A phenomenon has been sweeping the earth for the last few years, and I've felt the eddies of its current for a few months now. But just the other day I decided to buckle down and start reading this book series by Vladimir Megre. Within 30 pages I have fallen in love with Anastasia, and simultaneously doubted the truthfulness of this story, which is explicitly stated to be true. So far I am taking it like the Carlos Castaneda books. In fact, Vladimir Megre could rightly be called the Carlos Castaneda of Russia. I say this with all the certainty that is possible for me having only read about 50 pages so far. But where Castaneda focuses on Brujeria, the native Shamanic sorcery of Hispanic America, Megre, through the character of Anastasia (whether she be real or imaginary), focuses on the oneness with environment that is the birthright of every human being. That, to me, is a superior kind of magic, and the kind I am cultivating now.
