LOCA L AUT HO RS: Writers tell us what makes their book worth reading

ELINOR FLORENCE

Bird’s Eye View I grew up surrounded by air force ghosts. My family farm near North Battleford was a former airfield for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, and my childhood home was a converted barracks building. Not only was my father an RCAF veteran, but my mother had many stories about the lonely young airmen who trained here during the war, at Saskatoon, Regina, and dozens of smaller prairie communities. I carried their tales with me as I pursued my journalism career – first as a farm reporter for the Western Producer in Saskatoon, then the Red Deer Advocate, Winnipeg Sun, Vancouver Province and finally, Reader’s Digest.

The spark that ignited my novel was an old newspaper clipping that showed a woman in uniform, studying an aerial photograph. I was instantly intrigued, and set about researching the little-known art of aerial photoElinor Florence graphic interpretation. I learned that hundreds of photo interpreters, half of whom were women, worked at a converted mansion in England, spying on the enemy from the sky. Using a viewing device called a stereoscope, they

assessed bomb damage, followed troop movements, and searched out camouflaged munitions factories. In fact, it was a woman who discovered, on an aerial photograph, the first jetpropelled weapon of mass destruction in history. So I wrote a fact-based novel about Rose Jolliffe, a farm girl from Saskatchewan who is fired with patriotism when her fictional town of Touchwood becomes an air training base. She joins the air force, goes overseas and becomes a photo interpreter. Like so many others, Rose keeps in touch with the home front through frequent letters from her mother. She experiences both joy and heartache during her long years away from home, while watching

Discovering the dark and light secrets of magic

University of Saskatchewan history professor and medieval magic expert Frank Klaassen’s bookshelf is filled with eclectic reads on everything from demons to superstition. BRIDGES PHOTO BY MICHELLE BERG

By Jenn Sharp You know you have a cool job when your title is president, Societas Magica (an organization for scholars who study magic). Frank Klaassen sits comfortably in his office, legs crossed, a wall of books behind him. A microfilm

reader sits in one corner where he examines ancient texts. His library includes titles like Thinking with Demons, Persuasions of the Witch’s Craft and Conjuring Spirits. A professor of history at the University of Saskatchewan, he’s a specialist in the late medieval Renaissance, studying forgotten texts

written hundreds of years ago — and making intriguing discoveries. In 2013, he received a grant worth $53,000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada to research a book that will focus on magic from the late Middle Ages to the late 1600s. It’s based on a frightening text

from the 17th century he found years ago in the British Museum in London. “This is a really scary text,” says Klaassen with a grimace of disgust. “I read this and thought, ‘Good God. Where did this come from? This is really creepy.’ It was really unusual to find those things.”

The text contains specific instructions on how to align with the devil and summon the departed from the grave. “This text is just sociopathic. It’s conjuring human ghosts. You go to a grave and you dig up a body and you rip out the heart, and preferably you get a child.”

There’s really no evidence at all that the Enlightenment and modernization have brought about any decline in magic. (There’s the conception) that we’ve shed the superstition. No, that’s not exactly what happened. — Klaassen

MAGIC FOR THE MODERN ERA

Most people don’t think of themselves as superstitious, but Klaassen points out a number of tendencies that suggest otherwise. Practices like homeopathy, aromatherapy, crystallography, reflexology, iridology and modern psychotherapy don’t have a scientific experimental foundation. “That’s not to say it’s not true or that it doesn’t work. We have all these conceptions that have no empirical basis that we buy into without even thinking about it,” says Klaassen. That’s not to mention the active Pagan and Wiccan communities in Saskatchewan, horoscopes in newspapers and occult sections in bookstores. “There’s really no evidence at all that the Enlightenment and modernization have brought about any decline in magic. (There’s the conception) that we’ve shed the superstition. No, that’s not exactly what happened.” The Enlightenment also saw the birth of Paganism, which Klaassen calls, “the West’s most significant magic movement.” In this province, that movement is called the Congressionalist and Wiccan Assembly of Saskatchewan (CWAS). The Sage Wind Temple is in Regina and the Sky River Temple is in Saskatoon. Paganism opposes Christianity, talking about the failures of the institutional Christian church towards women and environmentalism, and encouraging a positive understanding of these same things within Paganism. Erin Wood, a clergy member with the Sage Wind Temple, says there wasn’t a formal organization or public face for Wiccans in the province. She got involved in Wicca in 1999. “When I found Wicca, it was very similar to what I already believed. It wasn’t a conversion experience. A lot of people who find Wicca describe the experience as a sense of coming home.” She likes Wicca’s emphasis on nature, mythology and celebrating the changing of the seasons. There’s also room for different belief systems. Continued on Page 6

