    The Virgin of Guadalupe: The History and Legacy of One of the Catholic Church's Most Venerated Images , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
    No other artwork in the world is comparable to the Virgin of Guadalupe. What makes this painting unique - located in the Basilica of Guadalupe, north of Mexico City - is not precisely its artistic quality, as is the case with the Mona Lisa by Leonardo or The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, nor its place in the evolution of painting. It clearly does not constitute a landmark in art history, and the most visited painting in the world is certainly not the summit or the harbinger of a new aesthetic movement, like Dali's melting watches or Van Gogh's Starry Night. In fact, for some, the execution of the image is coarse and all its elements fit well known techniques. For others, it is merely a copy of a sculpture of the Virgin found in Spain. What distinguishes the Virgin of Guadalupe of Mexico is her universality: unlike any work of art in the world, it can be recognized by any local resident, certainly the most ubiquitous symbol in her country. It would be difficult to find a Mexican who cannot name her. The other thing that makes the Virgin of Guadalupe incomparable is her power to unite her nation, something that has been widely demonstrated throughout history. At different moments, and raised by different hands, the Virgin of Guadalupe (never the original painting) has led the troops that changed the history of the territory now known as Mexico. Not even a few hours had passed after the start of the War of Independence when the rebel army was already carrying the image of Guadalupe; in the twentieth century the image was present at the indigenous rebellion in Chiapas in 1994 and also materialized during the Mexican "perestroika" of 2000, which ended the single-party regime that had lasted for seven decades. Going further back, during Mexico's conquest, Hernán Cortés carried an image of the Virgin that, to the disinterested observer, is obviously the prototype of the Mexican Madonna. For some, Guadalupe is the work of a talented Indian painter, and ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

    Los Lunas Decalogue Stone: Eighth-Century Hebrew Monument in New Mexico , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 102min
    On the edge of the Isleta Indian Reservation in the foothills of New Mexico lies the Decalogue Stone, a giant boulder inscribed with the Ten Commandments in Phoenician Hebrew characters. The Indians, Spanish and Americans knew of its existence, and the nearby Crypto-Jewish community of Los Quelites venerated it, building a secret altar that the Spanish Inquisition smashed and destroyed. For the first time, in this unique monograph, the Decalogue Stone's true origin is revealed in a connection to a forgotten eighth-century Jewish colony in the American Southwest known as Calalus. If you are interested in Christianity, Judaism, Native American traditions, Southwest history or archeology, this book by an expert in epigraphy and historical monuments will fascinate you! ungekürzt.

    The Complete Works of Tacitus: Volume 1: The Annals, Part 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
    In the pantheon of ancient men of letters, none hold a more venerated position than the Roman historian, Tacitus, venerated alike for the accuracy of his chronicles as well as for the superiority of his style. He was a writer of unexcelled genius and consummate skill. But his work fell into oblivion not long after his death, and has come down to us based on the text of a single tattered manuscript from the Middle Ages. Tacitus was born sometime before A.D. 62 during the reign of Nero. He died shortly before or after the accession of the emperor Hadrian, around A.D. 120. Almost nothing is known of him. The Annals cover that period of Roman history from the reign of Tiberius to that of Nero. Parts of the work are missing, including a few sections from Tiberius, all the sections on Caligula, the early reign of Claudius, and the last two years of Nero's life. But what remains is breathtaking in its scope and velocity. Tacitus takes us on a mad river rafting voyage down a raging torrent of history. The story fluctuates between events at the court in Rome to the battlefields of Germany, between the bravest deeds of selfless courage and the most sordid acts of vengeful hostility. Nothing escapes the jaded eye of Tacitus as we experience the decadence of Rome in all its haughty grandeur. Part 1 of The Annals begins with the death of Augustus and provides a brief look at his accomplishments and reign before proceeding with the story of Tiberius. Along with events at Rome, we are also taken to the scene of conflict in Parthia and Germany. We witness the rise of the evil Sejanus and learn how he poisoned the mind of Tiberius and turned his rule into a reign of terror. This production uses the famous translation by Church and Brodribb, considered the finest in the English language. The Annals concludes in Volume 2 of The Complete Works of Tacitus. ungekürzt.

