Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Darkness and Dawn Drum, like the daybreak f a sky long wrapped in fogs, a sign of consciousness began to dawn in the face of the tranced girl. Once more the breath of life began to stir in that full bosom, to which again a vital warmth had on this day of days crept slowly back. And as she lay there, prone upon the dusty floor, her beautiful face buried and shielded in the hollow of her arm, a sigh welled from her lips. Life - life was flowing back again! The miracle of mira cles was growing to reality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
