Book Description
She's a former thief. He's an enslaved werewolf. Together, they will change everything. Seventeen years ago, the human realm collided with a magic world. Now, the land is fractured between opposing factions. The witches rule the cities. Werewolves live under the boot of the witches. And unicorns and fugitive humans roam the abandoned wilderness. Once, Bree West was a scavenger and thief. Now, she leads a group of wild unicorns. Bonded to the powerful beasts, she is awed by both their ethereal beauty and their savage grace. The unicorns are the only things the witches fear. Bree and her herd, organized and strong, are a threat the witches can’t tolerate. Once, Jack Bastian tried to resist being the witches’ plaything. Now, the werewolf does what he’s told, seduces who he’s asked, and doesn’t give a damn who he hurts or how his body is used. He’s good, too. There’s not a witch in the city that can resist Jack’s charms. The high witch is sure he’ll be able to make quick work of Bree. After all, there’s only one thing that can sever the bond between a virgin and her unicorns. Usually, Jack wouldn’t give a damn. But then he sees Bree. And everything changes.

Troubled Minds
Author: Arne S. Steinforth
Publisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783631587171
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Every society has its own definition of a normal and an abnormal human condition. For persons living with mental disorders, these concepts have a tremendous impact. This study investigates how the abnormal mind is culturally defined in Malaŵi, South-Eastern Africa. Based on anthropological techniques such as interviews, participant observation, and archive research, it explores the different social dimensions of mental disorder - e.g. its reflection in traditional dance rituals, in behavioural rules during pregnancy, or in the healing ministry of independent churches. It demonstrates how local explanations of mental disorder - be it witchcraft, an angry ancestor, or the will of God - determine the social acceptance of an affected person's condition. Recent processes of cultural change, however, strengthen the pluralism of Malaŵian religious landscape, opening the local debate to an ever wider range of interpretations.

Arcana Mundi
Author: Georg Luck
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801883453
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
Magic, miracles, daemonology, divination, astrology, and alchemy were the arcana mundi, the "secrets of the universe," of the ancient Greeks and Romans. In this path-breaking collection of Greek and Roman writings on magic and the occult, Georg Luck provides a comprehensive sourcebook and introduction to magic as it was practiced by witches and sorcerers, magi and astrologers, in the Greek and Roman worlds. In this new edition, Luck has gathered and translated 130 ancient texts dating from the eighth century BCE through the fourth century CE. Thoroughly revised, this volume offers several new elements: a comprehensive general introduction, an epilogue discussing the persistence of ancient magic into the early Christian and Byzantine eras, and an appendix on the use of mind-altering substances in occult practices. Also added is an extensive glossary of Greek and Latin magical terms. In Arcana Mundi Georg Luck presents a fascinating—and at times startling—alternative vision of the ancient world. "For a long time it was fashionable to ignore the darker and, to us, perhaps, uncomfortable aspects of everyday life in Greece and Rome," Luck has written. "But we can no longer idealize the Greeks with their 'artistic genius' and the Romans with their 'sober realism.' Magic and witchcraft, the fear of daemons and ghosts, the wish to manipulate invisible powers—all of this was very much a part of their lives."

Land, Labour and Diet in Northern Rhodesia
Author: Audrey Isabel Richards
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 9783894738761
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
This reprint of a study by Dr. Audrey Richards (1899-1984) describes the living conditions of the Bemba of North-Eastern Rhodesia, with special reference to the effects of migrant labour on the social and economic life of a mainly agricultural society. Although primarily concerned with the production, distribution, and consumption of food, and with conditions of labour and standards of living, the book gives a vivid picture of the social structure of the Bemba - their political organisation and the functions of the chief, systems of land-tenure, kinship groupings, and the whole complex of economic, social, and magico-religious factors which arise in any community. The book has been widely recognised as an authoritative study particularly among economists and anthropologists.
