Synopsis

In "Quaker Hill," Warren H. Wilson weaves a poignant narrative that captures the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a transforming society. Set in the quaint, yet evocative town that serves as both a haven and a crucible for its inhabitants, the novel explores themes of faith, community, and the search for identity. Wilson's prose is both lyrical and incisive, utilizing rich imagery and introspective dialogues that reflect the Quaker ethos of simplicity and reflection amidst the struggles of modern life. The context of post-war America adds depth, showcasing the tensions between tradition and progress, faith and doubt. Warren H. Wilson, known for his deep connection to Quaker ideals and his experiences as a social activist, draws inspiration from his own life dedicated to community service and spiritual exploration. His varied background, including work in education and social justice, informs the struggles and triumphs of his characters, setting them within a broader existential inquiry concerning individual responsibility in a collective society. Wilson'Äôs intimate understanding of Quaker customs enriches the narrative, providing a nuanced view of those seeking harmony in a discordant world. "Quaker Hill" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersections of faith and contemporary issues. Readers will find themselves immersed in a narrative that not only tells the story of its characters but also prompts reflection on their own beliefs and values. Wilson'Äôs deft storytelling is an invitation to ponder what it means to belong, to believe, and to seek truth amid life'Äôs complexities.

    “If you’re interested in assuring that you obtain real tangible results with your spells and are willing to put the work into doing so, this is definitely the book for you. Completely filled with some amazing insights, ideas, and tips that come from experience. [Miller’s] ideas are some that I’ve never seen in other books. This book alone completely changed how I approach giving offerings to spirits and deities.” —Mat Auryn, author of Psychic Witch   This book is about real magick, effecting real change, in a real world. There are some books on magick that teach it purely as spiritual advancement. There are others that teach it as a form of psychological self-help that affects only inner change. While magick can and should be both of these, it is something more. Real Sorcery is about success in practical magick; it is a book that aims at change in both the outer and inner worlds.   Beyond a mere spell book or training course, Real Sorcery is a field manual on successful sorcery written by a professional sorcerer. The first part of the book lays out the qualities, concepts, and exercises necessary to attempt practical magick. The second part presents clear strategies for tackling almost any type of issue with sorcery.   In this book you will learn how to:  Attack problems from multiple angles, not just by casting a spell  Blend mundane and magical action to ensure success  Figure out whether what you are doing is working, and fix it if it isn’t  Go beyond readings, into magical intelligence-gathering  Influence the minds of other people  Work most effectively on behalf of others  This book was previously published as The Sorcerer’s Secrets by New Page Books in 2009. This edition features a new introduction from the author, one new chapter, and updates throughout.
