Dreamcatchers.Pdf Wyrd Tales The kidnappings happened every fifth week, a child taken right from their rooms. For the most part, it was the disaffected youths. Kids who wore the heavy black and whined about their lives because they thought they were hard. The parents still made the effort to look for them, police tried to find anyone with information. Feds were brought in with specialists and corpse sniffing dogs and underground sonar. It all amounted to shit. For us, we just started rattling our usual contacts. The drug pushers didn’t know anything, they were too busy dealing with a bunch of vampires outside of town. The Union didn’t know either, since they were too focused on the plant closings in the area to fight monsters at the moment. We were left with one option then, and none of us really “liked” it. But if anyone had a chance of seeing those kids again, we had to use it. So we went to the shop, “Holistics For You” . It wasn’t some dumb crystal gazer shop that was packed with tacky statues and little pieces of rocks for you to feel your “energy” in. It was a bookstore, really, catering to a very specific crowd. Inside were books in dead languages, from Sanskrit tablets to preservation jars full of brine and God knows what inside, the air inside musty and stale. We didn’t like to go to this place, Jerry especially, but we needed to find what was happening, and the owner of this place was our only source. The owner wasn’t what you’d expect. She called herself “Dessie” , but I’m almost sure it wasn’t her real name. Course, we never used our real names with her, so it probably evened out. She was feeding her dog as we came in, petting his head as we came up to the counter, wearing a pencil skirt and white blouse. All I know is that despite my loving wife, it was a good thing there was a counter above my waist. “Dessie,” I said, as behind me, the cell kept watch in the store. “Oh, hey,” she said, getting up, showing a little leg. “What’s up?” “You’ve heard about the kidnappings?” I asked, not removing my sunglasses. “I did, but I didn’t think much of them. Why, you think you know something?” She leaned over the counter towards me, smiling innocently. I didn’t buy it, seeing as that was the same smile she had on when she changed into a dog-thing and cut a vampire to pieces three months ago. “A buddy in the police gave us this,” I said, taking the piece of thorn out of my pocket, sliding it across the counter. “It was found in one of the victim’s rooms, figured you might know something about it.” Carefully, Dessie took the thorn, and looked it over, spinning it around in her fingers. Her smile disappeared. “I think I know what this is, and if I’m right, you’re never seeing those kids again.” Jerry kicked at a bookcase, sending one or two tumbling to the floor. From behind the counter, the dog growled. “What, your Devil worshipping friends decided they’d make some good sacrifices, is that it?” “I’ve told you all before, I don’t worship anything you consider evil,” Dessie said, shooting Jerry a look. “Now can you please pick those up before you make me angry?” With a sneer, Jerry grabbed the books and put them back. He was an angry sonuvabitch, but he knew we weren’t the home team in this shop. “So, you said you saw this before?” I asked, trying to diffuse the situation. “When I Awakened, I traveled to a land of faeries,” she said, Jerry letting out a snort. “These are not the faeries you know about, though. These weren’t cute little men making toys for a great bearded drunk, they were beings of magic, pure magic.” “Are they human?” I asked, daring to step into her train of thought. 1 “Not all of them,” she said, taking out a box of matches. “The big ones, the real faeries, they’re totally inhuman, not a trace of emotion or empathy in them. They’re only interested in themselves, only concerned with what can keep them ‘entertained’ for as long as possible.” As she spoke, she lit the thorns on fire, and I watched as the flames went from red to green. My spine tingled. “They’re kidnappers?” I asked. “And worse,” she said. “On that shelf your friend just kicked, there’s a book on faeries that should tell you what you need to know.” “Hell with that,” Jerry said. “We can find this monster without her help.” “No, it could help us,” I said, ignoring Jerry’s cursing. “How much?” Dessie’s smile returned in a flash. “For you? Seventy.” “You’re kidding me,” I said. “Seventy bucks for a book that might not even be what I’m looking for? Thirty.” “You want any information at all you’ll take what I’m offering. Forty-five.” He smiled got a little wider, making me feel uncomfortable. “Thirty five,” I said. “Because if you don’t sell us the book cheap, more kids are gonna go missing. Can you live with yourself knowing you could have helped to stop this?” Dessie chewed on her lip for a second, then nodded. “Thirty five,” she said, sticking out her hand. I shook it only for a second, and took the cash from my wallet. Nodding to Jerry, he took the book from the shelf, sneering at Dessie as he left. So there we were, in the warehouse, putting the door into place. It looked weird, just a door standing up in the middle of a concrete floor, but according to the book, it was supposed to work with what we had planned. Jerry was almost finished pouring the salt around the door, cursing about the “pagan devil worship” we were committing. Lisa and Joe took the catwalks above the door, Joe loading his rifle, a leftover from his Marine days. Lisa was busy rigging the chains. If anything did go wrong, at least the freak probably wasn’t gonna leave the warehouse alive. “We set?” Joe shouted, chambering a round. “I’m feeling real uneasy about this.” “I told Louis to call the cops if we didn’t get back to him by one,” I said, going to the monster’s name, as Jerry got the trade objects from the wall to put inside the circle. An old inkwell, an MP3 player, a mannequin, and a plastic mask of the most famous Alaskan governor. If the book was right, this would be some kind of bargaining chip, if the monster was like it was described. “Okay, everyone got to your positions,” I said, checking that the ring of salt wasn’t broken. With the other three in place, I started calling out the thing’s name. “*Later*, Lord of All Words, High Powerful of the Contract of Language, come forth, for I have business with you.” The door nearly flew off it’s hinges, a great roar opening it. Looking inside, I couldn’t believe for a second what I was seeing. A great barrier of thorns was suddenly behind the door, where before there was only the other side of the warehouse. It was bright too, and I almost went blind before shoving my sunglasses back onto my face. Grabbing for my pistol, I watched as the great monster emerged from the door, great sheets of parchment covering it’s body, it’s eyes milky white, a group of creatures scribbling on it’s parchments. I realized that some of the creatures had faces like the missing teens. “You who have summoned me,” he shouted, pointing a massive quill at my face. “Why have you summoned one as I to such a dismal place?” “I’m here to deal,” I said. “You give us back the kids you took, we’ll give you that in their place.” Despite how I tried to make my voice sound, I couldn’t help but be terrified at the monster in front of me. It’s face alone was bigger than my chest, and I realized that it’s beard had managed to become the very parchment that the teens were scribbling on. The monster looked the thing over, smiling as it did. Whether it liked what it saw or was working out a way to kill us, I didn’t know. Rearing up, it laughed, the teens cringing away in fear, but still writing. I got a look at the parchment, and couldn’t make sense of half of the stuff on it. One of the kids was scribbling on calligraphy from some Asian nation, while another was illuminating like how they wrote old bibles. “This is but a trinket, man,” it said, batting the mannequin away. My eyes shot to the salt circle, and I silently thanked God that the thing was still intact. “What have you to truly offer me?” I desperately eyed the warehouse, but that was all we had thought to bring, until I remembered the book. Grabbing it, I held it up. Despite being what I could only call blind, his eyes latched on to the book, following it wherever I moved it. “You want it? Well we’ve got to make a deal.” 2 “And what deal would that be, man?” he said.

