| I was introduced to McDowell's work by reading The Elementals last year and also learned he wrote the screenplay for Beetlejuice and A Nightmare Before Christmas. The Elementals was excellent, a fantastic southern gothic horror yet whilst I did enjoy ...more | |

A brilliant, meticulously researched study of human paranoia in modern Britain. Cursed Britain by Thomas Waters is easily one of my favorite books of the year. Waters' extraordinary attention to detail shines as he explores the social history of super ...more |

| The pacing was boring and the lead protagonist waffled on about dull and superficial things. Not as engaging as other Austen novels. Also people promote this as a good read for autumn and spooky season because its Austen's only 'gothic novel' only to ...more | |

I enjoyed this book for research, but I personally didn't get on with it. I feel this is more of a personal preference than anything, I have a friend who I think will get more out of this than me. Very interesting practical book regarding working with ...more |

“I call on your many names!
Inanna!
Asherah!
Ishtar!
Astarte!
Isis!
Aphrodite!
Great lady of the stars, sea and soil!!
From the Kopet Mountains to the Caspian Sea,
From my heart to the vault of the skies,
I am devoted to you in all languages and in all hearts,
And in all your names.
in all the rain soaked earth and in all the stars.
Asherah I cherish you,
My unbridled Queen of queens,
I bow to you,
I am bound to you,
Oh Sacred heart,
Great goddess of love and hate,
Of life and death, of passion and peace,
Of all the holy contradictions,
maiden of the ascension and descension,
of the looping serpent’s Ouroboros,
Guide me through my darkness,
So I may see the light.
So that I may rise from the fall,
With the wings of the dawn,
of your everlasting Arammu
Of your all-embracing Ahavah!
Excerpt from “Asherah: High Queen of Queens” - Featured in Asherah: Roots of the Mother Tree.”

“And so my advice to you is this:
Explore the wilderness in your heart.
Love vastly.
Daydream constantly.
Make love genuinely.
Dance regularly.
Breathe deeply.
Be nonsensical.
Unravel your shining soul.
And enjoy every moment.”