In modern magic, practitioners use folk methods like herbs, energy healing or shamanism to bring about positive change. Some work with spirits or elements of nature. Not all Wiccans are witches (and not all witches are Wiccans). But Wood is. “Magic (to me) is a re-enchantment of the world — finding the magic in everyday things and seeing the world as being alive, even things we consider to be inanimate, as things that we can have a relationship with,” she says. Wood’s personal practice looks a lot like meditation. “Some people are into spells and brews and potions. What I do looks much more boring. I do a lot of journeying and working with spirits.” She goes to a quiet place outside to commune with the environment and the spirits. “One of the purposes of doing magic is to

create change. I focus on creating internal change. ‘How do I make myself a better person? How do I achieve my personal goals more successfully?’ ” She also does work in groups, raising healing energy through chanting or dancing — powerful energy. “(It) often feels like a warm, tingly sensation. I’ve seen flecks of light dancing in the air as the energy is generated. Group energy is different than on your own. I think it’s interesting for people to experience both.” In Saskatoon, Ave Riddler-Tilton is part of the clergy for the Sky River Temple. “(Wicca is) really about reconnecting with the seasons and the Earth, and the cycles of life and death and rebirth. The birth of the (Sky River) temple ritual was in July and we danced and sang. It’s not solemn and sombre,” she says.

I would never tell anyone ‘here’s a crystal, now you don’t have to go on Western medicine.’ I use it to support. Sometimes it’s just the comfort of it. Positive thought and affirmations can have unbelievable power. — Ave Riddler-Tilton

Like Wood, Riddler-Tilton considers herself a witch. She uses crystals to work with the body’s chakra system. Her healing rituals help with different ailments and conditions, using specific crystals for each. People come to her for help, and for hand fastings (an ancient marriage ceremony). “Some help with heart conditions, some with cancer. I would never tell anyone ‘here’s a crystal, now you don’t have to go on Western medi-

cine.’ I use it to support. Sometimes it’s just the comfort of it. Positive thought and affirmations can have unbelievable power.” Riddler-Tilton says it’s rare that Wiccans stray from the teachings and try to manipulate the will of others. Wicca is rooted in karma — whatever you do will be visited back upon you three-fold. “A lot of the truth behind my faith is that I cause no harm, which includes for myself,” she says.

THE HISTORY OF DIABOLIC MAGIC One of Klaassen’s interests is the rise of black magic, how negative ideas began to be celebrated in magic texts. “They’re (at least) profoundly anti-social, if not actually aligning (themselves) briefly with the devil,” he says. Germanic texts about how to make a pact with the devil can also be found during this time period. Some describe how to get out of the pact.

It’s atypical of medieval magic. A popular form of medieval magic is from a text called the Notory Art. The text, which circulated at universities, described a ritual that would have taken about two years to complete. “It was to gain complete knowledge of the arts and sciences, which would be infused in you by angelic intermediaries,” explains Klaassen. The knowledge was to be obtained through contemplative exercises, prayer, ritual, meditation and devo-

tion. There are 50 surviving manuscripts of the pre-1500 text, which is a large amount for any text from that period. “So there were a lot of people practising it and a lot of people interested in it.” Klaassen says Thomas Aquinas referred to the text, saying that if it worked, it was the work of demons. It’s also documented that people had great success with the text. Continued on Page 8

Magic (to me) is a re-enchantment of the world — finding the magic in everyday things and seeing the world as being alive, even things we consider to be inanimate, as things that we can have a relationship with. — Wood

“The exercises they were engaging in probably did develop various aspects of mental acuity. There are studies that say regular meditation (more than an hour a week) will increase your grades at school. “I do not think that angels infused anybody with knowledge,” he adds. This is the type of magic that Klaassen has studied, written about and taught throughout his career. Now, he’s in the middle of a three-year grant, and looking at how and why a shift toward the dark side happened. “This is about not only where does modern magic come from, but also trying to understand modernity, how we understand ourselves and how that came about.” MAGIC UNDERGROUND

