R. Roderick RoweThe Apocrypha of the Knight Shamans follows the lives and growth of three main characters: Justin Earl Knight, Founder of the Elk Creek Tribe; Rodney Knight, the First Knight Shaman; and Peter Williams; the Second Knight Shaman. Writing the work though, I used a "side" character as a part of making an important point: Raphael. Raphael became so much more than just a minor support character! He got in my soul a bit and grew to something larger. He's in a couple chapters in The Third Knight Shaman then he has a piece in The First Book of Sophia.
Check out the video I put together to introduce him and see what you think! If it catches your eye, here's a link to the book.
Just so you know, I do NOT use A.I. in my writing. Neither do I use it for my covers. I DO use A.I. for my promotions though.

NeilTo start the new year fresh we've smudged our house before the old year ends. This time we've used frankincense.
Gets all the stale energies out of the nooks, crannies and corners, creates space for fresh and clean energies and it's a kind of greeting and thank you to each corner of our house.
Our youngest is now doing her bit with white sage 😀
A Happy New Year to you all! May your days, steps, thoughts and feelings be blessed!

Xamanismo Coletivo"The global expansion of #ayahuasca is unravelling academic ideas about the brew’s universal effects.
What initially surprised me was how certain ideas I had encountered in Amazonian #shamanism – particularly the notion of shapeshifting – found a surprising resonance in Chinese thought.
Perhaps the takeaway is that ayahuasca visions reveal that our relational horizons of mind, body, #society – even species – are more expansive than we imagine. By navigating this vastness, we can encounter the therapeutic and practical insights that wonder itself inspires."

VIKINGS vs SAMURAIEliade’s Shamanism is the real deal: dense, wild, and absolutely cosmic. Shamans riding drums to the underworld, animal spirits as alter egos, death-resurrection rites. It’s anthropology on psychedelic overdrive. Soul mechanic stuff.

sale of the First Knight Shaman! This is the first book in the Founder's Age of the World of Paradigm Lost by R. Roderick Rowe.
With the upcoming release of the final novel in the installment, you will want to get in on the ground floor of this new EPIC experience!
What's being said about the upcoming novel,
The Third Book of the Knight Shamans?
"This story would most likely appeal to an adult 30+ audience with some college level education, who appreciate literary and speculative fiction. The ideal reader enjoys complex, character-driven narratives with deep philosophical and social focus. The significant LGBTQ+ representation and themes of religious trauma and spiritual exploration would make it particularly resonant with LGBTQ+ readers and those who support them.
It is for a reader who enjoys Frank Herbert's Dune and the moral ambiguity of Octavia Butler's work, rather than the typical post-apocalyptic survival thriller.
Similar books:
1. Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler.
2. The Stand by Stephen King.
3. The Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller Jr.
