The Ice Maiden

This is the story of two women who break the rules. The first is a Bronze Age princess whose remains were found preserved in the permafrost in the Altai Mountains. She is a Shamanka, a traveller through time, but her gifts come with a price. She is dominated by The Raven, the ruler of the Pazyrck spiritual world. The second woman is Claire Perry, an education officer at the City Museum. When Claire is sent to Novosibirsk to catalogue artefacts for a forthcoming exhibition on shamanic art she begins to believe that the Ice Maiden has requested her to undertake an impossible task. She steals one of the artefacts, the Ice Maiden’s shamanic mirror. On a trek to the Altai Mountains Claire doubts her mission. Why has she been chosen and what is the purpose of the mirror? And why does she keep dreaming about ravens?

Hitch - an Enigma, a Dreamer, a Rocker.

Hitch was created angry. Very angry. How can we have lived on this planet for so many years and we still get it so wrong, every day in every way? Hitch reflects on this with emotionally charged lyrics. He writes music that is heavy but lifted by melodic synths and operatic overtures.

The result? Music that touches your soul. Superhero? You Decide.

Anarchy Reigns - a project band that was the brainchild of the artist known as Hitch.

Hitch is the product of the 70s and 80s and strives to create modern melodic rock with meaningful lyrics which often tackle some of the current key issues in society.

Their debut EP, Anger Issues came from a comment by Hitch’s step daughter who remarked to him that all of his songs were angry and he had Anger Issues.

From that comment the concept grew into this remarkable debut EP.

Rae Beth - An Original Hedge Witch

The Nine Magical Ways

Author of the best-selling Hedge Witch, Rae Beth is enthusiastically committed to the new Paganism, feeling that it contains the healing message we need to live well in our world today. the Nine Magical Ways (52 pages, eBook and Kindle) is Rae's fifth book.

Author's Description:
Anyone can do magic, once they know how, just as anyone learn to cook, even if not quite so well as an expert chef. An understanding of magic belongs to us all and is a birthright. Our ancestors were well aware of this. Much as they seem to have respected the experts, their wisewomen or shamanic healers (the people who had made a profound study of magic and undergone initiations into its deeper mysteries) they knew that there are some everyday uses of magic, to which all have access. In every ancient culture, right from Australia to America, Europe and everywhere else as well, they knew about natural magic and used it for many purposes. This is not because most of our ancestors were superstitious fools, and lacking in knowledge, but because they knew some things rather better than we do now.