Imagine you’re living in 1560

England and you pick up a magic text. Typically, it will be medieval, stemming from a Catholic world — and therefore illicit in Protestant England. “Protestants would have rejected it as superstitious hoo-haw, and did (so) very vocally,” Klaassen says. If you’re serious about magic, you have two options. You can preserve some of the Catholic parts such as celibacy, mass and fasting or reject the Catholic rituals, which means you’re not left with a lot. “If you preserve the Catholic rituals, it’s by definition anti-social. If you change it, you’re not really creating something which has the same connection to the church that it used to. In both cases, magic pulled away from justifying itself to the religious status quo.” It’s at that time magic changed. It became something that separated practitioners, in a rebellious way

for the period. Another dramatic example of magic’s change is modern sex magic, what Klaassen calls, “crazy stuff.” In medieval magic, sex was forbidden: “Sex is something that actually screws up your magic power.” In the 19th century, there was a fundamental transformation. “People are saying when you’re having sex, that’s the most powerful magical moment in human experience. That’s the time when you can actually transform the world around you — the moment of orgasm — because you’ve got all this incredible spiritual energy with you. If you can direct that energy someplace, you can make something happen in the world.” Thanks to magic’s portrayal in popular culture today, it’s still associated with the diabolical.

People are afraid to tell people about their religion and use words like ‘witch’ or ‘Wiccan’ because they’re afraid there’ll be some backlash against them. — Wood

A dramatic example is the 20th century Satanic images connected with heavy metal music. Holding up the index finger and pinky is a Satanic gesture. It was popularized by the band Black Sabbath which created a mystique around rebellious black masses and Satanism. During the witchcraft trials in 16th century England, no one was actually practising black magic. “That just did not happen. There were no devils, there were no covert covens running around in the hills of Europe. They were just peasant people getting caught up in accusing each other of witchcraft,” says Klaassen. “The notion of killing babies and making salves with their fat and of selling your soul to the devil — these are all part of that mythology which the Christian church attached to bad magic.” Then, with England’s new religion, and changes in the magic literature, scattered accounts of diabolical magic surfaced. “So these magic practitioners, for the first time, really, take it and go ‘ya! That’s what we’re like! We’re actually bad-ass like that.’ It’s almost like the Ozzy Osbourne thing. This is where it begins, in the 16th century.” STILL UNDER COVER Misconceptions and stereotypes abound about modern Pagans and Wiccans. “There are people that come to our festival that still tell family and friends that they’re going camping for the weekend because there’s that misunderstanding and ignorance about what being Pagan really is,” Riddler-Tilton says of the Toon Town Pagan Summer Festival at Ancient Spirals Retreat near Saskatoon. She’s often asked if she can do love spells. (She won’t because it’s manipulating free will). She hesitates to explain another, less favourable impression. “(It’s that) I can do things to make people suffer. It’s back from the burning times — the belief that if your cows were sick, it was because of the witch. We (supposedly) ate our first-born male babies,” she says with a laugh. “We also removed male appendages off of lovers that wronged us.” Wood agrees, saying people often associate witches with demonic or dark purposes. If it comes up in conversation, she’ll share that she’s a witch but she doesn’t make a point of it. She says other Pagans and witches are concerned about prejudices and stereotypes. “People are afraid to tell people about their religion and use words like ‘witch’ or ‘Wiccan’ because they’re afraid there’ll be

some backlash against them.” MAGIC GOLD? One of Klaassen’s findings is that people used spells to conjure demons who would then presumably help with treasure hunts. “We’ve seen the huge hoards of Anglo Saxon gold dug up in England — kilos of gold. . . Doing this with the aid of spirits was one of the methods.” People with one of these texts would use it to convince a financier they had a special way to find the gold. But what about that disturbing 17th century text in the British Museum? Did people really cast the spells in it? “God, I hope not,” Klaassen says. “That one’s really gross.” jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

ASK ELLIE

It’s bad to adopt pop ideas about social behaviour Q. I like a boy who’s two years younger than me. I’m 14. We’re into the same music and activities. He likes me too. He wants to hang out with me more. We don’t go to the same school, and hanging out another time could lead to other people seeing us. People are very judgmental about “cougars.” If people see us, I’m screwed. Age Gap A. There’s a reality gap here, more than an age problem. You’re not a “cougar”… you’re a very young teen who’s adopted pop ideas about social behaviour, without the maturity or experience to handle them. If you and this boy want to just hang together, do so at your place or his, with parents around. Let your friends meet him as your pal. Do NOT think that keeping this friendship secret is healthy, or that you’re at the centre of a gossip drama. Do NOT think you’re ready for a relationship that involves sexual activity.

