How to Kill a Dragon: Aspects of Indo-European Poetics By Calvert Watkins
1995 | 613 Pages | ISBN: 0195085957 | PDF | 29 MB
In How to Kill a Dragon Watkins uses the comparative method to reconstruct and examine the structure of the dragon/serpent- slaying myths, which recur in various guises throughout the Indo-European poetic tradition. He finds the "signature" formula for the myth--the divine hero who slays the serpent or overcomes adversaries--occurs in the same linguistic form in a wide range of sources and over millennia, including Old and Middle Iranian holy books, Greek epic, Celtic and Germanic sagas, down to Armenian oral folk epic of the last century. Watkins argues that this formula is the vehicle for the central theme of a proto-text, and a central part of the symbolic culture of speakers of the Proto-Indo-European language: the relation of humans to their universe, the values and expectations of their society. Therefore, he further argues, poetry was a social necessity for Indo- European society, where the poet could confer on patrons what they and their culture valued above all else: "imperishable fame."

White Tigress Green Dragon: Taoist Sexual Secrets for Youthful Restoration and Spiritual Illumination By Hsi Lai
2015 | 178 Pages | ISBN: 1517341086 | EPUB | 2 MB
The modern perspective on sexuality is almost exclusively focused on procreational and recreational sex. Little attention has been given to the ancient Asian perspectives on the more profound restorative and transformative (spiritual) benefits of sexuality. This challenging material will definitely bring about a rethinking of sexual purpose and conduct."White Tigress" refers to a female who follows the natural workings and forces of her sexuality to achieve beauty, youthfulness, longevity, and immortality. Her sexual practices all derive from teachings passed down through various consorts and female Taoist nuns and immortalesses."Green Dragon" refers to the male surrogate sexual partners of a White Tigress, who provide her with heightened sexual energy and passion. A Green Dragon can also be a co-cultivator in a Tigress's practice, helping her engage in the deeper transformational practices so that they both can achieve restoration and illumination of body and spirit.The White Tigress and Green Dragon sexual-spiritual practices and philosophy revitalize sexual passion and compassion, demonstrating that there is much to learn about sexual energy and how it can greatly benefit the body and mind.

The skull was concealed from the Japanese in an abandoned well and only came to light in 2018 after the worker responsible told his grandson about it shortly before his death.
