In un viaggio in Giappone, tra le attività più amate vi è quella di prendere parte a riti e cerimonie suggestive tra antichi santuari, templi e pagode. Tuttavia, solo pochissimi visitatori conoscono la reale mitologia su cui si basa il complesso di riti e celebrazioni a cui prendono parte. Si tratta di una delle mitologie più singolari ed affascinanti del pianeta, caratterizzata da innumerevoli leggende e storie di divinità, eroi, demoni, spiriti e mostri che narrano una visione del cosmo e della vita in modo inedito, soprattutto se paragonato alla visione occidentale.

Perché il Consiglio degli Dei ha deciso urgentemente di incatenare un lupo di ghiaccio? Perché Odino sceglie di perdere il suo occhio destro? E che cos'è quella creatura tanto grande e feroce da terrorizzare Thor, il più forte degli Dei? La mitologia norrena trae origine dalle leggende che si diffusero in epoca pre-cristiana e che vennero tramandate per secoli dai popoli che abitavano la Scandinavia, fino a poi arrivare ad essere influenzata dalle gesta dei sanguinari, quanto conquistatori Vichinghi.

El culto a la Santa Muerte es uno de los fenómenos religiosos más importantes y complejos de México actualmente, y así lo avalan millones de devotos en todo el país, e incluso en Estados Unidos, Canadá y Centroamérica. Desde 1797 se tiene documentada la primera noticia de un rito indígena a un esqueleto al que desde entonces ya llamaban "Santa Muerte". Pero fue hasta hace dos décadas, a partir de la crisis económica más profunda y dolorosa del país, cuando se comenzó a erigir como una figura guardiana, salvadora.

Hace miles de años, en la Antigüedad, las ayas griegas contaban a los niños historias a las que llamaban mythoi, que no se diferenciaban en esencia de las narraciones que solemos calificar como cuento y que tratan sobre sucesos extraordinarios, ya sean reales o inventados. Los mythoi tenían como protagonistas a seres divinos o semidivinos objeto de culto entre el pueblo griego. También tenían como protagonistas a héroes que podían contar con el favor, o disfavor, de esos dioses. Hoy día esas viejas historias han quedado sepultadas bajo capas de olvido.

When we turn our attention to the subject of elemental Intelligences or Nature-Spirits, we are confronted by this immediate difficulty, that we are led at the very beginning beyond and behind the world which we know through the channels of the senses. Sense perception does not help us at all in our study of that mysterious realm of life which constitutes the invisible background of physical manifestation. Madame Blavatsky warned us long ago that to describe Nature-Spirits or Elementals as having definite and corporeal form was likely to lead into great error.

Answering these questions becomes even harder in a world that is disconnected from the traditional folklore and flooded with modern sources that are often vastly at odds with the older beliefs.

Asociada con la pereza y la ociosidad, la siesta contraviene uno de los principios fundamentales del mundo moderno: la pulsión productiva. En los últimos años, sin embargo, este hábito se ha transformado en una herramienta central de la productividad, una rutina saludable, un imperativo del bienestar, e incluso una práctica cool, vendible y consumible. Frente a esa capitalización del sueño, este audiolibro, a medio camino entre el ensayo y la memoria, defiende la siesta como un arte de la interrupción.