    Wicca for Beginners: Wiccan Traditions and Beliefs. Rituals and Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 249min
    As you will find in this audiobook, Wicca is the resurrection of the most up-to-date religions, rehearsed for centuries before the emergence of Christianity. It is regularly referred to as the "old religion". Many Wiccans believe that their training fits into a more extensive witchcraft practice that has been ignored for centuries. Wiccans celebrate and share a considerable number of similar convictions held by our progenitors, with practices that respect old ways, while at the same time being perfect in contemporary life. The perfectness is venerated as male and female, with an emphasis on balance and friendship with nature and an appreciation of the mysterious power inherent in the universe, just as in ourselves. It is an enabling religion, established in ancient times but appropriate for the 21st century. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jack Powell.

    Secrets of Artemis: A Teen Goddess Novel, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
    Not even the god of gods could command my heart not to love.... In Ancient Greece, the goddess, Artemis, was venerated as a maiden huntress, swift with her bow and arrows and eternally chaste. But could there be more to her story? Perhaps Lady Artemis had envisioned quite a different destiny than the one her father, Zeus, had chosen for her. What if she hadn't merely pined after the giant huntsman, Orion, but had secretly partaken of a forbidden romance with him? From prolific fantasy writer C.K. Brooke comes an original divine novel, in which Artemis' classic myths are retold as never before, in her own voice, as the young goddess sets the record straight and reveals the true account of her immortal life - and love. ungekürzt.

    Jesus in India: The Lost Gospels: The Icon Enlightenment Series , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 74min
    The Russian scholar Nicolai Notovich was the first to suggest that Christ may have gone to India. In 1887, Notovich, a Russian scholar and Orientalist, arrived in Kashmir during one of several journeys to the Orient.At the Zoji La pass, Notovitch was a guest in a Buddhist monastery, where a monk told him of the bodhisattva saint called Issa. Notovitch was stunned by the remarkable parallels of Issa's teachings and martyrdom with that of Christ's life, teachings, and crucifixion.For about 16 years, Christ traveled through Turkey, Persia, Western Europe, and possibly, England. He finally arrived with Mary to a place near Kashmir, where she died. After many years in Kashmir, teaching to an appreciative population who venerated him as a great prophet, reformer, and saint, he died and was buried in a tomb in Kashmir itself. ungekürzt.

    Memories of Muhammad: Why the Prophet Matters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 597min
    Who was Muhammad? What do we know historically, and does that differ from how he is seen by his followers and venerated today? Memories of Muhammad presents Muhammad as a lens through which to view both the genesis of Islamic religion and the grand sweep of Islamic history - right up to the hot button issues of the day, such as the spread of Islam, holy wars, the status of women, the significance of Jerusalem, and current tensions with Jews, Hindus, and Christians. It also provides a rare glimpse into how Muslims spiritually connect to God through their Prophet, in the mosque, in the home, and even in cyberspace.

    Zentiva: A Philosophae of Cannabis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 208min
    There is no other element found in nature that has given so much, been so venerated and yet, at the same time, so distrusted as that of the cannabis plant. And like its species cousin, hemp, cannabis is a plant that has been at the center of civilization for thousands of years and only since the past century given way to crime, corruption, corporate greed, and unjust state law. Yet, from this plant there are those of us that have seen the light and how we, as a civilization, can break free from the confines of a subjugated existence and truly awaken into a new dawn. Cannabis isn't about getting high, nor is this natural gift a gateway for abuse, but abuse of power; cannabis has had an effect on the human condition, and it's long since been denied from us, the inborn traits we have once lost. ungekürzt.
