Abstract: The North American Indian is by nature a symbolist, a mystic, and a philosopher. Like most aboriginal peoples, his soul was en rapport with the cosmic agencies manifesting about him. Not only did his Manidos control creation from their exalted seats above the clouds, but they also descended into the world of men and mingled with their red children. The gray clouds hanging over the horizon were the smoke from the calumets of the Gods, who could build fires of petrified wood and use a comet for a flame. The American Indian peopled the forests, rivers, and sky with myriads of superphysical and invisible beings. There are legends of entire tribes who lived in lake bottoms; of races who were never seen in the daytime but who, coming forth from their hidden caves, roamed the earth at night and waylaid unwary travelers; also of Bat Indians, with human bodies and wings, who lived in gloomy forests and inaccessible cliffs and who slept hanging head downward from outcroppings of rock. The red man's philosophy of elemental creatures is apparently the outcome of his intimate contact with Nature, whose inexplicable wonders become the generating cause of such metaphysical speculations.

#331895 Esoterismo
Prato, Aurora Boreale 2023, cm.15x21,5, pp.60, illustrazioni. brossura copertina figurata a colori. Supreme among the wonders of antiquity, unrivaled by the achievements of later architects and builders, the Great Pyramid of Gizeh bears mute witness to an unknown civilization which, having completed its predestined span, passed into oblivion. Eloquent in its silence, inspiring in its majesty, divine in its simplicity, the Great Pyramid is indeed a sermon in stone. Its magnitude overwhelms the puny sensibilities of man. Among the shifting sands of time it stands as a fitting emblem of eternity itself. Who were the illumined mathematicians who planned its parts and dimensions, the master craftsmen who supervised its construction, the skilled artisans who trued its blocks of stone? The essay by Manly Palmer Hall that our publishing house is now proposing to modern readers,The Initiation of the Pyramid, was one of the most interesting chapters of his monumental workThe Secret Teachings of All Ages, published in San Francisco in 1928.

#335051 Arte Pittura
Firenze, Polistampa 2001, cm.24x28, pp.80, illustrazioni, tavole. brossura sopracoperta figurata. Collana Controcampo, 1. Catalogo della mostra Rodolfo Ceccotti: cieli e terre di Maremma , (Firenze, Museo Marino Marini, 10 maggio - 10 giugno 2001). Il volume, introdotto da uno scritto di Antonio Natali, presenta le opere di Ceccotti ispirate ai paesaggi della Maremma in 39 tavole a colori. ?Ceccotti è uno dei rari pittori che possono vantare ancora qualche segreto di Pleinair. Non si rifà ad un repertorio, variandolo. Si sente che tutti i suoi quadri sono una testimonianza diretta: di quei luoghi e di quelle ore. L'uomo che, si diceva, non è mai dentro il quadro, si identifica con la camera ottica. Lo sentiamo piazzato davanti al paesaggio, come un pellegrino romantico che misura lo spazio della sua anima? (Luigi Baldacci).
