They are “the image of the idealized form of a myth creature” or, simply said, archetype images of heroes, beasts, damsels, knights, monsters, born out of fear and hatred almost always unconsciously called upon in times of crisis and repeating their fate until the story cycle is complete and the next one begins again. A dense and enchanting forest, Ryhope Wood is as old as time itself and it’s the “home” of many mythagos, former and present. Both novels tell the tales of seemingly ordinary individuals, who feel the magic and the calling of the nearby Ryhope Wood. If you need a bit of a refresher (as I did), Lavondyss is the indirect sequel to another book we reviewed more than a year ago – Mythago Wood. Hence, I’m typing this just after finishing part one. This usually happens when I read non-fiction, however, Robert Holdstock’s Lavondyss is probably one of the few exceptions. ![]() Rarely do I feel the need to write down everything going through my mind whilst reading something. ![]() ![]() ![]() The plan is to release a list of 29 prompts that hopefully cover a lot of things and will allow creators of any medium - fics, fancams, edits, manips, web weaving, meta, etc, etc, - to create stuff during the designated time that will be announced later.

She recorded her keen observations in a research journal and published three books about her discoveries. With techniques learned from her stepfather, Merian became an accomplished artist, rendering in beautiful, extraordinary detail the intricacies of caterpillars, flies, moths, butterflies, and other insects. Travelers’ stories inspired her to take an arduous journey to the Dutch colony of Surinam to observe, document, and collect exotic species. Flouting the conventions of the time to pursue her passion for insects made Merian’s life difficult, but she never allowed adversity to interfere with her dogged pursuit of knowledge. ![]() Captivated by the mysterious lives of insects, she wanted to know where they came from. The remarkable contributions of Maria Sibylla Merian, a 17th-century self-taught artist and the first person to document the metamorphosis of the butterfly, are not as well-known as those of John James Audubon, Charles Darwin, and Carl Linnaeus, but her discoveries preceded and influenced those later naturalists.Īt a time when the most learned adhered to the Aristotelian theory of “spontaneous generation,” that insects came from “dew, dung, dead animals, or mud” and were “beasts of the Devil,” Merian was convinced otherwise. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this heartrending, lyrical debut work of fiction, Fatimah Asghar traces the intense bond of three orphaned siblings who, after their parents die, are left to raise one another. ![]() ![]() An orphan grapples with gender, siblinghood, family, and coming-of-age as a Muslim in America in this lyrical debut novel from the acclaimed author of If They Come For Us ![]() ![]() ![]() Let me say at once that the answers contained herein are imperfect and incomplete.
