Download or read book The Evil of the Witch Rose written by C. T. Heinlein and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was a grandfather looking for the grandchild he had never met. The child was an offspring of a wartime romance, which the son had not lived to see its final fruition. What he got was a nightmare involving a cult that, like the suit in a deck of cards, always had thirteen members. It preyed on the very young and was led by a character called the Father, who seemed to have been here forever. Not only did Father have some strange power over the community, he also came with a connection to the strange rose that only came out at night. The rose was scattered throughout the town, especially in the cemetery before trailing up into the mountainside. It was also a rose seemingly found nowhere else in the world. The Father's connection to the child ran through a silver-haired woman who seemed to be the wild card in Father's deck of life. At times she seemed good while at evil. Still she seemed to be the only chance for a child connected to the grandfather by the beyond-the-grave love of a father.

The encounter that would change me. Forever. "Engaging and thought-provoking. The act of reading this seemed to affect me on a level beyond the words," Claire Raciborska, Growing Wild and Free.

Download or read book Magic Witchcraft and the Otherworld written by Susan Greenwood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-02 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropology's long and complex relationship to magic has been strongly influenced by western science and notions of rationality. This book takes a refreshing new look at modern magic as practised by contemporary Pagans in Britain. It focuses on what Pagans see as the essence of magic - a communication with an otherworldly reality. Examining issues of identity, gender and morality, the author argues that the otherworld forms a central defining characteristic of magical practice. Integrating an experiential ethnographic approach with an analysis of magic, this book asks penetrating questions about the nature of otherworldly knowledge and argues that our scientific frameworks need re-envisioning. It is unique in providing an insider's view of how magic is practised in contemporary western culture.
Download or read book The Island Child written by Molly Aitken and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spellbinding, deeply felt debut novel--soaring and poignant--about passion, freedom, motherhood, and the power to shape our destinies. Oona grew up on the island of Inis: a wind-blasted rock off the coast of Ireland where the men went out on fishing boats and the women tended turf fires; where the only book was the Bible; and where girls stayed at home until they became mothers themselves. The island was a gift for some, a prison for others. Even as a child, Oona knew she wanted to leave, but she never could have anticipated the tumultuous turn of events that would ultimately compel her to flee. Now, after twenty years--after Oona has forged a new, very different life for herself--her daughter vanishes, forcing Oona to face her past in order, finally, to be free of it. Heralding a singularly gifted new voice in fiction, The Island Child is a timeless story of birth and betrayal, storms and shipwrecks and fairy children, and the weight of long-buried secrets.
