What We Knew in the Night


Book Description

Explores the roots of witchcraft while providing an integrated magical system to serve the modern witch Raven Grimassi is among the pioneering authors of the modern witchcraft renaissance. In What We Knew in the Night, he presents a cohesive and complete system of witchcraft based on traditional sources. The author’s premise is that, beginning in the 1980s, with the rise of modern metaphysical publishing, authors began presenting very personal witchcraft practices. In the process, traditional and formerly well-established practices fell into obscurity, which potentially lead to confusion. What We Knew in the Night uncovers and clarifies those buried gems for a new generation, assembling and integrating key components of witchcraft, past and present. Grimassi lays out key mystical and practical foundations of witchcraft and restores their important role. Sharing lessons and advice from his own almost 50 years of personal study and practice, Grimassi explores what he describes as the “heart of the old rites.” He also offers practical instructions and a clear 5-step process of empowerment—one chapter for each step —for anyone who wants to walk the path of witchcraft: Virtue of the Moon The Wafting The Witch’s Blade The Clay Pentacle The Witch’s Ring Having accomplished these steps, the reader will possess the “quintessence of witchery” and be firmly grounded in the arcane art of witchcraft.

Life is a journey - an interpretation of Eudora Welty ́s "A Worn Path"


Book Description

Seminar paper from the year 2002 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2,3 (B), http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Institut für Anglistics/American Studies), language: English, abstract: “A Worn Path” written by Eudora Welty was first published within her volume of short stories “A Curtain of Green” in 1941.1 It is a story about life in its purest naturalism. Welty ́s main character is the old Negro woman Phoenix Jackson. With her tremendous self-sacrifice and the love for her little grandson she frequently goes on an adventurous journey from the old Natchez Trace into town to get some medicine for her grandchild who swallowed lye some years ago and is frequently suffering from sore throat. But more than one could think of the story is a metaphor for the way of life that everyone of us has to go. The story ́s path expresses the hard journey of life – the journey, even Eudora Welty speaks about when being asked about the unsolved fate of the grandson: “But it is the journey, the going of the errand, that is the story, and the question is not whether the grandchild is in reality alive or dead.”2 This can be easily compared to the path of life and to the fact that it ́s result is less important than the path itself. 1 Kreyling, Michael.
