Firstly I would like to thank the School of Divinity for the scholarship and the opportunity they provided me in being able to do this PhD. I would like to thank my ‘numerous’ supervisors who have given of their time, energy and knowledge in making this thesis possible: To Professor Hans Barstad for his patience, advice and guiding hand, in particular for his ‘adopting’ me as his own. For his understanding and help with German I am most grateful. To Dr Peter Hayman for giving of his own time to help me in learning Hebrew, then accepting me to study for a PhD, and in particular for his attention to detail.

  • Paladin Rising Paladins Are Warriors Who Are Sworn to Uphold the Cause of Good
    Paladin Rising Paladins are warriors who are sworn to uphold the cause of Good. It is the dream of every paladin to transcend this corrupt world and become a demigod. During this Journey to Ascension, a paladin will face many moral dilemmas, for things are never as they seem. This is a game about good people who do bad things.You are tightly bound by your oath to never do evil. The more good things you do, the higher you rise. The more evil things you do, the faster you fall. As a paladin, you will be thrown into morally obnoxious situations where you must avoid doing evil at all costs. Concoct a plan on the edge of logical absurdity. Get someone else’s hands dirty. Whatever it takes. As long as you didn’t technically do anything wrong, you’ll be in the clear. Character Creation Holy Points (HP): Each paladin begins play with four Holy Points. Holy Points are the core of this game. When a paladin performs a good deed, regardless of intention, he gains a number of Holy Points. When a paladin performs an evil deed, regardless of intention, he loses some Holy Points. When a paladin’s HP falls below zero, he falls from grace and loses his status as a paladin, along with all of his paladin powers. He can only be redeemed by going on an Apology Quest. If a paladin obtains twelve Holy Points, he becomes a demigod. Skills: Skills indicate what a paladin is good at. A paladin has 24 skill points to allocate to his skills as he sees fit.

  • Glamorous Witchcraft: Gender and Magic in Teen Film and Television Screen.Oxfordjournals.Org
    Downloaded from Glamorous witchcraft: gender and magic in teen film and television screen.oxfordjournals.org RACHEL MOSELEY This essay brings together two interests, first, teen films and television programmes and the ways in which they deal with a at Memorial University of Newfoundland on October 19, 2010 significant moment of identity formation, exploring and policing the borders of femininity, and second, representations of the witch and of magic in film and television. My focus is on the figure of the youthful or teenage female witch as a discursive site in which the relationship between feminism (as female power), and femininity has been negotiated in historically specific ways. Beginning with an exploration of the concept of 'glamour', and using it to address texts from Bewitched (US. tx 1964-72) to Charmed (US, tx 1998- ), through Came (Brian De Palma, 1976), The Craft (Andrew Fleming. 1996), Practical Magic (Griffin Dunne, 1998), Sabnna the Teenage Witch (US, tx 1996- ) and Buff)' the Vampire Slayer (US. tx 1997- ), I will argue that the representation of the teen witch is a significant site through which the articulation in popular culture of the shifting relationship between 1970s second-wave feminism, postfeminism in the 1990s and femininity can be traced. I begin by offering three related ideas on the subject of magic and femininity which inform this discussion. The first is a definition from The Oxford English Dictionarv: glamour sh. 1 Magic, enchantment, spell ... 2 a. A magical or fictitious beauty attaching to any person or object: a delusive or 1 R W Burchfield led I The Oxford alluring charm, b Charm, attractiveness; physical allure, esp.
