Protecting, healing, or
punishing--people of various eras and origins have attributed such powers
to the sculptures that are being presented together here for the first
time: be it the sculpture of the Mangaaka from what is today the
Republic of Congo, the protective goddess Mahamayuri from China, or the
Maria on the globe from Southern Germany. Forty-five objects created
between the fourth and the nineteenth century from two museums in Berlin
provide a vivid testimony to the ever-present need for protection and
orientation when dealing with individual or social crises. They
represent the existence of an invisible world of gods, spirits, or
ancestors, and create a connection between this world and a "different
reality." As a result of how they are presented in museums, their
context of use is, however, often lost--a situation that is reflected on
by the authors of this book.
Objects that protect people and offer orientation in crisis situations -- a universal topic in the history of humankind

Most authentic book compilation on the Oregon Trail I ever read. The way the diaries are brought to life from over 170 years ago is a remarkable achievement. Top book of year so far for me for today June 01, 2024 review Candice
This author is a breathe of fresh air in a world of lies and coverups. He brings ancient writings and new science to bring light to mankind. In this amazing work, the well known plato stories from antiquity are now put alongside this new discovery of tablets from beginning of time. This is the most complete explanation of Atlantis every brought to the public. Shame on the governments of Egypt and the world for hiding WHO BUILT THE PHYRAMIDS OF GIZA AND THE SPHINX. Once I read this book I knew why they hid this knowledge. They don't want a population to know how great the world used to be compared to know.
Randomly stumbled upon this book and I am shocked that I haven’t heard about it before. It’s hands down the best story I’ve read in years. People need to read this book. It needs to be turned into a book. This story is just plain awsome. M
This soulful book of personal poetry brought me into the past and into the present---and into my heart.
Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
