Book Synopsis Shamans and Kushtakas by : Mary Giraudo Beck
Download or read book Shamans and Kushtakas written by Mary Giraudo Beck and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaman and Kushtaka, both struck terror in the hearts of the Tlingit and Haida, for both possessed frightening supernatural powers. Among the Natives of the Pacific Northwest Coast, the shaman was honored as a person who could heal the body and spirit as well as see into the future. In his struggles to protect his people, he fought the kushtaka an evil spirit being who was half human and half land hotter for the souls of dying persons. Theirs was a battle between the forces of good and evil, and today it remains a cornerstone in Tlingit and Haida mythology. Mary Giraudo Beck provides a powerful mix of history, legend, and adventure to dramatize the values and traditions of Tlingit and Haida societies. The heroic and wondrous incidents in these stories transcend time and culture and, as tales of myth and magic, provide compelling reading for young and old alike.

Book excerpt: Six months ago, Mark Pallano had it all: a beautiful home, a loving wife and a great job working with his best friend, the governor of New York. But now that's all just a memory as Mark wakes up in his Alaskan cabin, alone, and goes to work in a lumber mill. He tries to forget his old life and embrace the pseudo-drifter he's become. All seems quiet in his new home when a familiar darkness comes out of dormancy and is thirsty for blood, perhaps his own. Mark's greatest fears are realized when he is tormented by the malevolent Kushtaka, the most ancient and evil demon of Alaskan folklore. The battle is not for his life, but for his very soul.

Book excerpt: Deep in the Southeast Alaskan Rainforest lies a vast vein of raw gold that is unclaimed for a reason, it lies on Cursed Ground. The Bay of Death earned its name when a huge landslide wiped out a village of five hundred Alaskan Natives back before Russian contact. It was no ordinary village and the landslide no accident. The Kusaxa Kwaan were the cannibals of the realm and the landslide was caused by the other tribes of the area and they thought they had wiped their problems off the face of the Earth. Now the spirits of the Kusaxa Kwaan have adhered with the Kushtaka, the Land Otter Man, the changelings of Tlingit Mythology and they guard the treasure from any outsiders that seek it. No one visits the Bay of Death anymore so the vein sleeps and waits for a dreamer to come its way. Enter Jace Morgan, Alaska's most famous cartoonist. He has been obsessed with Thomas Bay since he was a child growing up on his Foster Parents fishing boat and his obsession leads him to the Bay alone, where he finds a Gold Nugget that is crudely fashioned into a tiny idol. Soon the voices in his head begin to drive him mad and the nightmares drive him back to face the ancient evil he has re-awakened in The Bay of Death. As it waits for him, with sharp, pointed teeth.

When Jenna Rosen abandons her comfortable Seattle life to visit Wrangell, Alaska, it’s a wrenching return to her past. The old home of her Native American grandmother, Wrangell is located near the Thunder Bay resort, where Jenna’s young son Bobby disappeared two years before. His body was never recovered, and Jenna is determined to lay to rest the aching mystery of his death. But whispers of ancient legends begin to suggest a frightening new possibility about Bobby’s fate, and Jenna must sift through the beliefs of her ancestors, the Tlingit -- who still tell of powerful, menacing forces at work in the Alaskan wilderness. Jenna is desperate for answers, and she appeals to a Tlingit shaman to help her sort fact from myth, and face the unthinkable possibilities head-on. Armed with nothing but a mother’s ferocious protective instincts, Jenna’s quest for the truth about her son -- and the strength of her beliefs -- is about to pull her into a terrifying and life-changing abyss....

Book excerpt: In Changelings, bestselling authors Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough returned to the sentient planet Petaybee with a story of growth and transformation in the face of deadly new threats. The telepathic, shapeshifting twins Murel and Ronan found that Petaybee had plans for them as well. Now those plans begin to bear fruit with fresh possibilities . . . and dangers. Now that Petaybee is forming a new equatorial island, the planet has agreed to harbor a group of new refugees, workers indentured to the powerful InterGal Corporation. But the mission to collect the immigrants becomes a rescue operation when it is revealed that InterGal is doing nothing to help these survivors of a world devastated by a meteor shower. Murel and Ronan set out to persuade the frightened refugees to come out of hiding, leave their world, and bring along their sacred totem animals, the gifted sea turtles called the Honus. But the twins discover that they’ve taken on more than they expected: The Honus are not the only animals sacred to the refugees. There are also the Manos, intelligent sharks who have lost none of their predatory habits–and who cannot be left behind to die. When the Manos are released into Petaybee’s waters, a tragic misunderstanding endangers the whole resettlement operation. At the same time, the mysterious sea otters who once rescued the twins’ father are suddenly revealed to be much more than they appear to be. Now it is up to Ronan and Murel, with the intrepid assistance of their river otter friend Sky, to smooth the waters before a maelstrom of revenge destroys Petaybee’s harmonious way of life. But even as the twins uncover startling new facts about Petaybee’s past that will change everything they thought they knew about the planet, the forces of InterGal are gathering, preparing to strike. . . .
