Victorian Songlight: Birthings of Magic & Mystery
Dr. Kathy Martone
The birth of a magical child at the time of the Devil Moon sets the stage for heartache and misery, magic and supernatural love. Beset by unrelenting obstacles and bestowed with remarkable psychic gifts, Kate is often accompanied by fantastical black ravens who carry her through time and space. A well known legend in the Ozark Mountain countryside where Kate lives, Grandfather is a ghost with large golden eyes who frequently rides on the back of Pegasus, another Ozarkian legend.
Victorian Songlight is a tale of redemption and renewal, death and rebirth, triumph over darkness. But most importantly, it is a love story. Alone and utterly forsaken, adrift on treacherous waters, Kate meets Grandfather for the second time in her life and they become lovers fulfilling a prophecy at the moment of her birth.
I received a copy of this book from the author for my honest review.
Review: Victorian Songlight: Birthings of Magic & Mystery Dr. Kathy Martone
If you are interested in reading a book that encompassed some Ozark folklore you may want to check out Victorian Songlight: Birthings of Magic & Mystery
The Ozarks are among the oldest mountain ranges on the planet and Traditional Ozark legends have been passed down for generations by locals who have seen and heard things they could not describe while roaming the remote forests of the Ozarks.
In this story, you follow Kate and learn about the Victorian town called White Horse Springs, which is located right in the middle of the Ozark Mountain Range. Readers also learn of the Ghost Rock Mountain, dream groups, and the House of the Golden Eyed Master.
We strive to come to terms with the conscious and unconscious aspects of Kate's personality recognizing that the unconscious contains contents that are often found to be unpleasant and unacceptable.
We are allowed an opportunity to see her characteristics, habits, and patterns and this helps us recognize what is missing from her life.
