Book excerpt: “A brilliant new voice in paranormal romance.” —New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd Karina Cooper’s Dark Mission novels are red hot—and, with Sacrifice the Wicked, she returns readers to the darkly thrilling dystopian realm of witches and witch hunters she introduced in her stunning debut, Blood of the Wicked. This time, it’s a battle of the sexes, as reluctant allies become passionate lovers in a world on the brink of destruction.

Ward, Kresley Cole, and Karen Marie Moning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Community of Witches explores the beliefs and practices of Neo-Paganism and Witchcraft - generally known to scholars and practitioners as Wicca. While the words "magic," "witchcraft," and "paganism" evoke images of the distant past and remote cultures, this book shows that Wicca has emerged as part of a new religious movement that reflects the era in which it developed. Imported to the United States in the late 1960s from the United Kingdom, the religion absorbed into its basic fabric the social concerns of the time: feminism, environmentalism, self-development, alternative spirituality, and mistrust of authority.

Download or read book Slaying the Mermaid written by Stephanie Golden and published by Three Rivers Press (CA). This book was released on 1999 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slaying the Mermaid addresses the great numbers of women of all ages who find themselves constantly disregarding their own well-being to put the needs of others first. Drawing on the experiences of a diverse array of women, Stephanie Golden examines the dichotomy between selfhood and sacrifice, enabling women to become conscious of self-defeating behavior. Using the image of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid, the ultimate ideal of the self-sacrificing woman, Golden offers a new paradigm: in order to run with the wolves, you must first slay the mermaid. Slaying the Mermaid uncovers the mythic and archetypal roots of the need felt by women to sacrifice their personal potential for the good of others. This book will help women reclaim their energy, creativity, and identity, while rediscovering the original, empowering meaning of sacrifice as an expansive and self-fulfilling act.
