Book Description
Every time I close my eyes I see you. The real you. The beautiful, authentic and confident you. I see your soul glowing brightly. But you are hiding your gifts. You are concealing the divinity of your power. Why? Because of what they did to you. Because they tried to silence you. They tried to erase you. You still hold that pain. That is why you are scared to step into the truth of who you really are. But this happened a long time ago, before you were born. I’m talking about the memories of your past lives and those of your ancestors. They lived in fear of the leaders. They lived in terror of who they really were. They couldn’t allow their rituals or spells to be shown in public. They couldn’t speak out loud their praises of the universe, Mother Gaia or honor their soul. I’m talking about the witches. I’m talking about you and me and what we went through hundreds of years ago. Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever wondered how those lives affected you, and today’s entire conscious collective? In this book, I share my journey to those past lives and reveal the wisdom hidden there. I uncover the long-suppressed truth about our divine feminine. Using my own incantation, a hypnotic trance and witchcraft ritual, I call upon the energies of the past to present themselves to me. These stories are your stories. And together, as we relive them, we heal that part of ourselves that has been broken and hidden. We bring peace to our world and the bright future before us. Let us each honor our soul and speak our spells once more. Let us remember the witch within.
The Specter of Salem
Author: Gretchen A. Adams
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226005429
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
In The Specter of Salem, Gretchen A. Adams reveals the many ways that the Salem witch trials loomed over the American collective memory from the Revolution to the Civil War and beyond. Schoolbooks in the 1790s, for example, evoked the episode to demonstrate the new nation’s progress from a disorderly and brutal past to a rational present, while critics of new religious movements in the 1830s cast them as a return to Salem-era fanaticism, and during the Civil War, southerners evoked witch burning to criticize Union tactics. Shedding new light on the many, varied American invocations of Salem, Adams ultimately illuminates the function of collective memories in the life of a nation. “Imaginative and thoughtful. . . . Thought-provoking, informative, and convincingly presented, The Specter of Salem is an often spellbinding mix of politics, cultural history, and public historiography.”— New England Quarterly “This well-researched book, forgoing the usual heft of scholarly studies, is not another interpretation of the Salem trials, but an important major work within the scholarly literature on the witch-hunt, linking the hysteria of the period to the evolving history of the American nation. A required acquisition for academic libraries.”—Choice, Outstanding Academic Title 2009

Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
"A gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women. The characters live, bleed, and roar. "―Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR Books • Barnes and Noble • BookPage In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in this powerful novel of magic, family, and the suffragette movement. In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box. But when the Eastwood sisters―James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna―join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote―and perhaps not even to live―the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches. But there will be. An homage to the indomitable power and persistence of women, The Once and Future Witches reimagines stories of revolution, motherhood, and women's suffrage—the lost ways are calling. Praise for The Once and Future Witches: "A glorious escape into a world where witchcraft has dwindled to a memory of women's magic, and three wild, sundered sisters hold the key to bring it back...A tale that will sweep you away."―Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author "This book is an amazing bit of spellcraft and resistance so needed in our times, and a reminder that secret words and ways can never be truly and properly lost, as long as there are tongues to speak them and ears to listen."―P. Djèlí Clark, author The Black God's Drum For more from Alix E. Harrow, check out The Ten Thousand Doors of January.

Pages : 130
Book Description
Every time I close my eyes I see you. The real you. The beautiful, authentic and confident you. I see your soul glowing brightly. But you are hiding your gifts. You are concealing the divinity of your power. Why? Because of what they did to you. Because they tried to silence you. They tried to erase you. You still hold that pain. That is why you are scared to step into the truth of who you really are. But this happened a long time ago, before you were born. I’m talking about the memories of your past lives and those of your ancestors. They lived in fear of the leaders. They lived in terror of who they really were. They couldn’t allow their rituals or spells to be shown in public. They couldn’t speak out loud their praises of the universe, Mother Gaia or honor their soul. I’m talking about the witches. I’m talking about you and me and what we went through hundreds of years ago. Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever wondered how those lives affected you, and today’s entire conscious collective? In this book, I share my journey to those past lives and reveal the wisdom hidden there. I uncover the long-suppressed truth about our divine feminine. Using my own incantation, a hypnotic trance and witchcraft ritual, I call upon the energies of the past to present themselves to me. These stories are your stories. And together, as we relive them, we heal that part of ourselves that has been broken and hidden. We bring peace to our world and the bright future before us. Let us each honor our soul and speak our spells once more. Let us remember the witch within.
