Laqueur writes, are “a representation of the unrepresentable: the dead who were somewhere.” In a world where nearly every moment of our lives is photographed, recorded, and documented, the gaps in the past still beckon us. “Our country’s ghost stories,” Dickey writes, “are themselves the dreams (or nightmares) of a nation, the Freudian slips of whole communities.” That’s the thesis of Ghostland, Colin Dickey’s road trip through America’s most famous haunted places, from the Winchester Mystery House to New Orleans’s French Quarter. ![]() ![]() These films are the modern incarnation of the ghost stories that we have told ourselves for generations-and often, the most candid expression of the anxieties we’re too afraid to admit to as a society. As Halloween approaches, movie theaters across the country are projecting our collective fears on screen: horrific spirits, evil rich people, New England witches, wicked surrogate mothers. ![]()

Read more ![]() ![]() Now Rowan has hope for help in her search - but Janus has changed. Then, an unexpected encounter with a lost friend: Janus, a steersman who had resigned his membership in the Steerswomen, giving no explanation. She comes to the seaside town of Alemeth, where centuries of records might help her find clues for her search. But until now, no steerswoman had known of his existence, nor knew that the wizards answered to any single authority. How do you find someone? How, if you have never seen him, never heard him described, did not know where he lived? How, if he wished not to be found? And how, most especially, if he were the most powerful wizard in the world? The steerswoman Rowan has discovered that the fall of the Guidestar and the massacre of Outskirter tribes were caused by one man: the secret master-wizard, Slado. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() SHIPPING: I combine all auction winnings into one flat shipping charge of $3.95, as long as all auction items are combined into one payment by the buyer.

The middle chapters were useful in that there were a few axioms where I was a bit ‘eh…?’ in how I understood them, and explaining each axiom per chapter gave me a way to settle into each one without it being overwhelming. The book follows a three part structure: firstly, laying out the ‘rules’ in a bitesize format then following this with clearly marked chapters expanding on each rule then a conclusion, which sums up some key axioms and leaves the reader with at least basic knowledge of hermeticism. This is quite refreshing to someone who thinks they are reading an academic text, and really handy for beginners that just want to know what Hermetic philosophy is. It clearly states what the ‘axioms’ (or rules) are in Hermetic philosophy, and even lists them as headers. Nevertheless, I finished it, contemplated it, and wrote this review. Not that it wasn’t interesting, but it was difficult to bring myself to read something so academic when I had other fiction books to occupy my time. However, it took me forever to get around to reading it, and even longer to get around to finishing it.
