Wayward pines trilogy books7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s better than essentially anything else on Amazon Prime right now short of maybe The Boys, and is probably one of the better shows airing across most streaming services outside of your obvious Big Boys like Succession and The Last of Us. Given that the show is still relatively new, it could still end up fumbling the ball like LOST did with many of its central questions, but that show was always more about the ride than the destination, and so far, the ride of From is fantastic. But at this point, the less I say the better, as digging in an figuring out the deep weirdness of it all is part of the fun. Over time, you’ll start learning more about the monsters, the central question, but in season 2 we’re starting to figure out that this is only scratching the surface of what’s going on in the town. ![]() There are two factions in town, a bunch of “live and let live” hippie types who live in one communal house on a hill, and then the town itself run in a more regimented fashion by Perrineau’s sheriff.įrom works because it is genuinely terrifying and blends legitimately interesting mysteries for its entire duration. ![]() The show opens with a new family arriving in town and struggling to comprehend where exactly they ended up. ![]()

Shortly thereafter the name 'Richard Marsh' began to appear in the literary periodicals.

This is just my opinion, others may have amazing results using pre-written spells. There is nothing wrong with following a template or starting with a spell to adjust to us. I feel we should all write our own spells, their more powerful that way, have more of our own energy and intentions. Magick is such a personal and ever growing and changing practice. Personally I see this, and other spell books, as guides when reading the spells contained within them. She leaves plenty of room for adjustment, creativity or adaptations. The second reason, the author takes into account tools, herbs, etc a magickal practitioner may or may not have access to and the variety of understandings and traditions her readers may have. It’s easy to understand and customize what is in it to a variety of practices. The first being this book has helped me so much in practice. I choose Moon Spells by Diane Ahlquist for a couple of reasons. This is my first review in a long series of coming reviews. ![]() Kings of chaos by eva ashwood7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The story focuses on River who messed up in the wrong place at the wrong friggin time. ⚠️NO SPOILERS⚠️ Have you been searching for a book to really get your heart pumping, your undies wet, while also rooting for a strong female lead that takes no crap from no one?
