MacroMicroCosm: Primordial Edition
"The act of becoming begins with context, body, the swell of a woman’s hip lit by cascading sunlight through a balmy spring window, the touch of heavenly winds across a hot face. We brush our toes into the sandy beaches of our coastlines and rich textures of pleasure seep into our feet. We were made beautifully, wonderfully. Body and mind together, as a single unit. Humankind does not hold license to call its collective body a horrible, ghastly entity rutting itself toward global destruction. As a race we are too hard on ourselves. We implant our newborns with social structures, infantile cooes and gender roles, until they grow enough to ask why." Melissa Ratajczak Ratel, The Beauty of Pri...
Can You Hear the Angels Sing?
“On the way to the hospital, I repeatedly prayed for the robbers, saying, 'Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do.'"

Vræyda Media officially released Rev. Prof. Seth Ayettey’s Can You Hear the Angels Sing? in October 2013.

Warning Light Calling
Warning Light Calling is also about lost love, and it gives an accurate description of the anatomy of grief. Everything turns into madness, and the world is turned upside down because of the despair and the loneliness of the protagonist, Sputnik. We experience the Sputnik-psychosis of the Covid-19 and the precariat. Dissident Soviet literature, it feels, has been living a reclusive life away from the literary mainstream. Warning Light Calling borrows ideas from dissident Soviet literature in order understand contemporary themes and motifs as the precariat, Covid-19, East and West, capitalism, healthcare, mental issues, the individual in a globalized world and the worrying climate crisis. It is a little treat of fine literature that attempt at leaving a bad taste in the mouth of the world reader - as it seduces her or him into following those forgotten feelings of political Soviet pathos.

"I want out." The entire cosmos hiccups around Finnegan the Fae. Mystic Judge Caleb Mauthisen desperately clings to the journals of a 7th Century Catholic Cardinal, obsessed with a magical tattoo that threatens to crumble the Mystic Realms to wrath and war.

Spiralling with only his scheming ex Delilah to 'help', Caleb searches for the elusive way out of the Truce, as he descends through the essence of grief into layers of hell on earth. Finnegan breaks his exile to find Caleb's absentee father Raynar, to wrench Caleb loose before his absence strips the Realms of their Judge and protector. Before Delilah weaves Caleb into plans of her own, and wrath shatters through to the last root of the World Tree.
