Coven

Foreword A Coven of Purpose and Integrity I believe the “right” books come into our lives at the right time. Whatever you are reading, feel its energy and see how it corresponds to your own life. So it happened, and I am not in the least surprised now though it did take me by surprise at the time of happening, that Diane’s book came to me just a week before I myself had to deal with unwanted energies and loose ends in my own life. And yes, it was something way more than a box with photos from the times long gone. Reading the book, I was reminded of the value of grounding and psychic protection; more than just reminded, I was taught how to do so, and taught in the very relaxing and conversational manner which is lacking, often, from the “ritual” of teaching. I learned basic principles of Magic: the energy you give out returns to you three times multiplied; the wisdom and answers are inside our own souls and we just need to get access to them and magic can help us clear that pathway along with the prayer; food and lifestyle alters our vibrations and much more. Through the journeys and struggles through time, space, emotions, and energies of the four girlfriends who also are sisters in Spirit and Keepers of the Scrolls of the Four Winds, I was reminded of basic and simple truths that each of them was exposed to and shared with the rest of the world at the end of the book. For example, Alexis, through the Gateway of the Element of Water, received a message which contained the following part that I found to be very true for myself: “Emotional reactions reflect issues that must be addressed within the self. Maintain power by controlling your own reactions. The actions of others cannot be controlled, but your reaction can be. You are responsible for your feelings. Being overly sensitive creates limitations. Approach life from a centered position and see the world with a more objective eye.” Love, gratitude, friendship, discernment, sincerity, and bonds of physical dimension on the callings of our eternal Soul. You will find it all in Coven, a book written with simplicity that draws your full attention to the luxury of the message, contained in between its pages. By now you must be wondering if this book helped me to resolve that issue in my life I mentioned in the beginning... while this novel did not teach me the fine details, it did help me to learn that there is nothing to be afraid of if you know the rules, follow them, and approach life and all around you with love and gratitude for the lessons received. Diane Wing took the scary part of magic out and showed that there is nothing impossible for those with integrity, discernment, and a couple of other “right” tools, all guided by the loving soul, always in the search for ways to learn and grow. …indeed, I might as well read a couple of other books about Magic :) Victoria Evangelina Belyavskaya, columnist for Georgia Today
