Joseph Campbell comments on the hero’s journey, “The seeker of the life beyond life must press beyond, surpass the temptation of her call, and soar to the immaculate ether beyond.” Aster Snowden’s journey started early. Her cruel childhood began a cascade of challenges. She endured an abusive father, vacant mother, and peers who detested her obscure gift of predictive dreams. Years go by, and at middle age, Aster remains timid as she struggles to find love. Grannyme, a so-called dream weaver, acts as Aster’s nocturnal guide. As of late, the old woman messes with fate, and manipulates Aster into a personal quest to find her holy grail. Jack McFadden time travels into past lives for a living. Unwittingly he is a pawn in Grannyme’s plan for Aster’s self-discovery.

The ‘classical tradition’ is no invention of modernity. Already in ancient Greece and Rome, the privileging of the ancient played a role in social and cultural discourses of every period. A collaboration between scholars in diverse areas of classical studies, this volume addresses literary and material evidence for ancient notions of valuing (or disvaluing) the deep past from approximately the fifth century BCE until the second century CE. It examines how specific communities used notions of antiquity to define themselves or others, which models from the past proved most desirable, what literary or exegetic modes they employed, and how temporal systems for ascribing value intersected with the organization of space, the production of narrative, or the application of aesthetic criteria.

TREASURE is the true story of how the iconic fable The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho psychically predicted the future, and what would happen to Karen Williams in real life. This was at a time when Karen had never heard of Coelho’s famous book. It is a story about the passion for a dream, and how this passion revealed to Karen the language of signs and coincidences which the spiritual realm uses to speak to each of us. Living in Andalusia in southern Spain in the 1990s, Karen dreams of finding and living from her soul. One night, after visiting her favourite ruin, she has a dream in which she is reborn and with this her soul quest begins. Just as in Coelho’s The Alchemist it takes her to Tarifa and Tangiers, and then through a metaphorical desert, finally ending at a place of pyramids as she searches for her treasure. But, this is only just the beginning of a truly supernatural odyssey which goes on for another 18 years. In that time Karen dedicates her whole being to the slow, and sometimes incredibly painful unraveling of the real meaning of the allegory known to millions as The Alchemist. What she discovers is far deeper and more transcendental than she ever imagined and touches the lives of all of us who now stand at the beginning of a new millennium hoping for a new world and a new dawn.

As a result we place our trust in the experts and accept their theories as they relate to the age old questions. But are they right in their suppositions? How often has the experts had to rewrite history to accommodate new evidence that has surfaced. How often have we seen evidence pushed aside to acconmmodate what the scholars deem an established theory. In what follows we will question some of the age old beliefs that stll haunt the minds of the human family and offer alternative theories based on the available evidence.
