"I was only an apprentice. I swear it. By all the angels in Heaven." Condemned to death by the Holy Office for sorcery, fifteen-year-old Michael de Lorraine is rescued from the flames by Abbot Francis and granted refuge at Sainte Felice, a Benedictine monastery in fifteenth-century France. Michael learns that this strange and wonderful place, famous for its healing wine, harbors renegade monk-sorcerers, enchanted gargoyles, and a closely guarded secret that could spell violent death for the Abbot. As the church intensifies its cruel pursuit of Michael, Abbot Francis and the wizard monks find themselves in grave danger. Michael will do anything to protect his mentor, but are his own magical powers great enough to save the monastery from the merciless, bloodthirsty Inquisition?

From its earliest days to the present, Ann and Dave Finnin have been at the center of the Pagan community in Southern California. Here is the story of the groups and covens that came and went, and those that grew into thriving Traditions. In particular, this is the story of the Roebuck, how it came to be, and the influences that led to its creation. Ann writes about all the 'Big Names' in the Craft from Los Angeles and beyond from personal experience - she was there, working with and interacting with the people and the groups that are legendary in Craft circles. With foreword by Ed Fitch.

In the summer of 1982, two idealistic and naïve California witches embarked on a quest to find the source of a tradition that had come down to them seven years earlier fragmented and distorted from a teacher who had himself received it in like manner. An opportunity presented itself to travel to England to explore the roots of the tradition and they found that the roots did indeed grow deep in the soil that contained within it some very tainted elements. In Journey to the Castle, Ann Finnin recounts the story of this journey, with all of its good, bad and ugly elements, whitewashing no one, least of all herself. What the reader comes away with is a frank commentary on the nature of religious and spiritual movements with all of their enlightenment and pitfalls and how human nature can distort even the most lofty of teachings into a means of control and exploitation. This book is one couple's journey into the underworld. The author sincerely hopes that her and her husband's experiences will serve to provide a warning to some and a solace to others who have engaged on a similar journey with less than desirable results and finally what the future holds for those with the courage and the honesty to embark on such a journey.
