That’s what Beaulac, Louisiana, detective Kara Gillian was asking herself when an angelic creature named Rhyzkahl unexpectedly appeared during a routine summoning. Kara was hoping to use her occult skills to catch a serial killer, but never had she conjured anything like this unearthly beautiful and unspeakably powerful being whose very touch set off exquisite new dimensions of pleasure. But can she enlist his aid in helping her stop a killer who’s already claimed the lives—and souls—of thirteen people? And should she? The Symbol Man is a nightmare that the city thought had ended three years ago. Now he’s back for an encore and leaving every indication on the flesh of his victims that he, too, is well versed in demonic lore. Kara may be the only cop on Beaulac’s small force able to stop the killer, but it is her first homicide case. Yet with Rhyzkahl haunting her dreams, and a handsome yet disapproving FBI agent dogging her waking footsteps, she may be in way over her head. . . .

Book Synopsis They Fought Like Demons by : DeAnne Blanton
Download or read book They Fought Like Demons written by DeAnne Blanton and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular images of women during the American Civil War include self-sacrificing nurses, romantic spies, and brave ladies maintaining hearth and home in the absence of their men. However, as DeAnne Blanton and Lauren M. Cook show in their remarkable new study, that conventional picture does not tell the entire story. Hundreds of women assumed male aliases, disguised themselves in men’s uniforms, and charged into battle as Union and Confederate soldiers—facing down not only the guns of the adversary but also the gender prejudices of society. They Fought Like Demons is the first book to fully explore and explain these women, their experiences as combatants, and the controversial issues surrounding their military service. Relying on more than a decade of research in primary sources, Blanton and Cook document over 240 women in uniform and find that their reasons for fighting mirrored those of men—-patriotism, honor, heritage, and a desire for excitement. Some enlisted to remain with husbands or brothers, while others had dressed as men before the war. Some so enjoyed being freed from traditional women’s roles that they continued their masquerade well after 1865. The authors describe how Yankee and Rebel women soldiers eluded detection, some for many years, and even merited promotion. Their comrades often did not discover the deception until the “young boy” in their company was wounded, killed, or gave birth. In addition to examining the details of everyday military life and the harsh challenges of -warfare for these women—which included injury, capture, and imprisonment—Blanton and Cook discuss the female warrior as an icon in nineteenth-century popular culture and why twentieth-century historians and society ignored women soldiers’ contributions. Shattering the negative assumptions long held about Civil War distaff soldiers, this sophisticated and dynamic work sheds much-needed light on an unusual and overlooked facet of the Civil War experience.

Book Synopsis The Lady of Linshui Pacifies Demons by :
Download or read book The Lady of Linshui Pacifies Demons written by and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lady of Linshui—the goddess of women, childbirth, and childhood—is still venerated in south China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Her story evolved from the life of Chen Jinggu in the eighth century and blossomed in the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) into vernacular short fiction, legends, plays, sutras, and stele inscriptions at temples where she is worshipped. The full-length novel The Lady of Linshui Pacifies Demons narrates Chen Jinggu’s lifelong struggle with and eventual triumph over her spirit double and rival, the White Snake demon. Among accounts of goddesses in late imperial China, this work is unique in its focus on the physical aspects of womanhood, especially the dangers of childbirth, and in its dramatization of the contradictory nature of Chinese divinities. This unabridged, annotated translation provides insights into late imperial Chinese religion, the lives of women, and the structure of families and local society.
Book Synopsis Women Through the Lens by : Shuqin Cui
Download or read book Women Through the Lens written by Shuqin Cui and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2003-02-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women Through the Lens raises the question of how gender, especially the image of woman, acts as a visual and discursive sign in the creation of the nation-state in twentieth-century China. Tracing the history of Chinese cinema through the last hundred years from the perspective of transnational feminism, Shuqin Cui reveals how women have been granted a "privileged visibility" on screen while being denied discursive positions as subjects. In addition, her careful attention to the visual language system of cinema shows how "woman" has served as the site for the narration of nation in the context of China's changing social and political climate. Placing gender and nation in a historical framework, the book first shows how early productions had their roots in shadow plays, a popular form of public entertainment. In examining the "Red Classics" of socialist cinema as a mass cultural form, the book shows how the utopian vision of emancipating the entire proletariat, women included, produced a collective ideology that declared an end to gender difference. Cui then documents and discusses the cinematic spectacle of woman as essential to such widely popular films as Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" and Zhang Yimou's "Ju Do." Finally, the author brings a feminist perspective to the issues of gender and nation by turning her attention to women directors and their self-representations.

