Rolling in Books

August 18, 2010 by greycatsidhe

A new book arrived for me in the mail today: Magic in the Ancient World by Fritz Graf.  It’s recommended reading for Magic 1 in ADF’s Initiate Program.  I’ve read many titles about the history and folklore of magic in Europe – mostly focusing on the north-eastern parts.  This latest book focuses on the Mediterranean world.  All I know about magic from Greece and Rome is the mythological side – the famous witches like Circe and Medea.  I’m excited to delve into it… as soon as I finish Celtic Heritage: Ancient Tradition in Ireland and Wales by Rees and Rees towards my Indo-European Mythology class.

I’ve also been reading from my massive art history book every night.  I finished the chapter on the Egyptians a couple nights ago and am about to explore Aegean art.

Aaaaand while doing all of that, I also picked up The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring finally.  I read and immensely enjoyed The Hobbit when I was in fifth or sixth grade, and I always meant to read the trilogy…  I’m loving it so far!

    Bad news first. I feel like rubbish tonight. Tea, tissues, and more episodes of “The Office.” The good news is that one of my short stories is getting published! 💚#writingcommunity
    I think the visibility is worse. My windshield is covered after only a few minutes. The Winter Crone is working hard today! Wishing all safe passage. (I really need to change my tires...) #nny #winter #lakeeffectsnow #polytheistsofinstagram
    Just a typical winter day in the North Country. #nny #winter #forest #snow #lakeeffectsnow
    What you’re looking at is part of a magical working I did a few years ago when we started house hunting. Somehow, this ended up moving from where I’d kept it. It found its way by a salt lamp that sweat during the summer’s humidity. The paper is crusted over with salt now. I found it while cleaning and was struck by how we got what we requested. We have things we’d like to improve, of course, but I have so much gratitude for our little house. Placing this salted parchment back where I was keeping it. I thought of returning it to the Earth... but it seems more like a protective talisman now. It possesses a calming, reassuring energy. #folkmagic #polytheistsofinstagram
