With lyrical insight, she explores the mystery and the margins, the people and places, of the hardscrabble seaside town where she and her wife have made home. A gem." - Vanessa Hua To read Spell Heaven is to be swept away to the sea, and fish and neighbors, and a small town on the California coast; to be swept away along through associations and stunning imagery; to be pulled in close by the intimate voice of a good friend who knows how to swear and spool shimmering reams of language." —Nina Schuyler, author of the award-winning novel The Translator

U. 2023-10-16T21:06:10Z Comment by [×~Suky~×] Creation myths of ancient Mesopotamia typically begin with the separation of heaven and earth, giving rise to a three-story universe that includes heaven above, earth in the middle, and the underworld below. The high gods reign in the heavens as an assembly or council. Earth is the realm of mortal humans, whose purpose is to serve the gods by providing them with sacred dwellings, food, and tribute; it is also populated by minor gods and demons who play a role in magic. At death human beings descend to the underworld, a dreary land of no return; only a few exceptional human heroes are permitted to enter heaven. After moving to a coastal town a gay couple is drawn to a group of outsiders living on the edge of the sea.

Most, if not all, cultures possess multiple images of heaven and paradise, which coexist in unsystematic profusion. Mount Olympus, the Elysian Fields, and the Isles of the Blessed in Greek and Roman mythology constitute just one example. In Chinese civilizations, conformity to the “way of heaven” ( tiandao) is a perennial ideal that appears in a variety of traditions. It is evident in ancient practices of sacrifice and divination, in Confucian teachings on discerning the will of heaven ( tianming; literally “heaven’s mandate”) within the nexus of social relations, in Daoist teachings on harmonizing with the way of heaven as manifest in nature, in popular Daoist legends of the Ba Xian (“Eight Immortals”), who travel to heaven by means of alchemy and yoga, and also in innumerable Chinese Buddhist and sectarian movements dedicated to the cult of heaven. Since she’s so new, her age is easy to timestamp, though she’ll be in great company along with other created names as she grows.

She excels at sports and team-building activities, a little one with a gift for gab. In the opening story of Spell Heaven, a fishwife asks the narrator, ‘Do you know the difference between a fairy tale and a sea story?’ . . . This artful collection of 23 linked stories, a sort of ‘Cannery Row’ of Northern California, is both. The hardscrabble characters tell their sea stories, but the sea that surrounds the inhabitants of the small town of Seaview is like a capricious character in a fairy tale. It tosses boats, drowns with rogue waves, yet sometimes washes up treasures.”—Thaisa Frank, San Francisco Chronicle

I would like to wrap myself inside of Toni Mirosevich's words, so that their warmth, vitality, and haunting insights into our humanity will somehow absorb into my thoughts and skin, and I will become a better person. The characters in these unforgettable stories are clever, at times peculiar, but always full of heart. Their experiences stay with you long after you close this book. This is a beautiful collection." - Aimee PhanChristianity began as one of many Jewish apocalyptic and reform movements active in Palestine in the 1st century ce. These groups shared an intense conviction that the new heavens and new earth prophesied by Isaiah (Isaiah 65:17) were close at hand. They believed that history would soon find its consummation in a world perfected, when the nations would be judged, the elect redeemed, and Israel restored.

Cognate with Scots heiven, hewin ( “ heaven, sky ” ), Middle Dutch heven ( “ sky, heaven ” ), Low German Heven ( “ heaven, sky ” ), Middle High German heben ( “ sky, heaven ” ), and possibly the rare Icelandic and Old Norse hifinn ( “ heaven, sky ” ), which are all probably dissimilated forms of the Germanic root which appears in Old Norse himinn ( “ heaven, sky ” ), Gothic 𐌷𐌹𐌼𐌹𐌽𐍃 ( himins, “ heaven, sky ” ), Old Swedish himin, Old Danish himæn and probably also (in another variant form) Old Saxon himil, Old Dutch himil (modern Dutch hemel) , and Old High German himil ( German Himmel). [1] In the title story, a child’s note found on the pier gets Mirosevich musing on different meanings of “heaven.” Hear it about halfway through our talk.Being in God’s presence is the chief delight of paradise, according to Muslim philosophers and mystics, and the greater one’s degree of blessedness, the closer one will be to God. Accounts of the Prophet Muhammad’s ascent through the seven heavens to the very throne of God are taken as revealing his uniquely favoured status. Although Sufis (Islamic mystics) speak of an ecstatic “annihilation” ( fanāʾ) in the presence of God, the emphasis within mainstream Islamic traditions on God’s transcendence has discouraged the development of eschatology focusing on divinization or beatific union with God. Hinduism Cantonese: 天堂 ( tin 1 tong 4 ) Mandarin: 天國 ／ 天国 (zh) ( tiānguó ), 天堂 (zh) ( tiāntáng ), 樂園 ／ 乐园 (zh) ( lèyuán ) During the period of the early Upanishads (800–500 bce), a group of itinerant sages turned from the sacrificial ritualism of Vedic tradition to develop the rudiments of classical Hindu soteriology (the theological doctrine of salvation). These sages taught that the entire phenomenal world is caught up in an endless cycle of birth and death ( samsara) propelled by desire. A person’s station in life is determined by actions performed in previous lives ( karma). To be reborn in heaven ( svarga) is pleasant but impermanent; even the gods must eventually die. The ultimate goal is to escape this perishing life and attain union with the infinite spirit ( brahman).
