Life is good for Zsálya the witch until one day her friend Gyárfás surprises her with an unpleasant revelation.Teen Witch Exiled to Appalachia!Morrigan Mather was a fifteen-year-old genius (IQ 156) on the fast track to over-achievement in suburban Portland, Oregon – where being a slightly-nerdy second-generation Wiccan priestess was merely unusual. Then her grandmother died and she and her big Brady-Bunchy pagan step-family all move across the continent into her sprawling, beautiful old Victorian house . . . in rural Appalachia. And it’s a big family: Mom, Dad, one brother, one step-brother, two half-sisters and a half-brother – and that’s just the kids who still live at home! They find Maylands of North Carolina are gorgeous, the very bones of the Earth -- Morrigan and her pagan family have never felt closer to the natural world they adore. But they aren’t inclined to hide their religion from the suspicious country folk, either. The Town of Millers Ferry has been there since before the Civil War – but will it survive a whole family full of out-of-the-broom-closet witches?Like any true genius, Morrigan sees the locals’ fear and distrust as a challenge. From the first day of school at Northern High, her openly-displayed silver pentagram causes a fuss, and her unwillingness to remove it get her kicked out. As she fights for the right to openly display the symbol of her faith, and tries to educate people in the reality of Wicca, she’s guided by the goddess Athena in the struggle and gains some unlikely allies: a big-nosed goth girl named Catherine, a reallllly cute “bad boy” from the trailer park, Ryan, and – most surprising of all – one of the town’s two Baptist preachers.But her family’s faith has attracted enemies, too: an evangelical English teacher at school, her husband – the other, more conservative Baptist preacher in town – and an ignorant, drunken convenience store owner who thinks its open-season on witches! It’s going to take all the Wisdom of the goddess and the simple magick of Wicca to help Morrigan steer her way through the conflict and strife in a way that will keep her and her family safe and free to practice their religion in peace. But she’s up to the feat – Morrigan Mather hasn’t met a challenge she couldn’t handle, yet!

At sixteen, there are a lot of things about life Alaia knows. Her heritage is one she would rather forget. When faced with a choice that could change everything, what will be her new path?'My mother is really dead, I guess, because she cared so much about what she used to call ‘our culture’. She referred to me and her as if I was Ojibwe like she and not a half-blood with a dad that left us both one night when I was four. She went to the pow-wows every year, long after I stopped going.

In a world where dipterans have hunted most species to extinction, James is a Sprayer. He has had a hard life and he deserves to die in peace. If only, he weren't dying so young. It isn't all gloom and doom though, sharing his world are air-pirate heroines, metallic Gorillas and Horses that run on steam. Oh and airships!Anti-war poems and poems of social commentary by greedycrook. The human race has been intelligent enough to streamline the organisation of money, taxes and infrastructure to serve our needs but not intelligent enough to stop psychopaths and criminals taking control of it. Wealth in the hands of criminals gives power to evil and inevitably causes suffering to humanity. Governments led by psychopaths and sociopaths have the power to oppress and tyrannise entire populations Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler to name a few. In the 21st century we have a network of criminals in power in governments worldwide with their UN ‘Agenda 21’ which is an agenda for ‘sustainable development’ which is a euphemism for eugenics. Over 11000 children have been reportedlymurdered in Syria in a so called 'war'; this is blatant population reduction by the worldwide network of satanic criminals in power. Together politicians, and the 'elite' (scum) who rule them, stage 'wars' between countries with false flags and then sell weapons to both sides to make money and to reduce the population. The criminals in power also reduce human population using methods as well as war and famine such as: biological weapons; weather weapons; chemtrails; contaminated vaccines and austerity. The evil can’t be voted out of power in a so called democracy. All the leaders of the main parties have the same agenda just different names and faces with a different spin on the lies. In the UK for example all the main political party leaders are EU and Bilderberg Group controlled: they are all 'Common Purpose' the criminal network intent on destroying society as we know it for New World Order. In the US the equivalent is The Senior Executive Service. The world is in the grip of satanic fascism; we are living through a very dark period in human history. The good news is that the time of the warmongers and crooks in office is coming to an end: their evil and low energies will not survive in the Age of Aquarius.Queen and Country I will not buy your weapons.I will not kill or die for you.God is my authorityAnd God says, ‘Thou shalt not kill!’From poem 'Should I?' greedycrook
