Such tales are also embedded in the far ancestral past, in ancient Egyptian tales transcribed by W. M. Flinders Petrie in 1899. For the storyteller, Genie Poretzky-Lee, this knowledge underpins awareness of an ancient literary genre, validating a tradition of short poetic stories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe INCANTATION publications facilitate an exploration of this unusual form of writing, in a renewed and inspired way, alongside Genie's photographic illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume 1: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCalling Forth the Unexpected\u003c\/em\u003e is inspired by Rudyard Kipling's \u003cem\u003eThe Crab that Played with the Sea\u003c\/em\u003e, part of a volume of children's stories titled \u003cem\u003eJust So Stories\u003c\/em\u003e, published in 1902.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eListening to a reading on BBC radio 4. Genie became intensely absorbed by the tale; the rhythmic cadence of the words were an INCANTATION manifesting the presence of magic and this experience absorbed her totally.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHer inner child, never far away, woke up to the power of those words, facilitating her writing; a recollection of forgotten rituals practiced by our ancestors to honour and tame the natural world around them when 'incanting' magical powers of witches and wizards. The words are dedicated to Pan, a personal mythical hero - protector of raw and unspoiled nature - sounding his pipes to accompany this story - barely a story, almost a song - invoking a bewitching transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Genie Poretzky-Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lotus Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780955995194\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lotus Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40270648475763,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a981813b-5767-4d38-8fed-04184e030815.jpg?v=1657807540","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/incantation-volume-1-calling-forth-the-unexpected-to-pan-the-four-directions-and-others-9780955995194","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
