MAGNIFICAT

Quinn Yarbro

What if the Pope weren't Catholic?

What if she never had been?

Secrets are the things you don't know you don't know.

An important secret may save your life. Someone tells you that secret. That secret is no secret any more.

It was Hidden Knowledge, but now it's part of the common knowledge.

We shed light on dark corners.

Just because you don't know something, that doesn't mean it's Secret. And it doesn't mean it's very important to anyone—including you.

What hurts you isn't what you don't know, but what you think you know but got wrong.

We'd like to make plain some secrets.

We publish books, and we run this website, and we provide information you can read and links you can follow. We guide you to suggested readings. We present photographs of interesting sites and artifacts. We have fun doing this.

We don't charge money for any of this stuff (except the e-books; we sell those). For all that's on the site (starting small, growing) you can support us by visiting our advertisers; if you see something you like there, buy it.

This is for fun. Um, maybe it's here for something just a little more than that.

Strange Seas by Suzy McKee Charnas—her most unusual book! Non-fiction about whales, and channeling, and writing, and a unique insight into the thoughts of this award-winning author. An astonishing work, totally unlike anything she has ever published before. "A Strange and interesting book.... Charnas fans will find Strange Seas fascinating."—ANALOG. “I am woven through your past, as you are through mine—and both of us through theirs, the sea-peoples’.” Hugo- and Nebula Award-winner Charnas has written a book about humans, her own past, and how our lives have always been intertwined with the creatures of the seas. “Strange Seas” is Charnas’ first nonfiction book, and her first e-book. An investigation into personal questions about herself and her writing grew to encompass not just her past, but the pasts of all of us. “I saw a lot of closed doors inside the house of myself, labeled ‘I don’t care,’ ‘I don’t know,’ and—the majority—‘I don’t remember.’ But one stood open, the one that Miriam’s words had unlatched and flung wide—‘I don’t believe.’ There was no denying what lay beyond. The whales had souls, and I had been a killer of whales.” Available only as an e-book. 100,000 words.