Ask Ellie

Q. I’m in my 50s. My husband had a relationship with another woman four years ago. We fought daily for two years. I wanted to end my life. We don’t fight anymore because I gave up. I tried to get a separation agreement but he doesn’t want it. We have three children, the youngest is ten. I’m most concerned about her. She doesn’t want us to separate. I met a guy through Facebook. He came to Canada to see me in person and he’s a respected man. I have feelings for him. Please tell me what to do. Stuck in Bad Place A. Moving forward with a new man about whom you still know little, and

without a legal separation, opens up all kinds of negative possibilities. These include the guy turning out to be less than what you think, your husband’s anger and possible decision to withhold support funds, and your daughter rebelling against too much change with too little focus on her needs. Get legal advice. If you and your husband can’t get to counselling together (you should try), take the proper steps to separate legally and work out the finances. If all you want is to be “rescued” by this new man, you’re doing nothing for your own independence and inner strength to handle a next relationship. Take time with getting to know this person and make sure your “feelings” come from real trust. You need to be certain that he’s not attached to someone else back home, nor just looking to be sponsored to move to Canada.

Q. Which online dating website is

best for a woman, 51, looking for a serious long-term relationship with a man in Toronto? Need Direction A. Check out which websites have been in operation for several years, have a solid list of participants, an affordable fee, and rules you find acceptable. (Some are free, which usually means there’ll be a bigger list but more likelihood of fun-seekers and scammers.) Then sharpen your skills for assessing others’ profiles. Be honest in your own – use your own recent, best photo, and state that you want a serious relationship with someone living in your city. Don’t waver on this major goal, no matter how much someone tries to convince you to just have fun, or date long-distance. It’ll disappoint you because it’s not what you want. I cannot promote a particular website. There are good people on most of them, and scammers too. Be cautious.

Q. My parents divorced when I was three, my father has lived in another city since, but was always in my life. I love him and don’t want to hurt him. I’d like my mother and my halfsister (different fathers) to walk me down the aisle at my coming wedding. They’re my family. My parents don’t get along AT ALL, and I don’t want to be focusing on their tension. Should I have both parents walk with me to avoid hurting my dad’s feelings? Or is there another important role he could play? Bride’s Choice A. In such sensitive situations, the best solutions work through compromises. Your father could walk first, then step aside, your mother next with you and your half-sister, till you join your groom. Or, have each parent walk in turn, then your sister as Maid of Honour and you, as Bride, walking independently to join your life partner.

SCYAP staff show spooky sides By Sean Trembath WHERE? Saskatoon Community Youth Arts Programming (SCYAP) Gallery, 253 3rd Avenue South WHO? Tammy Krueckl, SCYAP’s projects manager, and the rest of the gallery’s staff. WHEN? Now until Nov. 4. WHAT? SCYAP’s Spoooooky Staff Art Show is giving the gallery’s staff, who usually spend their time teaching youth, a chance to show off their own talents. Seven artists are displaying Halloween-themed pieces in a variety of forms. “I think the whole Halloween thing is kind of crazy now. People really get into it,” Krueckl says. There are photographs with spectral figures created by using multiple exposures. A graffiti-inspired piece features blood dripping upward. A large painting shows a sinister woman working on a small, scary doll, surrounded by bits of what might be viscera. Krueckl herself has a series of three-dimensional pieces that have scary figures — a creepy clown, a ghost-faced killer, and more — coming out of picture frames toward the viewer. “We get a lot of donated frames here, so I thought, ‘What if I can make things that are coming out, so the frames look like windows?’ ” She knew she was on the right track when her daughter was freakedout by the not-yet done pieces as they were lying around her house. WHY? SCYAP is a non-profit, open since 2001, dedicated to providing artistic opportunities. “We really want to make art accessible to everyone. We’ve focused, but not exclusively, on young people who might not have the opportunity to have arts training, or a place to come and do art, or the ability to access the kind of materials we have,” Normally the staff are just teachers, but once in a while they get to show their own stuff. “We haven’t had a staff show in two years, so we thought it was appropriate,” Krueckl says. The specific inspiration for a Halloween show came about 16 months ago, when one of the classes was working to make paper mache monsters. Knowing the space needs to be booked over a year in advance, Krueckl and a co-worker came up with the Halloween idea. “We just thought it would be a really good time to have pieces that would reflect the season.” Since the works have gone up, they’ve brought their classes in to check it out. “A lot of them that are making their own Halloween masks are really inspired by the stuff we have up.” strembath@thestarphoenix.com twitter.com/strembath

