Historia
The House of Atreus is cursed. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods.

Excellent but some background helps
Revisado: 01-10-25
Overall this was a moving, powerful, and intelligent presentation of a classic Greek myth. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the fact that it can be confusing at first who is talking and what their relationships are. If you aren’t closely familiar with this myth (like me), a little background research into the main characters (such as Wikipedia or the like) will be very helpful. Of course, by doing so, one runs the risk of “spoilers”, but that’s not so important in my opinion — after all, this story has already been around for thousands of years! It’s not the “suspense” of an unknown ending that makes it captivating; it’s the psychological fleshing out of the characters and the heavy archetypal implications. For me this was a sumptuous banquet of historical, mythic, emotional, psychological, and even spiritual delights (and horrors). Bravo!

Historia
The secretive Mysteries conducted at Eleusis in Greece for nearly two millennia have long puzzled scholars with strange accounts of initiates experiencing otherworldly journeys. In this groundbreaking work, three experts - a mycologist, a chemist, and a historian - argue persuasively that the sacred potion given to participants in the course of the ritual contained a psychoactive entheogen. The authors then expand the discussion to show that natural psychedelic agents have been used in spiritual rituals across history and cultures.

Fascinating

Describes the Elusinian Mysteries and their possible relationship to various intoxicants, objects, rituals, words, and locations. It is more detailed and informative than I expected.

Historia
Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation dives deep into the occult roots of the movement, detailing the lives of some of its most prominent figures and the esoteric beliefs that inspired and motivated them. Since the 1970s, everything we learn about the history of the women's movement has been subject to gatekeeping by radicals who run women's studies departments in universities. But there's an entire history that has been obscured from public view.

Excellent and eye-opening

This book should be of interest to anyone seeking to learn more about early feminism, the lesser-known byways of American religion and occultism through history, or those simply looking for a fascinating read. I can’t recommend this remarkable book highly enough.
