Sinossi
Excerpt from The Darker Side of Dawn
Students of theology and mythology are well aware that the concept of deity presents itself to us under a double aspect; on the one hand as gracious, on the other as awful. He evokes both love and fear. He is both a light and a darkness, a revelation and a mystery. In the latter and awful aspect, clouds and darkness are round about him. The Light is Life, the Darkness Death. The one corresponds to our concept of Good, the other to our concept of Evil, within the recognized defini tions of good as that which all creatures desire and of evil as that which-all creatures would avoid. A majority of religions in their exoteric formulation treat these contrasted aspects in outward operation as distinct and Opposed forces, divine and Satanic, celestial and chthonic. Satan is commonly thought of as a Serpent or Dragon and is often so represented, upon the stage or in art. Yet the Solar hero and the Dragon, at war on the Open stage, are blood brothers in the green room. From the Christian point of view, the fallen Angels are fallen in grace, but not in nature and from the Islamic, Iblis is restored at the end of time; in other words Satan becomes again Lucifer. The same deity, Zeus for example in Greek mythology, may be worshipped and represented both in anthropomorphic and in snake forms. Serpent worship and its iconography, despite their outwardly primitive appearance, have profound metaphysical foundations.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient mythology and its relationship to the creation myth. The author explores the universal story of creation across cultures, uncovering hidden connections and shared themes. The book examines the symbolic significance of the serpent in mythology and its link to both the forces of darkness and the life-giving power of light. The author analyzes the Vedic texts, highlighting the dual nature of the divine, as a force that is both gracious and terrifying, embodying both light and darkness. This duality, the author suggests, is reflected in the contrasting figures of Angels and Titans, as well as the serpent, which represents both the primal potential and the power that is often overcome in the creation process. The book reveals a rich tapestry of interconnected myths and symbols, demonstrating how these narratives provide a deeper understanding of the human experience. By tracing the evolution of the creation myth across cultures, the author illuminates the enduring power of these stories and their enduring influence on our understanding of the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781332809998_0
