Publisher's Synopsis
Peter Andrew Wright first became intrigued with magic when he was at kindergarten, an intrigue which developed into a serious study of the occult in his adult life. He was flogged at school because he wouldn't get down on his knees before Jesus, arguing he believed instead in the power of the natural world as written in the legends of the Earth Goddess, Gaia. As a young adult Peter suffered a nervous breakdown when the love of his life married another. On the road to his recovery he stumbled across a spiritual church, fuelling his already passionate love of nature, mysticism and spiritualism to new heights. From these experiences the concept of "Professor Midnight" was born, a moving magickal blend of modern witchcraft and ancient legend, crafted into a hauntingly unforgettable tale. You will love him, hate him, pity him, and fear him. His birth was prophesied by an ancient order who worshipped the Earth Goddess, Gaia, five hundred years in advance of his incarnation. Their descendents, a coven of witches based near the legendary Stone Henge, seek to guide him on the path of the wise, but first they have to find him. He was raised by a mother who cursed his existence, and he was empowered by magick. He dreamed of restoring the natural balance of Mother Earth and populating the planet with his magickal spawn. He was a genius, a lover of all that was beautiful, and as "Professor Midnight" he became one of the most revered magicians of all time. At the pinnacle of his career he was invited to become the resident entertainer in the bastion of power in the free world, The White House ... before his tormented craving for true love and his passionate desire to preserve the wildlife and wildernesses of our world led him to become one of the most feared men in history. This is the haunting tale of his heritage, his childhood, and his odyssey into witchcraft and the sciences. Enter, if you dare, the world of Professor Midnight ...
