AN INTERPRETATION OF THE ARTWORKS In St. Francis of Assisi Church - Fitchburg, MA, was originally written by my father to be used as an instructional aid during his religious education classes. The need to enjoy and understand the artwork in a church was best explained by Pope John Paul II: Letter to Artists on the Place and Significance of Art Pope John Paul II - April 4, 1999 "...In the history of human culture, all of this is a rich chapter of faith and beauty. Believers above all have gained from it in their experience of prayer and Christian living. Indeed, for many of them, in times when few could read or write, representations of the Bible were a concrete mode of catechesis. But for everyone, believers or not, the works of art inspired by Scripture remain a reflection of the unfathomable mystery which engulfs and inhabits the world..."

�� In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: ��Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep�s. clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves��. (They�re always looking out for themselves at the expense of everyone around them). As much as we want to believe that everyone has the best intentions, it isn�t always the case. Some people only do things to benefit themselves, and they don�t care who they hurt in the process. White Witches can be found in almost every setting. You can�t get rid of them, but if you can spot them, you can avoid falling into their traps �

...Differing weights are an abomination to the LORD, and a false scale is not good..." (Proverbs 20:23) When a witch is removed from one part of this world, there is a "void of evil" created, that must be filled by another. Cadence Shadowsoul had been removed a year ago... There were others who wanted her "space". An ancient witch was called from afar to claim the lost realm. The Owl is considered to be the Night Eagle because it is silent and deadly in flight, and is a solitary bird with all-seeing eyes. The Owl is generally regarded as a bird of sorcerers because of its association with - and abilities in-the dark. In most Native American tribes, owls are a symbol of death. Sometimes owls are said to carry messages from beyond the grave or deliver supernatural warnings. So it is with the Owl Woman...

Cadence Shadowsoul, onetime resident of the House on South Street. Her human death left her soul unable to pass through the veil. Her spirit desired to control a Portal to the netherworld and she almost succeeded. Mere mortals fell before her wickedness. The evil she fostered as an entity resulted in the last of the witch-hunter's losing a battle to her. The desire to become incarnate through her cambion proved to be her spiritual downfall - Cadence Shadowsoul was consumed in a cauldron of fire in the very house she once had ruled from. Yet, the curious mind of an ancient Greek Goddess, might allow the wandering witch's malevolent spirit to find the path home.

Continuing the journey to close the Portal opened by the evil Witch Cadence Shadowsoul. A clean start: fresh faces, new teams - new challenges, but the "smoldering embers of evil" remain. The Roman Soldier, Petronius Arbiter said it best in AD 65: "We trained very hard - but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we were reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing, and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while actually producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization..." Except for the lasting influence of the portal - once closed, never closed. "...Evil doesn't die. It never dies. It just takes on a new face, a new name. Just because we've been touched by it once, it doesn't mean we're immune to ever being hurt again. Lightning can strike twice..." Tess Gerritsen

From a newspaper article, circa 1900: ..".Many people regard the Claireborne Insane Asylum as their favorite building in Claireborne; it has soul, tranquility, and a brooding atmosphere, despite its grim early history. Reported causes for admission to the facility: disappointment, jealousy, menstrual irregularity, nostalgia, and religious excitement, brooding over sin, cigarette smoking, no desire to marry, fear of child-birth, fear of pregnancy, fright, hard-work, and nose bleed. The brooding 'water towers and chimneys' of that asylum warn against 'powers of resistance to our assault..."" Mix in some demonic possession, missing person, and you have a fine stew...

Got a "tummy-ache?" Feeling a bit "under the weather?" I'll trade you one of my "conditions" for your lone ailment. I've watched the television commercials and learned how "devastating" a "Touch of Diabetes" can be to a family. I can certainly relate to that - after 33,603 personal insulin injections. I can (also) empathize with ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease - got that), CHF (Congestive Heart Failure - almost killed me this year); Carotid Artery Blockage (Moderate on one side); Aortic Stenosis - that one runs in the family; Colon - you name it, I got it - problems; and don't forget the lung diseases, I particularly enjoy gasping for breath. (This is just a summation.) Yet, here I am, banging out a book detailing the (physical) answers to "What's wrong with you?"

My Third Rendition of the "...way of the world." Definitely a "fun" book! There are no redeeming qualities in the stories, they are just stories - written for the fun of it. The book should have had a hole drilled into the upper left-hand corner, for you to be able to "...hang it from a nail on the outhouse door." (NOTE: Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to drill nail holes into the corners of the almanac to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1919, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.) Plenty of silliness, a plethora of weirdness, and an explosion of insanity are all the attributes I can think of. Even my staunchest critics had to smirk when they read it and, in the immortal words of my wife: "Don't you have something better to do with your time?"

Third in a Series: The House on South Street has a new owner. The only constant to the property is the continued relentless overgrowth of brush and brambles as unseen forces strive to hide the secrets of the land. Hauntings are challenged and an evil entity finally meets its destruction. All who pass through the house need to beware that beyond the veil, Cadence Shadowsoul watches and plots to keep what is hers. Human souls are lost in the struggle as well - they did not consider the volume of evil nesting in the ready for the naive. Perhaps the next family will fare better...perhaps not!"
