When the evidence becomes overwhelming, When author Rich Newman first arrives at the battered doublewide trailer deep in the Mississippi Delta, it’s clear that this is no ordinary haunting. Called from Memphis to assist a local ghost hunting team, long-buried memories from Newman’s own past come back to haunt him—memories he’d rather forget. Collecting physical evidence, researching the violent history of the property, Newman’s investigation of the Martin house has become his most terrifying and mysterious case. What starts out as a malicious assault manifesting as deep rumbling sounds quickly spirals into a story of obsession, and sorting through the spiritual implications of demons

harmony
it is very easy to use magic to bring peace and harmony
into your life and home. If you live with other people
we have to consider the ethical implications (yay) of using magic in your household. I have pondered this and come
to the conclusion that, without other’s permission, it is
still okay to use magic to surround your environment with
a peaceful aura; for the good of all, and if the other people are then influenced by this energy of peace and harmony,
that is according to their own free will, albeit subcon-
sciously. This same idea is true in everyday life; if you were to act positively and optimistically around the others and their moods improved as a result, that wouldn’t be manipulation but rather, osmosis.
Harmony and peace are gentle. They are the delicate
shifting; the “going with the flow” of events as they un-

fold instead of “fighting the good fight” or trying to be
right (even if you aren’t). Harmony is the calm center, the balance in the middle and the rejection of living from
one extreme to another. Meditation is always a wonderful
means of achieving a peaceful, balanced state of being,
but it is not always feasible to find the time to meditate in order to feel harmonious in our chaotic world. Luckily, there are numerous simple, effective magical methods to
create a more balanced and centered mental state and/or
environment.
Brews
Personally, I love brew making; it has always captured my
imagination. The idea of standing in front of a fire, stirring a bubbling cauldron filled with a magic elixir; adding unusual ingredients while chanting ancient prayers as the
mystic liquid blends together to form a powerful brew is
so romantic and alluring to me that I have made brew
making an important part of my personal Craft. Granted,
I don’t create as dramatic a scene as I have just described (usually, I just have my cauldron on the stove) but, the
process always gives me a certain sense of satisfaction as well as a useful product.
Brewing a potion for harmony is an easy and useful
method of magic that is both subtle and effective. Mak-
ing a brew to create a feeling of peace and harmony is as
easy as grabbing a chamomile tea bag. Chamomile has a
soothing effect. Sweeten with a little honey as this too,
Harmony 81
brings about a feeling of peace. You can actually make
this potion in your coffee pot by adding the tea bags to
the pot and letting them steep in the hot water as it drips into the pot.
Peace and Harmony Brew
• 1 tablespoon chamomile
(or 2 chamomile tea bags)
• 3 cups water
• 1 tablespoon honey
You can use the coffee pot method or heat the water
in a pot to almost boiling, then remove from heat and
allow the tea bags to steep in the water for ten to fif-
teen minutes. Then, pour a cupful and sweeten with the
spoonful of honey. Charge the liquid with the intent of
peace and relaxation and take slow sips of the potion. If
you intend to use this brew in a non-beverage manner,
omit the honey.
