There is an occult space that resides within the everything, and is where everything is born from. It is the fabric we are all weaved into. It is the void from which we try to escape. It is our connection to everyone and everything. It is the looming darkness that wants to show us something brilliant, yet we tend to turn our light from. This story seeks to touch that place and birth a creation that reawakens the truth that vibrates in our cells; that we are all one, it is all one, and our mundane shimmers with Magick if we allow ourselves to see it. Saoirse is a young woman who follows truth and ritual as her north star while she navigates sexuality, death, separation, relations, psychedelics, connection, transcendental meditation, dreams, melting with love, and, ultimately, how it feels to be a human being here on Earth.

On the heels of the fugitive spellweaver Ivellios, Polnygar Ap’Lydin and her companions reach Skurj, a frozen land of ancient hatreds and hidden blasphemies.

Ever since the brutal murder of his parents at the hands of a cult, Bellaydin Ap’Lydin has spent his entire life as the only human in a land of elves. Here, he and his half-sister Polnygar are barely tolerated, especially by the arrogant Spellweaver Lord Ivellios with his dreams of a purified elven kingdom. But after Polnygar stows away on a visiting envoy’s ship, and Bellaydin is accused of murder, their whole world changes. Far from home and each other, they form new alliances and face challenges of their own. Assassins and cultists trail the siblings’ every step in the name of their ancestor, General Lydin, and a lost artefact, the Tears of the Divine. As friends and family suffer death and misfortune, and the shadowy Horned God manipulates events from afar, the siblings are drawn into the prophecy of the Heir of Lydin. But is Bellaydin or Polnygar the Heir? Or is that a secret they should leave buried?

A decade has passed since Aelzandar joined the Grey Mages. A new faith sweeps the lands of Goriinchia, and an ambitious warlord unites the disparate tribes, but in the north Alusine Ran-Tyron ascends to the Emparian throne, hoping for a glorious and peaceful reign. Aelzandar's time with the Grey Mages comes to a tragic end, and though Alusine's favour rescues Aelzandar from a horrific fate, Aelzandar cannot help but think of those he has lost, even as he tutors Alusine's daughter, the Princess Ellinda, in the ways of the Art.

If Generation Next is supposed to question everything and trust no one, where does faith fit in? Consumers demand that their food be pesticide—free, their cosmetics and shampoo be paraben-free, and that everything possible―from clothes to toilet paper—be made without additives or chemicals. But there's nothing that has more additives to the original product than Christianity. How do we get back to the 100% organic version of Jesus? In his personal search for the organic Jesus, Scott Douglas goes on a funny, thought—provoking romp through the foundations of belief. Christianity, he says, has become a simulacrum―a bloated, overprocessed image that lacks the true substance of the real thing. His search for the original took him far and wide through historical Christ figures, urban legends, odd facts about the faith, freakishly flawed Christians, and the Internet. Using relatable, contemporary anecdotes, and unlikely wisdom concealed within humor, Douglas reveals a way back to the authentic essence of following Christ. By including "wiki" breaks, social media callouts, quizzes, charts, and more, #OrganicJesus is ideal for readers raised on social media who can't step out of their house without tweeting about it or eat lunch without posting on Instagram. Douglas is careful to be as non—biased as possible, writing not for any particular agenda―political or otherwise―but instead encouraging readers to seek their own path for spiritual renewal. The result is a candid look at modern Christianity that will challenge savvy young Christians to put as much effort into discovering sustainable religion as they do in their pursuit of an organic marketplace.
