Book excerpt: After saving Gwyn’s life and managing to fight off the feral season of his land, Rafe flees to the Land of Summer with the girl who has captured the one part of his heart he has managed to keep. Yet as soon as he finds himself in the other land, Rafe realizes that what he has believed for a century isn’t true—and that the truth of the seasonal gods is far more complicated than he ever thought possible, a web of lies and betrayal. As revelations threaten to shatter Gwyn’s dream of finding the Land of Spring, she has to choose once more whether she’ll help her beautiful, soft-spoken, fragile yet powerful Autumn god in unraveling the secrets of the seasons, the risk of losing her heart to him more real than ever, or to protect herself and leave his side. But Autumn is watching both Rafe and Gwyn—the god they turned into a devil and the girl who freed him from his prison—, and it soon seems that making choices of their own is a freedom which neither of them can afford. The Ink Raven will have to rise once more. And the mortal girl he loves is the only one who can help him fly as high as the world needs him to.

Download or read book Way of the Warrior Priestess written by Raven Woman Aya and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman who struggles on the spiritual path needs validation, guidance, inspiration and practical advice. This handbook is to help her survive the transition of the past several centuries and come to her full empowerment. This is especially for she who needs to reprogram herself as the Warrior Priestess in what is still a mans world. It is for the one who seeks to understand her place as the embodiment of the Divine Feminine Spirit because now it is time to uplift the wounded feminine consciousness to its rightful power, to transmute the negative results of ignorance and subjugation. This book is a call and a guide for the neophyte on the Path as well as for all the extraordinary women who are searching for a Friend in the dark, when they are feeling most damned and abandoned because of their Vision. It is for all the Spiritual Warrior/Priestesses who have forgotten some of the pitfalls, as well as the joys, of their Journey. This book will serve as an inspiration for those who have lost that Sight. In the playing field of womens spirituality, no one book or resource offers such a clear picture of the magical destiny of the Woman of Tomorrow, especially for those with eclectic beliefs. THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR PRIESTESS addresses this need for self transformation by inspiring the reader with important quotations as well as the authors guidance, step by step direction, affirmations, useful astrological insights, as well as a section that asks questions that will push the reader into changing some tired perceptions. It is written to fire up the spirit of the sleeping Feminine Spirit in both women and men. It is a handbook and empowerment manual for the growing army of individuals born at this special time in Mother Earths history to help rebalance Her during certain changes. ...for all of those brave souls willing to go in an exciting new direction. WHY THE READER SHOULD READ THIS BOOK This is not another book about the womens spirituality movement or about why women are goddesses. Rather it is a bridge between traditional magickal wisdom and the everyday challenges of the woman of the 90s. It is a call to transformation and will answer the intense desire for women of all ages and colors to heal their lives. It will give them permission and purpose to become what they really are: perfected beings. It will also bring on an almost-instant wakeup call for men. It embraces no particular theology, religion or mythology and is not a psychological treatise. It does not advocate any one path to take, nor is it anti anything except ignorance....It does come from a spacious metaphysical vision that many will relate to with a sigh of relief. The average woman is still rather paralyzed and in partial ignorance of her power as a Magical Being...because she does not even have the voice or words to help herself. And most books on this subject are still either too academic or beyond the average womans experiences. This book will serve as a tool and a light to help her see herself. The Talking Stick section at the end of each chapter is to jumpstart some profound self questioning - as well as a handy starting point in teaching situations....ideal to teach self empowerment workshops all over the world. The extensive Resources section at the back of the book is to help locate the key material for the process. This book will be appropriate for several markets: Feminist, Goddess, Spiritual, Metaphysical, Womens Self Help. It should be in metaphysical centers, universities, feminist study groups, and womens conferences and gatherings. It is for women ages 16-90 who seek inspiration and practical advice. It is for men who are trying to align with the female spirit, both in

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the Danes, he is skraelingr ; to the English, he is orcn�as ; to the Irish, he is fomoraig . He is Corpse-maker and Life-quencher, the Bringer of Night, the Son of the Wolf and Brother of the Serpent. He is Grimnir, and he is the last of his kind-the last in a long line of monsters who have plagued humanity since the Elder Days. Drawn from his lair by a thirst for vengeance against the Dane who slew his brother, Grimnir emerges into a world that's changed. A new faith has arisen. The Old Ways are dying, and their followers retreating into the shadows; even still, Grimnir's vengeance cannot be denied. Taking a young Christian hostage to be his guide, Grimnir embarks on a journey that takes him from the hinterlands of Denmark, where the wisdom of the ancient dwarves has given way to madness, to the war-torn heart of southern England, where the spirits of the land make violence on one another. And thence to the green shores of Ireland and the Viking stronghold of Dubhlinn, where his enemy awaits. But, unless Grimnir can set aside his hatreds, his dream of retribution will come to nothing. For Dubhlinn is set to be the site of a reckoning-the Old Ways versus the New-and Grimnir, the last of his kind left to plague mankind, must choose: stand with the Christian King of Ireland and see his vengeance done or stand against him and see it slip away?

Download or read book Spirit of the Raven written by Bob Cherry and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins in the Alaskan bush in November when one of the main characters, Hjalmar the Finn, spies what looks like an axe handle frozen into a mound of ice. He moves closer, only to see a wool Mackinaw coat beneath a fresh skiff of snow. Half the double-bitted axehead is buried between the shoulder blades of the body lying on the ice. Already fairly certain whose body it is, Finn struggles to dislodge the axe head to turn the body on its back to make sure. And indeed, the body is that of his trapping partner, Swede. Thus begins a story in which the characters are as mysterious and compelling as Alaska itself, each with his or her own story of how they came to live in the lonely isolation of the Alaskan bush. There is the pregnant young girl who refuses to name the identity of the father of her unborn child. There is the priest who is pursued by his own demons. There is the pompous man of the law who wields his power inappropriately. And there is the sweet but simpering town drunk, who through the haze of whiskey, still manages to be a source of comfort to many. Although some of the characters are victimised and defeated, they are never destroyed.Engulfing the novel and its characters is a central narrative force surrounding the evasive and enigmatic Native Alaskan named Keetuk, feared and revered by all those living near the Chiktok River. It is through the spirit of the Raven, a mythological trickster believed by many to have created the world, some characters are spared the wrath of Keetuk. The plot is a uniquely structured fabric and a distillation of the way things were and are in Alaska, with all its incredibly diverse cultural, geographic, and historical influences.
