Have
you ever felt like you had a mission in life?
Carrie always knew that she was born with a
spiritual mission, but she had no idea what would that would mean.
In this supernatural thriller Carrie, who
uses her psychic abilities to counsel others on their path and to guide young
Wiccans, thought that this was what she was here to do. She was wrong.
Airion, a guide who before hid in shadows,
comes to her to reveal the real nature of who she is and the mission she
accepted before birth.
A dark entity wants the ley line running
along the east coast and under Carrie’s home. Under the guise of a metaphysical
cult, it takes the first steps to control this magickal energetic current. Can
she grow fast enough as a witch to face the growing dark force she can no
longer ignore? This battle could cost Carrie more than her life. And after
meeting her soul mate, that is a price Carrie will not pay without a fight.

Excerpt:
She was a
Wiccan, dedicated to the Goddess and protected by angels. She had felt the
presence of evil before, even worked with clients who embraced their dark side
to a dangerous degree. But she had always felt safe in her skills and
practices, strong enough to deflect the energy of others.
In
November, everything changed. One morning she entered the store to find the
manager in an irritable state. Abbie was not a warm, fuzzy person on the best
of days, but today she was ready for a battle. Carrie called ‘good morning’
with warmth and went into her reading room to set up her crystals, fabric, and
incense. As she started some meditation music playing, Abbie began the
interrogation.
“You must
have had quite a class last night.”
“Oh, it
was wonderful. They are such a beautiful group of people,” Carrie answered
carefully.
Digging
around Abbie’s brain, Carrie struggled to find the source of the issue. She
remembered her kind students cleaning the floor, why did Abbie feel that they
had left a mess?
“Did you
use any of the store’s books last night?” Abbie asked with a knowing smile.
“No, just
my own that I bring to class. Why do you ask?”
Abbie and
the owner often used aggressive tactics to get employees to admit some policy
violation. Carrie preferred to address direct questions and avoid the game of
cat and mouse. If she had done something wrong, she wanted Abbie tell to her so
that she could apologize and adjust her behavior. She looked at Abbie pleading
for her to get to the point.
“Well,
when I came in this morning all the books from the cases were on the floor.”
Abbie looked at her for a flicker of guilt. Instead, Carrie ran back into the
store to look at the floor.
“Oh, I
already put them back up. There is nothing to clean up.” Abbie was still
looking for some sign of wrongdoing.
“We did a
meditation for peace last night. We even vacuumed the floor to make sure we
didn’t leave cookie crumbs…” Carrie stammered, and her fear was palpable. Her
mind went immediately to the Dark Wizard’s rumored deal with evil that had
somehow included the store, but she shut her mouth.
Carrie’s
fear reinforced Abbie’s sense of authority, and she seemed surprised when
Carrie suggested that they review the security cameras to see what happened.
Abbie, satisfied, shrugged the incident off.
“Well, it
was just our ghost then,” Abbie said laughing. “Sometimes things just fall over
or move in the night.”
Carrie
could not hide her discomfort, but Abbie knew that ghosts did not frighten
Carrie.
“You know
we’re built on the ley line,” Abbie added. “Maybe there was some kind of tremor
last night.”
Yes, there was, thought Carrie, remembering the way her
hand quivered on the floor. In silence, and with intent, she saged the store
and then burned an unusual amount of frankincense.
Odd girl, thought Abbie. Nice enough, though.
When
Carrie settled back in her room, she burned more incense and an Archangel
Michael candle. Sure, there were coincidences, but the sense of unease from the
previous night grew. She had some time before her first appointment and
retreated into meditations of peace, not answers. She would get those soon
enough, but right now she needed to be able to focus on clients.
As the
day went on, it became clear that last night’s class would be Carrie’s last.
