Overview
Ziz the Phoenix, Iktomi and Friends - Second Edition gathers ancient beings from around the world and places them in new, unexpected light. These are not just retellings-they are continuations, breathing modern air into sacred fire.
In The Phoenix Cycle Trilogy, we follow Ziz, the celestial bird of renewal, from his fall to his rebirth. Through The Return of the Phoenix, The Song of Ashes, and The Testimony of the Phoenix, Ziz becomes witness and teacher to humanity's greatest gift: the ability to create meaning out of destruction.
These stories explore art, memory, and the eternal flame that keeps civilization alive.
In The Sacred Earth section, Selu the Corn Mother and The Little People teach reverence for life's smallest miracles, while The Gift and the Vortex brings ancient spirits into an age of transformation and awakening.
Finally, Trickster's Domain delivers laughter and chaos, as Iktomi, the Lakota trickster, tangles with technology: gluing pipes together, inventing hovercrafts, and accidentally meeting the Doctor on Mars. His antics reveal that even foolishness can hold wisdom.
Blending mythology, humor, and heart, Daniel R. Bingamon's collection honors indigenous traditions and global myth alike-without imitation or parody. These are stories told with reverence and wit, reminding us that every myth still breathes somewhere in the modern world.
If you love books that blend sacred storytelling with modern imagination-like American Gods, The Way to Rainy Mountain, or The Once and Future King-this collection will make you laugh, wonder, and look again at the firelight within all things.
