Book Presentation:
Religion in Literature
Friday, September 10, 7 pm:
Local author Dr. David Arnett will discuss
the importance of religion in literature and examine the roots and
themes of his new novel, SWING HIGH, SWEET CHARIOT:
THE GOSPIL OF JAKE DANIELS. He will gladly inscribe all copies
of the book purchased at the Well Red Coyote. Dr. Arnett was a Foreign
Service Officer with the U.S. Information Agency and the Department
of State for more than 31 years. He holds a Ph.D. in English from
Tulane University.
In SWING HIGH, SWEET CHARIOT, human beings
have been grated both freedom of choice and the power of creation
itself. They have misused both to such an extend that they actually
kill each other in the name of God, and the creative energy from their
misguided thoughts and intentions has unleashed deadly and implacable
forces among us. One man has survived near certain death with the
help of powerful allies in order to try to realign human creative
energy with that of the ultimate Creator. But is there enough time
remaining? And why is he the only one who might possibly succeed?
These and other answers await the reader of this mystery of faith
and survival. Join David for this fascinating talk. |

Alternative Health
& New Age Talk: Herbal Magick
Saturday, September 25, 2 pm: Alternative
Health writer, Jamie Martinez Wood, author
of THE FAERIE’S GUIDE TO GREEN MAGICK
FROM THE GARDEN, will present a delightful talk that will delve
into the mystery and mythos of three plant allies from her book THE
FAERIE’S GUIDE TO GREEN MAGICK FROM THE GARDEN. In each
herb lives a sentient being that has intelligence as well as a story
or lore that reveals as much about how the herb can be used as it
does about the culture that discovered and utilized the herb's unique
properties. She will explore the historical, modern, practical and
magickal applications of lavender, mint, and damiana on a journey
that is certain to deepen your appreciation of Mother Earth and the
spirit that connects us all.
Whether you’re into magick or alternative medicine, Jamie will
share how these herbs can help you.
She is also the author of THE WICCA COOKBOOK,
which is soon to be reprinted in its 10th anniversary edition.
Jamie Wood has been honoring the spirit of the earth her entire life,
usually barefoot. She teaches classes, conducts workshops, and retreats
and has written eight books. A free spirit, she is on an eclectic
path of herbalism, ecology and encouraging those on their life’s
journey to empowerment. Her passion is to protect nature and all things
feral and free. Check her out at her
website. |
