Download or read book The Devil The Witch of Melcore Forest Also Known as The History Future of Wicca Volume 1 written by Roy C. Dudgeon and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the pages of this book you will find a remarkably well constructed narrative, which masterfully blends fantasy and science fiction elements until it finally becomes what it is, a brilliant piece of alternative history. Set in an alternate universe and timeline, this allows for much thinly veiled satire of our own religions, history, philosophies and prejudices throughout. The influence of the author's two major academic works are also quite evident. The Medicine Wheel, portrayed here as the central symbol of Wicca, is actually derived from his study, Common Ground: Eco-Holism and Native American Philosophy, where its meanings and implications for actual Western philosophy, and even practice, were explored. Meanwhile, his book on the philosophy of science, "The Pattern Which Connects: Batesonian Holism as Post-modern Science" applied these ideas in order to argue that ecology/eco-holism, should be seen not as a "supplement to current economic thinking, but rather as a replacement for it...as the mother of all sciences," as economics itself was once described. To conclude, I would highly recommend both as additional readings for those of a scholarly bent, such as myself, who would like to achieve a deeper understanding of the level at which much of the social satire contained herein operates in more detail. Dr. Shayala Knight, author of "We and They: How Persecution and Prejudice Subvert the Introduction of New Ideas."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History and Future of Wicca is a major new work of speculative fiction, which masterfully blends fantasy and science fiction elements until it becomes what it is, a masterfully written alternate history. This allows for much thinly veiled satire of our own histories, philosophies and religions throughout, and there are even utopian elements to complement the adventure. Yet despite all this, it is not a book which takes itself very seriously, and there is subtle humour throughout.

Book excerpt: ONE OF GRAZIA'S BEST BOOKS OF 2021 'I loved it.

Download or read book Grimoires written by Owen Davies and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a grimoire? The word has a familiar ring to many people, particularly as a consequence of such popular television dramas as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed. But few people are sure exactly what it means. Put simply, grimoires are books of spells that were first recorded in the Ancient Middle East and which have developed and spread across much of the Western Hemisphere and beyond over the ensuing millennia. At their most benign, they contain charms and remedies for natural and supernatural ailments and advice on contacting spirits to help find treasures and protect from evil. But at their most sinister they provide instructions on how to manipulate people for corrupt purposes and, worst of all, to call up and make a pact with the Devil. Both types have proven remarkably resilient and adaptable and retain much of their relevance and fascination to this day. But the grimoire represents much more than just magic. To understand the history of grimoires is to understand the spread of Christianity, the development of early science, the cultural influence of the print revolution, the growth of literacy, the impact of colonialism, and the expansion of western cultures across the oceans. As this book richly demonstrates, the history of grimoires illuminates many of the most important developments in European history over the last two thousand years.

Book excerpt: A sweeping historical saga that traces five generations of fiercely powerful mothers and daughters -- witches whose magical inheritance is both a dangerous threat and an extraordinary gift. Brittany, 1821. After Grand-Mere Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her. Even so, the Orchires fight to keep the old ways alive, practicing half-remembered spells and arcane rites in hopes of a revival. And when their youngest daughter comes of age, magic flows anew. The lineage continues, though new generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it hidden. But when World War II looms on the horizon, magic is needed more urgently than ever -- not for simple potions or visions, but to change the entire course of history. Praise for A Secret History of Witches: "I loved it. A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of Practical Magic. . .. Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time." —Laure Eve, author of The Graces "Historical fiction at its absolute finest....Deliciously absorbing." —Boston Globe "At once sprawling and intimate, A Secret History of Witches deftly captures the greatest magic of all: the love between mothers and daughters." —Jordanna Max Brodsky, author of The Wolf in the Whale For more from Louisa Morgan, check out: The Witch's Kind The Age of Witches

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** "The Minimalists show you how to disconnect from our conditioned material state and reconnect to our true essence: love people and use things. This is not a book about how to live with less, but about how to live more deeply and more fully." —Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Like a Monk AS SEEN ON THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARIES MINIMALISM & LESS IS NOW How might your life be better with less? Imagine a life with less: less stuff, less clutter, less stress and debt and discontent—a life with fewer distractions. Now, imagine a life with more: more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth and contribution and contentment—a life of passion, unencumbered by the trappings of the chaotic world around you. What you’re imagining is an intentional life. And to get there, you’ll have to let go of some clutter that’s in the way. In Love People, Use Things, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus move past simple decluttering to show how minimalism makes room to reevaluate and heal the seven essential relationships in our lives: stuff, truth, self, money, values, creativity, and people. They use their own experiences—and those of the people they have met along the minimalist journey—to provide a template for how to live a fuller, more meaningful life. Because once you have less, you can make room for the right kind of more.
