Elemental Union

Rhea is a fire wielder—he can create and control fire. In a world where the different element wielders were pushed away from each other because of a war, his father is working on an attempt to reunite them, at least when it comes to having business ties. Which is the reason Rhea is kidnapped. Quillan doesn’t like to stick his nose where it doesn’t belong, but he can’t stay back when he sees two guys pushing a third one into the trunk of car. The fact that the tied-up guy ends up being his soulmate makes everything more complicated—and right. That is, if he and Rhea can manage their differences, since he’s a water wielder.

In Veillen, book two of The Elemental Union series, we continue the tale as Sterling fights to control her rising Devian powers. Haunted by her time rotting in Sionaad, the Severon prison, she struggles to move on. Within her nightmares, she is still a prisoner of the sadistic Engram, but she finds comfort in the arms of Brom Da'Gaihen, a fearsome Veillen Warrior. All Sterling wants is a place to call home where she can live in peace. But the people of Kai'Vari are suspicious of her silver eyes and the curse they feel she brings to their village. As she learns more about her Devian powers, she discovers a powerful presence lurking in the shadows of the Veil, willing to help her with her plan for revenge. Brom, while comforting Sterling, must train the next generation of Veillen. After a devastating battle, Brom must decide if he dares push his young students into their joining early, knowing it is both dangerous and possibly deadly. The Severon are obsessed with resurrecting Kell Wrenkin, the god killer. Commander Engram and Orom Vaan Tydar will stop at nothing to get their hands on the Key Shards. A devious plan unfolds as they begin their search for the elemental keys and domination of all of Taaneri. Between mastering her new powers and dealing with the Severon, she still has a lot to do before finding the path she is destined to follow.

The underlying premise of this book is that reading is touching. Words leap out of their beds and pierce flesh like a knife. Storytelling breathes within the dynamic of encounters with air, fire, earth and water, permeated by emotion, imagination and touch. These ideas are contextualized within ancient community rituals, social justice gatherings, pedagogical practices, and map-making. The four elements are retrieved from exile as imaginative, corporeal, and generative substances that operate within stories like medicine bundles. Reading becomes a Deleuzian ‘enterprise of health’, a challenging experience that grasps Paulo Freire’s generative themes, and is simultaneously thought-provoking and valuable. The capacious literary space capable of housing this sensual ferment is the novel. More verb than noun, the novel is an elemental bundle that engages with flesh in all its manifestations. This book spotlights Irish novels by John Banville and Mary Morrissy, exploring how they revitalise the elements with sensual, social, and tactile textures.

“The greatest guide ever written—by our greatest living teacher of magick—to the greatest occult system on Earth.” —from the forward by Jason Louv, author of John Dee and the Empire of Angels Having mastered the arts and sciences of his age, Elizabethan magus Dr. John Dee (1527–1608) resolved that worldly knowledge could no longer provide him the wisdom he desired, and as did so many other learned men of the day, he turned his attention to magick. In 1582 he and his clairvoyant partner Edward Kelley made magical contact with a number of spiritual entities who identified themselves as angels—the same that communicated with Enoch and the patriarchs of the Old Testament. Over the next 3 years they revealed to Dee and Kelley three distinct magical systems of vision magick. The third and last of these incorporated a series of “calls” to be recited in an angelic language in order to raise the consciousness of the magician to a level where angelic contact is possible. In Enochian Vision Magick, Lon Milo DuQuette introduces the origins of Enochian magick and offers the expert and novice alike the opportunity not only to see the big picture of the full system but also the practical means by which he or she can become attuned in the same step-by-step manner that first prepared Dee and Kelley. First published by Weiser in 2008, this new edition includes a new introduction and new back matter by the author as well as a new foreword by Jason Louv.
