The House on Saint Julian by Francis Clark The House on Saint Julian by Francis Clark (Under the direction of Professor Reginald McKnight) Abstract: The House on Saint Julian is a gothic-horror novel set in Savannah, Geor- gia in 1874. In the opening chapter Saul Richardson is killed by a demon while in Saint Joseph’s Hospital. The death is witnessed by a nun, Sister Brigid, who was born to a family of wise women in Ireland. The church summons its magicians to deal with the demon, but the demon is too pow- erful. Brigid must rely on her few pagan connections remaining in Ireland to find a magician who can destroy the demon. In the course of the novel she recovers her pagan heritage and faith, led to her true path by another hereditary witch, Sister Angela, and the Voudon mambo, Esmerelda. At the conclusion of the novel, the two nuns leave the church and leave together for Sicily.

He was walking toward the hospital tent. Around it were men broken in battle, arms and legs smashed by rifle balls, sword cuts al- ready infected with the filth of the battlefield. Cannons rumbled in the distance. Couriers rattled back and forth on the muddy trails of the camp. Beside the tent was the inevitable harbinger of his trade–a stack of arms and limbs sawn from men as they screamed. The Confederate doctors rarely had laudanum or whiskey to dull the patient’s pain while the saw rasped its way through the flesh and bone. Cutting the bone was always the most agonizing part. Some cried out. Some just cried. The ones who screamed seemed to do the best, though the screams haunted him as they did every doctor. In his dream he would enter a tent, a vague concoction of the tents at Shiloh, Antietam, and a half dozen lesser battles where the men of the South died for “the Cause.” Someone he thought he knew handed him a saw and a scalpel. Somnolent, deadened, he walked to a table where a pa- tient lay, his pants crudely ripped back, revealing a shattered right leg. “Hold him,” he muttered to the two Negro orderlies who stood at the head of the table, like waiters in a crude feast. As they moved to hold him down, the boy raised his head, and Gaston saw that he was young, maybe sixteen. “You’re not gonna take my laig,” he cried through the pain. “No choice, son.” He repeated the litany, “It’s your leg or your life.” “You’re not gonna take my laig.” Stubbornly repeated. “Hold him.” The orderlies tightened their grip, yet the boy struggled to raise his head. “Butcher.” He said it calmly, pronouncing judgment on the doctor. Page 1 The screaming began when he cut into the flesh with his scalpel. So much like cut- ting up a cow or a pig, only this flesh lived, this flesh could scream with a human voice. Until then the dream had been true to reality, so close to what he had seen and done a thousand times, even down to his feeling of cold detachment as he sliced away a part of a man who might never feel like a man again. But then the insanity started, the tent began to drum as things fell against the canvas. The poles swayed; the oil lamps rocked with the impact. Where the objects struck, each left an imprint of blood. The tent began to sag under the strain. The blood leaked through the canvas. A seam over his head split, and shattered arms and legs fell on him. Some were mangled stumps, some putrid with gangrene, some freshly removed. Some limbs were tattered, some cleanly cut. The tattered ones betrayed the work of a soldier. The cleanly cut were the work of doctors. All the limbs fell straight at him. A putrid thigh slapped him in the face, blinding him in one eye with its trail of gore. As the limbs cascaded through the rent canvas and beat him to the floor, he saw a fervid look of victory in the face of the boy. “Ain’t gonna get me. Ain’t gonna get mine.” Then he was swamped in the onrush of limbs, buried in a mound of bone and blood and torn meat. He clawed madly for the surface, but it was out of reach, the tide was endless. He tried to breathe, but his mouth and nose were blocked by a putrefying gore that made him retch. He would wake up gasping for air. The sour mash whiskey he kept by his bedside was the only thing strong enough to wash the taste out of his mouth. It had been almost ten years since Appomattox, and Savannah once again grew rich on the cotton trade. But Gaston’s dream and his memories never let him enjoy the peace and the new prosperity. He always remembered that one half of the budget of the state of Mississippi was spent to pay for artificial limbs in 1866. That fact reminded him Page 2 that for three years he had not been a doctor, just a meat cutter and an expert at the final game of triage. He heard his boy running up the stairs. “Doc Gaston, Doc Gaston, you needed.” Ezekiel began knocking

