But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead.

Nuns are hot this season: cinema provocateur Paul Verhoeven’s soon-to-be released Benedetta tells the-true!-story of a lesbian nun in early 17th-century Italy, a sister who experienced wild religious visions but who also used her status as a mystic to coerce a fellow nun into sexual relations. 7, and Claire Luchette’s Agatha of Little Neon, which arrived in August, peek behind the veil to surmise what nuns might be thinking about when no one but God is listening in-and provide a glimpse into the doubts and changes of heart that sometimes turn these brides of Christ into divorcees. What draws a woman to this type of sisterhood? And are their friendships and rivalries so different from our own? Two new novels, Lauren Groff’s Matrix, coming Sept. The sisters were often fun and always kind. Indeed, scholars have argued that philosophy most infl uenced medieval society through popular forms of transmission. Yet philosophy was indeed taught to non-philosophers and via a variety of literary genres. Medieval philosophers usually wrote their philosophical books for philosophers, so the desire to convey psychological, cosmological, metaphysical, or even physical teachings to the ‘vulgus’ may seem surprising. This volume explores attempts at the popularization of philosophy and natural science in medieval Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Religion happens to be the book's main focus - Morgan Le Fay, who becomes the Lady of the Lake, is locked into combat with her younger brother over his struggle to blot out the pagan religions and make Christianity the universal religion of the Isle. With this particular version, Bradley takes a great number of liberties: besides altering various aspects of the story and its traditional characters somewhat, she at times rather inaccurately portrays differing elements of the religions she delves into with such detail. Morgan (or, as Bradley writes it, Morgaine) became, in Malory's words, a "great mistress of magic." The women of this age-old legend each take a turn at telling the tale, but The Mists of Avalon is mainly Morgan Le Fay's story, the older half-sister of Arthur (who became king of the Britons - we hear your host, Sir Robin, knows something of King Arthur!) and mother of the King's only son. OK, how's this for an idea: retell the story of King Arthur at Camelot yet again, only this time, do it from the perspective of the women. The Mists of Avalon The Mists of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley These clans are affianced by Starclan (spirits of clans) After the death in pursuance of their deed, while they are alive, Starclan decides to reside with the cats in a paradisiacal forest and dark forest. Clans adapted themselves according to their domain, and they have conflicts, but they are also concerned for each other. There are many characters, so the wild cats are introduced as Clans such as Thunderclan, Windclan, Riverclan, Shadowclan, Skyclan. Because of the destruction by the humans, they left that place and separated into five groups. This series’ story is about feral cats who initially lived together in a forest around a lake. The idea to write this series comes from Hunters, who reflect the world’s iniquity and show the love for cats and deference for nature in all its form. Locations for this series are made in a mythical manner, and initially, White Harts Wood was chosen, but after several times, its location is shifted to Sanctuary Lake.
