A month to decide whether to follow the ancient path. In Wilde Grove, the wheel is turning, and the veil between the worlds is thinning. Having had just a few weeks to decide whether to take up the mantle of her inheritance in Wilde Grove, Erin is now beginning her training in the ways of magic and walking the path of the old gods. Her family thinks she’s crazy. Her family thinks Wilde Grove is a cult. But Erin is discovering that magic is real, and learning to control it will be the difference between rescuing her own past self stuck in a desperate initiation, or being doomed to live there too. And then there’s the mess the present world is in – where does magic fit there? Can something so ancient and wild actually be the answer? The Belonging is the second book in the Wilde Grove series, following on from The Gathering. Like stories about the Otherworld and magic? You’ll love this series written by real-life Spiritworker and Druid Katherine Genet.
The veil between the worlds is shredding. The old gods are calling. Erin inherits a cottage in a remote village from a grandmother she's never met. Considering how much she longs to get away from the unexciting life stretching out in front of her, this might be a dream come true. Except that it's a village full of witches and Druids practicing an ancient religion passed down through the centuries, and the priestess leading it is the calm, uncanny death worker Morghan Wilde. Life is different in Wilde Grove, with ownership of the cottage coming with a non-negotiable condition, and it's one Erin's not sure she can meet, or even if she should. She must choose to believe in the unbelievable - an...
The ancient path twists and turns. In Wilde Grove, the initiation continues and those following the ancient path in and out of the Wildwood have much to learn. And come to terms with. Erin feels like a changed woman, but still there is more for her to do. The ancestors are never far from us, and sometimes they need healing as much as we do. It isn’t only Erin who discovers this fact, but Winsome and Morghan must struggle with the consequences of not only their own actions, but the actions of those who lived and died in Wilde Grove before their own time. But wild magic has many secrets – and many gifts, for those who would learn its ways. The Rising is the third book in the Wilde Grove series, following on from The Belonging.

John of Gaunt and Katherine Swynford, Chaucer's sister-in-law, fall in love in the 14th century.
A sensation upon its publication in 1970, Sexual Politics documents the subjugation of women in great literature and art. Kate Millett's analysis targets four revered authors—D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, Norman Mailer, and Jean Genet—and builds a damning profile of literature's patriarchal myths and their extension into psychology, philosophy, and politics. Her eloquence and popular examples taught a generation to recognize inequities masquerading as nature and proved the value of feminist critique in all facets of life. This new edition features the scholar Catharine A. MacKinnon and the New Yorker correspondent Rebecca Mead on the importance of Millett's work to challenging the complacency that sidelines feminism.
"In lyric essays, a story, poems, and photographs, Smith illuminates the whirl of chance and choice that stokes a writer's imagination, recounting her fascination on the eve of a trip to Paris with Simone Weil and an evocative, accidentally discovered film about Stalin's mass deportation of Estonians. In France, a gravestone, a televised figure-skating competition, a meal, and a garden all converge in what becomes Devotion, [a] ... fairy tale about a young, displaced Estonian skater and a solitary dealer in rare objects and arms. This ... fable about creativity and obsession, possession and freedom is followed by a meditation on how a work of art is, for other artists, a call to action"--Booklist, 08/01/2017.

Excerpt from The Dominie of Harlem Many of the farmers had quit their fields a half hour earlier than usual that evening. Violence had been done to their most deeply rooted feelings when they were compelled to hurry the milking and to break the even tenor Of farm routine.

The light of the beacons must be lit. The Season of Strife is upon us. In Wilde Grove, Morghan knows that things must change to meet the challenges laid down by the Goddess and the Queen of the Fae. The threats to the earth, with war and climate change, are such that they now reverberate through all the worlds and are stirring more than the inhabitants of Wellsford and their allies to action. For Erin, this comes at a personal cost, when everything that she thought about herself is challenged in one damning incident. Lines must be drawn; forces must be opposed. The ancient priestesses of the Grove are stirring once more, coming together to stand with their modern counterparts, if they are strong enough. If dissention can be overcome. It they can put aside past prejudices. For so the Wheel turns, so must all the worlds be protected, and the light of the beacons must shine brighter than ever.
