Beschreibung

  'A heartfelt celebration of all kinds of queer love' ― Alice Linehan,  Gay Community News   
  A ground-breaking Irish lesbian love story, set across the decades from the 1980s AIDS crisis to the 2015 marriage referendum.  
 Ro McCarthy, single in her fifties and working a quiet job, is sustained by her love of books and her deep friendships. Although she still doesn't approve of marriage – not even for the straights – she is canvassing for yes in the 2015 marriage equality referendum. But, as the ghosts of her activist past join her on the campaign trail and her eagerness to confront a familiar discrimination turns to obsession and fury, Ro must finally face the long-buried trauma and loss of her youth.  
 Thirty years earlier, Ro is a young Cork woman living her best life in Boston, undocumented and working multiple jobs, making life-long friends, and falling in love with Jenny. Soon, however, the young gay men who have become Ro's new family – from Ireland and elsewhere – begin to die. Shocked and grieving, she finds purpose in AIDS activism and a community that is loving and living against all odds. In the wake of this macabre heyday which Ro just about survives, her charged entanglement with Jenny will bear witness to the resistance and survival of an invisible generation of warriors.  
 Slant is a headbutt to the heart, told from within a protective community, that will reveal and celebrate all the kinds of love needed to sustain a life.

    “Wicca Insights: The Wiccan Path: Embracing Nature, Magic, and Spiritual Enlightenment," an inclusive book, touches upon the very core of Wicca since it is an intimate and exhaustive view of this very dynamic nature-based spiritual practice. In doing this, those initiates and experienced practitioners who are proceeding through the sections of the book will get a solid panoramic view of the central principles and of the rituals as well as magical tools that are applied in practicing everyday life. 
    It starts with a humorous history of Wicca and basic beliefs, tracing through the pages with as much interest paid to its respect to nature, dual deity worship, and magic filled with transformational powers. Then, with its four most important elements composing the body of the Wiccan way, it will usher readers along into that holy relationship with the Earth, worship with the Goddess and God, and the importance and significance of four elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. 
    "Wicca Insights" brings realistic concepts and exact instructions in the setting up of holy spaces, how to conduct rituals and ceremonies, how to apply magical implements, and also how to use the athame, wand, chalice, and pentacle. The book even goes into seasonal celebrations and the Wheel of the Year, so the reader is totally appreciative of the cyclical nature of life. 
    An excellent resource for any style and walk of life, an exploration into spirituality and personal growth and connection to the Earth accept the magic, wisdom, and peace Wicca has to offer, and embark on a journey of discovery and empowerment.
