Book Description
A rich, intimate embrace of Capri, which was a magnet for artistic renegades and a place of erotic refuge Isolated and arrestingly beautiful, the island of Capri has been a refuge for renegade artists and writers fleeing the strictures of conventional society from the time of Augustus, who bought the island in 29 BC after defeating Antony and Cleopatra, to the early twentieth century, when the poet and novelist Jacques d’Adelswärd-Fersen was in exile there after being charged with corrupting minors, to the 1960s, when Truman Capote spent time on the island. We also meet the Marquis de Sade, Goethe, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, Compton Mackenzie, Rilke, Lenin, and Gorky, among other astonishingly vivid characters. Grounded in a deep intimacy with Capri and full of captivating anecdotes, Jamie James’s Pagan Light tells how a tiny island served as a wildly permissive haven for people—queer, criminal, sick, marginalized, and simply crazy—who had nowhere else to go.

Book Description
Begin your apprenticeship in Faery Wicca. Now you can receive the wisdom of Witchcraft's most elusive branch in the first book ever to publish its teachings. Faery Wicca unveils the authentic beliefs and practices of Irish Faery Wicca, the ancient earth-centered religion that by oral tradition survived centuries of oppression and provided the basis for many forms of Celtic Wicca. Lessons cover Faery Wicca's history, evolution, philosophy, and mechanics in a format that facilitates learning. Because initiation can only be acquired under the direction of an Ollamh (Elder Priestess) of the Faery-Faith, instruction in this guide is presented by a traditionally initiated Ollamh and Faith expert.
