Lessons of Personal Pilgrimage and Change How can we better take in each moment of our lives? How can we be more responsive and open to the here and now? These questions are at the heart of our spiritual quests and personal pilgrimages. In this book the author shares inner and outer discoveries that brought her closer to herself and to the simplicity, subtlety and everydayness of her life. Her stories-as far ranging as enjoying tea with a friend to visiting mysterious Black Madonna icons in Europe-remind us to pay attention not only to the more dramatic or sensational events of our lives but to those simpler moments of connectedness and responsiveness that bring us into our true self. This memoir is filled with stories that are inner markers for personal evolution and change, particularly in the quest for the powers of the feminine. The author's anecdotes touch us all, reminding us that without our stories we might each miss the purpose and meaning of our lives. There are insights in these pages for every reader, lessons for finding the voice of our own quiet wisdom. -From the Foreword by Hal Zina Bennett

The Dark Divine By: Thea Taylor To the outside world Grace and Devin seem like the average siblings, save for the recent tragedy that took their parents. But running the bakery that was left to them is only a cover. In the truth, their parents were demon hunters and the two have followed in their footsteps.

A constructed world - Gender practices - Literacy pracrices - Instructional practices - Identity practices - Private lessons.
First Published in 1994. The study of literacy no longer focuses solely on psychological processes. In the past ten years, literacy has been reconceptualized as a social practice, or rather as social practices that make up the fabric of daily life. Using an anthropological perspective, Private Practices examines the broad fictional reading of middle-class pre-teen girls, and offers fresh insights into the place of literacy, both at home and at school, in the construction of gender. The author provides a wealth of evidence to support the central assumption of the book: Gender is a cultural and social construction, not a biological given. Gender is something that people create while interacting with each other in all the practices of their daily lives, including their literacy practices. The book also provides critical analysis and commentary concerning the role that reading fiction plays in cultural reproduction. In the hope that deeper knowledge of literacy as a social practice will support social transformation and eventually social justice, the author suggests compelling reasons for the fact that girls read more fiction and different fiction than do boys.
