A Modern Legal History of Treasure
Author: N.M. Dawson
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031128338
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 639
Book Description
This book examines treasure law and practice from the rise of the new science of archaeology in the early Victorian period to the present day. Drawing on largely-unexamined state records and other archives, the book covers several legal jurisdictions: England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland pre- and post-independence, and post-partition Northern Ireland. From the Mold gold cape (1833) to the Broighter hoard (1896), from Sutton Hoo (1939) to the Galloway hoard (2014), the law of treasure trove, and the Treasure Act 1996, are considered through the prism of notable archaeological discoveries, and from the perspectives of finders, landowners, archaeologists, museum professionals, collectors, the state, and the public. Literally and metaphorically, treasure law is revealed as a ground-breaking chapter in the history of the legal protection of cultural property and cultural heritage in Britain and Ireland.

The Owner of the Treasure
Author: Dominik V. Frey
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 152452977X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
When Dominik V. Frey moved his family to the Mexican countryside, in the town of Tamazunchale, he often wondered how most of the modest towns residents supported their high standard of living. Rumors abound that most of the towns rich families had gotten their wealth from finding treasure buried by the rebels during the Mexican Revolution in the early 1900s. The townsfolk also talked in hushed voices about how those who found the treasures had to pay a hefty price: they sold their souls to the devil, whom local treasure seekers referred to as El Compadre, the owner of all buried treasure. For a time, he was content to listen to the storiesuntil he started finding strange buried objects near his property with his metal detector. This is a true story of a once-devout Christian who, drawn in by the prospect of digging up his own pot of gold, finds himself immersed in the occult and pretty soon fighting for his soul and sanity as he works with shamans and witch doctors and their black magic to strike a deal with El Compadre that will allow him to unearth vast fortunes.

Finding Is the First Act
Author: John Dominic Crossan
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 172522187X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
An imaginative and illuminating study, Finding Is the First Act places historical thinking in creative tension with literary appreciation. The structures of Jesus's parable of the hidden treasure (Matt 13:44) are examined by mapping its plot options (finding, acting, buying) in view of other Jewish treasure stories and the vast array of treasure plots in world folklore. Startling differences emerge in the plot options chosen by Jesus that point to a new understanding of the directive to give up all one has for the Kingdom of God. "Why Jesus' treasure parable? For three reasons that I am aware of. First, . . . the story has always fascinated me. . . . Second, in recent work on parables there has often been a tendency to concentrate especially on the longer parables of Jesus. I wanted deliberately to move in theopposite direction and to give full emphasis to a very short parable . . . . Third, this particular parable, in contrast, for example, to that of The Mustard Seed, does not furnish much grist for the diachronic mill of biblical studies. I was deliberately choosing an item which, in isolation from its Matthean context, could hardly sustain a monograph study along the standard lines of tradition criticism." --from the Preface

Sacred Plant Initiations
Author: Carole Guyett
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1591432146
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
A practical guide to connecting with plants through ceremony • Explains how to commune with plants and their spirits through the traditional shamanic method of “plant dieting” to receive their teachings and guidance • Details 8 ceremonial plant initiations centered on common, easily recognized plants and trees such as primrose, dandelion, oak, and dog rose • Provides instructions to develop your own sacred plant initiations and make ceremonial plant elixirs • Includes four audio journeys to facilitate plant initiations In this guide to sacred plant initiations, medical herbalist and shamanic practitioner Carole Guyett explains how to commune with plants and their spirits through the traditional shamanic method of “plant dieting.” A plant diet involves ingesting a particular plant over a period of time so you regularly receive the plant’s vibratory energy as well as its medicinal actions. Adding a ceremonial element to plant dieting offers a sacred initiation by the plant world, allowing you to connect deeply with all aspects of a plant, receive its sacred teachings, and forge a relationship for guidance and healing, benefitting both yourself and others. Each of the eight ceremonial plant initiations detailed in the book was personally developed by the author through extensive work with her ceremonial groups. They each center on an easily recognized plant or tree such as primrose, dandelion, oak, and dog rose. These common plants have powerful teachings and healing guidance to share with those who communicate with and honor them. The initiations, for both individuals and groups, work with the Wheel of the Year, honoring each plant’s sacred timing and connecting with one of the eight Celtic and Pre-Celtic Fire Festivals--the solstices, equinoxes, and the holy days of Beltane, Lughnasadh, Samhain, and Imbolc. Offering practical instructions so you can develop your own sacred plant initiations, the author also include access to 4 audio journeys to facilitate the initiations in the book. She also explains how to make plant elixirs for use in plant diets and for healing. She shows how connecting with plants allows us to deepen our relationship with Nature, access higher levels of consciousness and spiritual realms, and facilitate the full flowering of human potential.
