The Pin of History Masters of The Katy Lily Series

The Pin of History Masters of The Katy Lily Series

History- Book Pin

A book is a physical object, yet it also signifies something abstract, the words and the meanings living within it. At one level a book takes on the imprint of its author and its readers. Books contain the presence of many readers. Yet, more than other objects, a book is felt to embody not only a physical memory but also a record of past thoughts. The book contains both its reader and its author. Milton’s stated books ‘contain a potency of life in them’. The book achieves a further mystery, of transforming what appears to be purely immaterial and conceptual into something with a concrete form. It is therefore not entirely extravagant for Milton to claim that a book possesses ‘a life beyond life’. Destroying a book, then, Milton says, is like an act of homicide—indeed it is worse than that, since a book encloses the life of more than one person and exists in more than one time. Paradoxically, regardless of the material survival of a physical copy or artifact, a book is something immortal and imperishable. Because of this History Masters choose to use the Book, a simple but complex symbol, for their pin.

The Pin of Mythology Masters of The Katy Lily Series

The Pin of Mythology Masters of The Katy Lily Series

Mythology- Y of Pythagoras Pin

The Pythagorean "Y" shows the two paths in which man is led through life. The right hand track to sacred Virtue tends, Though steep and rough at first, in rest it ends; The other broad and smooth, but from its Crown On rocks the Traveler is tumbled down. He who to Virtue by harsh toils aspires, Subduing pains, worth and renown acquires; But who seeks slothful luxury, and flies, The labor of great acts, dishonored dies.” The above words are attributed to Virgil, but this may be incorrect. The straight portion at the bottom signifies the first, uncertain age, which at that point has been given over to neither vices nor virtues. The bifurcation at the top, however, begins at adolescence. The path to the right is difficult, but it tends toward a blessed life. The path to the left is easier, but it leads to ruin and destruction. As it is shown in Mythology the easiest path is not always the wisest. Thus Mythology Masters chose the Y to represent humanity and Mythology.

The Pin of Electrokinesis Masters of The Katy Lily Series

The Pin of Electrokinesis Masters of The Katy Lily Series

Electrokinesis- Axe pin

Electrokinesis is the main study of Spirit Elementals. The Masters of this Element choose the Axe as their Pin. The reasons behind this strange symbol for Electrokinesis stems from folklore, where stone axes were believed to be thunderbolts and were used to guard buildings against lightning as it was believed that lightning never struck the same place twice. In Youba Mythology an Oshe (double bladed axe) was used to represent Shango, Orisha who was their god of thunder and lighting. Steel axes were important in superstitions as well. A thrown axe could keep off a hail storm. Sometimes an axe was placed in the crops, with the cutting edge to the skies to protect the harvest against bad weather. Due to these beliefs and they wanted something with a deeper meaning they chose the Axe as their pin.

The Electrokinesis Masters At Bridgett's School For The Magical Arts:

Benjamin McEntire: Year 1-5
Denis Rice: Year 1-5
Lola Franklin: Year 6-7
Barb Hemann: Year 8-9

The Pin of Alchemy Masters in The Katy Lily Series

The Pin of Alchemy Masters in The Katy Lily Series

Alchemy: The Orphic Egg Pin

The Orphic Egg in the Ancient Greek Orphic tradition is the cosmic egg from which hatched the primordial hermaphroditic deity Phanes/Protogonus who in turn created the other gods. The egg is often depicted with a serpent wound about it. Alchemy masters choose this as their symbol as they tend to create something great from something common. Though Alchemy is most commonly known for the philosopher's stone, which is a legendary substance, allegedly capable of turning inexpensive metals into gold. It was sometimes believed to be an elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and possibly for achieving immortality. In the Katy Lily Series Alchemy can turn objects into Gold without the stone. The stone is to become close to immortal. However no self respecting person in the Katy Lily Series would create the stone. The Stone takes the blood of at least 150 infants and many other sacrifices to create. It is the goal of a true evil to make one of these stones.

Survival: Zombies

Random WIP: Survival: Zombies

All Rights Reserved


It all started on what my family would have called a perfect Halloween night, foggy just enough chill in the air and a fine mist. The problem... It was March 14th and what was going on was no trick or treaters. It was something far worse. It was something we never imagined. It was something we only thought was for horror movies and novels. We never imagined we would see the day the dead would walk the Earth... Or what we would have to do to survive. But maybe we should have; after all even the Bible states:

“But your dead will live; their bodies will rise
Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead
Go, my people, enter your rooms, and shut the doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while …until his wrath has passed by”

But there is no place to hide. There is no place to run. There is only Survival...

