![]() I have not read the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series, not yet anyway, so I can’t speak to whether or not the television series is a faithful retelling of the novels - but I do understand the desire to preserve Anne Rice’s original creations. We all want to protect what we love, even if the thing we love is a work of fiction.Īdaptations can, obviously, be hit or miss. While I know that people tend to feel very protective when their favorite books are turned into movies or television shows, I’ve been surprised to see just how protective people can be over source material and how resistant they can be to any changes (see: Rings of Power discourse on Twitter, September 2022). My hopes had run high for Mayfair Witches, the newest Anne Rice adaptation on AMC, after loving Interview with the Vampire. This discussion and review contains some spoilers for Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches episode 1, “The Witching Hour,” which will premiere on AMC on January 8. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Since the main series is from Naho's perspective (excluding the previous volume since it's from Suwa's), it was refreshing and moving to see how much Kakeru's friends also deeply cared for him, not just Naho. I have LOVED all of Naho and Kakeru's friends and found great joy (tied in with sadness) in seeing a variety of situations from their perspectives. In fact, after the first chapter, I had to put it down when I first started it because I was not "in that mindset" where I felt I could read and handle this volume.ĭespite that I was nervous about how this ending would unfold, I found I really enjoyed this volume overall! In true fashion, this final volume starts just as heart-hitting as every volume prior to this one has been.

The numbers and figures on the charts refer to the chapters and sections of the Writings. This extremely rare volume was published at Frankfort and Leipzig in 17. The five plates reproduced in Hargrave Jennings' book are part of a series of fifteen diagrams which appear in The Magical, Qabbalistical, and Theosophical Writings of Georgius von Welling, on the Subject of Salt, Sulphur, and Mercury. ![]() A recent writer who reproduced one of these charts correlated it to the emblematic tomb of Father C.R.C., thus exposing the true nature of Christian Rosencreutz. He gives no information concerning their origin nor does he attempt an elucidation of their symbolism. IN his well-known work, The Rosicrucians, Their Rites and Mysteries, Hargrave Jennings reproduces five Qabbalistic charts which he declares to be genuine Rosicrucian drawings. 145 Fifteen Rosicrucian and Qabbalistic Diagrams Sacred Texts Esoteric Index Previous Next Secret Teachings of All Ages: Fifteen Rosicrucian and Qabbalistic Diagrams ![]() ![]() ![]() He took the CIA exam because he wanted to be a spy for the good guys (and not the "Good Company").Īges 10 and up will love this series' campy flavor.

Indeed, as Alex makes so clear: it’s the very same attitude that many of the left will then go on to chastise the right for in the next breath. ![]() These sorts of events and tragedies have repeatedly shone a bright light through the cracks in the system, but pointing at that and cheering can be just as much a part of the problem if you’re not careful. The kernel of the observation is correct, of course - at least to an extent.
