordic population in North America. 307pp..

Kempton, IL, U.S.A.: Adventures Unlimited Press, 2001. In the year 2012 the Earth awaits a super catastrophe: its magnetic field will turn over in one go. Phenomenal earthquakes and tidal waves will completely destroy our civilisation. Europe and North America will shift thousands of kilometres northwards into polar climate. Nearly the whole earth's population will perish in the apocalyptic happenings. These dire predictions stem from Mayans and Egyptians -- descendants of the legendary Atlantis. The Atlanteans had highly evolved astronomical knowledge and were able to exactly calculate the previous world-wide flood in 9792 BC. They built tens of thousands of mandjits and escaped to South America and Egypt. In the year 2012 Venus, Orion and several other stars will take the same 'code positions' as in 9792 BC, the year of the previous cataclysm! For thousands of years historical sources have told of a forgotten time capsule of ancient wisdom located in a mythical labyrinth of secret chambers filled with artefacts and documents from the previous flood -- this book gives one possible location.264pp. .

Florida: Garev Publishing International . The inspiration for this book came to the author after he purchased Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's wallet, untouched since the day he died in 1930, at a Christie's auction in London. This true story is based upon the unique contents, which led the author to begin spiritually communicating with Doyle. Sir Arthur's wish was to enlighten those who have lost their loved ones or feel they are lacking direction in their lives. Through Patrick McNamara, Doyle explains that how we live our lives here on earth affects how we live in the afterlife. Sir Arthur was a great proponent of spiritualism and his consistent goal was to find 'evidence' of the afterlife, which could alleviate anxiety of people as they journeyed through life on earth to the afterlife. By communicating with the author, Conan Doyle provides his knowledge of the afterlife and the new world in which he lives. This is a fascinating and comforting insight for all readers that provides a spiritual philosophy for living. 244pp. ISBN: 9780970755896. Paperback.

USA: Lamar Publishing House, 2004. If you are like most readers, you mentally visualise the people, scenery, architecture, and objects described in whatever text you are perusing. The idea for this companion book to Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" was conceived by readers who, like you, do just that. Although they have created their own imaginary images to supplement their reading of this best selling novel, they wanted to actually see the images described and used to develop the plot. "The Art and Mythology of the Da Vinci Code", by David Morris, provides the opportunity to do exactly that. It offers photographs of all the major buildings, landmarks, art and mythology referenced in Dan Brown's best selling novel. The images are presented in the order that the theological references, theories, and clues are provided to solve the mystery. Whether you are reading the novel because it's a great mystery or because you are intrigued by the theological hypotheses, this volume will exponentially enrich the experience. If you have already read the novel, this volume will allow you to revisit the art and mythology and perhaps expand your knowledge of them.. ISBN: 0974474738. First Edition. Cloth.

London: Victor Gollancz, 2000. Ancient mythology can be seen as a source of understanding of the universal themes and conflicts that have beset human beings throughout time, such as the transitory nature of life, the inevitability of separateness, and the existence of the personal and collective unconscious. Beyond the Mist is an introduction to Irish mythology which also explores its contemporary relevance to the mysteries, unknowns and vicissitudes of life. It explores the various divine and other figures as symbolic aspects of the individual psyche and the unconscious mind, while providing insights into these repressed aspects of our inner life and suggesting appropriate ways of relating to and integrating these qualities. The distinguished psychologist Peter O'Connor shows us Irish mythology in all its fascinating richness, and shows how it can be mined for the wisdom it provides. 246pp. . ISBN: 0575068418.

Erie, PA, U.S.A.: Via Media Publishing Company, 2001. In Volume 1 of Tales of the Hermit, Pere Dominic, a Western pilgrim, began his epic journey throughout Europe and the Orient. Upon arriving at the Islands Empire facing the sun, he was welcomed at first, but eventually he was forced to take flight when the country's rulers turned against all foreigners and their teachings. In a state of extreme mental and physical exhaustion, Pere Dominic was rescued by a mysterious group known only as the 'Residents', who carried him to safety on the Summit, a remote mountain site. As the Residents employed various therapies to help Pere Dominic regain his health, they encouraged him to explore the collection of scrolls assembled in the Library on the Summit, where other visitors to the site - as well as certain Residents - had contributed accounts of their experiences and imaginative reflections in a series of carefully guarded illustrated manuscripts. After a number of spirited and wide-ranging discussions with the Residents concerning the contents of the first two scrolls he had examined in Volume 1, in Volume 2 Pere Dominic discovers two more scrolls, entitled simply 'Yamabushi and Homecoming', which will offer different - and challenging - responses to the ever-present and oft-times agonising dilemma of how to try to live an ethical life in the midst of a violent reality. .
