Beschreibung

In "Irish Witchcraft and Demonology," St John Drelincourt Seymour offers a meticulously researched exploration of the rich tapestry of Irish folklore, witchcraft, and the sociocultural phenomena surrounding demonology in Ireland. Employing a compelling narrative style that integrates historical documentation with captivating tales and myths, Seymour delves deeply into the beliefs, practices, and trials that characterized the landscape of Irish witchcraft from the medieval period to the early modern era. He contextualizes these traditions within the broader framework of European witch trials, providing a panoramic view of how fear and superstition manifested uniquely on the Emerald Isle. St John Drelincourt Seymour was an accomplished scholar with a profound interest in folklore and religion, particularly in the context of the British Isles. His background in history and anthropology enriched his understanding of how oral traditions intertwine with established beliefs, ultimately leading him to craft this seminal work. Seymour's academic pursuits, coupled with his keen fascination with the mystical aspects of Irish culture, allowed him to unearth and synthesize a wealth of source material that continues to resonate with readers and scholars alike. For readers intrigued by the intersections of folklore, history, and the supernatural, "Irish Witchcraft and Demonology" is an indispensable resource. It not only uncovers the eerie allure of Irish witchcraft but also stimulates critical inquiries into the societal attitudes toward witchcraft and the supernatural. This book stands as a vital contribution to both the fields of literary studies and cultural history, making it essential reading for anyone drawn to the enigmatic world of witchcraft.

    Protecting Your Children from Internet Pornography exposes the many ways that pornography is menacing people, relationships, society, and—especially—our children. Dr. John Foubert’s ability to write about complex concepts in practical terms will help you understand issues like how pornography affects the brain, how pornography is a recipe for sexual violence, and why you should take measures to protect your children and those you love. This scholarly perspective is well balanced by practical suggestions at the end of each chapter that gives parents advice on how to apply the information in their own home. It is time for a national conversation about what pornography is really all about. Foubert’s book opens the door on that discussion and invites the reader to join the battle against porn with greater knowledge of its actual effects. You will be disturbed, shocked, motivated, and empowered to make a difference after reading this book.

    The fifty poems collected in Gillian Bickley’s Over The Years have been chosen by Verner Bickley from her five previously published collections. 
    “Sensitive, serious, sincere and sometimes a little sad...." (Dumitru M. Ion ( Romania), Member of the Arts and Sciences Academy in R. Macedonia, etc.,2014) 
    "Driven by curiosity as a poet but also by responsibility as the president of "The International Festival Curtea de Argeş Poetry Nights" in Romania (There have been twenty editions, attended in total by over fifteen hundred guests from about a hundred countries), I read and translate the lyrics of hundreds of poets. That's how I discovered the exceptional poet Gillian Bickley from Hong Kong. What firstly drew my attention was the savant level of her poetry; the science of balancing the rational with the sentiment. Each of her poems is sometimes a small novel, an essay or at other times a lyrical sublimate. Her poems are remembrances: from the past (an ancient past, a medieval past, and so on), from her own past or a possible reader's past. The way of shaping her poetry especially fascinates the professional reader. Because, of course, a professional poet (as Gillian Bickley is) will always need a professional reader.” – Dumitru M. Ion, 2016.

    An introduction to Eastern storytelling that opens listeners' minds to radically different ways of telling a satisfying story. 
     
     
     
    Discussions in the West around diversity in the arts often focus on the identities of characters and creators. Speculative fiction author and writing instructor Henry Lien makes the pathbreaking argument that diversity is about more than just plopping different faces into stories that are 100 percent Western in spirit; it can—and should—encompass diverse structures, themes, and values. 
     
     
     
    Using examples ranging from Parasite to The Thousand and One Nights to the Mario video game franchise, Lien shows how storytelling staples in the West, such as the three-act structure and themes of empowerment and change, are far from universal. He introduces the East Asian four-act structure (kishotenketsu), as well as circular and nested structures, and explains how Eastern value systems such as collectivism can dictate form. Spring, Summer, Asteroid, Bird is essential for any writer or reader who wants to broaden their understanding of how to tell a satisfying story.