  • Pagan Beliefs in Ancient Russia. by Luceta Di Cosimo, Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands, Aethelmearc
    1 Pagan Beliefs in Ancient Russia. By Luceta di Cosimo, Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands, Aethelmearc. [email protected] ©2006-2017 Slavic mythology is a difficult subject. The historical evidence is fragmented, with many conflicting sources and multiple later literary inventions. This is a brief reconstruction of ancient Russian mythology. The first archaeological findings that can be attributed to Slavs date to approximately 6th c. AD. The origins of Slavs are still debated. The pagan Slavic society was an oral society. Christianity, which introduced writing, was more concerned with eradication rather than preservation of pagan beliefs. No one really tried to preserve and record whatever remained, until late period. Then, there is some evidence recorded from the Germans who visited Russia in 18th c., but a lot of it is based on the written 15thc. sources, rather than eyewitness accounts. The 19th c. Europe saw renewed interest in folklore, and combined with rise of nationalism and need for developed mythos, a lot of what was left was recorded, but a lot was altered to make it more palatable, and questionable things (especially with fertility rituals) were edited out as not to besmirch the emerging national character. During the Soviet time, the study of any religion was problematic, due to mandatory atheism. Eventually, the study of the early Slavic traditions was permitted, and even encouraged, but, everything had to pass stringent censorship rules, and could not contradict Marxist-Leninist philosophy. So, people who had the material (in the USSR) could not publish, and people who actually could publish (in the West) did not have access to the materials.

Like the Romance and Germanic peoples, they are related by area and culture, not so much by blood. Today there are thirteen different Slavic groups divided into three blocs, Eastern, Southern and Western. These include the Russians, Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Serbians,Croatians, Macedonians, Slovenians, Bulgarians, Kashubians, Albanians and Slovakians. Although the Lithuanians, Estonians and Latvians are of Baltic tribes, we are including some of their customs as they are similar to those of their Slavic neighbors. Slavic Runes were called "Runitsa", "Cherty y Rezy" ("Strokes and Cuts") and later, "Vlesovitsa".

Music; M. Music Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin December 2011 Acknowledgements I would like to gratefully acknowledge both Tom Garza and Bella Jordan for their support and encouragement. Their combined expertise has made this research much more fruitful than it might have been otherwise. I would also like to thank Michael Pesenson to whom I will forever be indebted for giving me the push to “study what I like” and who made time for my magicians and shamans even when he was up to his neck in sibyls. iii Abstract Evidence of Shamanism in Russian Folklore Jason Edward Roberts, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 Supervisor: Thomas Jesús Garza A wealth of East Slavic folklore has been collected throughout Russia, Ukraine, and Belorussia over a period of more than a hundred years. Among the many examinations that have been conducted on the massive corpus of legends, fabulates, memorates, and charms is an attempt to gain some understanding of indigenous East Slavic religion. Unfortunately, such examination of these materials has been overwhelmingly guided by political agenda and cultural bias. As early as 1938, Yuri Sokolov suggested in his book, Russian Folklore, that some of Russia’s folk practices bore a remarkable resemblance to shamanic practices, commenting specifically on a trance like state which some women induced in themselves by means of an whirling dance.