Download or read book Women and Demons written by Gerda Sengers and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rich ethnographic study describes the nearly impossible challenge of the daily existence of women in the poor neighbourhoods of Cairo. When these women fall ill they often put the blame on beings from an invisible world that invaded their body (possession), and they seek the help of traditional healers in the Zar ceremony or Koran healing. This book examines in detail the links between cosmology, power and gender. It tackles questions such as ‘what is possession, what is being said with it, and what does society have to do with it?’. The author, who lived a long time in various poor areas of Cairo, attended many sessions of Koran healing and participated in the Zar ceremony. She observed and interviewed many possessed women, as well as healers and other ‘demon specialists’.
Book Synopsis How to Seduce Women Like a Demon by : Kent Lamarc
Download or read book How to Seduce Women Like a Demon written by Kent Lamarc and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of this book is surely controversial and may generate different reactions in readers. But there's a very realistic background supporting the intention of writing it in such a way, and it's indeed based on extensively researched facts and personal experiences.Even though mainstream science still refuses to accept the possibility of demonic possession, and all other phenomena that tend to be categorized under the section of the paranormal, there are many psychiatrists that have witnessed and testified in favor of the belief that demonic possession is a fact.On the other hand, even though there's a growing number of skeptics among the priesthood of the christian church, many admitted to have performed exorcisms and continue to do so.My attitude regarding this issue started as being one of skepticism as well, although an increasing number of evidences forced me to accept this truth in order to learn how to manage it in my own life.I always had a strong interest in the two main fields of the human mind, namely, psychology and spirituality. Therefore, I spent my entire life, since I was five, to be more precise, inside religious organizations, most of them christian.Only later did I found interest in satanism, as a way to expand my awareness about human conscience, and not necessarily follow it.Within this growing interest about the spiritual side of life, I was inspired by thousands of pages about real cases of demonic possession, and, even though I never really enjoyed watching horror movies about it, and still don't, I had to be strong in confronting the fact that these situations were occurring inside my life as well.At this point, not only did I realized that I was born inside a family of possessed individuals, but also that this is a very common problem in our society, as many experts in the topic have been admitting.The higher stage of this awareness came when I started dating possessed women, although at first not knowing about it, and then believing that I could handle them.It was at this point that I acknowledged an inner battle between being a man and a spirit, and the fact that many women addicted to sex, and specially nymphomaniacs and hookers, are possessed, in different degrees, by demonic entities.It was scary when I started noticing it, because I had the information to see it, but was equally intriguing to learn from these negative insights.One of the most interesting things that I've understood from these cases is that, women and men that are possessed in a very high degree, also known as the perfectly possessed, are among the best seducers in the world. And, even though they'll never expose their secrets or write a book about it, I came to know that they all follow the exact same rules and principles, because the nature of their demons is always the same, perfectly matching the real-life descriptions of exorcised individuals.Demons operate as a legion, a group of entities with a shared conscience, so even though they can adjust to their victim, the steps performed are always the same for thousands of years.This is where this book becomes unique, because I expose here the whole path of how a demon possesses an individual, in a way that can be applied to seduction as well, as that's exactly what a demon does. Demons seduce their victims because they can't possess them by force and against their will.In this book, I will reveal conclusions that I have obtained from such experiences, and tell you how to seduce a woman with the same strategy.Any resemblance between the behavior demonstrated in this book and the one of famous individuals is not a coincidence. And, if the device in which you downloaded this book crashes, please go to the nearest church and pray. The writer won't be responsible for the spiritual consequences that this book may have in your life.