PLATOFF* Introduction The field of vexillology is, by nature, a multidisciplinary one. It is difficult to understand the significance of an individual flag or group of flags without exam- ining the context within which those objects were created and are used. This paper will present a case study of a multidisciplinary investigation of one type of flags. Haitian Vodou flags (drapo Vodou) are little known to vexillologists, but have been studied by scholars in the fields of art, anthropology, African-American studies, and other disciplines. An investigation of prior scholarship from these areas demon- strates that this category of flags is not only significantly different than the flags usually examined by vexillologists, but they also have much to teach us about the study of flags as a multidisciplinary exercise. There are several books that are focused on Vodou flags. Patrick Arthur Polk, a prolific researcher on the topic, has produced a colorful and informative book titled Haitian Vodou Flags (1999). In his book, Polk summarizes information compiled in the preparation of his Ph.D. dissertation and during his work on exhibits related to the arts of Haiti. He explains the historical background of the flags, the role of the flags in ceremonies, the colors and symbolism, and he also includes colorful photos of a variety of drapo Vodou.

This packet is designed to give players an initial view into what might be expected of them and what they might expect of Wanga in the org, as well as to create a sort of primer on. The material here is drawn from White Wolf’s books, particularly Blood Sacrifice, and then adjusted and edited to provide a simple primer on the same material. No intent to offend or trivialize the belief of people who practice these religions in the real world is intended. White Wolf made it clear in their source material that the World of Darkness is built on lies and deception, and a lot of the material here builds on that premise.

    La verdad sobre el vudú Catholic.net Introducción: etimología y definición religiosa Vudú, o vodún, o vudún, (en inglés voodoo o voodou), es una palabra que significa “espíritu” en la lengua Fon y Ewe. Es el vudú una religión oriunda de la costa atlántica de África. La podemos situar en la actualidad en los países siguientes: Nigeria, Benín, Togo y Ghana. El vudú es una religión que practican distintas tribus como los Ewe, los Fon, los Mina o los Kabye, que se encuentran en estas regiones antes mencionadas, así como miembros de países centroamericanos y suramericanos principalmente, provenientes de los esclavos africanos llevados a este continente durante la época de la esclavitud. El vudú como religión animista Hemos de precisar que la religión vudú es una religión animista. Una religión es animista si cree que entidades no humanas son seres divinos o espíritus, o al menos participan o son poseedoras de principios o potencialidades divinas. El animista cree que no hay separación entre el mundo material y el trascendente, por lo que rocas, montes, plantas, animales, fenómenos atmosféricos, y demás entidades materiales tienen un alma o un espíritu, o manifiestan a dioses y espíritus de distintas categorías dentro de la jerarquía trascendente. Influencia del vudú El vudú ha sido el origen de muchas otras religiones y creencias que han surgido en las islas de América en la zona del Caribe, en regiones del sur de Norte América, o en Suramérica, como el vudú de Haití, el vudú de Puerto Rico, el vudú de República Dominicana, o el vudú de Luisiana.

  • GABRIEL KNIGHT: SINS of the FATHERS a Reconstruction of the Game Script Recompiled by Bonny Ploeg
    GABRIEL KNIGHT: SINS OF THE FATHERS a reconstruction of the game script recompiled by Bonny Ploeg This script was built by yours truly since someone on the Gabriel Knight 4 Campaign forum asked for one. As I had done the Gabriel Knight 3 script as well, which was very rewarding, I decided to make this document too. It was created using the amazing SCI Viewer tool. I extracted all documents with subtitle text into Notepad files. SCI orders them in the following manner: Two interrogations per file, except for Gerde; one file for the help interface, one file for the inventory interface, one file for “use inventory item on Gabriel”, one file for the Rada Drum interface, one file for the Tape Recorder interface, two files for St Georges, and one file for each different location. In case of the larger scenes, like Cemetery, Secret Voodoo Hounfour and Jackson Square, there is also one file for the lines that are in each of the sections of the location. I largely used this division for the order in my script. The questions in the interrogation scenes, and the objects in the inventory, were ordered alphabetically by the programmers. There is not as startling much new content as in Gabriel Knight 3, but there is still enough to make a bonus section, which is at the bottom of this document.
