AS THE SPIRITS MOVE ME

AS THE SPIRITS MOVE ME

Ah, last night, good friends, and indulgences in the spirits at Saint Rossi's place where I marveled at the efficiency of the attractive waitress in serving and at the same time generously spreading winning smiles into the crowd, like releasing doves of peace among the rambunctious revelers. The atmosphere was filled with the collective wisdom of the patrons, and became ever so more poignant and insightful in tact with the emptying glasses that begged for refills. I could swear the entity that hounds my liqueur cabinet at home, leaving only empty bottles while I am supposedly fast asleep, had somehow followed me here and did the same to my glass. But never mind, lets have another one! ............ READ MORE

CIRCLE OF THE SUN - ABOUT THE SACRED

A quote from a good friend from the Native Community, in a recent exchange of letters about this subject:
A word of advice, don't exploit that fact, keep your knowledge and anything else you may have gained or experienced to yourself, that is as it should be.

Peter Schlemihl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the story, Schlemihl sells his shadow to the Devil for a bottomless wallet (the gold sack of Fortunatus), only to find that a man without a shadow is shunned by human society. The woman he loves rejects him, and he himself becomes involved in guilt. Yet when the devil wants to return his shadow to him in exchange for his soul, Schlemihl, as the friend of God, rejects the proposal and throws away the bottomless wallet besides. He seeks refuge in nature and travels about the world in scientific exploration, with the aid of seven-league boots. When overtaken with sickness, he is reconciled with his fellow men who take care of him, and in regard for his sickness do not look for his shadow. Finally, however, he returns to his studies of nature and finds his deepest satisfaction in communion with nature and his own better self.[2]

Russell Miller's - Bare-Faced Messiah
Deutsche Übersetzung


The critical book about L. Ron Hubbard and the  Church of Scientology - sorry, German translation only. I could not find a english version on line. The English book may be found on Amazon.

A very interesting read is the chronology of harassment the author had to face writing, and then publishing this book.

Roger Zelazny
Jack Of Shadows


PEOPLE SOMETIMES ASK me whether the title Jack of Shadows was intended to sound like a description of a playing card used in some arcane game, as well as representing my protagonist's name and a matter of geography. Answer: Yes. I've long been fascinated by odd decks of cards, and I had an extensive collection of them at one time.

Jack of Shadows is a science fantasy novel by American author Roger Zelazny. According to him, the name of the book (but not the titular character) was an homage to Jack Vance. In his introduction to the novel he mentioned that he tried to capture some of the exotic landscapes that are frequent in Vance's work. Zelazny wrote it in first draft, with no rewrites. The novel was serialized in the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in 1971 and published in book form that same year. It was nominated for a 1972 Hugo Award and finished #4 in the 1972 Locus Poll for Best Novel. - source: Wikipedia