RANDOM WIP: With A Turn Of A Key

All Rights Reserved


When it happened we were all thrown off guard. We never thought the war would get that bad. Never did anyone think the war would have gotten bad enough for what happened. The keys turned. The button pushed. And I was in the thick of it all. I helped make that choice. The choice to end the world as we knew it. Einstein once said that he didn't know what World War III would be fought with; but World War IV would be fought with sticks and stones. Not too far off actually. I never thought I would make the choices I have. I never thought I would have to explain it to my children. Never thought I would live this long. After all I advised the President of the United States to sign the order. And then fought for the Senate to approve. And then I turned my key. And then I pressed that button and in minutes part of the world was forever gone. With a turn of a key we destroyed the world.

The Blessed Fallen



Random WIP Excerpt: The Blessed Fallen Book 1


All Rights Reserved


Fallen. That is what I am. I was once a perfect being. I stood on God’s side until the humans. Now I am one of the Blessed Fallen. I protect them from the shadows. I stay in the shadows. Hell I am the shadows. Hell. Funny. Why? I will get to that. Nothing stops me from interacting with these humans, but I cannot allow myself to care for them. Because there are things I cannot change. I know that my former siblings cause destruction and pain and it is my job to prevent some but I cannot prevent it all. I sighed as I help yet another child pass on as The Fallen One sent another of his minions to cause pain. My name? Well to answer that we must go back to when I fell. Back when I was the Bride of The Morning Star.
“Blessed One, it is another day of deciding the fate of the new souls?”
I scowled over at the other fate. “You know soon I shall be the wife of The Morning Star and I shall no longer have to store these human souls we do not ever use.”
“There is rumors your intended is trying to start a rebellion against our father, because of his favoritism towards these new souls.”
“I told Morning Star to do nothing foolish, that we cannot go against our father.”
“Blessed One…”
“Don’t, Morning Star would not risk the future of the Archangels.”
That scene was only a century before Morning Star started his rebellion. By then I was his wife, but I stood at God’s side after all I was an Archangel. I fought against my husband but there was no choice. Between Morning Star and my father I would choose my father. And when the millennium of fighting was over my husband failed. He became the first Fallen – Cursed Fallen. When he tempted Adam and Eve to fall as well Father created the Blessed Fallen. For my crime of being married to the Morning Star and unable to stop the Falling I became the first Blessed Fallen. We are also known as Guardian Angels and I am the Fallen Archangel Gabriel and these are the stories of the Blessed Fallen and their charges.

Contrary to many beliefs I am not a stupid person. In fact I have a very high IQ and can figure out almost any issue or problem. Then why do people believe me to be uneducated and stupid? I never graduated college. Just didn't have the money or the attention span. But I work, make good money to. In fact I am your typical middle class, maybe lower middle class, working woman. What makes me different than most though is one simple fact. That fact? I am a serial killer. Yep. Dead bodies all over. What shocked? You thought you were going to read the journal of a nice Catholic girl? Well you are, but I happen to have a dark side one that hunts down the scum of our society and kills them. It wasn't something that I sought out. But then again some are born to greatness, others achieve it and others like myself never wanted it but had it thrust upon us. How am I any different than the ones I kill? Easy. I have a heavenly presence demanding I kill them. They are true monsters the ones I kill. Soulless Demons and I hunt them down and ill them. These are my stories. My name? Agnes Francis Black also known as The Huntress. So join me in reading my last words...

War Of The Stars

There was a dark cloud that came upon the horizon. There was a large clash of what sounded like two trains hitting together and an evil laugh filled the air. Then like the ice finger of death his essence flowed through the atmosphere to Earth. As the ice from his decent froze and killed the plants and animals he took his first breath on earth. He smirked. He was back and he would gain his revenge against that brat of his that killed him to avenge his mother. Orion would gain his revenge. Damn the consequences. If only Stella - Maris hadn't betrayed him. It was a pity his young son had to see him kill his mother. But the little brat didn't have to take his Ursa Blade and kill him. No he would find Polaris and gain his revenge bounding his power and life to him as a servant. Silly boy living as a mortal when he was a Star. A God. And he was back. Orion wondered if his wife had been reborn yet? He shrugged of the icicles on his shoulder and flashed out. First to figure out Earth.
