Spirit Witch


Book Description

The quest to save magic is nearing its end as deprivation sickness takes hold at Westwood Academy. Will an unlikely hero be enough to save all witch kind? Enid Morrigan has a lot to learn about who she is, and what better place to do it than Westwood Academy? Though new to the world of magic, Enid has always been a little strange. Seeing and hearing the dead is something she would not wish on her worst enemy, but it has always been a part of her life. Secret spells and wards surrounding Westwood have efficiently blocked off her gifts—or curses, as she always thought of them. But what happens when her newfound friends need her to open up her powers? Is she strong enough to face her demons in order to save all magic? Good thing she is not alone. With Rio, Maia, Tana, Jade, and Mabe on her side, Enid and their mates track down a Lorekeeper who might be able to help. Spiritwalker Judge Dusek is a trained guide helping magic users navigate their paths. It doesn’t hurt that he’s sexy-as-sin, but will his pushy, blunt ways be too much for the soft-spoken witch? There’s too much at stake for Enid to back down now. Welcome to Westwood Academy. Forget what you know and let your magic run wild.

Her thirst for blood is growing, and Mabe is caught between wanting to run away and learning to accept help. When the Council of Covens sends an Enforcer to track down rumors of a witch using blood magic, Mabe is forced to decide between a rock and a hard place. She doesn’t want to leave Westwood Academy, but what choice does she have? She can either go, give herself up, or risk the only friends she has ever had. Can she prove she’s not a threat to magic and get the rune-marked Enforcer to back off? Maybe. But there’s a catch—Mabe might be more dangerous than any of them think. Scars run deep for this solitary witch who’s seen more than a woman her age ought to. She’s come too far to back down now, but learning to trust others with her truth just might be the toughest lesson of all. Welcome to Westwood Academy.

Premodern Beliefs and Witch Trials in a Swedish Province, 1669-1672


Book Description

This book examines the worldview and perceptions of reality that formed the setting for the witch trials held in the Swedish province of Bohuslän in 1669-1672. The first part of the book explores the conduct of the trials and provides, among other things, an analysis of the defendants and of the various accusations from neighbours and the court. The following parts analyse the perceptions of reality found in the statements made in court by witnesses and the accused. The topics addressed include the relationship between dreams and reality, belief in shape-shifting, the power of words, emotions, and magically charged matters, as well as perceptions of God and the Devil. The beliefs that surfaced during the trials were part of a general mentality that characterised people’s perception of the world, both before and after the trials. As the records from the prolonged cross-examinations of the accused are unusually detailed, the defendant’s statements, together with accusations, testimonies, and the courts’ questions, provides a unique insight into premodern worldviews.
