  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

    Lucifer (DC Comics) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lucifer Morningstar is a DC Comics character appearing Lucifer primarily as a supporting character in the comic book series The Sandman and as the title character of a spin-off, both published under the Vertigo imprint. Though various depictions of Lucifer – the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of the Abrahamic religions – have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989. Like many modern interpretations of Satan, DC's Lucifer owes much to the character's portrayal in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, though Gaiman adapts the character to fit the fictional DC The title character from the cover of Lucifer Universe where their comics are #16, artist Christopher Moeller. set, where the character exists Publication information alongside superheroes and deities from multiple religions.

His first novel, Neverwhere, was his attempt to fill in the blanks left by the television series with the same name, by writing down, everything that he could not fit into the restrictive television format. This paper analyses the novel through the lens of structuralism and poststructuralism, in order to reveal inherent social critique, artfully concealed in a game of complex urban imagery, chronotopic structures and intertextual references. KEY WORDS: urban fantasy, urban hell, intertextuality, chronotope, Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman RESumEN Neil Gaiman es un aclamado autor británico de novelas, relatos breves, guiones cine- matográficos, novelas gráficas y obras para la radio. Su primera novela, Neverwhere, fue su intento de rellenar los espacios en blanco de la serie de televisión con el mismo nombre, añadiendo todo lo que no podía encajar en el restrictivo formato televisivo. Este artículo analiza la novela a través de la óptica del estructuralismo y el postestruc- turalismo, con el fin de revelar la crítica social inherente, oculta artísticamente bajo un un juego de imágenes urbanas complejas, estructuras cronotópicas y referencias inter- textuales.

  • Modern Myth in Neil Gaiman's American Gods (2001)
    UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ IMAGINARY THINGS: MODERN MYTH IN NEIL GAIMAN'S AMERICAN GODS (2001) A Pro Gradu Thesis by Matti Delahay Department of Languages 2009 HUMANISTINEN TIEDEKUNTA KIELTEN LAITOS Matti Delahay IMAGINARY THINGS: MODERN MYTH IN NEIL GAIMAN'S AMERICAN GODS (2001) Pro-Gradu tutkielma Englannin kieli Elokuu 2009 101 sivua Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, voiko Neil Gaimanin romaani Unohdetut Jumalat – alkup. American Gods (2001) – täyttää Joseph Campbellin määritelmän mukaiset myytin kriteerit (1949, 1968). Kaunokirjallisuutta on aikaisemminkin verrattu Campbellin teorioihin mytologioista, mutta yleensä formalistisemmin, kiinnittämättä huomiota myyttien funktioihin. Campbell (2001a-f) esittää, että myytit ovat tarjonneet yksilön henkiselle kehitykselle tärkeää tukea, jota tuhansia vuosia sitten kirjoitetut pyhät kirjoitukset eivät nykyaikana enää pysty toisintamaan. Mikäli Unohdetut Jumalat täyttää myytin (funktionaaliset) kriteerit, osoittaa se, että moderni populaarikulttuuri kykenee osaltaan täyttämään vanhentuneiden myyttien jättämää tyhjiötä. Tutkielman teoriaosassa esitellään ensin pohjatiedot Joseph Campbellin teorioista sankarin matka (1949) ja myytin neljä funktiota (1968). Sen jälkeen annetaan tarpeelliset taustatiedot Neil Gaimanista ja romaanista Unohdetut Jumalat (2001) juonitiivistelmineen. Tutkimuksen varsinainen analyysiosa on jaettu kahteen osioon. Ensimmäisessä osiossa erittelen romaanin juonikaarta Campbellin sankarin matka -teorian vaiheiden avulla. Toisessa osiossa vertaan romaanin keskeisiä teemoja

  • Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and The
    Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and the Hermeneutical Inquiry Timothy Andrew John Peoples Thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Houston in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts In English Margot Backus, Ph.D., Director Maria Gonzalez, Ph.D., English Department Reader Dan Price, Ph.D., Honors College Reader Defended May 2004 Houston, Texas Keywords: British literature, English literature, postmodernism, hermeneutics, contemporary literature, Neil Gaiman, religious studies, time Copyright 2004 Timothy Andrew John Peoples i Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and the Hermeneutical Inquiry Tim Peoples ABSTRACT I begin this thesis with a discussion of Neil Gaiman’s career and my interaction with his first novel, Neverwhere . I define time in the novel as the succession and interrelatedness of events and divide this definition into two perceptions: immediacy and graduality. I apply the former to the novel’s separate worlds, which are called London Above and London Below. London Above, in the perception of Richard Mayhew, the main character, favors immediacy and rejects graduality. Though his perception is incomplete, the nature of London Above makes him unsuitable for life there. London Below, on the other hand, exhibits both perceptions. Graduality’s influence on the two worlds shows a departure from Western conceptions of time that makes London Above and London Below a symbiotic that cannot be unified. This symbiosis can be allegorized as the hermeneutical gap. After examining similar concepts in Gaiman’s Stardust and American Gods , I conclude that Gaiman’s writing states that the permanently separated hermeneutical gap allows humanity to reflect upon itself.

Clever dialogue, mind-blowing landscapes, expansive new concepts, and brilliantly designed characters. Super solid volume. This was mind blowing insanely good.

Having absorbed the Living Tarot Deck inside of her, wannabe magician Jill Presto has begun manifesting truly magical powers. If he does, this could be right up there with Batman and Wonder Woman as one of the best series of the New The concepts are great, managing to maintain the themes of Snyder's run, all the while standing out as unique stories. The story is not trash. The whole concept of the green is so strange and interesting. I would recommend this volume of Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing is not into the killing humans bit. He's a long-time comic book fan, and can be seen most evenings in Batman pajama pants. I look forward to see where he goes with the character. Alec or Jason view spoiler [aka Seeder hide spoiler ].. He's given the character a set of adversaries and goals that actually feel equal to him, while thoroughly deconstructing the concept of "The Green" that has been present in Swamp Thing ever since Alan Moore's iconic run.

(F/CYA) Gaiman: Magic, Death, and Pastiche Pine Chair: Stefan Ekman University of Gothenburg The Creative Spectrum of Magic in Neil Gaiman’s Works ABstract: This paper is an experiment in approaching fantasy literature through the lense magic as the main focus for critical exploration. A selection of Neil Gaiman’s works: American Gods (2001), Anansi Boys (2005), Neverwhere (1996), The Graveyard Book (2008) and Stardust (1999), is used as a testing sample for the creative spectrum of magic apparatus.
