Kenneth Johnson's Molten Muse crackles with the electricity of nostalgia. In each poem you find yourself in places forgotten: seeing the ocean for the first time, under the gaze of your first crush, lounging in cool grass to look up at stars or clouds while identifying shapes, the pounding of your heart as your race through the sprinkler in your front yard, bathing suit plastered to skin. You find yourself wanting things: the smell of coffee in your childhood kitchen, the taste of your mom's pancakes, that very particular sense of time standing still. I'm warning you now, this is what will happen when you open Johnson's collection, you'll become feverish, begin desiring things you'd long forgotten.-Shilo Niziolek is the author of Fever and atrophy

When young Billy and his mother encounter Mr. Simmons in the waiting room of a veterinary clinic, they uncover a disheartening misunderstanding. Mr. Simmons, an elderly man unable to read, believed he was awaiting an appointment with a doctor for humans, not a pet doctor. The medical symbol on the building had misled him.Moved by Mr. Simmons' plight, Billy is determined to help in a way that goes beyond merely directing him to the correct physician. With his mother - a compassionate school teacher - by his side, Billy sets into motion an extraordinary chain of events. The pair not only help Mr. Simmons learn to read but, buoyed by their success, go on to establish an adult education center.Beyond Caring is a heartwarming tale of empathy, community, and the transformative power of education. In its conclusion, the story casts Billy and his mother as modern-day Good Samaritans, figures who extend help beyond the immediate need, giving others the tools they need to thrive.

Discover the Magic of the Baltics Kenneth Johnson takes us on another magical journey in his third Crossed Crow Books title, Dance of the Sun Goddess: Pagan Folkways of the Baltic Coast. This is the first easily accessible book in the English language to offer an in-depth look into the Pagan folk traditions of the Baltic Coast, the last region of Europe to be converted to Christianity. We are introduced to the goddesses and gods of this magical land, as well as seasonal and family rituals that shed a surprising light on some of the most ancient concepts of Pagan Europe. Dance of the Sun Goddess is an inspiring addition to traditional Pagan and magical practices.

This beautifully written book will show seekers of the magical arts how to reclaim the old traditions of our pagan ancestors, which, as this book will show, were heavily rooted in shamanism. Kenneth Johnson takes the reader on a journey far into the past where these shamanistic practices of medieval and Renaissance European people can be explored while simultaneously teaching the working Witch how to incorporate these older traditions into their own magical practice. Included in this book are explorations of the mystical otherworld, instructions on how to discover one's Tree of Power, methods of entering the World Mountain to gain wisdom, an in-depth overview of folkloric initiatory practices, the folklore of the Wild Hunt, and much more.
