  The Confessions of Fiona by Steve Blamires details the beliefs, stories, and tenets of the Sidhe as revealed by one of the Sidhe, Fiona Macleod. For twelve years, this faery woman laid out the entire mythology, pantheon, and rituals of the faeries themselves. This volume reveals, expands, and explains what we can learn from her.  The Secrets of the Sidhe Revealed!  In 1893, the Scottish writer and mystic William Sharp (1855–1905) started writing under the name Fiona McLeod. The name Fiona did not exist before then, at least not in our world. For the following twelve years, Fiona wrote profusely of her own tradition; that is, the mythology and deities that the faeries recognize. None of these myths, legends, gods, or goddesses were known to humans prior to Fiona’s revelations.   Steve Blamires presents those concepts in his new book, The Confessions of Fiona. He has studied the esoteric faery tradition for thirty years. He presents a unique ritual system; previously unknown myths, legends, and gods and goddesses, offering insight to the modern researcher of this fascinating nonhuman magical body of work. Woven into the legends that the faeries share is a whole ritual magical tradition that humans can emulate with a basic knowledge of the Western magical tradition, the four festivals, the four magical tools, and what has come to be known as pathworking. But they are all significantly different from our human perspective.   Faeries are large, shockingly powerful, and, at times, cruel and dangerous. Steve shows how and when these mighty beings of ancient times were literally shrunken to become the Tinkerbells of popular imagery. Because of this important change of perspective, Steve includes in this book an in-depth look at the faery god Dalua—a truly dark, dangerous god but a necessary one.   To help readers access more of Fiona McLeod’s writings and teachings, Steve has included an appendix detailing all her essential works and scores of relevant direct quotations throughout the book.

  Flipping Patriarchy - Imagining...

  Man Who Has It All

  'I love this book' Fern Britton
  'Laugh out loud funny' Kate Bottley
  An explosive satire of gender stereotypes that flips patriarchy on its head to highlight sexist double standards.
  Exploring subjects like work and comedy, history and sport, the beauty industry and domesticity, anonymous author Man Who Has It All imagines a world in which men are bombarded with the same stereotypical bullshit as women. What if men's T-shirts were emblazoned with slogans encouraging them to be smiley, positive and kind? What if we laughed at jokes about fathers-in-law, male drivers and middle-class men of a certain age? What if men's history was a niche topic? Behind the jokes about crazy cat gentlemen, testerical men and the twenty-four-hour moustache, lies a deeper, darker message about language, power and control.
  Smart and provocative, Man Who Has It All shines a powerful light on the prejudice ingrained in our society. Told through fictionalised scenarios and wider cultural analysis, this is a feminist handbook that will arm you against the patriarchy.
  'Funny and insightful, but also fiercely radical' Victoria Smith
  'Takes on patriarchy with wit, verve and a mighty dose of good old British sarcasm' Viv Groskop, author of How to Own the Room
  'We need to hide copies in every locker room, Wetherspoons and B&Q' Eleanor Morton, comedian and actor
  'Man Who Has It All does a remarkable job of channelling anger into humour . . . a galvanising read' Rachel Hewitt, author of In Her Nature

  The Meaning of It All - Ultimate...

  Rivka Weinberg

  You can stock your life with important work, relationships, activities, and art, and yet still ask: what's the point of it all? Almost every thinking person has asked that question―many more than once. Granted, you're more likely to worry about the point of life when things aren't going well, but you're also likely to ask this question when you've finally received that promotion, achieved a goal, or raised your children―exactly when it seems like the question shouldn't arise.In The Meaning of It All, Rivka Weinberg argues that this is because there are different kinds of meaning, and some, sadly, are impossible to achieve. She explains what they are, illuminates which types of meaning are possible, which are impossible, and shows us how we might orient our lives in light of these bittersweet truths. Although we all die in the end, Weinberg tells us how death doesn't make life more or less meaningful. Instead, it is time that is necessary for meaning, even as it also undermines it by wearing away the fruits of our efforts and commitments. Weinberg explains that most advice on how to reduce the agony of time's erosions cannot work. However, she also explains how we can tease out some insights from failed attempts to escape time's wounds and thereby make progress toward coping with things as they are. A meaningful life is one lived in the fullness of time, accepting suffering, acknowledging our tragic losses and limitations, and making the most of Everyday Meaning.

  The year is 878.  Young King Alfred struggles to regain his West Saxon kingdom from the invading pagan Danes led by Gormr (aka Guthrum, aka Godrum).   His kingdom overrun, Alfred joins Gormr's court disguised as a Welsh gleeman.  Gormr consults Alfred as a counselor and wizard, but resists Alfred's attempts to convert him.   Meanwhile Alfred learns that his lady and their children are Gormr's prisoners.  Escaping to the western fens, he leads a small army against the Danes.   The rest is history.  This is an epic poem set in the Old English culture of Christian warriors, i.e., Romanized Germanic former pagans, contending with contemporary Scandinavian Germanic pagans.  The great epic poet Frederick Turner (author of The New World, Genesis, and Apocalypse) called Eþandun "The real Game of Thrones."   Listen to actor-poet-producer Kyle Derek's heroic rendition of this book-length poem!
