Download or read book Black Cats and Evil Eyes written by Chloe Rhodes and published by Michael O'Mara. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection investigates the origins of our most intriguing old-fashioned superstitions, many of which we still find ourselves abiding by today. Hundreds of the beliefs passed down through the generations have their foundations in our ancestors' efforts to ward off evil, which they blamed for hardship, illness and injustice in times when life was, as often as not, 'nasty, brutish and short'. Black Cats and Evil Eyes sets these superstitions in their historical and social context, explaining how fear of the Devil, demons, evil spirits and witchcraft drove people to arm themselves with rituals and talismans to repel dark forces and allow them to live long and healthy lives. In examining many of our common superstitions, this book illuminates the customs, beliefs and practices that link us to an ancient, and often darker, human past.

How did Alexander the Great's Greek and Macedonian army, similarily outnumbered, conquer the Persian Empire? How did the early Romans, a land power, destroy Carthage, a land and sea power, with the Mediterranean in between? How could the outnumbered force of England's King Edward II, composed mostly of bowmen, rout the French army that consisted mainly of armored knights? How could the Vikings raid so far inland that they terrorized all of Europe? How did American Civil War revolutionize warfare around the world? How did the United States overcome Japan's naval superiority in World War II and ultimately triumph? How was Germany's invincibility early in World War II neutralized and then overwhelmed?

Download or read book Two Black Cats written by Kris Ripper and published by Kris Ripper. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rocky Fitzgerald is embroiled in another murder investigation and this time it’s totally not her fault. Well. Mostly not her fault. Ish. Yes, she did spontaneously adopt two kittens, and yes, their original foster mom was coincidentally murdered the next day, but Rocky doesn’t plan to get involved. Why would she? She’s got her life coaching clients, and her Insta-fame to maintain, and oh yeah, also her not-romance with her oldest friend-slash-frenemy (actual detective) Nichelle Crawford. Rocky’s too busy for murder. That’s what she tells herself right up until her grandfatherly demon pal enlists her help clearing the name of one of his proteges, whom he insists could not have done this murder. Demons don’t lose their tempers and stab people! It’s preposterous. Unfortunately for Rocky, that argument doesn’t hold up so well with Nichelle or any of the Fitzgerald cops. She’s gotta figure out who really committed this murder, and she should probably do that before the family Thanksgiving party goes to hell over it. Kittens are a bigger job than she ever bargained for, her cousin is acting weirdly suspicious all of a sudden, and Nichelle has no sympathy at all for an amateur sleuth trying to get a demon out of hot water. Rocky’s life has never been simple, but this is way too much. And just when she thinks everything’s worked out, a surprise arrest throws the family for a loop. Thanksgiving may never be the same.

But something happened to her before she moved to her new town, something she hasn't dared tell anyone else. Something unbelievable. Something that's made it clear to her that she is not quite average. And neither are a group of kids that she's met at her new school. They seem to be mostly focused on starting a new after-school club. But sometimes they talk about strange things, like ghosts and paranormal beings. They tell Trisha that a long time ago, her ancestors were real witches - and that she could be one too. Without warning, Trisha becomes the target of nasty pranks by someone who already seems to have a score to settle with her. It's slowly getting out of control, and there's no one she can turn to, no one she can really trust, or is there? Trisha isn't sure what to believe anymore, except for one thing: life as she knows it is being turned upside-down. Is a fresh start really too much to ask

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THIS BOOK Thriller doesn't describe it! People live all sorts of lives but few as exciting as portrayed here. The author's short stories go from entertaining murderers and gang members to scary dating moments with a potential rapist; only to find love with someone she met 300 years prior. Sharing her work as a psychiatric social worker gives us many real life experiences one can only hope to avoid in one's own life. Yet some situations are encouraging as she helps others survive. The details of her descriptions are amazing as she paints us pictures so vivid we can shut our eyes and see the little gray sausage-like curls and round steel framed glasses on Mrs. Waddell. Whoever wrote a poem about MY ZIT? Different times in history are clearly described from when the little lady of the plantation threw the Yankee soldier over the fence to land in a mud puddle surrounded by snorting pigs. What does one do when facing the jagged glass ends of a broken beer bottle handled by a furious man 6'3" tall? Who ever dared to foster a former heroin pusher? Does anyone in your family vividly remember the details about our perspective of WWII? The author lived in the only city in the U.S. that housed an active army Overseas Replacement Depot. She even remembers the blue cellophane that covered the flashlights of the Air Raid Wardens. This writing covers: humor, adventure, religion, history, law, education, philosophy, psychology, parapsychology, parenting, drama, and much more. Call her crazy: call her eccentric. She lived, loved, DARED, and wrote to tell about it. You will enjoy plenty of laughs! R. Charles Guenther, retired school administrator

Download or read book The Three Black Cats written by Simon Clarke and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-09-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you love cats? Would like to read about what our three get up to when we moved to an old farmhouse in the country, then you will love this book. This is more Beatrix Potter than tales of the river bank. Frankie is an older cat. She is very set in her ways and certainly doesn't behave disrespectfully like these young kittens. It is her house and they will have to learn to respect her. Lola is a seven month old kitten who has loads of energy. She love running and jumping and, when there isn't anything else to do, she loves scaring Frankie. Lola is only five months old. She is a little delicate dear. As wonderful as she is we have to admit that that she is a lamb short of a flock, her lift doesn't go all of the way to the top, she is a kitten who is not so bright. The three of them cause mayhem, have adventures and learn about their surroundings as we follow them through a year in their lives. There is danger, there is laughter and there is... you will have to read this book to find out. What really makes reading this book even more awesome, is that for every Book and eBook that is bought, I will be donating 1 to the RSPCA. Don't forget to leave a comment on this book. If you think it needs fixing, let me know but if you love it and would like to read more adventures of the Three Black Cats let me know because I would love to write some more of these types of books."
