Here on the hill, where the valley people often came to watch the glittering night unfold, you could see the whole magic sweep around you, and you felt close to everything in the heavens.
The Forgotten Door
Alexander Key
He had the vision of an owl in the besotted darkness of his mind. Having paused outside the door, he was already twisting the cap off his silver flask of bourbon. Jackson had concluded that Wilkes didn’t crave whiskey for its own sake; he drank it austerely, in measured swallows. Neither was the lawyer courting oblivion, like many other heavy drinkers. There seemed to be a massive fear behind his grip on the bottle. In the dark which he created for himself he found courage, and relief from demons.
All Heads Turn When the Hunt Goes By
John Farris
In the Gospel of Philip not only is it said that Jesus loves Mary Magdalene more than the other disciples; Mary is also called the companion, partner, or consort of Jesus, and the text states that Jesus kissed Mary frequently. In the light of such statements, it seems entirely appropriate to call Mary Magdalene a beloved disciple. That title is most familiar from the Gospel of John, where the beloved disciple is an important if vague figure in the Johannine story line.
