I wanted this book because of its significance to history. It happens, not much, but at times I'll purposely want a book for the historical significance, but consider it dangerous as well. This book was one of those books I wanted, but also struggled to find. I searched for years until it literally dropped in … Continue reading 28 DoBR: Malleus Maleficarum, Or: The Hammer of Witches by Heinrich Godfrey Kramer
I've said it many times before, too much perhaps, how writing began as a therapy for me. I came across a blog post that made many good points toward the subject of writing and therapy. I've never hidden that I have been in therapy, I call it mental maintenance, and it was suggested to me … Continue reading The Word: Writing Can Be Therapy…Truth!

It even became part of the story in my own written … Continue reading 28 DoBR: Fallen Angels, the Watchers, and the Origins of Evil by Joseph Lumpkin
Writers seldom write the things they think. They simply write the things they think other folks think they think. So this is my two cents; one man’s opinion – I think. Being a writer, I’ve noticed a popular sentiment, usually put forth by editors & publishers (interestingly enough, not so much by writers) that being … Continue reading The Word: Frankly, I’m Puzzled By Jeffrey G.

This came to me as a gift. The reason it was given to me was because of how well I treat my own books (the book was going to good hands that'd appreciate it), this book was given with numerous other books that became some of my most prized possessions that became one of the … Continue reading 28 DoBR: The Law Enforcement Guide To Wicca by Kerr Cuhulain