Chemical-free alternatives to Halloween candy By Jenn Sharp

NATURAL HALLOWEEN CANDY ALTERNATIVES

Halloween is every kid’s favourite time of the year and what’s not to like? There’s oodles of candy after a sweet trick-or-treating haul that can last for weeks! What parents may not realize though, is that Halloween can be the kick-off for several months of unhealthy eating. Dr. Keith Kantor, an American physician, natural food and healthy living advocate, outlines a few basic rules he thinks are important for parents to know about Halloween:

1. Halloween is the start of the weight gain season. The average person gains two to four kilograms between Halloween and New Year’s Eve. Most of us don’t lose all of that weight the next year, a phenomenon called weight creep — the same goes for children. 2. To help kids, make sure they’re properly nourished and lead a healthy lifestyle. If they do that, they’ll have less cravings for candy at Halloween. 3. Make sure kids get six servings of fruits and vegetables per day (one third of an apple is one serving), 25 grams of fibre, half their body weight in grams of protein and half their body weight in ounces of water. 4. A fun way to ensure kids are drinking enough water is to have them squeeze a lemon, lime or other fruit in a pitcher of water and let it sit overnight. Fill their thermos or water bottle in the morning to take to school. Thirst can often be confused with hunger. “If they’re properly nourished and properly hydrated it’ll make it easier during Halloween. Then, they’ll just (want) candy because it’s fun instead of their body craving the sugar,” says Dr. Kantor. 5. Take the time to educate your children and explain why an apple is healthier than a cupcake. Lead by example. “You can’t be a hypocrite. You can’t tell your children to do one thing while you’re scarfing down a (chocolate) bar.” Dr. Kantor’s book, The Greenbox League of Nutritious Justice, teaches kids through animated characters, like “Sugar Shock” and “Salt Snake” about which foods are healthy and which ones they should avoid. The book includes recipes, colouring pages and comics. There’s also a free app called Greenbox Heroes; to find out more or to take Dr. Kantor’s free health assessment, go to: www.drkeithkantor.com. jksharp@thestarphoenix.com Twitter.com/JennKSharp

Commercial Halloween candy can be problematic for kids. Most candy and chocolate contain dye, preservatives, corn syrup, artificial colours and flavours. The following treats, which can be found at most health food stores, are healthier alternatives. Don’t mistake these candies for health food though – all still contain sugar and should be consumed as a treat for a special occasion, like Halloween. It’s no secret that organic candy and fair-trade chocolate is more expensive. If you’re balking at the price for trick-or-treaters, consider giving out a smaller quantity, but higher quality candy.

Gross out your friends: Zombie Brain cocktail By James Romanow Halloween has it all. The chance to dress up, the chance to create odd foods, invite over friends and impress them with your decorating and design skills. Igor! Release Martha Stewart! An easy way to impress guests is to serve them a cocktail like the Zombie Brain on arrival. It sets the mood. It’s deliciously gross, and best of all from a host’s point of view, is so easy to make you can prepare 30 in about 15 minutes. You can also just make one to greet your partner with when he or she comes through the door without spending a lot of money on extras you’ll never use again. You need a cream liqueur — I used Panama Jack’s as I was seeking a lime-friendly flavour set — a bottle of grenadine (I got mine at Co-op; most grocery chains carry it), Sambuca and a lime or two. As you can see, you likely have all four in the cupboard already. Pour the Sambuca into a glass, preferably a shot glass, but any small glass will work. (If it’s for a party use a disposable one.) Squeeze a few drops of lime into the Sambuca. You can stir it in or not. Then add about a teaspoon of cream liqueur. A bartender would pour it slowly over the back of a spoon. I use an eyedropper. The lime juice clots the liqueur giving that gross brain-like texture. Texture aside, the drink
