Book Excerpt for the Day


    Some people may think it’s silly, but the whole ritual of birthday wishes has always seemed to me to be a simplified form of spellcrafting.  You send your wish to the Gods, by using your breath to blow the flames, (and your wish), from the manifest world to the unmanifest world.  Hoping that your wish will be granted and return to you in manifest form.
