Book description
When does creativity become spiritual? An enthralling anthology of prose and poetry, Spiritus Mundi aims to answer this question, revealing the connection between imagination and the divine. First coined by Agrippa and employed by the poet W. B. Yeats, the term "spiritus mundi" describes the realm from which all creative and magical inspiration springs. In this incredible anthology of creative writing, editor Elizabeth Kim--feature writer for The Guardian and The Los Angeles Review of Books, and editor of Cunning Folk magazine--unlocks the mysteries of this realm through the use of topical writing prompts. Each creative work explores occult techniques such as invocation, cartomancy, and scrying. Including works by acclaimed authors such as Naomi Ishiguro, Alice Slater, and Ella Duffy, and original illustrations by Kaitlynn Copithorne, Spiritus Mundi is a treasure trove of incredible writing and deep inspiration. With contributions by Jen Campbell, Nikita Gill, Sharlene Teo, Yasmina Floyer, Callum James, Emma Glass, Pamela Grossman, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, Rebecca Tamas, Stephanie Victoire, Naomi Ishiguro, CA Conrad, Alice Slater, Leon Craig, Camilla Grudova, Ella Duffy, Wanjikũ Wa Ngũgĩ, and Leone Ross.

The app's compatibility with various sources for audio download is a true time-saver. ListenBook Pro's noise reduction feature is a revelation. It eliminates distractions and enhances the clarity of recordings, resulting in a more immersive experience. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didn’t have any major complaints, but I also don’t see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though. The narrator's voice took some getting used to - a bit nasal at first - but I grew to like it after a few chapters. Their pacing was excellent throughout.

🎶📚 Replacing melodies with literary symphonies – my ears are in love! 🎵📚 Audiobooks at my fingertips – this app's ease of use is a game-changer. The app is so versatile. It works with all my devices. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities. The perfect balance between dramatic reading and natural storytelling. Felt like a friend telling me an amazing story rather than someone just reading words.
