The Chaplin Cane explores the life and times of Calman Mencher, a mild mannered accountant who starts off his practice in an office located next to a "smelly deli" then rises up to become a successful businessman with his hands in several pots. Cal never mixes business with pleasure until he falls for beautiful Carole, an Oral Surgeon and a client. Fate intervenes and deflates the balloon of temptation, when he discovers a devastating truth. Even though Cal marries the lovely Ruth, he remains a mentor to Carole. Ultimately fate lends another hand, and Cal discovers his true self.
On June 22, 1951 the last of the Witchcraft Acts was repealed in the UK. This single action would lead to the rise of what would become the global witchcraft revival movement. Despite another year marking the passing of this historical event, so much of our history still remains lost, misunderstood, or frankly made inaccessible to the magical community at large. There is a craving for better information about the more recent history of witchcraft in the hopes that these gaps in knowledge may be filled, and it’s the author's intention to make Witchcraft Unchained: Exploring the History & Traditions of British Craft the book that will do just that. By addressing the metaphorical chains that have found their way into our community and restoring what has been lost, misunderstood, or made inaccessible, the reader can become empowered with new thoughts which will allow them to connect with their magic on a deeper and more personal level.
The Blythe etc. families in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and elsewhere. The emigrant, William Blythe/Bly/Blyth, who came from England to America in 1652 and his wife, Sarah, are believed to be the common ancestors of thousands of descendants in this book. William and his brother, John, arrived in the Yorke River, Va. on July 16, 1652. William later migrated from Yorke River to Isle of Wight Co., Va. He had at least two sons, William and Christopher. Another William Blythe (d. ca. 1749) identified as a landowner in Chowan and Bertie Counties, N.C. may have been a descendant or relative of Christopher. This William had three sons: William Blythe, enumerated in the 1790 Greenville, S.C. Census; James Blythe, found in 1800 Buncombe Co., N.C. (later Henderson Co.); and Thomas Blythe, enumerated in the 1790 Pendleton Co., S.C. Census. Majority of descendants in this book are through these three brothers. Includes some unattached branches of Blythe families. Family members and descendants live in North Carolina, Arkansas, Maryland, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma and elsewhere.
