INCANTATION (PORETZKY-LEE, GENIE)

In 1795 the great German thinker, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published a fairytale, ?The Green Snake and the Lily?, in a magazine named Die Horen, created by his contemporary, Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller. Such tales are also embedded in the far ancestral past, in ancient Egyptian tales transcribed by W. M. Flinders Petrie in 1899. For the storyteller, Genie Poretzky-Lee, this knowledge underpins awareness of an ancient literary genre, validating a tradition of short poetic stories. The INCANTATION publications facilitate an exploration of this unusual form of writing, in a renewed and inspired way, alongside Genie?s photographic illustrations.

EIGHTEEN OBJECTS OF POWER (MURRAY, WILLIAM TIMOTHY)

The epic fantasy The Year of the Red Door takes place within a rich and complex world, one that is full of history and magic, myth and legend. Along with the five main volumes comprising the story itself is a soon-to-be released Reader's Companion. This book, Eighteen Objects of Power, is an excerpt taken from the forthcoming Reader's Companion. This is what the author says in his Preface: During the development and writing of The Year of the Red Door, a substantial number of "historical" objects, events, and people were imagined and noted. Many of these are not mentioned anywhere within the five volumes comprising The Year of the Red Door. Nonetheless, they are part of the world that I've imagined and that I invite others into. Making notes is one thing, but for a work such as The Year of the Red Door, sifting, sorting, and organizing them into a useful form is quite another matter. To be sure, additional notes continued to be added to my collection, making the whole corpus of notes and references quite a beast. At last, I hunkered down and organized the most coherent of my notes into what I call The Read
