Excerpt from The Golden Kangaroo The brace-man's shout, Six hundred! Re called him from his dreaming. 'the bars were let down, and a moment later he was cramped in the dripping cage with a dozen others. The plat man rang up the engine house and in Mediate response the cage abruptly sank. Alan had be come inured to the sensation long ago, but he always found a fresh interest in the lights and shades of the journey into Erebus. The cage bumped and jolted on the runners fearsomely. The sounds of life and work were not. The world seemed utterly cut Off. Presently the cage slackened speed and halted.

The Golden Bough


Book Description

The authoritative 1890 edition with an introduction by Cairns Craig and Frazer’s own afterword. Published originally in two volumes in 1890, this extraordinary study of primitive myth and magic led Scottish anthropologist J.G. Frazer to identify parallel patterns of ritual, symbols and belief across many centuries and many different cultures. His observations on the mysteries of fertility and death, and the rites of the sacrificial king who must die to save his people, overturned much of contemporary intellectual thinking, not least because of the enlightening or ‘heretical’ parallels it suggested with the Christian religion. Frazer’s elegant and authoritative style, and the breadth of his learning inspired a whole generation of ethnographers and comparative anthropologists, and had a particularly powerful effect on many other thinkers and writers such as Sigmund Freud, D.H. Lawrence, Joyce, Yeats and T.S. Eliot. This definitive volume includes the unabridged original 1890 edition as well as several essays and lectures by Frazer. ‘Frazer’s work has epic scale yet mesmerizing fineness of detail. We see the great structures of civilization forming and melting against a background of elemental mystery. The effect is cinematic and sublime.’ Camille Paglia

The Golden Disc


Book Description

Holding up the device Jondra said, This is the Golden Disc of Ra the Healing Bomb from our home planet. Because of the sudden and unexpected nature of its destruction, this force was never activated. It was originally prepared to transmute negative emotional thoughts into much more compassionate and loving actions in an explosion of consciousness, not protect us from wayward meteors. One day it may save the dwellers on this planet Earth from destroying themselves. Pity we never had a chance to test it. The Earth is in crisis as the Forces of Darkness and Destruction are rapidly gaining power in many countries. Four people remember their ancient pledge to re-discover one section of the powerful device if a dire enough situation warrants it. When a rogue country detonates a nuclear bomb over Jerusalem, these four are called to save humanity from a destructive aftermath of retribution. From each continent comes one whose ancient destiny is to reassemble the Golden Disc, programmed millennia ago to empower the Forces of Light to triumph. One by one the four are awakened to their destiny, reconnected with each other, and travel to Kenya to reassemble the Golden Disc that will save the Earth. They must release a wave of higher consciousness from the device, called a Healing Bomb, before several other countries ally to become involved in all out nuclear war, which will have a cataclysmic effect on Earth and humanity; far greater than the predicted earth changes that were due to take place at the end of 2012. Will they make it before the deadline, and can they remember how to re-assemble the device in time? If it is not done absolutely correctly, a terrible confl agration could destroy the very thing they are trying to save; Earth. To do so, they will have to outwit those whose role it is to prevent this from happening. - by Robyn Adams
