They have been at Legacy Castle, training under their master, Master Kaiden, and Adrian is becoming a more powerful sorcerer each and every day. Not much has been going on at the castle other than some friendly competitions and a couple of trolls who have been causing a little ruckus in the dungeons, but it’s been plenty to keep our gang busy. However, once an amulet that used to belong to the goddess Hecate is located and thought to be in danger, Master Kaiden has to make a decision on whether the gang is ready to embark on their first ever real mission. What Master Kaiden doesn’t know is that evil forces familiar and unknown are working from all different sides in an attempt to possess the amulet for their own evil desires. So join Adrian and the gang as they travel down a dark and treacherous road filled with twist and turns that will lead to an even darker truth that no one could ever imagine.

Download or read book A Biblical Response to Superstition Will Worship and the Christmas Holiday written by Daniel Cawdrey and published by Puritan Publications. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, Cawdrey exegetically and biblically demonstrates that worship to God is accomplished through God’s prescription alone. Anything less is man’s invention which leads to superstition and will-worship. He ably defends the regulative principle of worship (that God alone determines the manner in which sinners are to approach him) and demonstrates that even the holiday of Christmas, in the manner that people use it as a “holy day,” is in fact filled with superstition, and must be considered will-worship. This is a powerful and scholarly treatise on holding steadfastly to God’s prescribed manner of worship, and an exhortation to throw out all man-made inventions that hinder communion with God. This work is not a scan or facsimile and has been made easy to read with an active table of contents for electronic versions.

At first an apprentice and then a journeyman witch, Elizabeth learns to eat raw eggs and how to cast small spells. And she and Jennifer collaborate on cooking up an ointment that will enable them to fly. That’s when a marvelous toad, Hilary Ezra, enters their lives. And that’s when trouble starts to brew.
Download or read book Santa Claus Worldwide written by Tom A. Jerman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive history of the world's midwinter gift-givers, showcasing the extreme diversity in their depictions as well as the many traits and functions these characters share. It tracks the evolution of these figures from the tribal priests who presided over winter solstice celebrations thousands of years before the birth of Christ, to Christian notables like St. Martin and St. Nicholas, to a variety of secular figures who emerged throughout Europe following the Protestant Reformation. Finally, it explains how the popularity of a poem about a "miniature sleigh" and "eight tiny reindeer" helped consolidate the diverse European gift-givers into an enduring tradition in which American children awake early on Christmas morning to see what Santa brought. Although the names, appearance, attire and gift-giving practices of the world's winter solstice gift-givers differ greatly, they are all recognizable as Santa, the personification of the Christmas and Midwinter festivals. Despite efforts to eliminate him by groups as diverse as the Puritans of seventeenth century New England, the Communist Party of the twentieth century Soviet Union and the government of Nazi Germany, Santa has survived and prospered, becoming one of the best known and most beloved figures in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Haunting of Hecate Cavendish is book one in New York Times bestselling author Paula Brackston's new, magic-infused series about Hecate Cavendish, an eccentric and feisty young woman who can see ghosts. England, 1881. Hereford cathedral stands sentinel over the city, keeping its secrets, holding long forgotten souls in its stony embrace. Hecate Cavendish speeds through the cobbled streets on her bicycle, skirts hitched daringly high, heading for her new life as Assistant Librarian. But this is no ordinary collection of books. The cathedral houses an ancient chained library, wisdom guarded for centuries, mysteries and stories locked onto its worn, humble shelves. The most prized artifact, however, is the medieval world map which hangs next to Hecate’s desk. Little does she know how much the curious people and mythical creatures depicted on it will come to mean to her. Nor does she suspect that there are lost souls waiting for her in the haunted cathedral. Some will become her dearest friends. Some will seek her help in finding peace. Others will put her in great peril, and, as she quickly learns, threaten the lives of everyone she loves.

Download or read book Villa Hecate written by Laurence Flood and published by Laurence Flood. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Villa Hecate Synopsis It’s the eve of 1984 and the much anticipated dystopian society predicted by Orwell has not yet materialised. Laurie McGrath is a much sought after session guitarist from Glasgow. He is married to Cate (short for the Greek goddess Hecate). Cate is a well known watercolour artist who has exhibited in the Royal Academy summer shows as well as in her native Scotland. Laurie can’t believe his luck when one of the top boy bands breaks up and its charismatic singer Brent McDonald asks him to be in his new band as they tour in Spain. A series of unexpected events quickly catapult Laurie and his artist wife Cate from the trendiness of Glasgow’s West End into a young, vibrant and newly democratic Spain. Deciding to spend a year in the Marbella area of southern Spain, the couple fortuitously find a dream home by the beach. Cate renames the house, Villa Hecate. Following the austerity of General Franco’s dictatorship, the Transition years, were a period of relative freedom and adventure both for Spain and Laurie and Cate. Laurie McGrath was born and raised in the Maryhill district of Glasgow. After studying at Glasgow University, he worked as a session guitarist through the Punk and New Wave years of the late 70s and early 80s. He recorded and toured as a session musician with many well-known groups including The Stranglers, The Damned, Elvis Costello, Ian Drury and Dr. Feelgood. The author describes himself as a poet, musician and Buddhist (though not necessarily in that order). Laurie now lives in Hastings in East Sussex with his wife Cate and their cocker spaniel.
