Covering three generations of Hank Williams, Family Tradition is both unique and vast in scope. Beginning in the present day with Hank III – who gave the author unprecedented access – and time-traveling across the years, this examines just what kind of rebel mojo inspired this crazed family of country music, from Hank Sr. – often regarded as one of the most influential of American musicians – to Hank Jr., to this year's model, Hank III, who has somehow found a way to reconcile his legacy's deep-rooted twang and high-lonesome sound with particularly searing strains of punk and heavy metal, launching an all-out war with traditional Nashville in the process.

In 1852 two sisters leave Scotland alone, amid fear of persecution as witches. They are only teenagers but they are leaving behind everything they know and heading for a new world so that they can start living without fear...One of the sisters, my great great great grandmother, Euphemia Grieve, left her homeland under unusual circumstances as a young girl. She came to Canada where she married William MacKenzie and they started a new life together. They were advised by family friend Emily Stowe (one of Canada's very first female doctors) to build a home in Muskoka Ontario, which they did. An octagonal home, built by 8 Scottish carpenters. A powerful, natural, magick Circle, my childhood home. They were practicing theosophists, whose mandate includes the re-awakening of humanities psychic gifts, and to investigate the unexplained laws of Nature and the powers latent in humankind. Some consider the modern day New Age movement to be based on theosophical teachings, and even in the new world one couldn't openly declare oneself a witch in 1886. In Muskoka they planted a huge perennial garden full of witches herbs and flowers which still existed when I was growing up there, steeped in tradition. I am a 6th generation practicing witch among the matrimonial line in my family. Initiated by family and raised in traditional witchcraft. Although I was baptized as a Christian for propriety's sake (most of the men in the family are not initiated or even aware of the Craft, although this is changing) I have always been aware of the truth and intrinsic rightness of the Craft of the Wise. I was always allowed and encouraged to explore other religions and make my own choice but there has only ever been one way for me. I consider myself very well-read on the subject, and well-versed in the different traditions that make up modern day Wicca and neo-paganism, and as a teenager I attended Wiccan church in Toronto. Today, as all the woman in my family I am a fully initiated third degree solitary practitioner.And in this book I am including 200 years of real accumulated knowledge to enable others to fulfill their lives.

This book describes and documents the existence of the black helping tradition, and offers a theory regarding its origin, development, and decline. The book is based on research operating from the fundamental assumption that a pattern of black self-help activities developed from the black extended family, particularly the extended family's major elements of mutual aid, social-class cooperation, male-female equality, and prosocial behavior in children; and that the pattern of black self-help spread from the black extended family to institutions in the wider black community through fictive kinship and racial and religious consciousness.
