In this week’s episode of Reel Time I have company, again. In a cycle of every five weeks, the
company, known hereafter as ‘& Co’, will be the star-lings of the show.
And as their namesake suggests, this week’s ‘& Co’ –
youths (of all ages), and a generous bunch of fun-stars they are too, will
fun-test all things magi-cal.
Magi are beyond doubt one of the most compelling intrigues
to make their way out of ancient mysticism.
The meaning of the word magi, as with its Latin twin, magis, has a
multi-talented purpose, as indicated in the reference below.
Words are a storyteller’s tools of
trade. A novelist painstakingly chisels
away to create and transfer a vision they hold.
For those in the know, that would be a –
Transvision
For those who have
yet to read the book, and therefore aren’t down on magi lingo – that would be a
‘shared vision’.
Magi come with their own set of characteristic
pinpoints. Like stars on a
constellation, if you join the dots you will always get self-sacrificing,
enlightened, empowered and inspiring old people. Now that is something worth a-spiralling too!
Of course magi characters have been around for a long
time. Forever and anon, whatever the
culture, past, present and, why not, even into the future, magi have
inspired. Writers, artists, musicians
and creators of all kind study them, understand and reinvent them and in doing
so, emanate them. Why not, after all
magi usually come with stars.
Jasmine Neutron Star is the first book of the Star Ways
Chronicles. It is a novel most suitable
for young adult and teenager readers of speculative, fantasy / science fiction,
urban fantasy. It is a humorous account
of Jasmine’s first adventure into the world of light – Quanta. She is a spirem – a new kind of superhero –
and perfect for the sphere of Terra.
