This is a story set in the North Carolina Mountains. It is about two families of Scotch-Irish and French decent. It centers on one 11 year old girl and her 6 year old sister and two boy cousins, one 13 years old and his 8 year old brother. The story begins in the year 1914. The author got many ideas for this book from an elderly lady (in her 90s) who was asked to take part in an oral history for her community by the Director of the Rural Life Museum which was part of university library. At that time the author of this book was a student at the university and she was studying to be a teacher as well as an art student. The sweet lady decided she wanted to write this story down into a book and she wanted to add illustrations, at least ten pictures. (We ended up with 40 illustrations). This is what brought these two together. While the lady was writing her book of community history, the university decided to ask the lady and the student (author) to do an Elderhostel Class for the university. The lady told the author (artist) many stories she did not put in her book, one of these stories became the "Fire" and another the "Grandfather". There really was a Frenchman who came to this community with his trained monkey that danced beside the organ grinder. And that little monkey is buried in the family cemetery. The author also included stories that her father told her such as the "Ghost". This story was of a haunting young woman who killed her husband in the early 1800s. She was hung for it in 1838 and this too is a true story from these mountains.

Witchcraft Today is a book written by Gerald B. Gardner, which explores the modern revival of witchcraft and its history. The author, who is considered to be the father of modern witchcraft, presents his own experiences and observations of the practices and beliefs of witchcraft. The book covers various topics, including the origins of witchcraft, the role of witches in society, the practices and rituals of witchcraft, and the controversy surrounding the religion. Gardner also discusses the different types of witches and their beliefs, such as the Wiccan Rede and the Threefold Law. The book is considered a seminal work in the study of modern witchcraft and has influenced the development of contemporary pagan religions. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and practice of witchcraft.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Commemorating its 50th anniversary, an expanded edition of the first Wicca book, by the father of the Pagan renaissance. Written shortly after the repeal of the English Witch laws in 1954, WITCHCRAFT TODAY offered the world a new religion, Wicca, and captured the imaginations of spiritual seekers everywhere. The author, Gerald Gardner, was writing about a small, secret coven of hereditary Witches, brave people who had hidden their faith for centuries to avoid persecution. His descriptions of their practices and history, their working tools and festivals, impelled a rediscovery of indigenous British religion and, globally, fueled a movement now boasting between 3 and 5 million members, making Wicca one of the fastest growing religions in the United States. To celebrate the anniversary, Citadel Press is proud to be republishing Gardner's book in an expanded edition with contributions from today's Wiccan elders on the religion's past, present, and future. From Picts and pixies to Knights Templars and persecution; from Celtic cauldrons to Kabbalitic magic, Witchcraft Today also includes important biographical information on Gardner and his historical context. This is an urgently needed reissue of a classic work to be used for study, reflection, inspiration, and transformative ideas, invaluable to understanding the Craft and its path.

Developing and Sustaining Successful First -Year Programs First-year programs and interventions have become critical launching pads for student success and retention in higher education. However, these programs often flounder not because of what they are trying to do, but because of the ways in which they are implemented. Developing and Sustaining Successful First-Year Programs offers faculty, academic administrators, and student affairs professionals a comprehensive and practical resource that includes step-by-step guidance for developing new first-year programs and enhancing existing programs. The book explores the key elements that contribute to sustained student success and the programs that have the capacity to continue to meet student needs while making the most of scarce resources. The authors show how to create and sustain critical partnerships, put in place the needed organizational structures, and include strategies for developing effective assessments and evaluations. Developing and Sustaining Successful First-Year Programs is filled with illustrative examples and profiles of successful programs from a range of institutions that vary in size, type, selectivity, and culture. Examples of common programs and interventions include summer bridge programs, student orientation, first-year seminars, learning communities, residential programs, developmental education, and many more. Based in scholarly literature, theory, and practice, the book highlights the initiatives that facilitate the transition, learning, development, and success of new college students.
