Download or read book Hunting Magic Eels written by Richard Beck and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a secular age, a world dominated by science and technology. Increasing numbers of us don't believe in God anymore. We don't expect miracles. We've grown up and left those fairy tales behind, culturally and personally. Yet five hundred years ago the world was very much enchanted. It was a world where God existed and the devil was real. It was a world full of angels and demons. It was a world of holy wells and magical eels. But since the Protestant Reformation and the beginning of the Enlightenment, the world--in the West, at least--has become increasingly disenchanted. While this might be taken as evidence of a crisis of belief, Richard Beck argues that it's actually a crisis of attention. God hasn't gone anywhere, but we've lost our capacity to see God. The rising tide of disenchantment has profoundly changed our religious imaginations and led to a loss of the holy expectation that we can be interrupted by the sacred and divine. But it doesn't have to be this way. Hunting Magic Eels shows us that with attention and an intentional, cultivated capacity to experience God as a living, vital presence in our lives, we can cultivate an enchanted faith in a skeptical age. This new paperback edition includes a foreword from Sean Palmer as well as four new, additional chapters, including "Why Good People Need God," "Live Your Beautiful Life," and "The Primacy of the Invisible."

Book excerpt: Picture this: I'm chilling at home with my new vampire and ghost roommates when a disgraced witch shows up at our door. Turns out she’s been booted out of her coven for, well, sucking at witching (look at my cross magical species pun!) I'm never one to turn away someone in need of help, and I don't agree with casting people out simply because they have challenges. But before I can do anything to help the witch, my beloved hyena, Penelope, gets kidnapped by the Hair -- my nemesis -- in order to force me to use my anti-magic to help him hunt down and kill magical creatures. The magical equivalent of law enforcement doesn't give a fig about hyena kidnappings, which means that I'm on my own -- well, me and my little ragtag team of magical misfits, now featuring an inept witch. We’ve got to use every trick in the book (including some that aren’t in the book) to rescue Penelope, and make sure I don’t end up being the Hair’s magical hunting dog. Hop on a broomstick and fasten your seatbelt for a wild ride through London’s underbelly of enchantment and danger as we race against the clock in this spellbinding sequel.

Everything's going to plan until she meets Caine, a mage in league with the demons. He's scary as hell and just as sexy. Worse, he's brought her a warning: rumors are spreading that Rosalind is a mage, too. Now, the Hunters have chosen their next target-and it's her. To save her own life, Rosalind must form an uneasy alliance with Caine. But what if the rumors about her are true? If she can't figure out who to trust, and fast, she'll be exiled to the realm of the very demons she once hunted.

Book excerpt: Thrilling, atmospheric, and filled with ancient magic, this lyrically written YA debut is perfect for readers of The Raven Cycle and Wink Poppy Midnight. Once a year, Wren is chased through the woods near her rural Ireland hometown in a warped version of a childhood game. Her pursuers belong to the judges, a group in control of an ancient, powerful magic they stole from her own people, the augurs . . . but they know nothing of her real identity. If they learned the truth, the game would surely turn deadly. Though she knows the risks, Wren also goes on the hunt, taking a dangerous undercover assignment as an intern at enemy headquarters, the Harkness Foundation. If she can uncover a long-buried secret, she can save her family and end the judges' reign once and for all. But as the web of lies, deceit, and betrayal thickens around Wren, she hurtles toward a truth that threatens to consume her and reveal who she really is. Not only has she come to the attention of powerful judge Cassa Harkness, but she is also falling dangerously in love with the one person she shouldn't. And she may need to decide which she'd rather lose, her heart or her life. This spellbinding YA debut from Mary Watson is part thriller, part love story and entirely captivating.

Book excerpt: Life borders on fiction in this daring and true story of secretly videotaping Carlos Castaneda, one of the most reclusive writers of the sixties. With over 120 previously unpublished photographs and other archival material, this unauthorized first-hand account allows a rare glimpse into the controversial world of Castaneda. It adds the missing face to the man that managed to stay in the shadows for over forty years. When the self-proclaimed sorcerer slips into Gaby Geuter's life, she suddenly believes herself to be at the gateway of knowledge. Tentatively she follows a trail of magical breadcrumbs that begins in private classes and public seminars, but eventually leads her to tracking the master to his home. In a twist of irony the teacher becomes the subject of his own teachings and Gaby the unintentional witness to the last years of Castaneda's life. In the sobering months of his inglorious end, the author discovers that all along, the answers to her lifelong search were inside of her. Call it a poignant memoir, a suspenseful novel, a poetic tribute to the mysterious man, or a spiritual detective story, ultimately it is the ballad of one woman's bold quest of finding the road home.
