Haroun

I love origins. So while working on the sequel to BRITTLE, I came across this little tidbit, related to the book I just finished, Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie. (That book - <3 - tells of a great storyteller whose 'input pipe' ( from the Story  Stream) has been shut off by a magical plumber-type being from another world, and his son's great journey to a world beyond the moon in order to get it open again.

Anyway, while reading about the jnun (djinn, "genies") of North Africa, I started reading about some of the greatest jnun and came across this: "The most popular (jnun) are Haroun and Harouna -- two Jewish names -- aquatic monsters that live in the Sebou." The Sebou is a river in northern Morocco.

Yeah I'm a geek. Haha  LUVIN IT

OpenSource for the human soul

As a former student of world religions, peaked interest in all things spiritual/magical/mysterious/occult, I'm obliged to share this phenomenal database: Internet Sacred Text Archive. From African to Zoroastrian, Americana Atlantis and DNA to Roma Shinto and SubRosa, Qabalah, Book of Shadows, Biblical Apocrypha and Chaldean, Osiris, Shamanism...... Heard of the Library of Alexandria? Well it's here

Oh, and as you're busy commanding spirits and djinns, manipulating the forces of fortune, I could use a few thousand $ :)

BRITTLE explores the fact that the slave pegged for bewitching the first group of Salem Village girls brought her occult practices from Barbados, where she was "purchased". What occult practices are there in the Caribbean? Voodoo. But why isn't much said of this?

Sara gets mixed up with Baron LaCroix, one of the Guede Loa spirits of death, the afterlife, and other non-YA things. In BRITTLE, I take some poetic license and mix certain elements of other Loa to form Baron LaCroix's character. 

This is the image on Sara's amulet:
