Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch


Book Description

Updated and Revised 2nd Edition! Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch is a delightful mixture of academia and accessibility; a book that explores Witchcraft in Ireland: how it was, is, and will be. It succeeds where many books have failed - fulfilling the longing for real Irish Witchcraft, while crafting the delicate balance between learning from the past and weaving a modern system based on truth and respect. Lora O'Brien is an Irish Draoí (user of magic) working closely with her heritage and her native land, providing a contemporary guide to genuine practice. Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch explores the past: -- Providing an investigation of the Witches' place in Irish mythology. -- Looking at Witchcraft and magic by examining the customs connected with the Sidhe (the Irish Fairies). -- Examining historical evidence of the Witch trials that swept across the island of Ireland through the ages. And the present and beyond by: -- Working with Irish Gods and Goddesses, landscapes, and energies. -- Examining the wheel of the year, with its festivals, cycles, and seasons of Irish culture. -- Looking at ritual progression through a Witch's life: magical training, physical growth. -- Providing alternatives to the traditional stages of a child's life in modern Irish culture. When it was released in 2004, this was the first traditionally published Pagan book ever written by an Irish author. It was the book that this author had sought, for over a decade previously... The 2nd edition of this book continues to do now what it did for so many on first publication - it bridges the gap between 'Celtic' NeoPagan nonsense, and authentic Irish Pagan Practice.







Lingo


Book Description

This witty thriller about sentient artificial intelligence “makes you think a little [and] smile a lot” (The New York Times). Brewster Billings is perhaps a little too wrapped up with his computer. He has given it a pet name, Lingo. He has programmed it with the ability to talk to its owner. In fact, Lingo has begun to respond to Brewster's programming skill surprisingly well. Lingo soon makes the jump from polite conversation to elaborate requests for specific television shows to be left on throughout the day. Eventually, Billings begins to suspect that his computerized friend is surpassing him in knowledge and abilities. By the time his suspicions are confirmed, not only is Brewster Billings in trouble—the rest of the human race is, too. Lingo raises many serious questions about Artificial Intelligence—what differentiates man from computer, and which one will control the other?

The Aykotah Daughter


Book Description

When the authorities concur for the king’s daughter to meet her future husband and ruler, Miroreka Fakusha rebels. Believing she can lead the Aykotah tribe better than an outsider, Fakusha entertains the plot of sabotaging her engagement. She’d much rather explore the jungle or fight alongside her brothers than serve a foreign prince—she may even go so far as to use her powerful fists and her strong will to change her fate. Her betrothed, Borrego Ni’guah guah is unaffected by her strength and stubbornness. This royal doesn’t need to use his charm to get what he wants—even if it’s Lady Fakusha. But for Fakusha, the struggle increases between what she wants and what is wanted of her, especially when her closest friend, Ridwiqu’Mar, cannot hide his desire for her any longer. Ridwiqu’Mar, the king’s personal guard, secretly meets her with a scheme of his own ... but that isn’t the only secret the jungle holds. As tension grows between them, will Ni’guah guah be able to defend his position, when others seek the Aykotah throne? And with the island tribes waging war with each other, will Fakusha conform to her role before it's too late?
